this album should be right above "beatles-sgt. peppers lonely hearts club band" on THE ROLLING STONES TOP 500 ALBUMS LIST! however i'm glad that they acknowledged SUNFLOWER.
i give this album 4 stars! i still think its one of the better albums released by anybody in the late 1980s. i agree with those who say that it is stronger than any album that the beach boys released since "beach boys love you" i liked "rio grande" at the time it was released,it gave us an idea to what "heroes & villians" was originally supposed to sound like! however i agree who people who say that "little children" sounds alot like "mountain of love"
