"All I wanted to say was this, so I'll put it in caps so it'll stand out: THE SWEATIEST ROCK ALBUM EVER. On the TV series CHEERS, someone asked a literate professor what the sweatiest movie ever made was."
"Best CD & premastered done very well."
"It's Led Zeppelin II."
"The first album feels like the one that captured a magic energy from the band that I continue to be impressed by no matter I hear it, and III is my favorite album by the band. There are songs on the release that are essential Zeppelin, and you can feel the band hitting bigger and better creative streaks as they start to finesse their sound."
"I had this album on vinyl, bought it back when it was first released."
"Skips- disappointed."

"for whatever reason i didnt really listen to nick himself. until 2007 when i was working at night by myself. listening to a playlist of hundreds of songs made by other coworkers, and this record came on the speakers."
"Nick Drake's soothing guitar and simple lyrics make life in a hectic world seem a little bit more clear."
"Modern folk singers aspire to this..."
"Woah baby, take it easy."
"Pink Moon, Road and Parasite are terrific songs, but I really enjoyed the whole album."
"I find it very interesting, a lot of details that would bug me about another artist's work (the insubstantial voice, the inconsistency of the lyrics, the limited dynamic range), absolutely don't cross my mind when I listen to this album."
Best Classic Glam Rock
Includes 'Benny and The Jets', 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road', 'Candle In The Wind', 'Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting' and 'Harmony'.

"Finally, the "revisited" versions from current day artists are a nice tribute to Elton, although I'll admit I probably won't listen to them again."
"Well, the SACD sounds much better than the standard CD."
"Great CD!"
"There's some good stuff here, with "Funeral for a Friend", "Candle in the Wind" and "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' being my favorites."
"I am assuming that the version with the bonus DVD (which I really wanted) is no longer in stock but Amazon never asked me, never checked to see if I would accept the substitute, they just the 30th anniversary CDs with no bonus DVD."
"If you already have the previous remastered version and don't want to hear extra songs like the live performances, then you can skip this version."
"Can see why this is one the best music albums out there!"

Eric Burdon and the Animals, Jim Morrison and the Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Sweetwater, Fleetwood Mac, Creedance Clearwater and Jerry Riopelle to name a few (I already had all of Led Zeppelin, the Beatles and the Stones).."
