Steppenwolf: For Ladies Only
Bud Scoppa, Rolling Stone, 23 December 1971
STEPPENWOLF IS LIKE the football club that always wins more than it loses, and perennially finishes second or third in its conference something like Purdue. Sound in the skills but hardly ever brilliant. Always in contention, but never the champ.
