    PHONOGRAPHY is one of ROLLING STONE'S "FIFTY MOST SIGNIFICANT INDIE RECORDS"
    Intro quote by Stewart Mason, AMG.
    "One of the most unique albums of the 1970s, R. Stevie Moore's debut long-player is an uncategorizable mess that somehow keeps from falling apart completely, kind of like a one-man band version of the Beatles' White Album cross-pollinated with late-1960s Frank Zappa at his most antic. Yet just as the album seems hopelessly self-indulgent and bizarre, Moore suddenly veers into some of the sweetest and catchiest pop songs of the pre-punk '70s. That dichotomy is what makes Phonography special."
    -Stewart Mason, All Music Guide

      To be honest, it's his fault. Most bands struggle for years playing in shitty clubs before they make it big. Those days of playing in crappy places isn't wasted, it's their conditioning. I guess RSM wanted to stay home lol

    The closest non DYI artist I can compare to RSM is Roy Wood of The Move, ELO and Wizzard fame. There's a certain vocal similarity and definitely a willingness to write experimental yet catchy pop music. Great stuff!
