Buy Now	My Generation (Dlx) (Dig) (more) »rank: 17506 by: Who :Album Description:It's kind of odd that the Who's first album would be the last to be reissued in deluxe fashion, but, given the prominent role the late John Entwistle plays on it (his instrumental 'The Ox' was and is a sonic marvel), it's kind of fitting, too. But the real reason it took so long for the Who camp to release this is that they added so much to it! Disc one presents the original album mixed in stereo for the first time by original producer Shel Talmy, plus single sides like 'Bald Headed Woman' and Daddy Rolling Stone.' Disc Two is a ...	Buy Now	The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus (more) »rank: 24256 by: The Rolling Stones : : Rolling Stones Photos Amazon.com:Conceived in late-'60s London, this literal three-ring would-be 'television spectacular' featuring the Stones and a select cadre of friends and associates became (along with the Beach Boys' Smile album and Bob Dylan's Albert Hall concert) one of the era's greatest unreleased projects. When it finally surfaced in the late '90s, those overinflated expectations all but guaranteed it a tepid response. Legend has it that the Stones originally nixed it because they felt overshadowed by the Who, but it's likely the shelving had more to do with the band's then-unsettled state of affairs. The Stones' raw, powerful set here both ...
Buy Now	Led Zeppelin Remasters (more) »rank: 33745 by: Led Zeppelin :Album Description:European only highlights collection compiled from the box-set originally released in 1992 but without the interview disc and at a much better price. 26 tracks on two CDs and featuring the original box-sets cover art. All the big hits are here, including 'Communication Breakdown', 'Heartbreaker', St airway To Heaven', 'Kashmir' and more. Slimline double jewel case.	Buy Now	Legacy: The Absolute Best (more) »rank: 25109 by: The Doors :Album Description:Packed with over 2 1/2 hours of groundbreaking and career-spanning cuts, all remastered for stellar sound. Features the previously unreleased studio version of 'Celebration Of The Lizard'. Slipcase. Elektra/Rhino. 2003.
Buy Now	Quadrophenia (more) »rank: 31044 by: The Who : :During the '70s, Tommy went from being the Who's finest hour to excessive pop-culture cliché--precisely the sort of bloated musical albatross that fueled the decade's punk and new wave reactionaries. Consequently, director Frank Roddam imbued his 1979 version of Quadrophenia (Pete Townshend's 1973 introspective ode to teen angst set against the English mod versus rocker clashes of the early '60s) with a conscious sense of scale and humanity. Unlike the often embarrassing Tommy film spectacle, the band's musical presence on Quadrophenia is both concise and surprisingly fresh. They contribute three new songs ('Get Out and Stay Out,' 'Four Faces,' 'Joker James') that help ...	Buy Now	Hot Space (more) »rank: 38228 by: Queen :Album Description:Japanese exclusive 2001 remaster of 1982 album. 11 tracks.
Buy Now	Live at Wembley Stadium (more) »rank: 21703 by: Queen : :Bigger-than-life and proud of it, Queen's tongue-in-cheek pomposity was ironically one of its most endearing charms. This double-disc live album recorded at the band's typically massive 1986 Wembley Stadium stand in support of its A Kind of Magic album is a perfect distillation of the band's overarching intentions--and virtually every '70s/'80s rock cliché punk rebelled against. The tracks may reverberate with the boominess of the punter's paradise they were recorded in, but it's an ambience that underscores the shows' propulsive, populist intent. Latter day hits like 'Under Pressure' and 'Another One Bites the Dust' may have their nascent club-beat savvy hammered into conformity ...	Buy Now	Who's Greatest Hits (more) »rank: 11202 by: The Who : :From their beginnings as the patron saints of Britain's mod, mod, mod, mod world, to their sophisticated compositions and musical virtuosity, The Who remain one of the greatest rock bands. Ever. With so many songs that helped redefine the very genre that they were a part of, it's annoying that Who's Greatest Hits only dabbles in The Who's catalog, ignoring for instance, the beautiful tension of hits like 'I Can See for Miles' or the exhilarating rush of genius at the beginning of 'Baba O'Riley.' The collection does provide a decent array of the band's growth from 'Substitute' and their signature 'My Generation,' ...
Buy Now	Absolutely Live (more) »rank: 17565 by: The Doors : :This 1970 double LP proved to be about as good an approximation of the singular methodology of a Doors concert as was possible in the pre-video era. Alternately short and to the point (like the AM radio hits 'Touch Me,' 'People Are Strange,' and 'Hello, I Love You,' among those featured here) and long and meandering (like such open-ended excursions as 'When the Music's Over' and 'The Celebration of the Lizard'), Morrison and crew displayed the full slate of their estimable powers as both musicians and motivators--continuing to daringly break through whatever sonic and thematic doors they opened. --Billy Altman	Buy Now	Let It Bleed (more) »rank: 69640 by: The Rolling Stones : essential recording:One of the Stones' most beloved albums, 1969's Let It Bleed was a benchmark for several reasons. First, founding guitarist Brian Jones died during the recording process. Second, the Stones take their last significant look at pure blues (Robert Johnson's spooky 'Love in Vain') and country ('Country Honk,' the two-stepping alter ego of 'Honky-Tonk Women') before folding both styles into a cohesive rock & roll vision. Third, it contains some of the band's most eerie hits, such as the flame-enveloped 'Gimme Shelter,' the drug-reality anthem 'Monkey Man,' the epic 'You Can't Always Get What You Want,' and Mick Jagger's menacing 'Midnight ...
