"Jack Bruce has never got the recognition he deserves in rock history! The bassplayer from Cream had classical background,a stylist on bass, but a multiinstrumentalist as well. His albumdebut on his own beat all the Cream music by miles, setting a new standard touching jazz, blues, ballads and roc..." [+] Reply
"I realize Beefheart himself wasn't a fan, because of the production, but the album itself is great. The final product is what it is. I prefer it to the exhausting Mirror Man sessions which overcompensated for this release." Reply
"Great debut album by what has to be the most underrated punk band ever." Reply
"I think the great thing about this album is the way they captured a specific global sentiment of what Hispanic/Latino culture had in common. It is in a way a concept album." Reply
"This album is absolutely amazing. I discovered it by accident while searching “Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson” on Apple Music, and the song Michael Jackson from this album came up. I love experimental music and this album is pure madness. I think it deserves a higher ranking though I understand..." [+] Reply
"Another fine Best Of. Their earlier albums aren'ttrong, and not always easy to find. Much better than the Greatest Hits that came out later...this one has most of the Guess Who you'll ever need. And Burton Cummings has a GREAT rock & roll voice!" Reply

The music is buoyant, sparkly, rhythmic and bright and c..." [+] Reply

"Maybe not the "return to form" I was sort of hoping for, but Neil Young's return to Crazy Horse after a 7 year absence still has its moments. I prefer the glimpses at the Crazy Horse of old over the more mellow tracks, with the exception of Green is Blue which is one of the more impressive songs...." [+] Reply
"This is it folks!..The one-place stop for all-good James Brown quickness! No other compilation is as good for the price and it's got all the early hits. Everything is great by this artist but when you want brevity this is where to go! Live at the Apollo is his absolute best work but that's just f..." [+] Reply
"Few could have imagined that Quo would one day become one of England's most long-lived rock bands when they released their debut. Nor is the music close to the genre they would be known for. However, the album contains some interesting songs such as Technicolor Dreams and Ice in the Sun. Pictures..." [+] Reply
