I debated whether or not to feature this record, as so many words and emotions have been devoted to it in the past 47 years; what more could possibly be said about it?
It's an album that I revisit every now and then and it surprises me each time that I listen to it. Sure, I was into it for the snarling rebellion when I was a kid but when you grow out of upsetting your parents, this album still delivers the goods in ways that recordings of a similar age just cannot replicate. Rotten has finally gone mouldy but judging by the recent reunion without him, these songs are still as powerful and relevant as ever they were.

Great read! One of my favorite rock and roll guitar sounds on any album!
