What resulted has become one of the essential rock albums of the 1990s. Check out what the guys have to say about the record.

Released in 1971, the album's recording was dominated by the band's frontman Sly Stone during a time of drug use and group tensions. The recording shifted away from the optimistic sound of their previous records and embraced a darker more challenging sound.

In 1999, the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.Check out what the guys have to say about the record.
