: :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remastered and reissued in a special digipak plus a 16 page full color booklet containing all original album art, many unpublished photos, classic memorabilia and new 2003 liner notes.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 ... |

A Hard Day's Night»rank: 578from: Capitol
: :A Hard Day's Night was the first Beatles album of all-original material, and the first to feature George Harrison playing his Rickenbacker electric 12-string guitar (on the opening chord of 'A Hard Day's Night,' for instance). The distinctive sound of the 12-string inspired countless guitarists including Roger McGuinn and David Crosby of the Byrds. The film from which these songs hail remains a classic combination of happy 1960s naivete and nascent hipster wit. Many of the most important rock bands ... |

Let It Be»rank: 325by: The Beatles
: :Sloppy in conception, and even sometimes in the playing, Let lt Be often gets a bad rap. Unfairly, as it's often as charming, well written, and (oh yeah) rocking as the Beatles' 'better' albums; it's also more outright fun than Abbey Road, the masterpiece it followed into the stores. With Lennon and McCartney working together on the perfect 'l've Got a Feeling,' 'Two of Us,' and 'Dig a Pony,' it's hard to believe these guys were about to implode. --Rickey Wright |

Wish You Were Here»rank: 392by: Pink Floyd
: Essential Recording:Wish You Were Here is a song cycle dedicated to Pink Floyd's original frontman, Syd Barrett, who'd flamed out years before: two grimly funny songs about the evils of the music business ('By the way, which one's Pink?'), and two long, touching ones about the band's vanished friend. The real star of the show, though, is the production: sparkling, convoluted, designed to sound deeply oh-wow under the influence--and pretty great sober too--with David Gilmour getting lots of space for ... |
