Yes, there are other music websites that deserve your attention, especially one whose motto is "We listen to lousy records so you won't have to." Wilson & Alroy's Record Reviews is funny, self-effacing and opinionated - and vast, covering popular music from the 1950's through the present. So, who the heck are Wilson and Alroy? Let them answer that:| David Bertrand Wilson, born in 1967, is a college dropout, songwriter and all-around unsavory character who programs computers and subverts capitalism on the rare occasions that he isn't at home listening to records. (DBW) Dr. John Alroy, born in 1966, is the last person you would ever want around in the case of a medical emergency. He lives in Santa Barbara, and works every once in a while as a research biologist. His scientific work is in ecology, systematics, macroevolution, and paleobiology (yeah, that means fossils). (JA) |
How can you not like a site that has lists like Best Songs Promoting Polyamory:
Isaac Hayes - Moonlight Lovin' (Menage Á Trois)
Chef - Simultaneous"
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Triad
Rick James - 1, 2, 3 (U, Her & Me)
Take a look at this impressive Fleetwood Mac page, which gives a history of the band and its members using album reviews as the vehicle. On the main page, they have random (changing each visit) album picks/pans of the moment. Enjoyable and informative. Check them out.
