The reason for my fav being Speak of the Devil -ozzy

Brad Gillis is one of my fav guitarist. I met him at a show he was putting on in Litchfield, Il. Night Ranger was playing and this is when they were playing smaller venues as opposed to bigger places they used to. Everyone knew Brad as the talented guitarist for Night Ranger but didn't know that he played for Ozzy when Randy Rhoads passed away in March of '82.

Speak of the Devil was recorded in Nov. of '82. Ozzy owed the record company two records. It was a live double album. They recorded live at the Ritz at an empty venue. Three songs had crowd noise dubbed in to have the album appear more live. Crazy.

I talked to Brad and have the utmost respect for his versatile talents. Great album.

1. Pink Floyd - The Wall

2. Queen - A Night at the Opera

3. Tool - Aenima

4. Megadeth - Rust in Peace

5. Cat Stevens - Tea for Tillerman

It was such a ground breaking masterpiece in terms of writing style, the different variety of music. And the technical break through in recording techniques by both Jimi and Eddie Kramer.

Aja - Steeley Dan

Not only is the music and the songs are great.. But I thought Gary Katz did a great job mixing and EQueing that record.

Hughes / Thrall.

Glenn Hughes and Pat Thrall (Pat Travers) put out a collaboration album in 1982. It was just brilliant from the songwriting and the Music.. it had that Grand canyon sound to it. it was brilliantly engineered. Sadly. Promoters and the like didnt do enough to push the record at the time.. Which to Me is a travesty. its a well crafted album and it shouldve made the charts.

Ozzy Osbourne - Speak of the Devil.

I really love Brad Gilli's performance on guitar , on this album. The guitar sound was just absolutely killer. I really believe Mesa Boogie Amplifiers came to the forefront because of that album.. those old boogie simul-class Mark II amps were great.

Dream Theater's Metropolis: Scenes from a Memory.

Just a great album that tells great stories..every musician in this band is tops... And Kevin shirley did a great job engineering it.

Alison Krauss is magic to music.

on youtube.

To me, the music moves me, I love the complexity of the different instruments making

music, and Alison singing. And, their music that makes the movie

"Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou" so perfect in the soundtrack.
