The Grateful Dead's best album?

[ratings]

I thought I would spice up this uReview section with a rating system. You can rate the album up or down out of 10 now. I added the rating system to past reviews as well, so just click this uReview tag (also located at the top of every post) to rate the rest of them.

While we’re working on the next podcast, let’s hear what you have to say about the GD debut.

uReview: The Band “Music From Big Pink”

[ratings]

A lot of times the comments folks leave here blow me away. Many have been the equal of any professional music writing I’ve encountered elsewhere, while others relate from a casual or personal level that you can’t find in corporate mags or journals. And as we’ve said before, your comments are why this site exists.

For a “uReview” review we’ll take a look at some classic and contended albums and leave it up to commenters. We’re starting out easy with Big Pink. So, what do you think?
