Good compilation from one of the UK's premier Blues/Rock bands from the late '60s & early '70s.

Vocalist Paul Rodgers is one of the top UK vocalists in that genre, and the band are pretty sharp, too. Paul Kossoff was no mean guitarist either, but sadly succumbed to substance abuse at a young age.

This album demonstrates the band's huge versatility, and is a delight...

Not much to say about this beauty. My favorite Beatles album, and likewise with many of our members, as indicated in our poll thread. This is their 6th release, and of course #1 on both sides of the pond.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Michelle

Best Track - Girl

Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much
It makes you sorry
Still you don't regret a single day.
Ah girl
Girl

When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry;
And she promises the earth to me
And I believe her
After all this time I don't know why
Ah girl
Girl

She's the kind of girl who puts you down
When friends are there, you feel a fool.
When you say she's looking good
She acts as if it's understood.
She's cool, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Girl
Girl

Was she told when she was young that pain
Would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back to earn
His day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he's dead?
Ah girl
Girl

One of my favourties alsoCool
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!

It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown.

The legend before he was one. Album #3 of a long list. This one never even hit the charts, with 3 singles not cracking the top 50. A later release of this album included a version of Shilo that was a semi-hit, but that's not on mine. Closest thing to a hit was Brooklyn Roads which is also my favorite. Controversial at the time was The Pot Smokers Song. It is actually an anti-pot song, with some stupid chorus by Neil overlayed by spoken testimonials of how pot is a gateway drug. Cute, but I can testify the opposite. Personalities I guess.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - The Pot Smokers Song

Best Track - Brooklyn Roads

If I close my eyes
I can almost hear my mother
Callin, neil, go find your brother
Daddys home, and it's time for supper
Hurry on

And I see two boys
Racin up two flights of staircase
Squirmin into papas embrace
And his whiskers warm on their face
Wheres it gone
Oh, wheres it gone

Two floors above the butcher
First door on the right
Life filled to the brim
As I stood by my window
And looked out on those
Brooklyn roads

I can still recall
The smell of cookin in the hallways
Rubber drying in the doorways
And report cards I was always
Afraid to show

Mamad come to school
And as I'd sit there softly crying
Teacherd say, he's just not trying
Hes got a good head if he'd apply it
But you know yourself
Its always somewhere else

I built me a castle
With dragons and kings
And I'd ride off with them
As I stood by my window
And looked out on those
Brooklyn roads

Thought of going back
But all I'd see are strangers faces
And all the scars that love erases
But as my mind walks thru those places
Im wonderin
What's come of them

Does some other young boy
Come home to my room
Does he dream what I did
As he stands by my window
And looks out on those
Brooklyn roads

Rare outing for this masterpiece.

Whiney angst, but I love the sheer ambition of an album chronicling someone's (Waters') mental disintegration.

Even after all this time, and so many listens, this album still gives me the shivers...

After all these years, Marvin Lee Aday is still trying to make another Bat Out Of Hell, after 33 years, even though we've had two sequels. With that one selling 40 million copies, I don't think that will happen, but most of this was pretty good, with a couple border line great ones for me. No Jim Steinman for this 11th studio album for the meat man, but he does pick up Green Day producer Rob Cavallo. Some nice guest appearances by American Idol's Kara DioGuardi, House's Hugh Laurie, Jack Black, Steve Vai and Brian May.

Still working on the cd's to go with the vinyl. I can't help it. I know I've got 2 eyes, but why do I need 2 sets of lyrics. One in the booklet, one as a foldout. Could've used more album info rather than the lyrics in the booklet. Can't complain about the music though, well, other than those throw away tracks, especially that #9 crap. Not one of my favorite Beatle albums, but considering it's a double album, it'll do in a pinch.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Revolution #9

Best Track - Glass Onion

I told you about strawberry fields,
You know the place where nothing is real
Well here's another place you can go
Where everthing flows.
Looking through the bent backed tulips
To see how the other half lives
Looking through a glass onion.

I told you about the walrus and me-man
You know that we're as close as can be-man.
Well here's another clue for you all,
The walrus was Paul.
Standing on the cast iron shore-yeah,
Lady Madonna trying to make ends meet-yeah.
Looking through a glass onion.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.
Looking through a glass onion.

I told you about the fool on the hill,
I tell you man he living there still.
Well here's another place you can be,
Listen to me.

Fixing a hole in the ocean
Trying to make a dove-tail joint-yeah
Looking through a glass onion

A feast of Funked-up instrumental Rock with Hammond Organ featured heavily.

'60s Stax stalwart Booker T Jones teams up with Drive-By Truckers, and Neil Young to deliver a fabulous album with a total of five guitarists at its' disposal. Predominantly the tracks are originals, but there are a couple of covers.

The guitars sound mostly filthy, and the album has that "live, in the studio" sound that's so effective (don't know if that's how the album was recorded, though).

A cracker...

Instrumental album, so, not my thing, but gotta give the guy some kudos. He can play that thing. Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie guitarist, John William Lowery, out with his 6th solo album. Not playing an instrument, I realize I am not as appreciative of this art as I should be, but I would think players would love this one. Enjoy!
