A classic, true, for all it inspired and for most of the music itself. While much of the material is superb--most notably "Five Years," "Moonage Daydream," "Suffragette City" and "Rock 'N' Roll Suicide"--not all of it holds up ("Hang On To Yourself") or even makes sense contextually (a cover of "It Ain't Easy"?). But who can argue with the sound or the band?
