    Is White Bird on that album? I only have it on a European "greatest hits" album, so I don't know its origin. It's a **** of a song, though.

    What was the first Uriah Heep album?
    I was totally going by memory of the times when I presented my list.
    I think I may need to make a doctor's appointment.

    I've seen a couple excellent ones posted here. I would agree with:

    Blood, Sweat and Tears'-"Child Is Father To The Man". This is the only album you need by this band. Phenominal album!

    The Jimi Hendrix Experience-"Are You Experienced". Nothing needs to be said about this one.:cool:

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Though there is no doubt The Beatles are truly one of the greats, I don't think their first lp really stands out. It was unremarkable at best.
    The Gear... Carver "Statement" Mono-blocks, Mcintosh C2300 Arcam AVR20, Oppo UDP-203 4K Blu-ray player, Sony XBR70x850B 4k, Polk Audio Legend L800 with height modules, L400 Center Channel Polk audio AB800 "in-wall" surrounds. Marantz MM7025 stereo amp. Simaudio Moon 680d DSD

    A lot, actually.

    I agree, while I love the Beatles...the early stuff is pop. It took them a couple of years to really come into thier own creatively.

    And I disagree. I also love the Beatles, and also much prefer their later stuff. However you feel about how deserving potential one-hit wonders like LAdy Gaga may be of appearing on this list, this album, in its time, was everything that Lady Gaga's debut album is, plus it has passed the test of time - more than half of the songs still get airplay nearly 50 years after it's release. Add to that the greatness that followed, and I don't know how you could say that it's not a great debut album.
