RecommendOK, here comes one of those embarasing confessionals. I am a big Damned fan and one of my favorite tracks of theirs was Alone Again. My confusion was that I had no idea it was a cover of Love's. After having Forever Changes recommended to me several times I was pleasantly suprised when I heard the first track was the previously mentioned track. Anyway, about the music. Love was one of those late '60s folk psychedelic bands and probably one of the better ones. A band whose impact wasn't immediately noticed but over time. Never a huge chart success but still a fave by many. They incorporated captivating lyrics and brilliant horn and string arrangements in order to break away from their counterparts. Forever Changes is a must for any Rock collector.

Whenever I talk about music, I always get attacked with a question from a classic-rock elitist: If your music's so great, then why isn't it on the radio? Or, simply, how come no one knows about your music? Well, here is the example of the modern day classic-rock-indie band: Love, a group that defined its generation through its album Forever Changes. Changes is an album of emotional capriciousness: lead singer Arthur Lee's happiness, paranoia, depression all manifest in the lyrics, while Love's instrumentation provides rich, ebullient sounds with its horns and strings. Yet, somehow, America missed this band in the 60s, and the album is being discovered today as a masterpiece. So maybe not every work of art is, or ever will be, discovered--at least not immediately. So here's my answer to the elitists: give my bands 20 years for an intelligent audience to enjoy them, not a populace that touts Panic! at the Disco and Snoop Dog.
