Thanks so much. I get that. Many have said to me how do you love that classic Yes and not like Rush. Happy Holidays to you and your family. Best, alan

Thanks so much as always. It's true what you said. Today and for decades - women rockers, deservedly so, are all over - on an equal level with the men rock stars...as it should be. But as you said in the 60's and early 70's - real, true women "rock" stars were a rarity. Grace Slick was the real deal, and not to be sexist, she was quite the looker as well. I was excited to get the Best of Grace Slick cd as it covers her whole career including the classic Airplane years. So a little surprising to realize her career, based on the this album...is lets say...less than overwhelming. But I still love her voice and when she's on her game...phew - amazing. As a huge fan of CSN&Y, I hope you can find this CNY concert from 1972 online somewhere - you'll love it. Happy Holidays and thanks as always.

Thanks so much... As an aside, I guess I'm a White Castle human experiment. I started eating them as a baby. My parents would take us to White Castle and we would eat in the car - they would put a tray on the car window. I remember it to this day. And I have never stopped eating White Castle - 60 years of this...lol. White Castle are you out there???? You should promote me...lol... Yea I've seen Ian Hunter / Rant Band live - fantastic!!! Happy Holidays and thanks so much.

Wow Perry Christmas and your birthday together. Now that's a celebration. subtle as a flying mallet...lol. Well I hope you get it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I really like those offbeat Stones comps like Sucking In The 70's and Time Waits For No One. I know some of the songs are edited, but I still enjoy them. I've seen that Japanese shm cd but don't have it. I have the original vinyl. I'm sure the CD sounds better too. I'll have to get it at some point when I see it. Anyways -Hope you have a great birthday and Christmas / Holidays. And hope you get Luck And Strange too. Best, Alan

@@drocker4729 thanks so much. Really interesting deep choices you shared. Thanks

thank you so much. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well. Best, Alan

I imagine it is wonderful. The amount of Hendrix constantly being releases and re-released and box sets - I can't keep up. But thanks for the info on this one.

Ciao Back to you. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Merry Christmas and holidays.

lol- yea it's true - the frightening thing is I have close to 300 albums already in the backlog - some there for years. Been buying less lately and getting into some of that backlog. Thanks as always and Happy Holidays.

will do - thanks Larry.

Thanks so much - really appreciate it.

It says The Ox. thanks

I'm so glad as well Martin - I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday!!!

thanks so much - you too!!!

Thanks so much - I hope you enjoy them - I'm sure you will. Happy Holidays.

thanks Mark - great to see Gilmour way up there. I've never even heard of Cats In Space or Geordie Greep - will be looking them up shortly. Thanks so much as always and Merry Christmas to you and your family. Best, Alan

@@manofmiracles thanks so much. Happy holidays to you and your family

I appreciate Miss You. I enjoy it. But definitely not one of my favorites. I do prefer the 12" mix too.

Thanks so much. Really appreciate it.

I'm loving Chris Rea. I'm always on the lookout in the wild for more of his. He has not let me down even once. I'm throughly enjoying every one of his albums. I wasn't aware of this box set. Wow what an undertaking. And wonderful to hear he's doing better. As you know, here in the US, he's pretty much an unknown entity, but yea I'm loving him. Thanks as always, and Happy Holidays to you and your family.

I didn't know that - interesting. I know that is a really old song Rod did, but unaware he re-did it with Gilmour. Very cool. Thanks for the tip.

That' reality box is incredible looking. Long out of print now - amazing job by Madfish. I didn't buy it because I had the studio albums already, but I should have. I didn't realize the vinyl had extra tracks. I'm with you. Hunter's on an incredible roll. He gets no publicity and most are unaware, but it's a shame because he's fantastic. So cool you met him. I imagine he would be a pretty humble guy. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. That's kind of true. It's always Christmas when we find some great music - wonderful thought. Thanks so much. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

You really do watch my channel....lol. Great memory - I did previously show that album and did show the poster....I'm still depressed about her death..lol. I liked the Suede album but not amongst my favorite of theirs, but still good. REO can be hit or miss. When they're really good, like Infidelity, Tuna Fish, the live album...reall good. I'm a fan from before they made it but stuck with them. Leonard Cohen is awesome. But I'm still getting in to him. I have most of his albums but not all. He's in a class by himself and terrific. Toto I've tried but not a fan. Regarding the Big 3, I love Zeppelin the most by far. In a different League then DP and Sabbath, but I do have most of the original "classic" DP albums and all those Sabbath ones. Honestly I rarely listen to them. Classic, legendary for sure, but rarely on my listening. Zep in another league for me. Thanks as always.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow I'm scary obssessive about your ch so watch out lol. Thanks for the reply always interesting! Enjoyed the Stones album war, timely after the singles ranking as well, been a massive Stones month for me thanks to your ch. Maybe we can do a similar Kinks rundown in the new year as they rarely get mentioned. Keep well.

@ Thanks again. You may have watched it already. But I did some Kinks videos. I remember going thru every album and picking my favorite go to songs from reach. Check in playlist under artist discography. I’m out right now so I can’t look. Lol. I’ll try to do more kinks in new year too.

Thanks so much and thanks for giving the tip on that CN&Y concert for our viewers. I'm loving that concert. Regarding Privateering. Congratulations on finding it for $1. How great is that. The fun of the hunt. I think I live for the music hunt...lol. You know I love Straits and I love Knopfler. But what I've found is the solo albums are kind of "samey". They have largely merged into my head except for the first three. I have a beautiful deluxe edition of Privateering in like a slim box withe 3-CD's but when I look at the tracks, I'm hard pressed to hear them in my head with recall. I've never not liked a Knopfler album but they haven't reallly standed out of late as well. So my reaction is like the new one. It's very good....but samey ....and not overly memorable. But it's been a long time since I've heard it. He sure is prolific though. I hope you enjoy it. Tempting me now to give a another visit. Best, Alan

Thanks for watching and enjoying...That was a fun series. One day will have to do it again. Very best, alan

Thanks so much again for dipping into these older videos. I'm so glad you enjoyed this one and others.

That was so much fun, but I gotta say paid the price the next day....lol. Apparently Beer wasn't a good chaser...lol. Thanks again.

You have it reversed. I have a database of every album I own. I created it decades ago and it has every song on every album, when I bought it, when It came out, chart positions. I have over 6000 albums and I can find instantly when I bought every single one of them. I can do myriad of sorts. I'm quite proud of it, and gives me a unique perspective on my history of buying music over 50 years. I think it's amazing actually. I don't print it out. I did it for the viewers of this channel so they can easily see at their leisure what I bought this year and thought it was a nice bonus idea for the video.

I know I keep thanking you, but really - thanks again for really dipping into my channel. I appreciate your support and comments.

Thanks so much - Happy Holidays to you too. Love the White Castle comment too.

Thanks for the tip. I'm a huge BOC fan, though I haven't gotten the new studio release and I haven't kept up on their newest live releases - there's so many. So I was unaware of this one. Cool that they're playing the complete albums and as you well know Secret Treaties is a good one. Will look for it. Interesting about the Pat Metheny as well. Thanks also for your comment about the Straits live box. I'm so thrilled you loved it as well. It does worry me a bit when I recommend something I love and then someone might buy it with their hard earned money and didn't like it. So I'm thrilled to hear you love it as I do. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Best, Alan

Thanks for sharing Joe. I've never owned a Jesse Malin album, but such a tragedy with his health and wonderful that they're trying to help him. I'll look for that. I know the Campbell album is appearing on lists so I should check that out. Love Warren Haynes but haven't seen that out in the wild. I've tried Samantha Fish and own a couple of her albums...She's the real deal and I'll look for that one too. Old '97s I tried decades ago, but didn't keep it...Now I don't remember it...lol. The other's I don't know. Interesting. Thanks so much Joe and Happy Holidays.

This is a cool list and the studio album, much I don't know about. I'm a fan of Beth Hart and The Black Crowes (actually have everything by them), but haven't gotten their new ones....don't know why? I will though. I tried Slash solo once back in the day wasn't thrilled. Haven't heard this one. Warren Hayne I'm a fan of and I see this appearing on other lists - on my list now too. Cool live album picks. The Fleetwood Mac I'll definitely get in time as with the Allmans (there's so many "Allman live albums now and I have most). I'm a Heart fan but bypassed the Ann Wilson solo one....I'll get eventually in the wild. Didn't know about the R.E.M. one - definitely gonna get that - I'm a fan. You know I have Fanny on vinyl in my backlog. I have to get to it. And the big question...and I'll probably embarrass myself to you....I don't know who Billy Strings is? I will of course now look him up. But #1 and #2 on your lists (and I love live albums), I will definitely be on the lookout. Obviously your taste is "simpatico" with mine. Thanks again and Happy Holidays!

Thanks so much Chris for your wonderful comment. Yea I totally agree. I always figured it was awful. Never hear the songs anywhere (well maybe Don't Be Denied), Neil avoided it being released since the original vinyl. I actually got the 8-track first and then the remastered CD and I was blown away by how great it is. And like you said wonderful variety. Fantastic find. One of the best of the year for me. So glad you love it too. Thanks as always

Thanks so much. Yea - hard to keep up with Richard Thompson. I have like three of his older albums already in backlog plus the incredible boxset of his. It's been down there for two years. The booklet alone is insane. I vow to get to it soon. I heard some songs from the Hackett studio album...my reaction was probably similar to yours on the Gilmour album...lol. I seem to LOVE the Hackett live releases but kind of ok on his studio albums....like you I shall give it another shot. Interesting point. My grandma used to say the days are long but the years go fast....they sure do. Happy Holidays and thanks.

....lol.....I laughed so hard I started coughing......you on the back of the BOA album. Oh you're a pissa...is that how you spell pissa. I'm so glad you love the Isbell live album. I'm telling you I love like everything he puts out. He's just great. You also know I'm a sucka for great live albums. I'm LOVING the Lowell George album - so glad you convinced me to pull it from the backlog. You know it always got lousy reviews which is why I never bought it before. Damn - it's pretty great actually.

I bought a vinyl copy of the Lowell George album in London in 1981 for less than £1 after travelling overnight by bus from Glasgow and filling in a few hours before flying out to Menorca for a holiday with my then new girlfriend, now my wife. Both the album and my wife have stuck with me. Kudos to Lowell George for a great album and to my wife for having the patience of a saint! Great video, Alan. Some great choices. Have a great Christmas.

@@russellcampbell3274 Love this story Russell. Isn't it amazing how a record purchase can permanently leave an incredible memory and association. Becoming more than just an album but a signpost on our life. I love this story. As for the album, I never got it because it had a lousy reputation, and I'm a big Little Feat fan no less. But wow I was missing out. I LOVE it. Thanks again for sharing and Merry Christmas to you, your wife and your family.

@russellcampbell3274 The deluxe edition of the CD has some extra tracks and it is definitely worth hearing them. I never get tired of listening to this album. And by the way there was a special Record Store Day version of the album.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Thanks, Alan. All the best.

Thanks so much Mike. I've heard great things about the Green Day (I never bought their stuff - but my kids always played them...damn I'm feeling old...lol) and I've heard great things about Burton Cummings. I'm not sure what it is - I've never really given him the chance. I"ve put him on my "look-out" for list. I really like the Wetton box, but be wary - it's not proggy - I wish it was more proggy actually. More AOR commercial - which is fine. Some great stuff, some OK stuff, but glad I have it. Nice box. Thanks so much - HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you and your family and thanks for your support.

Tom Petty is one of my favorite artists of all time. I think he's incredible and was lucky enough to see him live multiple times. I had all his official albums but now a bit hard to keep up. His estate is doing a sensational job with the new issues and re-issues. Funny thing is Long After Dark has ALWAYS been near the top of my favorite Petty albums, and was extra special because it seemed like no one else knew or liked it. Now it's gotten a whole new life which it deserves. I haven't gotten the Gennaro tapes vinyl - I've never seen it. Hopefully I'll spot it one day or they'll release it on CD I'd love that. I also have to get the Fillmore 4 CD release from last year?? Thanks for the mention of it. And thank you, and the other viewers for watching and supporting me and that brings me great happiness...thanks again and have a wonderful holiday and New Year.

I should love the Uriah Heep and Wilson albums - you got them for me...thanks again. I've heard amazing things about the Anderson album with the Geeks. I'm sure I'll get it next year...lol. Amazing you saw Neil Young back then. I've fallen in love with Time Fades Away.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Time Fades Away has always been one of my favorites also.

Thanks so much for giving me and my little channel a chance - I really appreciate it. Funny, I've really like APP for decades. Bought their album releases, played them, always enjoyed them, but you're right - they never toured, so they were always kind of "in the back" so to speak for me. But I had all the albums. I was blown away how great they were live and I'm "re-hooked" on them. There's another live one with an orchestra from South America I think and I'll definitely get that as well. My wife is not a "huge music fan" but she also loved it and knew most of the songs...well probably from me. And thanks for putting in the history which I neglected to do. He has a fascinating history and for all he's done, seems like a wonderful humble man. Thanks again and HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!!

Thanks so much. Very cool list you present. It's Only Rock 'n' Roll is #1 - wow - that's interesting. Doom And Gloom is #2. wow. So thrilled to see Highwire at #4. Don't Stop and Saint of Me so high. wow - I so appreciate your diversity away from the "obvious". Yea - really cool list - thanks for sharing - Happy Holidays to you and your family. Best, Alan

@srirahulpremkumar1600 all time classic. That’s for sure. Great choice

I can relate David...lol.

Yes - amazing covers - amongst the greatest of all time in my opinion.

That was in the 70's and yes they were the big four - on another league from the others. The gods of rock. Of course there were lots of other huge mega bands that would sell out arenas and stadiums and were massive, but in the 70's those four were the true giants. There was no fifth. In the 80's no doubt U2 and Springsteen would join the list and became bigger than The Who.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Bruce Springsteen?? Wow that surprised me. Wow

@srirahulpremkumar1600 After Born In The USA, Springsteen became a worldwide mega star....and still is. In fact I think he's now bigger overseas than in the USA and he's still pretty much a guaranteed stadium sell out. Mid 80's he could sell out 10 shows at a single stadium...more if he wanted to.

@ in the uk it was a bit different. He was massive in the 80s. Like born in the USA was massive. But I don’t think he was considered as top 5 in the 80s. He was definitely top 10. Top 5 in the uk in the 80s was U2, genesis, Queen, Michael Jackson, dire straits. I think it’s maybe because Bruce Springsteen became very big quite late in the 80s when half the decade was already over.

@ yea. Queen Dire Straits even Genesis we’re all big in the Is but not really stadium level.

Hi Perry - thanks. I've never even heard of Dancing Down The Stony Road. Just looked up on amazon - only available as an import. I'll be on the lookout - and it's a double CD to boot. Cool. Sounds like you'll have some great Christmas cheer with Goats Head Soup and the Wyman book. Enjoy. I'm sure you will. Happy Holidays to you and your family Perry. Best, Alan

I absolutely and completely agree with you. It's documentary. Jagger obviously has nothing but the utmost respect for African American culture, music and influence. He's singing about historical situations that occurred. And 95% of the audience didn't know the lyrics or what he was singing about. To most it was simply one of the all time great rock songs of all time...and a #1 to boot. Now cut out along with legendary classic movies and books because it upsets someone and gets cancelled simply because it documents a previous time in history. History is meant to be studied and learned from, not deleted.

I don't think it's a bad album. But I think it's the worst Stones studio album. But that's still better than many other band's good albums.

Thanks so much for tuning in. I'm so glad you liked the video. There's 400+ more and a Stones playlist for you to hopefully enjoy. I really appreciate it. Great stuff you chose. I was choosing singles so Monkey Man, Dance, Baby Break It Down wouldn't qualify, but great songs. Thanks again.
