John Lennon, ‘Mind Games: The Ultimate Collection': Album Review
Mind Games was meant to be a return to form for John Lennon, after an instantly dated protest album that felt didactic and cold. He certainly seemed to be back on track with its opening Top 20 hit title song. But the rest of Mind Games could be a strangely ruminative and often mid-tempo, with a shaggy studio approach. Mind Games: The Ultimate Collection makes it clear who fans should blame: The producer.

Top 15 ’90s Aerosmith Songs
If you didn't like Aerosmith's '80s catalog, there's a good chance you hated their '90s output. After achieving a miraculous comeback with 1987's Permanent Vacation, the newly sober rockers were eager to keep the good times rolling. They continued riding high with 1989's Pump and 1993's Get a Grip, the latter becoming their first No. 1 album in the United States. They returned after another four-year gap with Nine Lives, which underperformed its predecessors but still sold a respectable 2 million copies. In hindsight, it was just a warmup for their first and only chart-topping single, the divisive "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing."

We are willing to support or agree with various ideas or opinions but we have to draw the line at accepting the meal that has been recently declared the best in the state. The website Mashed recently had the daunting (sarcasm) task of finding the best meal that each state in the U.S. has to offer. First off, I don't think it's actually possible to do this as opinions and taste buds vary so much. However, they managed to put together a list of what they believed were the best meals from each state.
