Yes, I read concert reviews from Seattle and Los Angeles. That is how I came across this list, one review was on Rolling Stone’s site. Benjamin Orr was in a band with Jeff Carlisi (.38 Special) and Derek St. Holmes (Ted Nugent)before he, Orr, passed away.

I still think “The Stranger” is the height of his output.

Excellent piece. I am surprised no one picked this one:

The Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

Definitely. That was his masterpiece, Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, Vienna, Just the Way You Are (before it was overplayed to death)

I was going to say Mazzy Star too! That one, and The Sundays version of Wild Horses is even better than the Stones.

The best one in recent years is Your Long Journey by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.

All excellent. “Pyramid” and “Turn of a Friendly Card” were exceptional albums.
