Made me smile last night whilst reading the several letters written/emailed in
by Rory fans concerning the reviews of 'some' of Rory's albums throughout his career.
Most were finding it unbelieveable that Photofinish, Top Priority, and Stagestruck were
not even given a mention! In his defense the writer replied that Rory never made a
bad album, so it was hard to choose!!
To true!
Got me thinking... there can't be many artists that you can say that about.
Even some of my other favourite artists have made their fare share of duds!
AC/DC, The Stones, etc. The only other one who comes to mind would be
the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughan, who, like Rory made an astonishingly good
final album! (Fresh Evidence was also ignored by Classic Rock magazine!)
Thoughts????
