    I believe there was good music produced in every decade. A lot of what has been expressed here is opinion, which is cool, but also causes controversy. Duke Ellington said it best, "If it sounds good, it is good."

     Anyone have any opinions on this release? Personally, I liked it. I like the fact that this is the album that the Beatles originally had in mind.
