Raspberries- Play On: A Raspberries Tribute (Originals- 2025)- ****
Paul McCartney- McCartney (1970)- ****
New Radicals- Maybe You've Been Brainwashed, Too (1998) - ****
(I still refer to the New Radicals as one of my favorite new bands even though this one and done masterpiece is almost 30 years old.)
Pink Floyd- A Saucerful Of Secrets (1968)- ***1/2
Public Enemy- Fear Of A Black Planet (1990)- ****
Roy Ayers- Stoned Soul Picnic (1968)- ****
(A couple of years before he exploded with Ubiquity. This record kills me. Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Charles Tolliver, Gary Bartz. Amazing playing throughout and incredibly musical.)
Gong- Flying Teapot (1973)-***
Elton John- The Captain & The Kid (2006)- ***1/2
James Walbourne- The Hill (2011) - ****
(Yet another rediscovery during the library reconstruction. Haven't played this gem in ages. Do yourself a favor and track it down. Every song a winner. If you don't know, Walbourne is one half of The Rails with his wife Kami Thompson, one half of His Lordship and long time Pretenders guitarist.)
Oasis- Time Flies...1994-2009 (2010, Personal Edit)- ***
(Even my own mix failed to move me. I repeat, "Morning Glory" is all you need.)
Ultravox- Live At The Rainbow, 1977 (2022)- ****
(Great set! If you love the John Foxx years as much as I do, listen to this. Three unreleased tracks and the classics.)

Did you get an advance copy of Play On? You lucky dog, you.
No no. That's an Apple playlist of the originals that cmealha shared.
Probably just as well. This tribute looks better than most, but that's really because the originals are so freaking great.
Just about everything McCartney touched in the 70's was golden.
Hahahaha re: your comment on Oasis and how even your own playlist couldn't convince you to care about Oasis.
