Rolling Stone's 227th greatest album of all time

Superb album, by far one of the best rock albums of all time. Without a single bad song on the album and so many massively influential rock anthems, it is a work of genius. Truly a band at their best and hard to beat.

Oct 12, 2017

Sliding out of perhaps the greatest winning streak in rock history, the Stones slipped into decadence and rock star excess with Goats Head Soup, their sequel to Exile on Main St. This is where the Stones' image began to eclipse their accomplishments

Critic- Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Original Score: 3.5 out of 5

Rolling Stone's 177th greatest album of all time

Brilliant rock/funk album from the "mad as a bag of squirrels" Funkadelic.

Reese Witherspoon recommended Daisy Jones & the Six in Books (curated)

"The book centers on the meteoric rise of a rock band in the ‘70s and its lead singers Daisy Jones and Billy Dunne, whose connection is as electric as the music they make together. It’s sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll, people!! The book comes out March 5, so you can pre-order it now… And the very best part?! Hello Sunshine is turning this into a TV show with Amazon Studios… so stay tuned for more updates!"

Book Favorite

"A totally joyful history of punk rock told in an unflinching, self-incriminating and ultimately punk rock way. It embraced all that punk is—even the stupid stuff. It filled me with a lot of exciting nostalgia for things I didn’t even experience."

May 11, 2020

Rolling Stone's 403rd greatest album of all time

Great hard rock album. Not taking themselves too seriously, just having a beer and a laugh and rocking out. Features their best song (and one of the best rock songs of all time) Free Bird.

Jun 22, 2020

Rolling Stone's 112th greatest album of all time

Good folky rock album, something akin to the Beach Boys with brilliant female voices, the harmonies are on a par.

Rolling Stone's 79th greatest album of all time

Good rock and blues album. Whole Lotta Love is phenomenal but the rest of the album is a little forgettable.

Rolling Stone's 352nd greatest album of all time (418th in the 2020 list)
