This is a top 1001 album of all time? Wow. Toys in the Attic, maybe, but this, nope. Without Run DMC and MTV, we may never have had to listen to this. Janie's Got a Gun gets it to two stars, even though it was played relentlessly on MTV and elsewhere, it's not bad.

Third song should have been titled “Doctor Please … make this song stop”. I know it was early metal, but man these guys were clearly not good song writers. Summertime Blues cover is a classic though.

Close To The Edge
Yes
One of the things I am noticing about this list is that it seems to pick the most commercially successful album of a group, which, in my opinion, is often not a band's best work. Eliminator by ZZ Top is a good example and so is this. No one listened to this, at least no one who would admit it. It was the first two albums with, Yours is no Disgrace, I've Seen All Good People, Roundabout, etc. The first 2 Yes albums are enough. Tres Hombres is enough for ZZ Top.
