This, Let it Bleed, and The Singles Col..." [+] Reply

"One of the essential guitar records of all time, packed to the brim with hard rock, blues, and prog in germinal form. It's crazy to me how underrated and forgotten Wishbone Ash has become when you can put an album like this on and enjoy every second of it. Let's get these guys some more recogniti..." [+] Reply

"This is one of my favourite albums. I can get completely lost in it. My favourites are "The Great Disappointment" and "...But Home is Nowhere." "Synesthesia" and "Now The World" whilst good tracks, for me, don't really fit in the album. They are more like the songs that play in the credits once t..." [+] Reply

"Takes every one of the trashiest trends of the past decade of pop music, piles them on top of each other, turns them up to 11, douses them in an excessive dose of irony, post-irony, post-post-irony, and etc., and single-handedly absolves the sins of every one of them." Reply
