A quiet tone exists on this recording. Let It Grow is the standout song on this recording and a few others have ear catching moments as well. However, the lack of enough rock n roll tunes here make this … more
If you are looking for a modern recording of old blues standards, look no further. Eric Clapton covers sixteen old time blues numbers and adds a special flair that is pure magic. Many of the solos are … more

This is the perfect example of a mediocre album. I bought this record(not cd)many years ago used when I was in high school. I liked the album oriented tracks, Love Alive, Barracuda, Little Queen, and … more

Critics and close minded people lambast this album. However, the material is really pretty good. It just has a Country twang to it. On this disc, John Fogerty shared the singing and song-writing responsibilites … more
One of the premiere albums from my growing up period of the 1970's. Never has such acrimony produced such a top selling album. This goes to show you that music written from the heart will always have … more
A masterpiece from Zappa, his use of the Synclavier Music Computer is simply brilliant, this is one of the most interesting electronic music of the 20th century. The album is full of interesting harmonies … more

Billy's new wave influence shines through on this disc. Many of these songs(Sometimes A Fantasy, Closer To The Borderline, You May Be Right) are guitar driven. Other pieces have Billy's trademark piano … more
One of the best recordings by truly one of the best bands. Its a crying shame that the commercial world has not gotten sufficient exposure to Little Feat. And this live album is a real treat. The playing … more
Here's your proof that New Zealand isn't completely stuffed full of dullards. These guys must have been nineteen and straight out of ther suburban Auckland High School when they put they put this fabulously … more

Whereas this recording is not Traffic's best work, it is very unique with the blending of many different flute, sitar, harp, organ, and more. Not to forget the superb Guitar work by David Mason. The song … more
Give me my choice of 15 recordings while I am stranded on an island and this is one of the first 7. A heavy influence of Country Music is apparent and boy does it sound good. Migration is my personal … more
Definitely an album that you want to be stranded with on a desert island. Not as commercial as some of the Stones other releases except maybe for Tumbling Dice. The Stones explore new styles and perform … more

October 09, 1998
This record is extremely overrated. First of all, at least five songs are written in the same key and have similar rhythms. Second, the singles Miss You and Beast Of Burden are cheesy pop/disco oriented … more

Avoid this album at all costs. Out of twelve songs only two or three even stand out a little. This album epitomizes what was wrong with the late 1980's music scene. The overall production of this disc … more

October 08, 1998
Six songs including one which badly overstays its welcome do not make a classic album. However, Presence Of The Lord is one classic piece with one of the best guitar solos of Eric Clapton's career. Can't … more

The second album by Creedence Clearwater Revival definitely opened the eyes of the music world to this fine band. John Fogerty's song-writing abilities took a big leap forward with such classic as Proud … more
Whereas Bridges To Babylon is not on the same playing field as Beggars Banquet and Exile, this recording has much high quality material. Besides catchy straight ahead rockers(Out Of Control, Two Tight), … more

Fortunately I borrowed this record from my local library as opposed to buying it. Other than Change In The Weather and the title track, this album is a NUCLEAR DISASTER! The remaining tracks are complete … more
The Rolling Stones take an interesting foray into the world of Psychedelia and for the most part it is indeed very good. What brings this album down is the extended Sings This All Together piece and Gomper. … more

Definitely this band's best record. Even though their style is limited, the seven songs on this disc are excellent. Lazy is one of the major highlights with the searing spooky organ effects and the eventual … more
If you want a quick smattering of this all time great band, grab this record at once! Almost all of these songs are true classics. I started with this one and was so impressed that I collected all their … more

Whereas Turnstiles was not the studio smash that The Stranger was, it definitely is loaded with excellent music. Of the eight songs I have to admit that every single one is excellent. On top of that the … more
Little Feat truly returns nearly to the form of the Lowell George era with this fine collection. The band returns to its blues roots with many fine tunes such as Romance Without Finance, Caddilac Hotel, … more
Another Ticket is without a doubt Eric Clapton's best solo efforts. This collection consists of many strong blues and rock n roll songs with Eric's guitar at center stage. In addition, Eric's songwriting … more
This is a great CD. When living near the American Naval Base in Exmouth, Western Australia many years ago, my husband heard "The Shopping Cart of Love" and this led me to track down the album (no mean … more
