If I could have just 1 rock album this is probably the one. All of it is great, bluesy, and especially, playing right now, "Beck's Bolero" is an untouchable masterpiece. R.I.P. and thanks for all the top music!!

Upper echelon band certainly. Funk top 3 for me, with James Brown and Sly & The Family Stone (and Parliament/Funkadelic & Kook & the Gang rounding off my top 5/6).
