"After the musically and thematically ambitious The Band, Stage Fright is a much more modest and stripped back effort. The songs are much more personal, with the group telling their own stories rather than America’s stories; the title track is about Robertson’s struggle with stage fright in his ca..."  [+]  Reply

"Unlike The Beatles, The Rolling Stones started out by recording mostly cover songs. England's Newest Hitmakers is the US version of their debut, which was self titled in the UK. The differences are in the album cover, which in England had no text on the front, and the US version substitutes Buddy..."  [+]  Reply

"Pure excitement with lots of great, great songs. The album is much more then radio friendly dance pop. This thing got a shining world of music in it. But it's just too bad that apparently it's the only album of the band that I can really listen."  Reply

"Nothing truly bad here, but just far too many generic slow ballads. Tight A$ and Meat City are good rockers off the album and they help with the pacing. Bring on the Lucie (Freda People) isn't quite as good as those for me, but it's alright. One Day (At a Time) is probably the best song off the a..."  [+]  Reply

"Neil Young's Unplugged performance comes at a good time in his career when Harvest Moon was just released and he was performing with The Stray Gators. The first half of this show has Neil playing acoustically on his own and the band joins in for the back half. There's a good variety of tracks in ..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the greatest, and certainly the most underrated, prog albums of all time. The supergroup dream team of John Wetton, Bill Bruford, Eddie Jobson, and Allan Holdsworth, live up to, and possibly exceed, all expectations. Very moody, so not for everyone, but highly rewarding to those who can di..."  [+]  Reply
