Reviews
-
For some groups this will be a lifetime of ideas but Residents crammed them on one album. -
...this group changed alot in my life between 1978-83. specially with "duck
stab/buster & glen" (78) and "commercial album" (80), but i chose the
outrageous debut from 1974 with the legendary beatles gimmick-cover. to
illustrate their creative potential of that peculiar era...
