"This is the best Otis Redding album I've heard personally. Though I like "Otis Blue", this one is just better in my opinion track-for-track. The unbelievably spectacular opening track almost overshadows the rest of the album with its sheer power and attention it commands, but especially on repeat..." [+] Reply

"Warm, open-hearted, and playful...I don't know if Rahsaan was like that, but he must have been; his music is. It's imaginative and care-free, not avant-garde or cutting edge. Feel-good music from a guy who can pull that off; it's a shame so many people can't get into it, judging by the ratings, b..." [+] Reply
"Mmmh. It's a pretty good album, I don't deny it. It's nothing to be really excited about, though. Just nice rock 'n' roll in The Animals' style. What is really interesting here is to discover Morrison's early style, which has nothing to do with his much more soulful solo career. His voice is clos..." [+] Reply

"You can hear the beginnings of later Stones in What a Shame. Heart of Stone is a favorite. Down The Road Apiece shows how amazing Keith was even early on. Some of the best guitar playing I've heard that early... almost beats out Chuck Berry." Reply

"Released originally in 1965, this album featured eleven tracks by the smooth singing Brazilian; the Verve Record Label supplemented the original album with 14 more Astrud Gilberto sung tunes in 1990 and released the new offering in the Verve The Silver Collection, maintaining the original album n..."

"The Lovin' Spoonful consistently churns out catchy tunes, blending influences of rock, pop and folk in a fairly cohesive way. The title track is the album's highlight, but there are a fair amount of other great tracks to speak of including 'My Gal', 'Fishin Blues' and 'Did You Ever Have to Make U..." [+] Reply

"Least collectable because almost every household in the US had a copy. The cover is admittedly provocative but the record itself is good clean fun. Mr. Alpert was a brilliant pop arranger and not a bad trumpet player. I love playing this disc in the car on a nice summer day, it just seems to fit." Reply
