I am not too familar with this band, but I think that might have hit the best choice. I checked DDD, and was shocked that the lack of even one modern guitarist listed in their Top 200.

Classic Rock Album of the Day- The Offspring- Splinter- (2003) ***
Mostly unnoticed and enjoyable in the process of fatherhood was my openness to listening to the music of my children. Thankfully, they were just as open minded to recognizing the likes of Rush, Yes, The Who, and AC-DC as...

Classic Rock Album of the Day- Tool- Undertow (1993) *** 1/2
Today's installment is quite a remarkable band that is a leader of their rather narrowed but splintered genre. Describing Tool is variable mix of Alternative, Prog, and Metal. These aren't pikers as their music has a massive amount...
Thanks, I agree this is a fine album, and in some ways captures the overall feel of Grunge better than Nirvana's "Nevermind". Vedder and Cobain are both so larger than life in the persona of their bands that it is hard to extract presence from the product. And from the surface they actually...

Classic Rock Album of the Day- Huey Lewis and the News- Sports (1986) *** 1/2
I know I haven't covered many what I would consider a commercial pop rock LP's through this process. 90% of them generally have one or two catchy hooked laden tunes, and aren't really worth the purchase price...
