Those two albums are much lauded. They're great, innovative rock albums (I'll leave it to everyone else whether to call them classic). Hendrix overall is widely acknowledged nowadays as a great rock guitarist and songwriter (not just for that era but, like, forever). You can research it (as is clear from the responses to your initial post), but I don't think the 'Peppe

I see the Pats somehow overcoming Steeler's defense and physicality (they'd done it before). At Foxboro...so we'll see whatever advantage that might be. Green Bay vs. Atlanta harder to say who will win. Both are coming off hard fought, big wins. Green Bay won in incredible fashion, in Dallas....so there's a heroic magic going with them. But Atlanta looks like a Super Bowl

I have to be in the right mood to listen to any of the Bill Joel albums (the earlier ones). I have my own favorites apart from the ones on this list. Of course, I have strong memories of when 'Piano Man' came out many if not most of my long island friends loved it (and him). His music fit that time period, I guess.

Upon reflection perhaps it's better to consider 1966-1967 (or early 1966 to mid-1967) as a recording and cultural year/era (when considering the 'most interesting year in rock history'). There were many pop/rock groups already recording and producing works in early 1966 that were similar to or on the level of the recordings that they would go on to release in 1967. There are som

Is Hotchkiss's book 'Blown Away' comparable to the Aftel book? I'd read Hothkiss's and Charone's books, the Greenfield/Rolling Stone early 70s Keith Richard's interview, and finally the Stanley Booth book. Thus my view of Brian Jones was formed. So I'm wondering if this book by Mandy Aftel book can change perceptions of Brian Jones in any way.

Yes it was an interesting year for 'pop rock' music or whatever you want to call it. (what with Sgt. Pepper, Hendrix, Simon and Garfunkel, Zappa, the Stones, the Doors, Jefferson Airplane, the Moody Blues, even the Who, plus a lot of great pop singles).

Well, this may come as shocker to some posters here on the IORR blog...but the The Rolling Stones are my second 'favourite' band of all time. My first favorite is The Beatles.

There's got to be hundreds of possibilities if you're thinking as a Christmas gift. If Dalton's The First 20 Years is available, that would be my suggestion. It combines coffee table style with some legit snippets of contemporary commentary, interviews and reviews. Plus, the format (as I remember it) is cool and the photos and images too.

I hate those lists...always should be a matter of taste or in particular if you're going to publish a 'best album' list get a general consensus survey of many critics, musicians and fans. Also, 'worst to best' is pointless. Just acknowledge good, great and 'not their best.'
