Keno’s Classic Rock Album Reviews

Keno:

Classic Rock Album Reviews

Information here is sparse. There’s no indication on the website (Keno.org) who Keno is and what his/her credentials are. The list I’ve posted here (in alphabetical order by act, then chronological order) are for the 160+ classic rock albums which have been reviewed on the site. There’s no indication when these reviews were written, but based on the primitive nature of the website, it looks like these most of these go back to the early 2000s. However, there is a review for the Rolling Stones’ Hackney Diamonds, which was released in 2023.
