I would say no (see the cover, without the article). If you care, remember to make the same comment on all the reviews of The Who, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Darkness, etc.

The Jeff Beck Group Jeff Beck Group

Great album. Beck is, as always, a step ahead of everyone when it comes to pure lead guitar. Yes, the singer is second tier, but not the drummer! (the poor Cozy Powell, who looks like his brother: same tuft on his head)

Cinderella Still Climbing

They were pulled out of anonymity by Bon Jovi. He told them to do like him, which meant catchy songs decked out with big guitars and screams. It wasn't their thing at all, but they held on for a record and a half, all of the first and half of the second, where genuine stuff starts to come out and "Gypsy Road" remains an amazing track. Then they fell apart, starting to do (decently) the rock/country blues they liked, and of course, they lost traction. Maximum respect for Cinderella.

They made four albums, including the posthumous one. The LP you’re referring to is the second one.

More Beatles, and in a big way. With the Stones, I’m only interested in the period from 1968 to 1971, when Richards discovered the minimal delights possible with open D tuning and created about ten fantastic riffs.

What can I say, I adore them! They have everything, almost everything that intrigues me. Listening to their latest album didn’t have the same effect on me as it did on you, in the sense that for me, since the beginning of the new millennium, their rock has consistently been running along the exact line between pop and progressive, just the place where I want to see—actually hear—them. Only the second to last album, due to Moratti’s more progressive metal and less ironic voice, shifted things a bit. By the way, it still needs to be reviewed... should I do it or will you, splinter?

I was on your spaceship too back then... what can I say, perhaps that they are aliens as well, and our brothers.

Joni Mitchell Miles of Aisles

Yes, I agree with you, it's not an essential album from Mitchell, who, after all, is not the kind of artist who adds much value live. She's so cerebral, even in the instinctiveness of her creativity... on stage, she tends to do her own thing, if you love me, follow me, without introducing anything new. In fact, she has always needed a "band leader" (Scott, Pastorius, her ex-husband on bass, Thomas Dolby...) to temper her desire for something different. In short, from this point of view, she belongs to the lineage of Steely Dan, the Eagles, and many others who feel more at home in the studio.
