Website of the Week
No music collection is truly complete without at least a token section reserved for the legendary giants of classic rock: the Beatles, the Stones, the Who and the rest. Moreover, no one with at least a passing interest in the best music of the 60s and 70s can be excused for not visiting George Starostin's classic rock and pop album review page. Nothing can dim the brilliance of these rock heroes, and Starostin's exhaustive site provides a fitting tribute to their greatness.
The site includes in-depth, song-by-song analysis of thousands of albums by every 60s and 70s band you've heard of and many more you haven't. From Jefferson Airplane to Led Zeppelin, no acre of classic rock's fertile territory is left unplowed. Starostin employs a strict artist-rating system (e.g., the Stones are a five-star band and the Eagles a one), and anyone with strong musical tastes is bound to be offended by at least one or two of his critical opinions.
In general, the site is so extensive that one is willing to forgive the man a few obvious oversights (Neil Young only a two, and Genesis a four?).
