Nevertheless, as Gene Sculatti and Davin Seay write in their book "San Francisco Nights", "Moby Grape" "remains one of the very few psychedelic masterpieces ever recorded." Justin Farrar considered that "(i)t's no understatement to hail the group's 1967 debut as the ancestral link between psychedelia, country rock, glam, power pop and punk." In addition, the 1983 "Rolling Stone Record Guide" said their "debut LP is as fresh and exhilarating today as it was when it exploded out of San Francisco during 1967's summer of love." In 2003, the album was ranked number 121 on "Rolling Stone" magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, and 124 in a 2012 revised listing. It was also voted number 98 in Colin Larkin's "All Time Top 1000 Albums" 3rd Edition (2000)"."
