"Best album by one of the greatest American rock bands. John Fogerty is also one of the great American songwriters as well (he was an absolute hit factory). He's also got one of the best rock voices as well. Any CCR album is good but get this one first!" Reply

"Superb album. Down by the River has to be my favourite, that said the title track, Cowgirl in the Sand and Cinnamon Girl are excellent. Chilled out rock." Reply

"Underrated in comparison to their other albums? Certainly seems that way. And why? Well, this is possibly due to its length. When I first heard this album, I of course recognized its brilliance. However, it's length, and its apparent lack of flow, did manage to seep in at times, ultimately overth..." Reply

"This is the perfect example of what this band can do at the top of their game. Keidis brings a variety of styles of singing from Under the Bridge to Apache Rose Peacock, with lyrics ranging from the deeply philosophical and meaningful 'Breaking the Girl' to the downright vulgar and immature (stil..."

"I compare Arctic Monkeys to a cute, funny, (maybe a trouble making) kid, who then grew into an ugly, awkward teen. This album is Arctic Monkeys emergence from the awkward phase, and into a good looking adult. My favorite album of theirs is still "Whatever people..." I like "Favourite..." a little..." Reply

"Horribly underrated, probably because its more folky and less "Zep-y" than their other albums. But if you set aside expectations of what you thing Zeppelin *should* sound like, you may find this to be a real gem. It remains by personal fave. The best song is the completely ignored album cut "Out ..." Reply

"After a long absence following Human After All, Daft Punk returned with Random Access Memories, and it did not disappoint. Their best work since the incredible Discovery, Random Access Memories, saw Daft Punk shying away from the harder sound of Human After All for more disco and funk sounds to c..." Reply

"I remember I disliked "Rehab" when it first became ubiqitious on the radio and kind of just ignored her for a while. I listened to the album a few years later and all I needed to hear was "You Know I'm No Good" and there it was: I just instantly thought, hearing the song at the moment and time, s..." Reply
