加拿大独立摇滚乐团 Arcade Fire 于 2004 年携首张专辑《Funeral》登场面世。Win Butler 的声音破碎、脆弱、凶猛而又浪漫，他笔下的《Funeral》有着无数的含义，既是爱与死亡，孤独与聚合，又关乎全体人类的命运，带着寓言式的悲观情绪。无论是《Rebellion (Lies)》对梦境与死亡的探索，还是《Neighborhood 1 (Tunnels)》中唯美清冷的意境，都展现出他们别样的美学观念和艺术气息。

这部雄浑壮伟的钜作，正是滚石探索美国音乐集其大成的总验收－－蓝调、乡村、灵魂、福音，从Gram Parsons教给他们的白人歌谣到国会图书馆留下来的二○年代密西西比田野录音，Exile On Main Street探索了摇滚乐所从出的美国文化最深邃的灵魂，也替后世树立了一座绝难攀越的巨碑－－或者该说，一条切进美国音乐古老的心脏地带的Main Street。　　 Exile On Main Street，如今大家都同意，是摇滚乐诞生至斯，最值得纪念的扛鼎之作，可能也是滚石最好的一张唱片－－不幸的是，它也是滚石最后一张真正担得起「伟大」两字的专辑，结束了他们从1968年起算的辉煌年代。

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» Credits: Phonographic Copyright ℗ – EMI Records Ltd. Copyright © – EMI Records Ltd.

First CD reissue of the album. Revolver is the seventh studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. It was first released on 5 August 1966, accompanied by the double A-side single "Eleanor Rigby" and "Yellow Submarine". The album was the Beatles' final recording project before their retirement as live performers and marked the group's most overt use of studio technology to date, building on the advances of their late 1965 release Rubber Soul. It has since become regarded as one of the greatest and most innovative albums in the history of popular music, with recognition centred on its range of musical styles, diverse sounds and lyrical content.

在80年代末至90年代，英国出现了纯粹以吉他噪音实验为目标的乐队与风格，并且获得了相当大的成功，在英国独立摇滚中可谓独树一帜。敏感的乐评人称这一类音乐风格为“自赏摇滚”（Shoe-gazing）。“自赏摇滚”这一名称很是贴切，既包涵了乐队的音乐风格，又暗示了乐队特立独行的生活态度。 My Bloody Valentine就是这类摇滚的代表人物，Loveless是该乐队的第三张专辑，被公认为是该乐队最成功的代表作，在世界范围内都有巨大影响，这张专辑和乐队名称甚至一起出现在了经典游戏Final FantasyVII的片头CG里。

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。

1966年12月, 乐队推出“Purpls Haze”，由Jimi创作并打入排行榜第三名，随着新歌的不断创作和录制，唱片《Are You Experienced》于1967年5月推出，并位居英国唱片排行榜第二名，仅居于Beatles的《Sergeant Pepper》之后，仅赁这张唱片，The Jimi Hendrix Experience成为英国摇滚乐坛的传奇，但此时Jimi并不为其国人所识。 这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第15位。

民謠女歌手 Joni Mitchell 於一九七一年發行的經典之作。在六○年代的社運、學運已成過往雲煙後，回歸藝術家身分的Joni Mitchell，以纖細、感性之筆，寫下Blue中連篇美麗的樂章：“My Old Man”描繪無須法律約束就能地老天荒的愛情；“Blue"和“California”則以略帶憂傷的口吻，描繪社運結束後，發現社會仍無改變的惆悵； "The Last Time I Saw Richard"深刻描繪了知識分子的犬儒與失落……清淡如詩的口吻，娓娓道來日常的生活情境，蘊含的卻是極為深刻的社會觀察與生命哲思，充分展現「女性創作歌手第一人」的實力。

Ege Bamyası is the fourth studio album by the German experimental rock band Can which was originally released as an LP in 1972 by United Artists. The album contains the single "Spoon", which charted in the Top 10 in Germany, largely because of its use as the theme of a German TV thriller mini-series called "Das Messer" (The Knife). The success of the single allowed Can to move to a better studio in which they recorded Ege Bamyası. Ege Bamyası was remastered as a hybrid SACD in 2004 which includes a booklet with commentary on the album by former Melody Maker journalist David Stubbs, as well as previously unreleased photos of the band.
