Ten Albums "Everybody" Owned -- Including Me: Bat Out of Hell (#1)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86869) • United States 3 Aug 18

There's nothing like an 8 AM doctor's appointment on your day off to discombobulate you. My dermatologist is great, but by 9 AM he's running behind on his appointments, so I snagged the first appointment in the morning. The...

Ten Albums "Everybody" Owned -- Including Me: Rumours (#2)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86869) • United States 2 Aug 18

We had great weather for our golf tournament last weekend, which meant someone had to pay. It turned out to be our Wednesday night local, which was buried under a couple of inches of rain. Oh, well, there's always next week....

Ten Albums "Everybody" Owned -- Including Me: Tapestry (#3)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86869) • United States 1 Aug 18

Midweek dawns, and the summer work schedule for me starts to wind down. In another month I'll be back at the old five-day-a-week grind (and some weeks six days), but it's been a nice summer. And, I do still have a...

Welcome to Trouble Tuesday. Today's entry in my list of mega-selling albums that I bought (along with many millions of others) might cause controversy. Sorry, just being honest. Here's another album from that list of massive...

After a great weekend playing golf I'm back, ready to resume the countdown of big-selling albums through the years that I participated in making a big-selling album. This is a follow-up to a recent countdown, where I looked at...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86869) • United States 27 Jul 18

Hi and bye! This is getting posted before I take off for the lush fake green carpet so often associated with miniature golf. It's time to be with my brothers for the Legends. But first I'll give you, my web friends, another...

Putting is going well, thanks to therapy. I managed to tie for third place last night. The real test will be this weekend, with a two-day tournament. But for now, I'll relax and give you another mega-selling album that sold so...

A gloriously beautiful midweek morning dawns here in the land of the hockey sticks (if you've ever noticed, there are hockey sticks that say "Louisville" on them...well, they're made by the same company that makes the Louisville...

Ten Albums "Everybody" Owned -- Including Me: Abbey Road (#9)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86869) • United States 24 Jul 18

Don't tell anyone, but I'm still not hurting after therapy yesterday. I figure positive changes and "aches," not pain, is enough to get a therapist fired. I'll celebrate by giving you another one of those...

Thanks to everyone who chimed in on my series of discussions about legendary albums that I never bought. Now it's time to turn the tables, and look at the big sellers that I did own. I'm more "numbering" them than putting...

Ten Albums “Everybody” Owned — Except Me: Thriller

Four Walls @FourWalls (86869) • United States 22 Jul 18

This is the tenth and final installment of ten albums that sold well, considered “classics” in the world of music, and just completely bypassed my record collection. Yes, I’ll soon be starting the “albums ‘everybody’ owned —...

Ten Albums “Everybody” Owned — Except Me: Appetite for Destruction

Four Walls @FourWalls (86869) • United States 21 Jul 18

What a night. My weather radio didn’t shut up at all from about 7 PM until midnight. My part of town didn’t have much damage (certainly none that I saw), but there were flooded roads and downed trees in other parts of the city....

Four Walls @FourWalls (86869) • United States 20 Jul 18

Friday is off day for me in the summer. Today is under a cloud of the threat of severe weather. So with three eyes on the weather app I’ll use the fourth one (I wear glasses, so I’m a four-eyes) to give you another mega-selling...

Ten Albums "Everybody" Owned -- Except Me: Back in Black

Four Walls @FourWalls (86869) • United States 19 Jul 18

If you're keeping score, given that I'm not technically "counting down" this countdown (although I think the last album I post might surprise you, putting it at "#1" of sorts), this is the 7th of the ten albums that I bypassed at...

Humpy hapday! It is a positively GORGEOUS morning here in the land of the horse race and baseball bats, and here I am sitting inside talking about music. That's okay, the weekly tournament comes later in the afternoon. Right...

This morning was supposed to be another artist, but JJ featured him today, so I'll get him later. These aren't in "countdown" order, anyway. I might put the movies that "everybody" saw, except me, in order, but these are just in...

Ten Albums "Everybody" Owned -- Except Me: Sticky Fingers

Four Walls @FourWalls (86869) • United States 16 Jul 18

Yesterday I was dragging myself around the local Putt Putt course, suffering through back pain in the name of "fun." Nah, it wasn't that bad: I'm feeling it far more today than I did yesterday. I didn't play well, but at...

Hot, hot, hot, hot. Oh, and did I mention HOT?! I had to skip the golf tournament today because of the heat. It's supposed to be overcast tomorrow, plus we're starting earlier in the day (not to mention it's only four rounds,...

Ten Albums "Everybody" Owned -- Except Me: Frampton Comes Alive!

One thing you'll notice as I go through these ten "classic" albums is that not only did I fail to buy the "big one," I never owned anything else by them. There is one exception to that rule, and I'll highlight them when we...

Ten Albums "Everybody" Owned - Except Me: Dark Side of the Moon

Four Walls @FourWalls (86869) • United States 12 Jul 18

Time for another countdown, and a confession of sorts. This time around I'm going to look at ten albums that are considered "classics" in rock and roll and humongous sellers, to the point where you think "everybody" has it. No,...
