Toys in the Attic(more) »rank: 2179by: Aerosmith
: essential recording:Originally released in 1975, this was Aerosmith's breakout recording. Listeners only familiar with their more recent, post-comeback material may be surprised; like their other albums from the 1970s, Toys has a strong blues inflection, as indicated by their cover of 'Big Ten Inch Record,' which also shows that Aerosmith has never lacked raunchiness or innuendo. There's also the original (pre-Run-D.M.C.) version of 'Walk This Way,' and the classic 'Sweet Emotion.' This is classic Aerosmith at its gritty, streetwise best; they may have been derivative, but it ... |

A Night at the Opera(more) »rank: 2886by: Queen
:Album Details:Japanese Version featuring a Limited Edition LP Style Slipcase for Initial Pressing Only. essential recording:Nothing succeeds like excess--at least that's the case with Queen's breakthrough classic, A Night at the Opera. On one level, the title is a reference to the band's operatic pretensions, best in evidence here on the classic 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' which was championed by headbangers a generation before being revived by the Wayne's World set. Of course, A Night at the Opera was also the title of a Marx Brothers movie, and the ... |

Lola versus Powerman and the Money-Go-Round, Part One(more) »rank: 1811by: The Kinks
: essential recording:The Kinks' 1970 effort was the penultimate creation in a five-year, six-album burst that ranks just a notch below the great sustained rock & roll eruptions of Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the Stones, and Elvis Costello. Of course, the linchpin to this collection is 'Lola,' Ray Davies's irresistibly vivid account of the charms of a seductive transvestite. Its daring (for the time) subject matter aside, 'Lola' stands as one of the great singles of all time. Add to the list the almost as infectious 'Apeman,' a ... |
