Buy Now	Some Girls (more) »rank: 1294 by: The Rolling Stones : essential recording:A fresh, uncompromising attempt to incorporate 1978 pop techniques into the band's familiar sound, Some Girls opens with the disco sass of 'Miss You' and closes with the self-destructive punk of 'Shattered.' (Both songs, especially 'Miss You,' with its distinctive Mel Collins sax solo, remain live showstoppers.) So the Stones declared credibility in the dance circuit without sacrificing their hard-rock reputation. Though the anti-love 'Beast of Burden' and the stylishly slow 'Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)' continue to rack up the most airplay, the obscurities stand up surprisingly well. Worth replaying: Keith Richards's rickety rocker 'Before They Make Me ...	Buy Now	Demons and Wizards (more) »rank: 3985 by: Uriah Heep :Album Description:180 gram picture LP. Earmark. 2005. :Demons and wizards and bears, oh my! After finding their musical stride with 1971's Look at Yourself, Uriah Heep followed up a year later with this, their first foray into the lyrical realm of dungeons, dragons, and whatnot. David Byron's intermittent falsetto is in full effect by the time the chorus comes thundering in on heavy hits such as 'Easy Living' and 'Traveler in Time.' But the 'ard 'n' 'eavy Brit rockers also had their sensitive side, as evidenced by the more reflective Ken Hensley-penned tracks like 'Circle of Hands' and 'All My Life.' --Billy Grenier
Buy Now	Permanent Waves (more) »rank: 2283 by: Rush : essential recording:One of Rush's finest moments, second only to Moving Pictures. This album includes two classic songs, 'The Spirit of Radio' (which has one of the most recognizable guitar riffs in all of rock) and 'Freewill.' There's also the epic-feeling 'Jacob's Ladder,' as well as 'Entre Nous,' a sort of intellectual love song (if such a thing can be said to exist). The introspective 'Different Strings' and the anthemic 'Natural Science' (which clocks in at over nine minutes) close the album. Though there are only six songs on Permanent Waves, it's enough; the material is rich enough that more of it would ...

Buy Now	Hemispheres (more) »rank: 3072 by: Rush : :Smart rockers Rush were just on the brink of being embraced by the album rock mainstream when they recorded Hemispheres. Already wildly popular with a certain corner of the intellectual crowd, thanks in part to drummer Neil Peart's Ayn Rand obsession, this CD marked a turning point for the Canadian trio. Hemispheres explores the political, social economic, and sci-fi themes prevalent on their early work, continuing the saga of 'Cygnus' from A Farewell To Kings. Rush was fond of writing in movements, almost orchestrally, rather than the typical verse/chorus/verse/chorus structure, and Hemispheres has the usual opus-like compositions that perfectly displayed their chops. The ...
Buy Now	The Grand Illusion (more) »rank: 4615 by: Styx : essential recording:More than two decades before it became Eric Cartman's favorite song on South Park, 'Come Sail Away' was the choice of music fans with one foot in the art-rock camp and the other in Top 40 pop. The Grand Illusion straddled the seemingly divergent directions as only Styx could, laying on the pomp with layers of keyboards and high-flown lyrical conceits, yet keeping the proceedings light with hook-filled choruses and breezy melodies. Tommy Shaw's engaging 'Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)' is the set's highlight, offering a bit of armchair psychology even as it acted as a subtle dig at the ...
