#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 The Wombats - Glitterbug In my top 50 albums of all time. The Wombats always seemed to me as the kids that grew up listening to their older siblings’ #britpop records. #indie #nowplaying #nowspinning

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 The Wombats - A Guide To Love, Loss & Desperation - This Modern Glitch Didn’t get a chance to post yesterday, so as we Canadians say, this is a two’fer! #indie #nowplaying #britpop

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Sleeping With Sirens - Complete Collapse Today’s gym soundtrack is a collection of riffs. And then some more riffs… #nowplaying #gymmusic

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Little Richard - Gold How cool was Little Richard? Cooler than you or I will ever be… #rockandroll #littlerichard #nowplaying

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Oasis - Unplugged Double #bootleg #vinyl that includes acoustic versions of tracks from various locations. Also great hearing Noel sing songs associated with Liam… #nowplaying #britpop

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Butch Walker - Left Of Self-Centered This morning’s gym soundtrack. Butch’s at his rock in’-ist. #rockmusic #nowplaying #gymsoundtrack

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Robbie Williams - Britpop First listen is now. Bought it based on the “Pretty Face” single (which is pretty great). #britpop #robbiewilliams #nowplaying

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Thunder - Dopamine Hopefully not their last album because it’s great. Wishing vocalist Daniel Bowes a successful recovery after the traumatic events he’s been through. I love this band. #nowplaying #hardrock #britishrock

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Thunder - All The Right Noises Solid album. What does the cover mean? #nowplaying #hardrock

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Thunder - Rip it Up Probably the one Thunder album I don’t know every word on. That’s more to do with me than the release itself (which is pretty great if I’m honest). #hardrock #nowspinning #2017

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Thunder - Wonder Days Pretty great album. Vocalist Danny Bowes is in fine form here. Great cover art too after two questionable covers. The only Thunder I don’t have vinyl. Anyone selling one for a reasonable price? #japanesecd #hardrock #nowplaying

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Thunder - Bang! A vastly underrated Thunder album. “Stormwater” should be played on rock radio hourly. If you love Bad Company, or Status Quo, your ears deserve to hear this song… #nowplaying #hardrock #classicrock

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Thunder - Robert Johnson’s Tombstone Some of my favourite Thunder songs can be found on this uneven album. But that cover?! Someone signed off on that… #nowplaying #slbumcover #hardrock

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Thunder - The Magnificent Seventh A great album that the band toured on with Status Quo and Deep Purple. British rock royalty, all three of them. …and what a great cover! #nowplaying #hardrock

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Thunder - Shooting At The Sun Today’s gym soundtrack is the band’s fifth album. Top tier album from the band’s catalogue… …and “Somebody Get Me A Spin Doctor “ rings as true today as it did 20+ years ago (unfortunately). #hardrock #nowplaying

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Thunder - Giving The Game Away My least favourite Thunder album. I probably need to give it another try. The album prior and afterwards are two of my favourites… #nowplaying #nowspinning #hardeock

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Thunder - The Thrill Of It All Album #4 and I’d say this might be my second favourite album by the band. …and the production is amazing! #nowplaying #nowspinning #hardrock

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Thunder - Behind Closed Doors The band’s third album. The band does their best to stick to their guns during the height of grunge, but the results are mixed. Not the album that you want to start your discovery of Thunder with… #nowplaying #hardrock

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Thunder - Laughing On Judgement Day Some of my favourite Thunder songs ever are on this, but it’s not in the top tier of their albums (imo). #rockandroll #hardrock #nowspinning #nowplaying

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Thunder - Back Street Symphony One of the greatest #hardrock bands ever create one of the best debuts ever. If there was a path of British blues based rock in English country side w/Humble Pie and Free markers on it, Thunder would be the next sign post. #nowplaying

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Frank Turner - Positive Songs For Negative People Thanks to my son and his 3D printer, I now have one of those “Now Playing” stands. “I don’t want to spend the whole of my life inside. I want to step out and face the sunshine…” #nowplaying #frankturner

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Extreme - Waiting For The Punchline Today’s gym sound track is my least favourite Extreme album. I do like many tracks, but it’s too “je ne sais quoi” as an entire track. ‘Cynical’ is pretty great though… #nunobettencourt #nowplaying #90s #hardrock

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Al Green - Explores Your Mind @wafflehousejesus.bsky.social approves this pick. #soul #soulmusic #nowplaying

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 A - Teen Dance Ordinance Equal parts Blink 182 and David Lee Roth (solo albums-era). Produced by Terry Date. #britrock #poppunk

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 The Struts - Pretty Vicious In a word? Fun. #rockandroll #nowplaying #nowspinning

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 @chaingangof1974.bsky.social - Felt As the polar vortex hits the Greater Toronto area, this album is the soundtrack to my attempt to keep warm inside with loved ones. #nowplaying #indie #keepwarm #musicislove

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds - Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021). This lad can write (and sing) a chooon! #britpop #oasis #nowplaying #nowspinning #indie

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Dokken - Greatest Hits Rerecords are often terrible. This isn’t…and it looks cool on #splattervinyl ! #rokkenwithdokken #hardrock #nowplaying #nowspinning

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Badger - Time Will Tell Extreme bassist gets a hand from Bleu to create a very impressive solo album. #extreme #nowplaying #rocknroll

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 AC/DC - Let There Be Rock Top 3 AC/DC album for me. Great driving album… #acdc #nowplaying #classicrock

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Strapping Young Lad - City I’m currently shovelling snow. This might be the perfect soundtrack as it provides the angst needed to get this stuff off my drive way. My lower back be damned… #heavymetal #wintermusic #devintownsend

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 This morning’s gym soundtrack… Flotsam And Jetsam - Cuatro Tired of the black album? This is the answer. #gym #heavymetal #nowplaying

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Dubstar - Two It’s currently raining outside here in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area), washing away the dirty snow gathered on the side of roads… …this is the soundtrack. #electropop #nowplaying #indie #britpop

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Dizzy Mizz Lizzy - Alter Echo The perfect soundtrack to a slow, snowy drive into work on a Friday. #powertrio #nowplaying #rocknroll

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Dave Hause - Drive It Like It’s Stolen If anyone has a line on tickets for the upcoming Toronto Dave Hause gig in Toronto, please let me know. I’d love to take my son. #nowplaying #nowspinning #rocknroll

Today’s gym soundtrack? A top 10 album ever for me - Silverchair’s “Diorama”. I hope Daniel Johns is well. #RockSolidAlbumADay2026 #gymmusic #nowplaying #rocknro

Underrated? The definition is …see album below. Pagliaro- I 1975. #RockSolidAlbumADay2026 One of the greatest #cancon albums you’ve probably never heard. Fun 70s AM gold/rock. Fits right in with was coming from the UK at the time. #rockandroll #nowplaying #classicrock

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Frustrated but happy? Struggling but determined? Love rock music? This is the album for you. 1997’s “Pure” - 3 Colours Red. #nowplaying #tredmillmusic #britrock #creationrecords

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 Apple Music has this as Icehouse’s essential album. I agree. #nowplaying #Australia #80s

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 The perfect soundtrack to a rainy Friday morning’s drive to work…but knowing the weekend is mere hours away. My album of 2024 - The Wombats’ “Oh! The Ocean “. #nowplaying #indie

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 One of the greatest hard rock albums ever, Harem Scarem’s “Mood Swings”. If you think Pyromania is a 10/10 album, you need this in your collection! #hardrock #nowplaying #rockandroll #japaneserelease #hmcd #bonustracks

Sad to hear of the passing of Santers’ bassist Rick Lazaroff. These 3 three albums (and an ep) are a perfect audio time capsule of the early 80s Toronto scene. I missed yesterday’s post for my #RockSolidAlbumADay2026 so these are yesterday, today and tomorrow’s selections. #nowplaying #vinyl

The #RockSolidAlbumADay2026 was my gym album today… Madhouse - Plead The Fifth Great sleazy, but melodic, hard rock. The perfect soundtrack to keeping the elliptical interesting!

#RockSolidAlbumADay2026 the bluetones- The Singles A great comp from an underrated band. “Marblehead Johnson” should be a staple on classic rock/alt radio. #britpop

#rocksolidalbumaday2026 The Oscar Peterson Trio - Night Train I want to explore more piano-led jazz. Like this… #jazz

Ok 2026, let’s go!! My first time doing the #rocksolidalbumaday2026 Phil Lynott & Grand Slam - The Live Document (UK Tour Broadcast 1984) #thinlizzy
