Pet Sounds is the eleventh studio album by the American rock band the Beach Boys, released on May 16, 1966, by Capitol Records. It was produced, arranged, and primarily composed by Brian Wilson with guest lyricist Tony Asher. Recorded largely between January and April 1966, it furthered the orchestral sound introduced in The Beach Boys Today! (1965). Initially promoted as "the most progressive pop album ever", Pet Sounds is recognized for its ambitious production, sophisticated harmonic structures, and coming of age themes. It is widely regarded as among the greatest and most influential albums in music history.

Wilson viewed Pet Sounds as a solo album and attributed its inspiration partly to marijuana use and an LSD–rooted spiritual awakening. Galvanized by the work of his rivals, he aimed to create "the greatest rock album ever made", surpassing the Beatles' Rubber Soul and extending Phil Spector's Wall of Sound innovations. His orchestrations blended pop, jazz, exotica, classical, and avant-garde elements, combining rock instrumentation with layered vocal harmonies, found sounds, and instruments not normally associated with rock, such as French horn, flutes, Electro-Theremin, bass harmonica, bicycle bells, and string ensembles. Featuring the most complex and challenging instrumental and vocal parts of any Beach Boys album, it was their first in which studio musicians, such as the Wrecking Crew, largely replaced the band on their instruments, and the first time any group had departed from their usual small-ensemble pop/rock band format to create a full-length album that could not be replicated live.

Electric Ladyland是Jimi Hendrix第三张，也是最后一张专集，於1968年10月16日由Reprise Record推出。作曲及製作都是Hendrix一手包办，也是Jimi电子吉它弹奏技术的最高峰，被认为是史上最佳摇滚专集之一。专集不只是以Jimi Hendrix Experience乐队名誉推出的最后一张唱片，亦是他自己监察下製作的最后一张专业录音室专集。之后两年，他餘生都是尝试努力於组新乐队和灌录些新歌曲。
Electric Ladyland是张双唱片专集，是Jimi Hendrix跨领域音乐天才横溢的表现。涉猎了多种音乐类型，包括<Burning of the Midnight Lamp>的迷幻色彩(之前的1967年夏在英国推出过单曲)，蓝调感吉它演绎的<Voodoo Chile>，新奥尔良摇滚的<Come On>，史诗式录音室製作的<1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)>，评论社会的"House Burning Down"等等。专集亦收录了翻唱Bob Dylan作品的<All Along the Watchtower>，受到包括Bob Dylan自己和其它人的讚扬。还有<Voodoo Child (Slight Return)>长久以来都是电台和吉它乐手必奏曲目。
在他的专辑中，乐迷们最喜欢的专辑是《Electric LadyLand》，史诗式魔幻元素一浪接一浪，很取悦耳朵。

伍佰的摇滚浪漫，所有的情绪， 都在一场演唱会的生命里，汹涌浪漫。伍佰国台语全创作，特别推荐伍佰和李宗盛首度合作，唱出最男人的声音"台北孤儿"，炙热的情绪随着歌曲波涛汹涌，全新编曲，加入弦乐，不论是浪漫，激动，属于都市的节奏，亦或乡愁的抒情，都在这张独树一帜的专辑中。
最后一个歌是bonus track，曲目前面有大断空白，是正常现象！

94年，作为滚石“魔岩三杰”之一的张楚，《孤独的人是可耻 的》专辑发行，这张专辑了没有《姐姐》那样令人陶醉的伤感，更多的是对内心的抒发。 专辑中的歌曲的旋律极具无规律性。在音乐里，张楚不仅是一个有巨大内涵的腼腆孩子，更是一个已经跨越了城乡的诗人。所以，即便他后来并没有找到可以带自己回家的“姐姐”，但他依然懂得以孤独者自醒，以卑微者自乐。有人说他是中国最寂寞的歌手，因为他从小四处飘泊流浪， 有人说听他的歌特别感伤，因为歌声浑厚苍茫。他大部份歌曲创作的时候都是走在路上……

First CD reissue of the album.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (often referred to simply as Sgt. Pepper) is the eighth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. Released on 26 May 1967, Sgt. Pepper is regarded by musicologists as an early concept album that advanced the roles of sound composition, extended form, psychedelic imagery, record sleeves, and the producer in popular music. The album had an immediate cross-generational impact and was associated with numerous touchstones of the era's youth culture, such as fashion, drugs, mysticism, and a sense of optimism and empowerment. Critics lauded the album for its innovations in songwriting, production and graphic design, for bridging a cultural divide between popular music and high art, and for reflecting the interests of contemporary youth and the counterculture.

«Before Sgt. Pepper, no one seriously thought of rock music as actual art. That all changed in 1967, though, when John, Paul, George and Ringo (with "A Little Help" from their friend, producer George Martin) created an undeniable work of art which remains, after 30-plus years, one of the most influential albums of all time. From Lennon's evocative word/sound pictures (the trippy "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," the carnival-like "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite") and McCartney's music hall-styled "When I'm 64," to Harrison's Eastern-leaning "Within You Without You," and the avant-garde mini-suite, "A Day in the Life," Sgt. Pepper was a milestone for both '60s music and popular culture. --Billy Altman»
