QuoteDoxa In regard to SGT. PEPPER vs. SATANIC MAJESTIES issue, it is funny how history has treated those albums. There was a time when PEPPER was seen as the best album ever done, always making number one on whatever 'best albums ever' list. It was like a non-disputed fact of rock history. But nowadays the album, despite its historical significance recognized, is not seen even the b

Quotetreaclefingers Alright settle down with the insults, we're all just having a bit of fun. You can prefer TSMR to anything you want, and I personally love the little psychedelic side trip the band took. However broadly speaking there is no comparison with which is the better, musically and more culturally and historically significant album. And I for one don't even 'pre

QuoteBig Al That’s really good. Steve Marriott was such a ferocious talent, and, in my opinion, criminally overlooked. He had everything: the image, songwriting, guitar-playing prowess, and, a voice like no other. I’m not overly familiar with Humble Pie, but the Small Faces were superb. Agree (again!). I do have all the Humble Pie records too, but his songwriting was never quite as good after h

QuoteBig Al QuoteHis Majesty Fascinating stats re their debut LP. A lovely wee album so it is. Oh, it's fantastic. I love the cover-shot, too. No words necessary. Super cool cover. And probably the first LP to not feature the name of the artist on the cover front. This gamble paid off!

QuoteBig Al Am I alone in finding The Rolling Stones No.2 to be a little inferior to the U.K. debut? No, I agree. No.2 is very good but has its weak points. No. 1 is perfect from start to finish, with no dud tracks as you say. It is also the Stones' biggest success chartwise.

It was a little bit hidden over the years and was first released on the American "Flowers"-Album in 1967. In Europe first on a compilation, "Through the Past, darkly" in 1969. In most of Europe the "Flowers&q

Don't know if this has been mentioned before (can't read all those 53 pages!), but: I just got the double vinyl. Why did they not use the opportunity to add the long (6:34) version of Slave that was on the 1994 remaster ?

Although George Kooymans could be replaced I believe the Golden Earring "calling it quits" is the right decision. Their power has gone long ago. Replacing George Kooymans in GE would be like replacing Keith Richards in The Stones. I apologise, it was not my intention to hurt anyone's feeling

The Monkees were essentially Brill Building's answer to The Beatles. They had many great songs, of course, mainly written by Brill Building songwriters. The band members themselves wrote some good songs, but not so many. Perhaps this is the reason they are not in the R'n'R Hall Of Fame.

QuoteMarthijn Dutch band, The Golden Earring, 1961 till today True, but the first Golden Earrings record came in 1965. Do the years 13 and 15 year old George and Rinus were rehearsing in George's bedroom really count ? Love Golden Earring, though.

It's holding up really well. Do we have a latter-day classic on our hands? I feel that every time the Stones step outside their comfort zone, it's always sucessful.
