"One of, if not the best Creedence Clearwater Revival. Green river, is a fantastic record of good old honest rock'n'roll. It features possibly CCR best set of songs, featuring, amongst others, sinister purpose, Lodi, and the timeless, bad moon rising. This is rock'n'roll with heart and soul." Reply

"None of the songs are bad at all. As a matter of fact, on its own merit this is a very very good album. The problem is that I just heard this album last year and back in 2008 also. You could put all the tracks from El Camino, Brothers, and Attack & Release in one playlist, hit random, and have th..." [+] Reply

"A true classic of the hard rock era. Not a whole lot of depth here, but plenty of not so clean, good fun." Reply

"My favorite PG album without doubt. Fair enough to those who prefer So but PGIII is much more my style, reminiscent of contemporaries like Talking Heads but you're never going to mistake Peter Gabriel for anyone else, and this album has his mark all over it. Intruder opens things in what can only..." [+] Reply

"Call out to non-Dylan fans: If you didn't care much for "Highway 61" or "Blonde on Blonde", be sure to check out this album before you pass up the rest of his discography completely. A totally different sound, both in terms of instrumentation (violin, accordion, mandolin and female background voc..." [+] Reply

"An album that grows on you. I've never really understood why RHCP has felt it necessary to "funkify" their sound for so long - or rather, at all. To me it's always felt out-of-place'ish, more or less forced, not to mention, unnecessary. I appreciate the band's drive, good humor, openness and all ..." [+] Reply

"On the 7th of February 2006, after around 4 months of label disputes J Dilla's 'Donuts' was finally released. 3 days later he was dead. Donuts is so much more than just a beat tape, it's the final swan-song of a dying man who felt that in his final moments he had to push himself into making somet..." [+] Reply

"Oh Marty Friedman... why did you have to leave the world of metal? Tornado of Souls has one of my favorite guitar solos ever. This is technically speaking, Megadeth's best album. Holy Wars and Hanger 18 are immortal tracks." Reply
