  • Rumours thumbnail

    Amazon UK — Amazon.co.uk Review With the pop sense of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks now leading the band, Fleetwood Mac moved completely away from blues and created this homage to love, Southern California-style. Each songwriter makes his or her presence known: ...More…

  • Led Zeppelin IV thumbnail

    Amazon UK — Features: Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin Iv Brazil Import Amazon.co.uk Review Also known as the "rune" album because of the medieval symbols adorning its cover, Led Zeppelin's fourth album, released in 1971, turned them from mere superstars ...More…

  • The Bends thumbnail

    Amazon UK — Amazon.co.uk Review After the massive success of Pablo Honey--or, more specifically, the single "Creep"--had made them a household name, most had written Radiohead off as one-hit wonders. That they could return with an album as awesome and ...More…

  • OK Computer thumbnail

    Amazon UK — Amazon.co.uk Review Whilst one suspects some kind of pre-millennial hysteria prompted Q magazine's readers to vote OK Computer The Greatest Album Ever Made scarcely five months after its release, it certainly doesn't look stupid up there in the ...More…

  • Nevermind thumbnail

    Amazon UK — Amazon.co.uk Review One of the defining moments of the 1990s, despite happening at the start of the decade. The guitars start jittering, then "BOOMA-ABOOMA-ABOOMA-ABOOM!", the drums kick in and grunge splatters itself all over a generation of ...More…

  • The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders from ... thumbnail

    Amazon UK — Amazon.co.uk Review Of all David Bowie's many distinctive personae, none have done more to lodge this most ingenious of British artists in the world's consciousness than his 1972 amalgam of the alien visitor and Christ-like rock star: Ziggy ...More…

  • Dark Side of the Moon thumbnail

    Amazon UK — Amazon.co.uk Review One of the most famous albums of all time, Dark Side Of The Moon sold 25 million copies in its first 25 years of release. It continues to be a favourite, with 20 per cent of those sales occurring in the period since it first came out ...More…

  • Moon Safari thumbnail

    Amazon UK — Amazon.co.uk Review Moon Safari, the first album proper by this pair of middle-class Frenchmen, easily survives unscathed from its billing as that most deadly of sub-genres: dinner party music. True, Moon Safari, with its blatant bliss-provoking easy ...More…

  • Five Leaves Left thumbnail

    Amazon UK — Amazon.co.uk Review There's not a single dud in the trilogy of albums that singer/songwriter Nick Drake released during his all-too-short career. And 1968's Five Leaves Left--his first album--is certainly no exception. Drake's sensitive guitar ...More…

  • Parachutes thumbnail

    Amazon UK — Features: Coldplay - Parachutes Brazil Import Amazon.co.uk Review Music doesn't come more touching than Parachutes. With their debut single alone, the emotion-fortified "Shiver", Coldplay proved they could shift between elated and crushed in ...More…

  • Rio: Remastered thumbnail

    Amazon UK — Amazon.co.uk Review For the most part, Rio is an eerie and sumptuous record. With their raspy, arpeggio synth sounds and Simon Le Bon's uninflected vocals, the misty ballads "Lonely in Your Nightmare" and "Save a Prayer" can still ...More…

  • Exodus thumbnail

    Amazon UK — Amazon.co.uk Review In 1999 Exodus was rightfully voted by Time Magazine the most important album of the 20th century. This is the visionary Bob Marley's masterpiece, a concept album that distils the myriad experiences of both our daily lives and ...More…
