Add diverse elements of power rock, funk, folk, country with the outstanding song writing team of Tom Johnston and Pat Simmons and Ted Templeman leading the production and what do you get? The finest Doobie Brothers album of the band's long career. Unfortunately for the band, and for the fans of this promising young band in 1975, this would be Tom Johnston's final album with the band (until the 1989 reunion with the lackluster "Cycles" album). Due to his declining health, he was forced to exit the band during the Stampede supporting tour. The Doobie Brothers, post Johnston, would morph into an altogether different band with the newly recruited Michael McDonald (but that's a different story). Stampede, although not the apex of the band's commercial success, would be the apex of the band's focused and consistent rock and roll, and the high water mark of the band's creativity.The Doors L.A. WomanThe Traveling Wilburys Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1The Who Live at LeedsThe Who QuadropheniaThe Who Who's NextIn my humble opinion, Who's Next is not only Pete's and The Who's finest work, it is the finest work in all of rock history. Send me to a deserted island with a life supply of batteries, a discman, and one disc--that disc would be Who's Next, the only constant in my life since I discovered it at age 12, 35 years ago.The Who Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970The Who The Who at Kilburn: 1977U2 The Joshua TreeU2 WarYes RelayerYes Close to the EdgeYes Going for the OneYes The Yes AlbumYes Fragile4.5 superbAerosmith Toys In The AtticAerosmith Get Your WingsAsia AsiaBuckingham Nicks Buckingham NicksDeep Purple Deep Purple In RockDeep Purple Live At Montreux 1996Deep Purple Now What?!Emerson, Lake and Palmer Brain Salad SurgeryEmerson, Lake and Palmer TarkusEric Clapton Eric ClaptonFleetwood Mac Fleetwood MacGeddy Lee My Favourite HeadacheGrand Funk Railroad Live AlbumGrand Funk Railroad SurvivalGrand Funk Railroad PhoenixGrand Funk Railroad All the Girls in the World Beware!!!Grateful Dead In the DarkHeart Dog & ButterflyHeart Greatest Hits LiveHeart Jupiter's DarlingThe ratings below 3 for Jupiters Darling leave me scratching my head. The only conclusion I can draw is those who feel this album is average or poor are HUGE fans of the 80's pop-glam-metal band. The Wilsons couldn't have moved farther away from that sound, for the better, than Jupiters Darling. If you are a fan of the 70s band, I can't possibly see how you would be disappointed with this excellent offering.Heart Dreamboat Annie LiveHeart Red Velvet CarJethro Tull Stand UpKansas KansasKansas Somewhere to ElsewhereKansas There's Know Place Like HomeKing Crimson The Power to BelieveKing Crimson RedKing Crimson Starless and Bible BlackKing Crimson THRAKKing Crimson Absent LoversKing Crimson VROOOM VROOOMLed Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IIILed Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IVLed Zeppelin In Through The Out DoorLed Zeppelin How The West Was WonNeil Young Harvest MoonNeil Young Live RustNeil Young Ragged GloryPaul McCartney Flaming PiePaul McCartney Tug of WarPete Townshend Who Came FirstPete Townshend Lifehouse ChroniclesAn outstanding behemoth collection of Pete's Lifehouse Demos and Experiments, with a few original tracks included.

The primary song writing team of Tom Johnston and Pat Simmons (no other song writers here) combined with Templeman's skill as a producer result in the finest Doobie Brothers album since 1975's Stampede. For those who haven't followed the Doobie Brothers since the 1982 breakup, this isn't the soft pop band, saturated on adult contemporary radio, led by Michael McDonald (although he guests co-vocals on one song with Pat Simmons). Rather, this is a return to form of early Doobie Brothers vintage rock and roll with Johnston and Simmons leading the way. World Gone Crazy is a must have for any fan of the Tom Johnston Doobie Brothers era (1970 to 1975).The Doors Morrison HotelThe Who The Who Sell OutThe Who My GenerationThe Who Live at the Royal Albert HallThe Who Odds & SodsThe Who Rarities: Volume IIThe Who Thirty Years of Maximum R&BThe Who Live at Hull 1970U2 All That You Can't Leave BehindU2 How to Dismantle an Atomic BombU2 The Unforgettable FireU2 BoyWings Band on the RunYes DramaYes 90125Yes YessongsYes YesshowsYes Fly from Here4.0 excellentDeep Purple Perfect StrangersDeep Purple Who Do We Think We AreDeep Purple Come Taste The BandDeep Purple BurnDeep Purple BananasDeep Purple AbandonEric Clapton 461 Ocean BoulevardGeorge Harrison BrainwashedGeorge Harrison Living in the Material WorldGrand Funk Railroad We're An American BandGrand Funk Railroad Closer To HomeGrand Funk Railroad Born To DieGrand Funk Railroad Good Singin', Good Playin'Heart MagazineHeart Bebe Le StrangeHeart The Road HomeHeart Alive in SeattleHeart FanaticJethro Tull This WasJethro Tull BenefitJohn Entwistle Left for LiveKansas MasqueKansas Song for AmericaKansas Two for the ShowThe performances are awesome, the sound is awesome.

Bands must change and grow, Mel left, but ultimately the '80s were not kind to GFR. Like The Who, GFR could not make a successful transition to a changing cultural scene.

Unfortunately, that promising start is as far as the band got to reigniting the energy and creativity of the gloried past. Cycles failed to deliver on all cylinders. While it sparked a minor radio hit with "The Doctor", the end result was a far cry from the band's finest albums of the early 70's. Gone was Ted Templeman leading the production. Furthermore, Tom Johnston and Pat Simmons turned over too much song writing and vocal contributions to other collaborators. The result was an inconsistent and lackluster effort, that at times sounded more like the Michael McDonald era, yet lacked McDonald's flair and soul.The Doobie Brothers Livin' On The Fault LineThe Who 20th Century MastersThe Who My Generation: The Very Best of the WhoThe Who Greatest HitsAnother in an endless stream of boring greatest hits packages from my favorite band.

I say hogwash. Pete spoils the outstanding music with the overbearing and distracting radio dialogue. Remove the tiresome actors voices, and the awful "Flame" and there is a gem under all that awful distractedness. Unfortunately, the music only disc (which exists and is excellent) is rare and left unattended to in the remastering of Pete's catalogue. A shame, as the the music only disc reveals the true genius of Pete, which is in the music, not the silly radio play.Queen Flash GordonSantana ShangoSantana Spirits Dancing in the FleshThe Doobie Brothers One Step CloserThe Doobie Brothers BrotherhoodBy 1991, Tom Johnston and Pat Simmons had seemed to forget the chemistry and forumla that worked so successfully for turning out outstanding albums such as those in the early to mid 70's. The missing chemistry was Ted Templeman on production. The missing formula was using Johnston and Simmons as the primary (if not only) songwriting team with Templeman to shape and fine tune the songs. Brotherhood was harder edged than it's predecessor, but not much more creative or inspired.The Who Join TogetherWhere's The Who in this recording? Sounds like Roger backing an army of musicians... wait! it is Roger backing an army of musicians.Yes Union1.5 very poorBlack Sabbath Born AgainSantana Beyond AppearancesSantana FreedomIronic the final song is titled "Victim of Circumstance" as the entire album is a victim of late 80s horrid production, keyboards, drums.
