"Yes it's Chicago. Fortunately not quite that Chicago. This is an absolutely underrated record, a stunning album, a psychedelic soul rock masterpiece. Originally a double album it really captures that late sixties atmosphere, with stunning songs such as, beginnings, listen, and, I'm a man. This al..." [+] Reply

"Another enjoyable Creedence Clearwater Revival record. Bayou country, isn't as brilliant as, green river, but it's yet another great rock'n'roll LP from one of America's great rock'n'roll bands. Proud Mary, is a classic song, as is the title track. Not their best then, but still good." Reply

"Gram Parsons' greatest achievement. This album contains the best songwriting in country rock, with Hillman often being overlooked for his songwriting contributions here. They also had the greatest pedal steel player ever commited to tape in Sneaky Pete Kleinow" Reply

"The one & only album from a "supergroup" ~ Clapton, Winwood, Baker & Grech. I played the album quite a few times in the early 70's and, for its time, it was up there with the best. There is no 'filler' - each track has merit; and it plays an important part in the history of UK music (& the music ..." [+] Reply

"Arguably Elvis Presley's finest album. After he said goodbye to Hollywood and with the success of his '68 comeback special, Presley was ready to take his music a bit more seriously. Presley's voice is grittier here, more ragged, and, yes, more passionate for probably the first time in years. Ther..." [+] Reply

"From the first few seconds, the jazz influence can be heard through the melody of "Strange Feelin'" which is lifted from Miles Davis' "All Blues". The jazz tendencies continue throughout the album and make for a great departure from his previously folk-inflected albums. Not only does the musical ..." [+] Reply

"This was a bit of a train wreck for example Tell All the People. I recommend Touch Me and The Soft Parade nothing else is too memorable but it's not awful just not up to their standard." Reply

"Their first 3 albums (Stand Up, This Was & Benefit) share a hard blues feel that would be seriously dampened after their big hit Aqualung. If you like the heavier/blues side of Tull go towards these earlier albums; if you like their folksier/prog side, the '70s albums starting with TAAB are for y..." [+] Reply

"Sandy Denny is, in my opinion, the greatest female singer / songwriter Britain has ever produced, though, if you think about it, the competition list is quite short. 'Who Knows Where the time Goes' is on this, so that would be reason enough by itself to include this album, but it also includes tw..." [+] Reply
