Back in Black»rank: 139by: AC/DC
: :AC/DC's 1980 album digitally remastered and reissued in a special digipak plus a 16 page full color booklet containing all original album art, many unpublished photos, classic memorabilia and new 2003 liner notes. Epic. essential recording:Most critics complain Back in Black, the album AC/DC recorded after the death of their original lead screamer Bon Scott, is ridiculously juvenile, obvious, snickering, bludgeoning, derivative, single-minded about sex and booze, a big cartoon. All true, of course, and--on rock 'n' ragers like 'What Do ... |

Queen - Greatest Hits, Vols. 1 &2»rank: 414by: Queen
: essential recording:Queen brought a whole new meaning to the phrase over the top. While rock & roll flamboyance stretched back at least as far as Little Richard, Freddie Mercury continued to camp it up, taking little seriously and smirking at the music's growing pretensions while partaking in them no small bit. Many of the band's singles hold up extremely well, later tracks such as 'Hammer to Fall' as much as prime-era numbers such as 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' 'Killer Queen,' and 'You're My Best ... |

Greatest Hits»rank: 232by: Guns N' Roses
: :lt may surprise some to realize that Guns Nā Roses released only four full-length original albums, and two of those debuted simultaneously. But they were enough to forever change rock ānā roll. Even more shocking is that one of the great bands in rock history, with its last studio album issued 10 years ago, has never had a 'best of' compilation. Now it has. Welcome to the jungle with Greatest Hits (Geffen), released March 23, 2004. With 14 selections housed in a ... |

: :AC/DC's 1976 album digitally remastered and reissued in a special digipak plus a 16 page full color booklet containing all original album art, many unpublished photos, classic memorabilia and new 2003 liner notes. Epic. essential recording:ln 1976, when the Eagles, Peter Frampton, and Heart ruled the rock airwaves, along came five scruffy young men (the lead guitarist was maybe all of 18 and dressed in a schoolboy's uniform) from Australia playing some of the rowdiest, hardest, dirtiest rock of all time. ... |

Highway to Hell»rank: 356by: AC/DC
: :AC/DC's 1979 album digitally remastered and reissued in a special digipak plus a 16 page full color booklet containing all original album art, many unpublished photos, classic memorabilia and new 2003 liner notes. Epic. essential recording:What Highway to Hell has that Back in Black doesn't is Bon Scott, AC/DC's original lead singer who died just months after this album was released. Scott had a rusty, raspy, scream of a voice, like he might break into a coughing fit at any moment. ... |

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap»rank: 677by: AC/DC
: :AC/DC's 1981 album digitally remastered and reissued in a special digipak plus a 16 page full color booklet containing all original album art, many unpublished photos, classic memorabilia and new 2003 liner notes. Epic. :While Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap sounds like every other AC/DC album, it is distinguished by a lyrical puerility spectacular even by Bon Scott's standards. Two tracks--'Love at First Feel' and 'Squealer'--are ruminations on the morality of sex with schoolgirls. 'Big Balls,' ostensibly a narrative from the perspective ... |

Let There Be Rock»rank: 773by: AC/DC
: :2003 remastered reissue of 1977 album packaged in a digipak with 16 page full color booklet containing all original album art, many unpublished photos, classic memorabilia, and liner notes. Epic. essential recording:AC/DC's second U.S. release took the raw energy from their debut, High Voltage, up a notch, producing another huge collection of driving, intense songs for serious headbanging, but adding a bit more professionalism into the equation. The songwriting and production are tighter and more focused, and standouts such as 'Whole ... |
