Creem was a wonderful magazine - pretty much America's only mag that covered rock music and nothing but rock music. Rolling Stone did but also covered current affairs and politics. Creems readers had fine taste too. Look at this stellar list of albums that they voted the best of 1973. Amazing that Mott was voted top over all the other big bands. It is a wonderful album, though.
