This is the legendary swedish humour-singer, multiinstrumentalist and rock'n'roller Eddie Meuza's debut-LP from 1975. He has gone to history as a crazy boozer that could write nasty lyrics like no other and he remains a cult figure to this day, especially among rockabilly- and veterancarpeople. If you visit an Swedish city or town on a friday och saturday night you will probably hear Meduza's music playing from old cars driving around.

This album is clearly an debutalbum and is not very good, with a few exeptions. The music is swedish "dansband" and amateurish pop and rock in the 70's style.

The drummers Roger Palm and Ola Brunkert is of ABBA-fame.

This is actually ELO:s 7th album even though it's from 1977! It consists of superlight symphonic rock-pop with a somewhat weird twist and was one of the band's most selling, reaching a sale of 10 million albums! Jeff Lynne wrote the album in just 3 weeks while spending time in the Swiss alps. It was recorded during 2 month in München, Germany. For me this is normally too soft but ELO has always seemed to make good music, no matter what influences they mix in, even though there's also some low watermarks here, escpecially from track 7 and onwards.

Rush's 20th album consist of the now well known melodic progressive driving rocksongs that has been their trade mark for almost 40 years! The album feels alive and delivers, as usual, good songs. The only thing I can complain about is that they are a bit too similiar to eachother and has approxematly the same length. 

The album went straight into nr.1 on the Canadian charts and to nr.2 on the Billboard 200 chart and also won the Rock album of the year in the 2013 Juno awards.
