This is awful.
Its very much of its time. Was B-List back then and now also very dated

Did not enjoy
Never heard of them but knew a couple songs. Wouldn't listen again. 1/5
No, gracias
Good performances by talented musicians of songs I do not want to listen to again
This trout fishing for bland Americana sound is what people who like Kerouac ramblings listen to. Stand out songs Spinning Wheel and You Made Me So Very Happy can be enjoyed by older woman who will claim Pierre Trudeau once gave them a rose. And tell their teenage sons cooler friend they had a crush on Jim Morrison. Despite not having heard about The Doors until after Jim Morrison was dead. ⭐️
I really can't be doing with jazz fusion.

Not a huge fan. Im just not a big jazz guy. But does sample some interesting music. Blues pt2 samples cream’s sunshine of your love Also samples throughout: First Gymnopédie
its sounds like parody music, it just makes me think of Vic Reeves singing in a club style. i would expect to see Brian Potter getting Jerry to sing some of these.
RIP Michael Parkinson. Bet he loved this.
Oh lordy that was painful. Shortly after (quite bad experimental track) "Blues Pt 2 " I had to stop..classical attempts are notable for the hellish amateurism. This albums reassures me of my recent conclusions about this list. It's definitely not about the 1001 ***best*** albums. Some parts of the album are so bad they taint the okay parts. Definitely doesn't work for me. I'm starting to think think this list was put together by someone with very wide ranging and obscure tastes which seems to excessively and detrimentally favour uniqueness, curiosity factor or obscurity of the material (perhaps with an exhaustively éducative goal?) over enjoyability or objective quality. The quality/ enjoyment of the last 20 albums has been very inconsistent.
Well death freaks here's an interesting question: who spawned whom, BST or Chicago? Who came up with this model, with the horns and all the pseudo jazz shit? So if you are going to listen to this album before you get the intravenous drip ready, just be prepared for a very strange experience. The covers are odd. From Traffic to Brenda Holloway and everything in between. Was Laura Nyro a four old playmate of Jackson Browne? How was it that he was writing These Days as a toddler while Laura penned And When I Die? With both Laura's tune and Brenda's You Made Me so Very Happy, go and listen to the originals and you won't need this. The best track is the one of two originals, Spinning, David Clayton Thomas's finest moment, and the template for The Commitments. That's it really, it has aged badly...and I mean badly. Not worth wasting that illicit horse your family went and scored for you before you drop off the perch. Put A Hard Day's Night on instead...
Not my taste in music was just kinda there reminds me of a wedding I went too
I thought it was going to break into Jesus Christ Superstar at every moment. Musical
This type of jazz rock is really not my thing. Not a fan of this album, it just feels very dated and cheesy. I was real surprised to see that the album won the Grammy for Album of the Year and went quadruple platinum. It's telling to me that this album was so successful at the time but was never recommended by anyone when I was growing up as a big music fan, especially compared to lots of other classic rock that maybe didn't have this same mainstream success. I've definitely heard some of these songs in pop culture but would never come back to listen to this album. Constant decisions that just don't work for me. Standout Tracks: N/A
A few decent moments, but mostly just silly, badly-done genre mashing
No good
Não funcionou para mim a fusão da psicodelia baseada no progressivo com o jazz. Sou como forçado especialmente o uso dos metais e algo que parecia improvisação forçada.
