"If we're trying to be objective, there is no such thing as the greatest album of all time. Something as abstract and subjective as music cannot be narrowed down to one absolute best. Consider that even if you took a poll with the entire world, maybe the top album would be something by Imagine Dra..."  [+]  Reply

"Listen carefully to how this album progresses from the light tones at the start to the unbelievable darkness of its finale. No other album has managed to achieve a total change in tone and sound without sounding completely different - except this one. It's both a psychedelic masterpiece, but also..."  [+]  Reply

"Now, this is a fuckin' Power Trio! My god, they're great! Mitch Mitchell is a fuckin' beast on drums! I can't notice Noel Redding cause he is completely locked and fused with the rest. And Hendrix... sounds like he is taming a fuckin' lion. Also sometimes people forget that he was an awesome voca..."  [+]  Reply

"Before The Doors hit, Love was THE band to see in Hollywood in the 60's. Forever Changes is their 3rd album, and the band was so strung out that the album was mostly played by session musicians and Arthur Lee. It's a classic. They take a more acoustic approach than on previous albums,and the resu..."  [+]  Reply

"Decades ago, it was crystal clear that Bob Dylan will stand high above all other songwriters in the eyes of popular opinion. Dylan's prolific career is one of undeniable greatness. But there's another songwriter that deserves the same sort of recognition. Leonard Cohen's debut is a stunning maste..."  [+]  Reply

"Pink Floyd's first two albums epitomised the British psychedelic scene of the late 1960s. Their debut, 'Piper At The Gates Of Dawn' (1967) merged the three strands of US psychedelia - the eccentric melody of Jefferson Airplane's 'White Rabbit', the improvised jam of the Velvet Underground and the..."  [+]  Reply

"I used to hear this the way other commenters say: great, but a little uneven and not as good as Electric Ladyland. But it has soaked in on me over the years. Now, there's not a single microsecond of this album that I don't absolutely love, and I now think it's the Hendrix album where the voodoo r..."  [+]  Reply

"great album!! maybe less masterpieces with respect to "The Doors" but I think "Strange Days" is more complete and all the songs are very good. When the music's over is something fantastic!"  Reply
