Harvest gets more attention, because it has the #1 hit on it (still pretty shocking that Heart of Gold hit the top). This record is more consistent, and has no weak spots.

The underrated record in the first four. They really let their acoustic, earthy side show on this one, setting the stage for IV.

The Kinks were nearing the end of one of the best album runs ever with Lola. This record was able to make fun of the industry and also score a huge hit single within that same industry. Davies is underappreciated as a songwriter.

The best thing Clapton has ever done. It's appropriate that they didn't make another one.

The Doors recovered from the Soft Parade backlash, to make a more traditional, blues-based record.
