Tony's Top 5

Albums of all-time

5
Thriller, Michael Jackson. Love him or hate him, Michael Jackson had serious talent. Hard to exclude the No. 1-selling album of all-time.
4
Led Zeppelin IV. Stairway to Heaven. Misty Mountain Hop. When the Levee Breaks. Black Dog. That's serious stuff.
3
Back in Black, AC/DC. Maybe the greatest heavy metal album ever made. A 21-gun salute to Malcolm and Angus Young.
2
Joshua Tree, U2. Anyone who likes music should have this in their top 10. Hard to believe it was released more than 20 years ago.
1
Born to Run, Bruce Springsteen. The album that put The Boss on the cover of Time Magazine. If you buy one CD, make it this one.

Red Sox spring training story lines

5
Shortstop Apparently, it's reached the point where the Red Sox have to trade their shortstop to trim payroll. Anyone feel good about that?
4
Carl Crawford After a poor debut season in Boston, he had wrist surgery. And now we know the owner never wanted him.
3
The bullpen No small story here. Jonathan Papelbon is gone and Daniel Bard is in the rotation. Welcome, Mark Melancon and Andrew Bailey.
2
Bobby Valentine The last time the Red Sox changed managers, they won the World Series. Will history repeat?
1
Josh Beckett By the end of last season, Beckett seemed to lose his focus and his fire. Can he bounce back - and stay healthy, too?

"Embarrassment of riches" is a bit of an overstatement, Mazz, and will be until we're actually outspending the Yankee$ on a regular basis.
