Lennon and McCartney only 21-22 years old (Harrison even younger!) when they recorded this - amazing really. The covers are mostly impressive (some a bit too m.o.r., but reflective of the music scene at the time), but the originals shine. Unbelievable talent at such young ages. I think theyre taken for granted these days - some people forget what they brought to music some 60 years ago. Bravo.

Whoosh.....that's the sound of this music going right over my head. I just don't "get" it. It sounds impressive and he's obviously a very talented musician, but it just doesn't move or involve me in any way. I'm sure that it's me - not him!

Damon can write a good pop tune, but his voice can be a tad wearingover the course of a whole album.

it's taken me almost 30 years to get around to listening to this. I'm a fool....should have listened sooner - great album, and thats after 1 x listen!

If you've got Dummy, you're sorted.

An album to take you back in time. Pretty much a classic. The band should have been given an Iggy Pop and the......whatever they wanted to call themselves credit though. Theyre as much a part of it's success as Iggy.

Something new, yet a reminder of the past. Lovely.

A perfect pop album!

Superb album. All Sault albums are worth having!

A classic.

Garage classic!

Can this be given 6 x stars?

One of his finest

Gotta love that Chic sound!

Gotta love that Chic sound!

Unbelievably overrated.

all time classic!

An easy 4 stars!

Groove Is In The Heart is a stone cold classic - everyone knows that! The rest of the lp is not quite that standard, but thats forgiven as nothing could really top G.I.I.T.H.

Dare I say it....but OTT production?

listening to it for the first time in years....holy s@*t - I forgot how great it is! Just pure loud live guitar - superb.

great sound and very much of it's time.

one of the greatest albums ever. And I keep buying it in any new re-issue/re-master/box set hoping that their will be even more to discover. Can't be praised highly enough!

Had a listen to it for the time in ages. Still an outstanding album, but verging on being " very of its time". Nonetheless, not a poor track on it! And a coincidence it appeared today? I think not!

so many great tunes. This was a big risk releasing this many songs on one album. Carries it off with great aplomb.

Probably the most commercial album that Tim made. You can imagine Jeff singing some of these songs. This is a good way in to discovering Tim. Work your way backwards from here!

One to play loud! Tunes galore. They never really bettered this, but what a debut.

I can hear the quality, but it doesn't do it for me.

From Wiki - "Some reviewers were less enthusiastic. Jon Tiven from Circus argued that there was a lack of memorable material on the album: "Just when Stevie had some momentum going, he went and put together a concept album of homogeneous music and rather typical lyrics. Unlike his last two albums, there are no real low spots on this album, which I suppose is an improvement, but there are no songs on Innervisions which are truly outstanding either. There's no 'Superstition,' no 'I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever).' By constructing a solid ground from which to work, Stevie has lowered the ceiling, and put a damper on his talents." No truly oustanding songs? Bet Jon feels silly now. Stevie was 22-23yo when he made this - astonishing!

It does not get much better than this! A 5 star album any day of the week. I saw Tom and the Heartbreakers supporting Nils Lofgren when this album came out. Nils was great, but impossible to follow Tom!

Stone cold classic. And yet I still rate Station to Station, and yes, Young Americans even better!

This didn't get enough recognition at the time. A fantastict album, you could just sense the talent and knew that she was destined for great things.

T

Classic Waits. And you won't find many better Side 1's than this. Amazing how Tom re-invented himself. A rare and very special talent.

What an album! Takes me back to 74 when I played this to death. Saw them on tour at the time too, supported by Pilot. Not played it for awhile, but this will be remedied immediately!

The Rascals - 2 x great vocalists/songwriters, fantastic drummer, and excellent guitarist- what a band! This album is great, but somewhat hampered by strange production on a few songs. That said, listen to the perfection of Eddies vocal on How Can I Be Sure. And theres no more that can be said about Groovin' that hasn't been said before - one of the greatest songs ever. I don't want to say that the Rascals are underrated - because those that know - know how talented they are. I just wish that they were included more often in any list of the best bands/albums of the 60's.

This is what a 5 star album sounds like. I so wish that Lou had recorded more with Ronson/Bowie. Timeless record. An old school album that you play from start to finish.

My most fave Aerosmith album - the right balance of rock and melody!

Somewhat overrated in the best album of all time lists that appear all too frequently these days. Catchy (and quite often familiar!) tunes let down by shockingly poor lyrics.
