Dig deep pull out an old favorite and take a ride down nostalgia lane and let us know about it.

I really wanted to dig in my LP's, but my dear sister plugged my turntable directly, the problem is that we have 220v and I bought my turntable in Miami (110v), I think I'll have to fix it because it's a very good one (Dual with those little scales and nonsenses).
But yesterday I had a small bussines trip and had to drive for almost 6 hours, so placed 6 almost forgotten CD's in the car and had great moments with:
Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds: Great mixture of Prog' epic with disco music, love this album, and heard it after some years. Richard Burton's narrative is amazing, and fit's exactly with the music.
Love Devotion Surrender (Santana & Mc Laughlin): Never liked this album, bought the CD because was realy cheap and for collection purpose, but I gave myself a new chance and found some great moments in this classic, not the best work of Santana and/or Mc Laughlin, but it's good enough to listen it more frecuently.
Look at Yourself (Uriah Heep): I always talk about this album as good example of prog' metal, but hadn't heard it for some years, and yesterday I found it still is a great one, the title song is really amazing specially because they used the OSIBISA percusionists, and "Tears in my Eyes" is a wonderful progressive song, with one of the vocal harmony break supported by smooth wah-wah guitar 've ever heard. And of course "July Morning" a masterpiece. Really a "must have".
Aurora (Jean Luc Ponty): I simply love this album, don't know why I don't listen it more often.
Heads (OSIBISA): Don't know what style they play, lots of african rythms, vocal choirs, great rock and some semi prog' moments, except for their hit single Che Che Kule, the album is very good, with great songs as Woyaya, So So Mi La So and Sweet Sounds. As an ex drummer, can't do anything but admire the excelent rythm section.
