Excellent addition to any fusion music collection
Somehow passed over and nearly forgotten, languishing in the shadow of the 'Friday Night in San Francisco' set, is this great album from the guitar hero team.
Blessed with their first full-fledged hit album, ZZ Top followed it up with Fandango!, a record split between a side of live tracks and a side of new studio cuts.

Essential: a masterpiece of progressive rock music.
While on the British continent ELP, GENESIS and YES became extravagant millionairs, on the other side of the Atlantic 'six hillbillies' with their band KANSAS turned out to be the best and one of the most popular USA progrock band ever.

Essential: a masterpiece of progressive rock music

Essential: a masterpiece of country folk music
17 hits! Almost 1 hour of successes of Simon & Garfunkel, there will be no disappointment for purists, this is a compilation with its original tracks.
Excellent addition to any prog rock music collection.
Am I even hearing the same album as everyone else on here? I don't see why so many people think this is a bad album. Actually; it's quite good. Very good, actually, and I may even go so far as to say that it's a better album then MONOLITH in some ways.
