Creedence Clearwater Revival»rank: 1765by: Creedence Clearwater Revival
: :Popular but not hip, basic but not shallow, rooted but not retro, Creedence Clearwater Revival distinguished themselves in the late 1960s and early 1970s through these contradictions.

Live at Blues Alley»rank: 1000by: Eva Cassidy

Tracy Chapman»rank: 1615by: Tracy Chapman
: :0ne of the most striking debut albums ever released, this disc instantly established Chapman as a musical force, and with good reason. lmmediacy, integrity of purpose, and unqualified artistry are apparent in nearly every song. And while 'Fast Cars' remains Chapman's best-known work, 'Talkin' Bout a Revolution' is that rarest breed: a song which is both topical and timeless.

'Blowin' in the Wind,' 'Masters of War,' 'A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall,' 'Don't Think Twice, lt's All Right,' 'l Shall Be Free': if this sounds like the lineup for a greatest-hits collection, you've got the idea.
