1.Blues Breakers by: John Mayall, Eric Clapton December 15, 2000

I was going to mention Clapton's christening of the Les Paul, Marshall setup, but others have beaten me to it. I liken it's impact to what happened to harp playing when Little Walter and other's deciding to blow through the PA or an early guitar amp. They REDEFINED the sound of the instrument. So all I'll add is the rhetorical question...can you imagine being a teenage Brit, having been reared on the sounds of the Beatles, Jerry and the Pacemakers, or even the Dave Clark Five, wandering into a London club because someone had recommended the Bluesbreakers, and hearing THIS STUFF? Probably as epiphanic as being a white guy in mid 50's Chicago and having the nerve to wander into the Dew Drop Inn and hearing Muddy, Wolf, or later, ... Read More:

2.Buena Vista Social Club by: Buena Vista Social Club, Ry Cooder June 09, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £11.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.98 You Save: £3.01 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.99
'Buena Vista Social Club' is the Ry Cooder produced album of such melodic, harmonious, relaxed Cuban beauty. Each track transports you to another time and place and you honestly feel your cares drifting away as you listen to each song. From the wonderful album opener 'Chan Chan' to the infectious 'El Cuarto de Tula' and the delightfully mournful 'Dos Gardenias' and more, this album throws up delight after delight. Ry Cooder may have brought this amazing music to a wider audience, but it is the talent and passion of the musicians that shines through. A beautiful album that deserves a place in music collection. Well worth a try.

Hasn't anyone who has reviewed this noticed how unnatural and lightweight the drums sound on many of these tracks when heard in stereo. The people at the record company who put out a deluxe edition in stereo AND MONO noticed, though rarely do these people show this sort of intelligence and responsibility. 40 years ago when I first got to know this it was a mono copy I had - on vinyl of course. When I acquired a CD copy some years ago at first I couldn't understand why I felt so let down but I soon realized that it was the stereo mix that was to blame; it was neither the quality of sound with the transfer to digital nor the music itself thankfully, although not having heard my old copy for some years, for a short time I was uncertain whether my old estimation ...

4.Experience Hendrix by: Jimi Hendrix March 27, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £12.49 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.68
Jimi was the first real experimenter with the then new fangled electronic gadgetry associated with electric guitar and guitar effects, and the first man to actually try to make a guitar talk! In '69 at the Albert Hall, The Experience were superb. Ever seen a guitar player playing the background and melody both at the same time on one guitar left handed? This was Hendrix! Absolute genius!! If any musician ever deserved legendary status it was Jimi. Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding too were superb artists in their own right in The Experience. Although better guitarists have come, and gone, nobody has been as revolutionary on electric guitar as Jimi was. Always striving to exceed the limits of the technology back then, and with such wonderful songs, I really miss him. On this ... Read More:

5.After the Gold Rush by: Neil Young July 31, 1987
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.88
After the Goldrush the song itself. Is a brilliant song, only 3 verses. The third verse is the most important with regard Mother Nature. I would advise people to read Arthur C Clarkes story called Childhoods End. Verse 3 of the Neil Young song puts that story into 5 lines:- "Well I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships lying In the yellow haze of the sun There were children Crying and Colours flying All around the Chosen ones All in a dream all in a dream, the loading had begun Flying Mother Natures silver seed to a new home in the Sun Flying Mother Natures silver seed, to a new home." A truly inspirational song and an album which shows great versatility and lasting power. Along with Harvest my favourite Neil Young Albums.

Okay. Pub argument Number 120. Who is the greatest song-writer ever? Dylan, Lennon and McCartney are all in with a shout. Brian Wilson, Kurt Cobain, Roger Waters, the list goes on. But seriously, how could anyone take this title other than Neil Young. I mean it, this guy is so good, it defies belief. I did try to collect a few Neil Young albums a few years back. In time they disappeared or got sold, and I continued to listen to all sorts of mindless rubbish (what the hell was I supposed to know, I was only a punk kid). But over the last few years i've come to the conclusion that not only is Neil Young far better than even people think he is, but even amongst the elite, he's virtually untouchable. Don't believe me? Then listen again. Every single song on 'Harvest' ... Read More:

I got this album about six months ago, liked it immediately and like it even more now. I love every song, although this is not the full version - which I got and think is much better cos it has some extra tracks. I think this is easily one of the best albums i have ever heard, ever! I recommend this to anyone who loves good music!

8.461 Ocean Boulevard by: Eric Clapton March 17, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £4.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £2.98 You Save: £2.01 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.37
This is a wonderful album. It marked Clapton's sobriety following his heroin usage, and has a theme of redemption and rebirth running through it. Also, there's a strong taste of someone who has turned himself inside and out. In places, this is passionate, elsewhere playful, and in many places you can hear a man asking himself what he has left. Fantastic stuff, strongly recommended.

9.Greatest Hits by: Neil Young November 15, 2004

The reason why a compilation like this is useful is that not everyone's a music nut. Not everyone absolutely loves Neil Young. I have the 2CD Decade compilation and I find it be no fun trying to get through it. This is ideal as it's very much to the point without too many boring songs. It also has a fair chunck of his most popular album Harvest. Decade can now be put in a drawer and forgotten.

This is the first santana record I ever liked and bought in the 70s.The sound gets better each time you play this record and there is nobody(singer,band etc) to compare with this great santana line up which provided the world with this great gift of music.All songs are great song-wise and rock-wise and trust me when I say this is pure art!The true magic in this album and band is the unique combination of different types of music(afro music,latin american music and western rock music) all coming together as one blended in harmony under the stewardship of Carlos Santana producing an awe inspiring sound that has stood the test of time ."Mother's Daughter","Black magic Woman","samba pati" "Se Nkabo" are all timeless classics that Carlos himself has failed to beat to date.This ,without a doubt,is the greatest rock album ...
