"This album is one my top 100 albums you can check out here. I think the Stranglers were the first punk band we heard of in Belgium, not because we heard the music but because there were a lot of scandal press messages that songs of the Stranglers were banned from the BBC, of course with "Peaches"..."

"You know, I've probably heard Stayin Alive a thousand times in my life but the funny thing about that song is that it actually rocks. Jive Talkin, You Should Be Dancing, Night Fever... there was a reason this was so huge: because it really was quite good." Reply

"A really unique-sounding album, even for Jethro Tull. The traditional English folk approach blends surprisingly effectively with Tull's hard rock ethos. It sounds like the soundtrack to the nerdiest game of Dungeons and Dragons ever conceived. Recommended. Even if you don't love it (and I'm not e..." [+] Reply

"Styx was the "gateway drug" that got me into classic rock. Sure, they were poppy and heck, and, in retrospect, not that good; But that's what got me to latch onto the genre. I've always considered this to be their best album, and after all these years, "Miss America" is still a masterpiece." Reply

"Running on Empty is probably Jackson Browne's most universal album. Its a rare live album of new material and many of the songs focus on life on the road. Some of the songs are even cleverly recorded in hotel rooms and the tour bus and that only adds to the appeal. The title track remains a stapl..." [+] Reply

"Is there anything more beautiful in this world than a woman's voice? If we agree then this album is a grand exposition of female vocalising on a level that can enchant even the most skeptical listener. With Eagle Agnetha and Frida arrive from the heavens it seems bearing tidings of profound optim..." [+] Reply

"A pretty solid album. The only real fault with it is the order of the songs. The opening 3 tracks are all so dynamite that everything that comes after seems a bit anti-climatic. I think opening with The Core, and THEN cocaine (with Lay Down Sally somewhere in the middle) would give the album a co..." [+] Reply

"Superb album from a great wordsmith. I think it needs to be listened to/rated by an English audience as some of the language would not mean anything to others. Such a tight band delivering a great selection. Blockheads is a favourite of mine and is normally their encore number. Norman Watt=Roy ha..." [+] Reply
