Their album “Aliens” was a great theme album about the migration of the Irish from Ireland to America. It definitely it an underrated gem of the 1970s.
George Winston passed away earlier this year. I will always be indebted to him for a couple of the great piano albums of all time.
The most tender place in my heart is for strangers

In college I had a fantasy fiction class in college and we were reading Lilith: A Romance by George MacDonald. This at the same time I really gave this album a listen. The result was a deeper appreciation of both.
This is just the greatest song ever done by AC/DC. It’s not just the lyrics, even though they are dark dark dark. But it’s everything else, and mostly it’s Bon Scott’s vocals.

Tori Amos plays a Bösendorfer piano. Impress your friends with that. They make 97 and 92 key instruments in addition to traditional 88.
Can you tell in this song?
