Also the most untrue. As a fan of the grateful dead circa 1969-1974, all I have to say is that if you don't like it, it's your own loss. Some of their albums of that period are amazing and they were an even better live band. I don't know how they cut it live present day, but judging from the great taste Bruce from Not Lame has in releasing records, if he said it was good I'll believe him. I guess I'll be able to chime in more after I go see them at Darien Lake on August 8th. > > Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2003 14:22:32 -0400 (EDT) > From: matty karas > both subjectively (i.e. i say) and objectively (i.e. so does everybody else!), > the kinks' absolute pinnacle was the 1967/68 albums "something else by the > kinks" and "village green preservation society." those two albums are their > "rubber soul" and their "revolver," the reason they existed, the reason that > perhaps i myself exist. I would definitely have to agree. Make that a me too on this one, although I do quite like the album with Alcohol on it too (Muswell Hillbillies or something like that?).
