Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
(more) »rank: 68by: The Beatles
: :\N essential recording:Before Sgt. Pepper, no one seriously thought of rock music as actual art. That all changed in 1967, though, when John, Paul, George and Ringo (with 'A Little Help' from their friend, producer George Martin) created an undeniable work of art which remains, after 30-plus years, one of the most influential albums of all time. From Lennon's evocative word/sound pictures (the trippy 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds,' the carnival-like 'Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite') and McCartney's music hall-styled 'When I'm 64,' ...

Call Me Irresponsible

:Album Description:Melding the contemporary and the classic in ways only he can, Michael Buble has created his most complete studio effort yet. Ranging from 'I've Got The World On a String' to 'Me and Mrs. Jones,' in addition to two new songs co-written by Michael, Call Me Irresponsible makes this album irresistible. :It's no coincidence that Michael Bublé's new album starts with just his voice and some fingersnaps on 'The Best Is Yet to Come,' a song made famous by Frank Sinatra.

Abbey Road

: essential recording:The Beatles' last days as a band were as productive as any major pop phenomenon that was about to split. After recording the ragged-but-right Let It Be, the group held on for this ambitious effort, an album that was to become their best-selling. Though all four contribute to the first side's writing, John Lennon's hard-rocking, 'Come Together' and 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)' make the strongest impression. A series of song fragments edited together in suite form dominates side two; its portentous, touching, official close ...

The Beatles (The White Album)
(more) »rank: 135by: The Beatles
: essential recording:Better known as the 'White Album,' this was meant to be the record that brought them back to earth after three years of studio experimentation. Instead, it took them all over the place, continuing to burst the envelope of pop music. Lennon and McCartney were still at the height of their powers, with Lennon in particular growing into one of rock's towering figures. But even McCartney could still rock, and the amazement on 'Helter Skelter' was that he had vocal cords at the end. From Beach ...

The album was softened up in its original 12-song American edition to jibe with the Dylan/Byrds folk-rock sound, as well as squeeze money from the Parlophone catalog. The 14-song U.K. edition--the version now available on compact disc--is a different, more dynamic, and ...

: :Michael Bublé's assured debut and the tireless year of globe-trotting touring he spent promoting it elevated the 20-something Vancouver native into the first rank of pop crooner revivalists. His sophomore studio follow-up largely turns on the same formula that helped make his considerable vocal prowess so attractive to mainstream audiences, mixing the nigh flawless, if expected Sinatra-channeling ('I've Got You Under My Skin') with more playful and inviting renditions of pop standards like the Gershwin's 'A Foggy Day in London Town,' 'Feeling Good,' 'Try A Little Tenderness' and ...
