Steppenwolf - For Ladies Only

For Ladies Only es el sixto album de estudio del grupo Speppenwolf, lanzado al mercado en 1971. Tiene un concpto político y estaba de moda el feminismo y la liberación femenina, pero también tiene unas rolitas convencionales de amor, pero un poco inusuales para Steppenwolf. Algunos críticos tachan el disco de sexista, por algunas de las letras de las canciones de este. Pero algunos ven la banda flirteando con un poco de rock progresivo, este disco (me gusta mucho en realidad) llegó al número 40 del top 100. Es uno de mis favoritos, aquí se los dejo para que lo disfruten. Long Live Rock'n'roll!

For Ladies Only is the sixth studio album by Steppenwolf, released in 1971. It is a political concept album mainly about feminism but with several more conventional songs about romance as well, both unusual themes for Steppenwolf. Some critics saw the album as sexist, citing the lyrics of the songs and an image of a vehicle shaped like male genitalia alongside the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the sleeve. The album saw the band hinting toward the progressive rock movement that was popular at the time with more complex arrangements and sophisticated keyboard playing, particularly on the title track. Like their previous album, it was accompanied by two minor hit singles which fell just short of the Top 40.
