Forever Changes
One of the first pop albums to become a cult classic, Love's 1967 masterpiece, Forever Changes. This is the pinnacle of the LA freak scene.
Singer / songwriter Arthur Lee's lyrics are increasingly fragmentary and paranoid, foreshadowing the band's eventual drug-fuelled collapse. Yet these drop-dead hip tunes are set in arrangements featuring Herb Alpert-style mariachi horns, lush middle-of-the-road strings, and other tropes of the easy listening scene, creating a more unsettling sense of tension than if the songs were given the usual heavy rock instrumentation.
Every single track is a stone classic, Forever Changes belongs high on any halfway serious list of the greatest pop albums of the '60s.
- Alone Again Or
- A House Is Not A Motel
- Andmoreagain
- The Daily Planet
- Old Man
- The Red Telephone
- Maybe The People would Be The Times or Between Clark And Hilldale
- Live And Let Live
- The Good Humor Man He Sees Everything Like This
- Bummer In The Summer
- You Set The Scene
