The eponymous debut album of Steppenwolf cemented a fine foundation for their careers as the song "Born To Be Wild" launched the popularity of the band into the stratosphere virtually overnight.

It was rightfully featured in the ultimate road movie Easy Rider, emitting perfectly the atmosphere of the story.
