"The one & only album from a "supergroup" ~ Clapton, Winwood, Baker & Grech. I played the album quite a few times in the early 70's and, for its time, it was up there with the best. There is no 'filler' - each track has merit; and it plays an important part in the history of UK music (& the music ..." [+] Reply

"After half of a year trying to find the best way to describe this album i think I've finally decided. Maturity. Isbell as come so far from his days with DBT that he truly has become a force of nature in the Country genre with this album. My hope is that will it grow in our little BEA community, a..." [+] Reply

"Very much the most underrated Springsteen album. This was a mature answer to all the success of BitUSA, a reckoning of the price of too much fame with some of the most introspective, personal tracks he's written, like Walk Like a Man, Two Faces and Brilliant Disguise. Spare Parts and Cautious Man..." [+] Reply

"This is an easy album to not take seriously, partially thanks to the videos. But george michael was a very good singer-songwriter, who shows it not just on "father figure" and "one more try", but also lesser known songs like the desperate urgency of "hand to mouth" and the beautifully-plaintive p..."

"Sting is excellent for his voice and his message. Consistently reflective and sometimes haunting he makes interesting music. I prefer the debut and Ten Summoners Tales over this, but I rank Nothing Like the Sun 3rd or 4th in his Catalogue Fragile is a fantastic song. Englishman in New York is a f..." [+] Reply

"One of the best albums of the 2000's, Modest Mouse puts out their third classic in a row. The most common criticism for this album is that no track really stand out, but I beg to differ. This album contains two of the greatest songs MM ever recorded, The Parting of the Sensory and Missed the Boat..." [+] Reply

"This is where metal was born. You have to thank these guys for Led Zep, Black Sabbath, AC/DC. Listen to Clapton's version of SPOONFUL. They broke away from the standard that was introduced by the Beatles, and emulated by so many in the British Invasion of the 60's" Reply

"The follow up and a kind of companion album to, Parklife, is another cracking LP. It hasn't quite got the bite and edge of it's predecessor, but there are some fine songs and many more quirky characters to meet. Best days, is absolutely beautiful, as is, yuko and hiro, and off course, the univers..." [+] Reply
