The Band album is not really very good at all. It's a collection of outtakes, mostly...a contractual obligation album that allowed The Last Waltz to be released on their new label. The most notable thing about it is that it's the last studio release by them with Robbie Robertson and Richard Manuel.

My take? Don't waste your time on this. It's nowhere near what they had done just a few years prior.

All I can say is, don't even try to get into the rabbit-hole of rappers who call themselves "A-Plus" โ€”ย it's the most confusing thing you can imagine.

The album mentioned above was recorded by (arguably) the most well-known of them, though. That one even has a Wikipedia page.

Thanks for the heads up. Not going to waste my time with this band album. I haven't played the King Crimson album in a long time but recall that it's not bad at all.

So much conversation going on in this thread. Loving the engagement

Dark Side Of The Moon (1972) by Medicine Head

I'm sure there is another album with the same title but I just can't think of it right now ๐Ÿงฑ
