Warren Zevon – Finally inducted into the Hall of Fame!!

A while back, we talked at length about Warren Zevon, one of the great American songwriters and one of our idols. So, this year, Warren Zevon has been inducted into the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame, along with Bad Company and Cyndi Lauper, and we thought that was a perfect excuse to close the loop on our coverage of his career. It’s all here – his later career, final album, appearances on Letterman. We loved doing it, and we know that you'll love listening to this one! Our “ Album You Must Listen to Before You Die ” is John Lennon’s 1980 hit, “Imagine”. As usual with Lennon’s solo albums, it’s more (and less) than it seems on the face of it, containing some of Lennon’s best work along with some filler. But, hey, it’s a strong album and gave Roxy Music their worst-ever cover (FYI - “Jealous Guy”). We also venture into the world of ChatGPT to find out the Best Albums of 1972. Fairly strong list – Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, Lou Reed and .............................. Wishbone Ash! Who?
