“Music is the soundtrack of our lives,” Dick Clark once quipped. There is no doubt that we all have songs and albums that we remember as being significant for any number of reasons over the course of our lives. Whether it be pop, rock, blues, country, jazz, classical and, yes, even rap, these tunes evoke fond memories and stay with us forever.
I have created a list of what I consider to be my favourite albums over my lifetime. It is influenced by the era I grew up in and would likely be considered primarily a “classic rock” list. I certainly would not expect anyone to agree wholeheartedly with my list, but chances are that one or two of these entries might make your list as well.
This is an album released in the 1970’s that I fell in love with soon after it’s release. In order to get the location of the cache you will have to answer the following puzzle: N 52 06.ABC W 106 34.DEF.
