"This is such an underrated album. Sure, it didn’t break the mold like Sgt Peppers or Are You Experienced, but it combined the best parts of those kind of musical revolutions at the time and perfected it. So what if the concept doesn’t hold up, the music still does. Steve Marriott is also the best..." [+] Reply

"An absolutely stunning record. Eli, is constantly overlooked and underrated, it is simply one of the greatest albums ever. Fusing pop, jazz, folk, and, soul, Nyro creates something wholly original and continually uplifting. Every song is a mini masterpiece, including, sweet soul picnic, and my fa..." [+] Reply

"First the album grabs you, with 'Ride My See-Saw', then it intrigues you with 'House of Four Doors' and 'Legend of a Mind', then it blows your mind with 'Best Way to Travel' and 'Visions of Paradise'. Finally, it brings it all together with 'The Word' and 'Om'. The 1967-1972 Moody Blues (as oppos..." [+] Reply

"One of the most disorienting albums I've ever heard. Silver Apples' debut is a genuine psychedelic experience. It was far ahead of its time and remains fresh today." Reply

"This a great blues rock record that sounds amazingly like led zeppelin would a few years later. Rod Stewart's vocals are uncannily like Robert Plant at times and Beck's wonderful guitar playing is just as good as Jimmy Page. There are some odd choices of songs, like ol man river but they work ver..." [+] Reply

"This is an escapist album filled with magic and intrigue from start to finish. If you want to be take to a surrealistic dark forest with witches and amoebas this is a good place to start. It can take a while to get used to, but with an open mind could easily become your favourite. "May the long t..." [+] Reply

"Sitting on the Dock of the Bay has to be one of the all-time great tracks for empathy. You can really imagine the lack of direction, sense of loss, and searching for hope. You can see yourself sitting there with him watching time roll away. What a craftsman with his voice." Reply
