"Flight Of Icarus"
"Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears.
Looks the old man in the eye.
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I fly."
"Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son"
The lady behind the thick glass doesn't skip a beat, spins around a map of the arena for me to see and puts her fingernail along the image of the stage and says, "We've got seats all right in here." I'm stunned.
Aerosmith "Toys In The Attic"
Aerosmith; St"Toys In The Attic," April 8, 1975, is 100% American Rock & Roll. This formula of blues driven Hard Rock, a solid groove, twin guitars and the kind of front man your momma don't like but she can't stop looking at, either, would inspire too many future Rock & Roll bands to count.
Sound Of Summertime
"We've got a special guest in the audience tonight...it's a newspaper critic. You can tell what he looks like 'cuz he's got an Elvis Costello haircut and he looks like one a my old probation officers.....,"
David Lee Roth
"Houses Of The Holy"
The whole thing. You know. "Houses Of The Holy" is a masterpiece. Trust no man who disrespects or doesn't know this album front to back. Here's the whole album.

Van Halen - 5150
I remember hearing "Why Can't This Be Love," in my mom's car on the way to school one morning. I bought the cassette as soon as I could. Within a few weeks of the release I hear on the radio that Van Halen will be headlining the 1986 Texxas Jam
Van Halen II 40th Anniversary
"We gotta bunch of new songs for you, people....the new album came out today!!"
David Lee Roth, March 23, 1979
"Sad Wings Of Destiny"
"I'm shy and I'm shameless, nocturnal and nameless, except for "The Ripper," or, if you like, "Jack the Knife...,"
"Among The Living"
The entire album is a clinic in Thrash Metal speed and precision and a thorough demonstration of Anthrax's deserved status among "The Big Four," of American Heavy Metal, alongside Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer.
The Number Of The Beast
Iron Maiden's third studio album is released on this day, March 22, 1982. "Number Of The Beast" would be Iron Maiden's first album to feature new s...
