Slippery When Wet»rank: 1574by: Bon Jovi
: :Slippery When Wet transformed Bon Jovi from minor-league poodle rockers to global superstars on the back of hit singles 'You Give Love a Bad Name,' 'Never Say Goodbye,' and, of course, 'Living on a Prayer.' From the scantily clad car-wash girls on the inner sleeve to the 'You lost more than that in my back seat / Yeah!' lyrics, the album is blissfully untouched by irony and subtlety, which actually adds to its charm. With guitarist Richie Sambora and songwriter Desmond ... |

The Spirit Of Radio: Greatest Hits 1974-1987»rank: 964by: Rush
: :Japanese edition of 2003 compilation includes an exclusive bonus disc with two tracks, 'What You're Doing' (Live) & 'A Passage To Bangkok' (Live). 18 tracks. Atlantic. :Though not their first-ever career survey, Rush's Spirit of Radio compilation is an ideal point of entry for newbie fans or anyone who consistently likes the Rush songs most often heard on commercial radio. While 1990's Chronicles set was more encompassing--including tracks beyond Spirit of Radio's '87 cut-off point--the Canadian prog-rock trio's benchmark moments ... |

The Division Bell»rank: 1873by: Pink Floyd
: :As Roger Waters's solo career set into a sunset of suspiciously self-serving Wall revivals and compelling if modest-selling solo efforts, his former band became one of the few outfits in the soft live market of the 1990s to burnish its stadium-filling appeal. But their recorded output wasn't quite so rosy. As all post-Dark Side of the Moon albums must have a Big lmportant Theme, The Division Bell is vaguely about levels of separation (did you say, duh!?), with more than one ... |

Toys in the Attic»rank: 1229by: Aerosmith
: essential recording:0riginally 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 lnch 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; ... |

Stardust... The Great American Songbook, Vol. III»rank: 992by: Rod Stewart
: :lt's a little hard to take Rod Stewart seriously when, on the first track of this third installment in his Great American Songbook series, he sings ruefully about his love life being 'lean' ('Embraceable You'). But otherwise, Stardust...Volume lll is as note-for-note solid as its predecessors--a cozy-up-to-the-fire treat that's also a pleasant reminder of these songs' staying power. 'S'Wonderful' settles on the ears winningly, and Stewart's scratchathon voice scalpels the cobwebs off of 'lsn't lt Romantic' in a way that compels ... |

Disraeli Gears»rank: 1280by: Cream
: :Fresh Cream, the album that introduced this seminal super-blues trio to America, was perhaps a bit too blues-based to do the advance hype ('Clapton is God!') justice. Two of its three best-known tracks, after all, were blues covers. lt was Disraeli Gears that turned Cream into a 'supergroup.' Here they pursue the psychedelic ideals of the era with total abandon (the LP cover art still stands as one of the 1960s' most striking designs), merging these ideals with their take on ... |
