ITT Anon Babble in 1966
HEY, BRIAN!
DON'T MESS WITH THE FORMULA!
Someone redpill me on Rainy Day Women.
Also, Where are my S&G posters.
Give them a listen, their first 2 albums were great but this is something special. Can see them become just as big as Beatles.
Also did any of you notice the Dylan disses
TOPKEK
What the heck is THIS?
Is anybody else worried about The Beatles state of mental health?
Who would release an album with a cover like this?
Wait weren't they all recalled? Hold on to that copy anon, might become expensive in a couple years.
I'm the contrarian kid who would have been blasting Lawrence Welk compilations and failed 60's albums from out-of-style 40's/50's vocal groups just to annoy the other kids.
This is a great album.
I didn't think they could top The Sounds of Silence, but this is good.
Gotta support our boys in 'Nam.
I want to fugg Frank's daughter.
FEELIN GROOVY
Yes they were.
I got the one with the new cover, bt I'm gonna take your advice and save the other one, even though the new on I got is better because it's in mono, and some of the songs are slightly different.
What Goes On has slightly different lyrics.
The cover fillers aren't so hot, but the title track is totally boss!
Hitler sure was one groovy cat. Dig it! He did nothin’ wrong man! The Jews are layin’ a bad trip on us man
Not too shabby.
I didn't think Old Burt had it in him to write a rock and roll song.
Hey, Charlie, when did you get out of the joint?
Too soon, man. Too soon.
They're calling this guy Scotland's answer to Bob Dylan.
I'm not hearing it, but it's pretty good though.
Has anybody else heard this?
They sure named it right.
The first record is pretty good except I don't like how Aint Got No Heart ends, and WhAre The Brain Police is just creepy. However, the rest of the songs are enjoyable except I'm Not Satisfied. Who wants to hear a depressing song about killing yourself?
The second record starts off alright with a blues song about the Watts riots, but then it gets totally weird.
Just listen to the first record, skip the three songs I mentioned, and it's OK.
If you listen to both records frm start to finsh, and you actually like it, you probably look like one of these dirty, long haired, unshaven freaks on the cover.
The Beatles are through.
Over!
Finished!
I mean, first John Lennon has the nerve to compare The Beatles to Jesus Christ, and then they put out that album with chopped up babies, and now this?
I was OK with that one Indian song on Rubber Soul, but this has two Indian songs.
And the last one is totally weird as all get out!
And putting down tax collectors won't win you any friends, n matter how much people hate to pay taxes.
And there's no cohesion. The songs don't flow into each other like on previous albums.
No, I predict this will be the last album The Beatles will ever put out.
Nobody will remember them by next year.
Golly gee fellas I was unpleasantly surprised to come across this big black negro on tv the other day. Some days I truly ponder what all of this is a-comin to. The music itself was very questionable - it had my wife Darlene squirming in discomfort in her chair - and was, in short, a wholly UPSETTING experience. One must question the example this sets to our society, to openly celebrate this kind of primal noise and jiggabooing. If this continues, in 25 years time we will have an AVALANCHE of these workshy types flooding our airwaves with their nondescript messages of hedonism. Consequently, if this trend of broadcasting NEGROES continues, it completely defeats the point of buying a color tv altogether - in the first place because I shall not be tuning in to these musical programmes any longer, and secondly because there is no point in watching a black man on colour tv!!

The Rolling Stones are finished.
Writing songs about doing drugs will kill a bands career instantly.
Just like The Beatles, nobody will be talking about them next year.
Well, it's different, I'll give you that.
It's really not too bad, but I don't quite know what to make of it.
It's actually kind of a fun album.
I wonder what their concerts are like?
This is interesting.
Some good guitar playing here.
I'm not sure people are ready for a rock band with socially conscious lyrics, though. That's why nobody's heard from The Who or The Animals in quite a long time, but the music is good enough to overlook that.
What in the world did I just listen to?
People tell me that the music scene in San Francisco is what's happening.
After listening to this dreck, I beg to differ.
I mean you have two songs encouraging statutory rape, and one drug reference.
Thank goodness there were only 500 of these pressed. Nobody should hear this filth, and or even pay attention to this band.
Terrible, just plain terrible.
I am very low IQ. My shallow love of "progressive rock" is rooted on some connections to some stupid post son this website.
Judging by what I've seen and heard, if rock is "Progressing" I think I'll stick to listening to The Four Season.
It's all over for Bob Dylan.
I mean you just don't write songs about doing drugs. And That Second Time Around is just a second rate Beatles rip ff, and that one song that takes up the last side of the album is just plain boring.
I remember when Bob Dylan had something important to say.
It's all over now, bobby, no?
It's a nice album, and the vocals are really good, but songs about taking drugs is going to be thier downfall, no matter how sweet the harmonies are, or how good the guitar playing is.
They could've been the American Beatles, but they can kiss that good bye....
I am so sick and tired of everybody putting this band down.
OK, so maybe they're not a real band.
OK, so maybe they don't play their own instruments.
OK, so maybe most of the songs were written by other people.
I don't care.
This is a good record, the music is good, and I think The TV show is funny.
And it's a lot better than that Saturday Morning Beatles cartoon.
If they come out with a lunch box, I'll carry my daily lunches to work in it with pride!
I just farted and shit my pants, right here in the good ol’ current year of 1966! I was listening to ? and the Mysterians when I shitted
I didn't need to know any of that, but you have good taste in music, at least.
Was this genre of music called? Psychedelic music? Anyways its great
The monkees are better than the beatles and im tired of pretending the opposite.
Have you seen their show? Blows the beatles out of the water
Res these guys trying to be America's version of The Rolling Stones?
Jesus Christ they'll give anyone a show nowadays won't they?
I CRY
I PRAY
MON DIEU
I don't know what you would call the music on The Byrds' new album, but I still call it rock and roll, even though it's a little bit different than most rock and roll bands.
It's a great album, but writing songs about doing drugs is the kiss of death.
Also I don't think The Monkees are better than The Beatles, but I do believe they are America's answer to The Beatles.
I watch their show every week.
It's funny, and a lot better than that cheap Beatles cartoon they show every Saturday.
It's funny, and a lot better than that cheap Beatles cartoon they show every Saturday.
That cartoon is so bad in a few years people will be laughing at it
Whats with rock and roll bands these days.
The opening track is totally depressing, and the singer sounds like he has sinus problems.
I'm laughing at how terrible it is now.
Maybe if they had the real Beatles doing their own voices....
No, on second thought it would still be terrible.
It actually makes their movies look good.
if you like the seeds I recommend the album (Turn On) The Music Machine
You think you can just rip off The Yardbirds version of I'm A Man, change the lyrics, and put out an album?
Also, this is nothing but covers after the title track, which, as I said, is just a second rate U.S. Yardbirds rip off.
Well, I gotta admit that I like the guitar work on We Aint Got Nothing Yet, but that slow start and speeding up and slowing down again on Tobacco Road is getting just as old hat as everybody's brother's band covering that old chestnut.
I don't think anybody outside of Washington state is going to know who this band is, or really care, but they're bring rock and roll back to the basics.
Stripped down, raw, honest, and, most importantly American.
No foreign influences, no weird guitar playing. Just plain old back to the basics have a good time rock and roll, as it should be.
most importantly American.

This band has a lot of potential, but they really need to write some originals.
I mean,sure The Rolling Stones first album was just other people's songs, and it worked for them, but now they're writing their own music.
If The Rolling Stones can do it, Paul Revere and The Raiders can, too.
This is a good band, with the potential to be better, but if they don't start writing their own songs soon, they'll spend the rest of their lives playing at the local hotel cocktail lounge for tourists.
I still can't understand why radio stations won't lay the original version of Gloria, but they'll play The Shadows of knight.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good version, and this is a good band, but, yet again, we have another album of covers.
They're all blues covers by Chicago blues musicians. Maybe they're just paying tribute to their home town music makers, but I stand by my statement about filling an album up with too many covers, because that's what it is in the end, just filler, no matter how good you play the music. (And it IS good music)
A mostly white blues band covering a MONKEES songs?
This album is mostly blues covers, but, being they're from Chicago, that's to be expected.
That being said, not too bad for an almost all white band.

This Tommy James & the Shondells band is popping off lately. That "Hanky Panky" song is quite annoying. Let's see where they go in a few years.
How do you have to many vinyls?
does your dad work on a vinyl store?
I believe they're known as Seconal, which is a barbiturate, or "Downer" as the kids call them these days.
They're supposed to make you drowsy and help you sleep. They are usually given to a patient before surgery.
Sadly, in this day and age of 1966, too many of America's youth are experimenting with all kinds of drugs, including the red pill, Seconal.
Nobody, especially America's youth should ever take any drugs without a prescription, and proper supervision of a doctor or medical professional. Too many of our young people don't realize how dangerous drugs can be, and thousands are dying from misuse of these drugs each and every day.
So remember, unless you have a prescription for Seconal, and are under a doctor's care or are being medically supervised, don't take them.
It's alright, but their album is full of covers.
Maybe they'll write some songs for their next album. I can see how one could easily get anoyed with Hanky Panky, but it's an easy song to play on the guitar, so, that works for me, since I'm just starting to learn how to play. I hope they don't write anything too complicated for their next album.
Another good album, ruined by another song about taking drugs, which is a shame, because, musically Along Comes mary is a good song, but we all know who "Mary" is.
It's album full of other people's songs, but their version of Good Lovin' really gets people out of their seat.
I hope they write some originals for their next album, because this band is good.
Why did they wait until New Years Eve to release this?
I think it will be a great album for 1967, but almost nobody will remember it came out in 1966.
I think when I play it tonight at my New Year's Eve party people are gonna totally freak out over it. Their cover of Taxman is good, and I like what they did with Neil Diamond's Cherry Cherry, and T R O U B L E and Talk Talk are great, but, to be honest, their version of Hey Joe makes my skin crawl. I'm glad they put it at the end of the album, because I just can't handle it. I can't wait to hear what they'll do next. These guys are wild.
