Teenage Head

Straightforward blues rock. Compared to The Rolling Stones genre-wise, but lacking any of the Stones’ edginess. These guys are more like a litter of puppies while the Stones are a pride of panthers.

Never heard this before. Instant classic. Punk rock Rolling Stones.

Not that interesting

Annoyingly, I didn't realise I was listening to the CD bonus tracks, which dilute what is a very tight album. Grrr.

Not what I expected from this album at all. It seemed a bit all over the place - lots of different sounds and vibes. I could hear other bands/performers influences in different songs

I quite liked it, a very enjoyable listen!

4 ⭐️

There is little I hate more than a steel guitar. I despise this.

The worse Rolling Stones. 2.375

confusing, there's a Canadian band called Teenage Head

Hm, a weird week where Kings of Leon & The Who* didn't impress me like I thought they would, but this random San Fran rock band wins me over in like 2 songs.
No points for originality tho

Edit: listened to it a second time, I fear after the initial surprise I don't get much of a lasting impression. Still fun though

HL: "High Flyin Baby", “Have You Seen My Baby”, "Whiskey Woman"

*Speaking of Live at Leeds, perhaps it was a mistake to put on the expanded version, banter & all, rather than the 6-track version.

A surprisingly enjoyable listen. I say surprisingly only because I’d never heard of them and wasn’t sure what to expect. A very groovy album with a number of decent tracks even if none really stood out as head and shoulders above the rest. Seem to have borrowed from various other artists of the era but thats not a bad thing.

Började som en bra Rolling Stones-skiva men dom tappade mig nånstans på vägen.

finally, an answer to the question: "what if the rolling stones were good?"

Groovy indeed. Not sure I absolutely *had* to hear it though.

I was expecting a new Rolling Stones (based on the Wikipedia page), and I got a not-so-good RS cover.

Never heard of this band, after listening I can see why. They seem to have been a more "rough around the edges" take on the same music the Rolling Stones were producing around the same time. I found it quite boring to be honest, nothing memorable at all about these songs. Having said that, I've always found Sticky Fingers quite boring too. Musically this isn't terrible, but I don't see why it would be considered "Essential".

Like a missing link between the Rolling Stones and Dr Feelgood.

Never heard of these before, good grooves! They're were totally an influence on the Eagles of Death Metal.

Yeah I really don’t care enough to finish this.

It's fine. It's like what The Rolling Stones would sound like if they weren't absolute shit.

Evil Hearted Ada sounds like a weird Elvis knock off.

Never heard of these guys before, but I was really enjoying the first half of the album. Kind of lost me once you got to the covers on the back half though.

Hate the cover, like the music.
