Monster by Steppenwolf (CD, Oct-1990, MCA Records USA)

Steppenwolf...What can I say?...Grew up in that era...Doors and Steppenwolf were the bands then...Hit the charts with a bang...Great music of the Vietnam era...

I loved this album when I was a teenager at the height of the Vietnam war. Steppenwolf took a step away from writing top 40 hits to write a protest album against the war. I recently heard some of this on XM Radio and I thought I'd look for it on eBay. Sure enough - there it was! I still have 2 copies of the original LP's but who uses a turntable anymore? The only drawback is that the complete album artwork is not included. I wish people could hear this album today. Even though it was written in 1969, the parallels between then and now are uncanny. If you didn't know better you'd think it was written about our involvement in Iraq. Very apropos.

I guess I'm being Prejudice about the Steppenwolf monster album,but This is the first album of Steppenwolf I ever listen to. I loved it so much that I have it in all formats except digital.I mean,Reel to Reel,Vinyl LP,8-Track,Cassette. I don't want to be without! Get one now before it's too late! Rick (KG4YVW)

as a young man steppenwolf was one of the most solid rock bands of the 70s.
i am trying to fill in old classic rock cds as a sidelight to my mass record collection of 60s to 80s rock. and MONSTER is one of the best stepp albums along with what i call the silver album (born to be wild)..
and oh yes, who fans rock is not dead..

long live rock
