I completely agree with Lewis: it is by handling a material different from their own that a group demonstrates its greatness, just like the Beatles would soon do with the White Album. To put it bluntly, this record is superior to "Sgt. Pepper," an album that had only two absolute masterpieces like "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "A Day in the Life" (since, of course, "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "I Am the Walrus" had just been released as singles). The rest of the album was a somewhat lackluster and even verbose psychedelic pop (like in "She's Leaving Home"). The true psychedelic masterpiece of the Beatles is "Revolver," now that is a perfect album and definitely superior to "their satanic...."

I love all the California psychedelia; I think it's a diamond with different facets. Crosby, and especially Young, were its poets. Certainly not the most gifted musicians, but the ones who best captured the spirit of that era.

Can you imagine a group more "American" than Creedence?

very nice the description of Ryan's site "you might even have the opportunity to win a "mee&greet" with the singer!!" extremely high cultural content, no doubt about it.

Excellent review, paying tribute to the true masterpiece of the Rolling Stones (it stands on equal footing with "Exile on Main St."), even though official Criticism has always considered it to be below the three subsequent albums, starting with "Beggar's Banquet," which, however, I find to be decidedly less inspired (Sympathy for the Devil aside, of course) and less daring. Probably - after the shocking psychedelic turn present here - Jagger and Richards feared ending up in a creative dead end. Not that the subsequent albums were inferior, but here, as Lewis clearly points out, there was the spirit of that unforgettable 1967.
