David Bowie genre: Rock
release date 1970-11-04 publisher: Virgin Records Us
引起轰动的1971年David的第三张专辑《The Man Who Sold The World》,封面上David梳着长长的卷发,黑色长靴,丝缎长裙,胸口低开,只用两枚褡扣系住。这个美丽而在当时看来惊世骇俗的造型开创了真正的 Glam摇滚的时代,David一共用了三种形象出现,一种是封面长发长裙的,一种是早期《Space Oddity》卷发形象,另一种是贝蕾帽,金发温柔地垂下,灰蓝色紧身呢子外套。 这是David短暂而迷妙的时期,犹如他专辑的音乐风格。一个花花公子的浅吟低唱,带着点玩世不恭,一点物质,一点讽刺,一点慵懒与诱惑,模糊了性别的。音乐相对那个时代是复杂的,正处在音乐从早期披头士似的情歌中变质,并开始热中于各种音响实验的阶段,那些歌曲中经常充斥着一些不和谐与突兀。 但总的来说,《The Man Who Sold The World》专辑自身的风格是比较统一的,David有些妩媚的嗓音和邪气的歌曲加上晦涩又有些放纵古怪的歌词融合成一种美妙的风格,独特的,只属于David自己的音乐。

The Stooges genre: Rock
release date 2005-08-16 publisher: Elektra / Wea
Long before the raw power of punk icon Iggy Pop became legend, his first incarnation as Iggy Stooge of proto-punk trailblazers The Stooges roared into being. The essence of punk years before the genre existed, The Stooges' furious music was a howling, visceral, fuzztone-drenched, and unprecedented vortex of sound, as evidenced on their revolutionary self-titled, John Cale-produced 1969 debut album. Their bracing follow-up, Fun House portrayed their evolution into a fiercer, stronger band with Iggy's primal vocals and mad brilliance more potent than ever. Each immortal album is now remastered and twice as amazing with a second disc of rarities and previously unreleased tracks.

Creedence Clearwater Revival genre: Rock
release date 1970-12-15 publisher: Fantasy
Creedence Clearwater Revival(克里登斯清水复兴合唱团,简称CCR),是20世纪60年代到70年代最受喜爱的一支超级摇滚乐队。他们的音乐植根于美国南方的民间音乐,早年的歌曲带有强烈的布鲁斯色彩,对Lynyrd Skynyrd, Sea Level, Dixie Chicken, ZZ Top等乐队有重要影响。 CCR的灵魂人物是John Fogerty,1959年,还是高中生的John与两个朋友Doug Clifford和Stu Cook一起组建了名为The Blue Velvets(蓝色丝绒)的乐队并开始在学生舞会中演出。后来John Fogerty的堂兄Tom Fogerty加入乐队,乐队改名为Tom Fogerty and the Blue Velvets并录制了一些单曲,逐渐有了些名气。 1963年,乐队签约Fantasy唱片公司并改名为The Golliwogs(丑玩偶),但是唱片公司为迎合当时披头士带来的英伦入侵热潮(British Invasion),要求乐队模仿英国乐队的风格。John在回忆那段日子时说:“The Golliwogs的每一首歌都显得那么不自然,我总是要考虑公司的意见,我觉得像是被捆绑住了。” 1967年底,乐队的机遇终于到了。 Fantasy唱片公司易主,被John的好朋友,原公司的业务主任Saul Zaentz所收购。自此乐队与公司签订了新的唱片合约并改名为“Creedence Clearwater Revival(克理登斯清水复兴乐队)”。对此解释为:“Clearwater”符合当时提倡“回归自然”的社会潮流,“Revival(复兴)”表示乐队的决心和勇气,而“Creedence”则是取自乐队成员Tom一个朋友的教名。Saul告诉John,他要把乐队培养成和The Grateful Dead一样成功的乐队。 1968年乐队发行了第一张同名专辑《Creedence Clearwater Revival》, 专辑中一首改编自Dale Hawkins的经典老歌《Suzie Q》为小伙子们奏响了成功的序曲。John将这首歌重新编曲,改编后全曲长达9分钟,后半段近4分钟的器乐演奏融入了旧金山当地摇滚乐的迷幻风格, John赋予这首老歌新的生命。这首歌率先在KWBR电台播出后,得到了当地DJ们的肯定,并将这首歌在加州的许多电台音乐节目中播出,很快就传遍了整个西海岸地区。乐队的现场演出也人满为患,俱乐部里挤满了歌迷。这张专辑进入了排行榜第52位,并取得了金唱片的销量,不久又蹿生到了第11位。乐队在 1969年先后发行了三张专辑,专辑的创作和制作的大部分工作都是John一个人完成的,他卓越的音乐天分和创作才华得到了充分的体现,也进一步巩固了他在乐队的核心地位。乐队第二张专辑《Bayou Country》刚发行不久就创下了百万销量,成为白金唱盘。这张融合了节奏布鲁斯、乡村摇滚、西海岸摇滚风格的专辑了冲入排行榜的第7位,其中单曲《 Proud Mary 》位列单曲榜第2名。乐队从第三张专辑《 Green River 》开始在音乐上逐渐摆脱了当地的迷幻摇滚乐的影响,John似乎对乡村音乐、传统布鲁斯音乐等美国南部地区的音乐风格情有独钟,这使得乐队在当地(旧金山地区)显得尤为不同,更像是一支南方乐队,他们的音乐充满了密西西比州的田园气息。《 Green River 》同上一张专辑一样取得了排行榜第7位的成绩。 CCR在短短的一年时间里迅速走红,1969年8月他们受邀参加了盛大的 Woodstock音乐节。当时他们可能还不敢相信,很多乐迷都是特意为看他们演出而来的,但是乐队谢绝了在音乐节的记录片中出现。年底乐队延续他们的强劲势头,第四张专辑《Willy and the poor boys》排在专辑榜第3位并在歌词方面有所突破。单曲《Down on the corner》和Fortunate Son 》乐队第一次涉及了政治问题,表达了对越战的不满,这也顺应了当时的反战潮流,这两首单曲分列单曲榜No.3、No.14。而在歌曲《It Came Out Of the Sky》中乐队则公开抨击了总统Richard Nixon。John 和他的伙伴们近十年的努力换来了现在的成绩,但成功似乎来得太过突然,这时John与乐队其他成员之间逐渐出现了一些分歧。在录制单曲《Down on the corner》时乐队其他成员就认为这首歌根本就不是摇滚乐。 CCR在1970年4月份开始了第一次欧洲巡演。9月,乐队在巡演结束后发行了被认为最优秀的一张专辑《Cosmo’s factory》,上市三周就取得了300万张的白金销量,该专辑成为了英、美两地排行榜的双料冠军。其中单曲《Travelin’ band》和《Who will stop the rain》分别位列单曲榜NO.2和NO.13。乐队此时已到达了事业的顶峰,随着披头士乐队的解散CCR成为了当时最为炙手可热的明星乐队之一。同年底乐队又发行第6张专辑《Pendulum》同样取得了白金销量。尽管如此,乐队成员的内部关系却急剧恶化。Tom并不想待在弟弟的光环下,因此一直闷闷不乐。而另一成员Stu也听到了关于“他不过是John的累赘”之类的传言,同时队员们也因为收入的分配不公对John有所抱怨。乐队在推出了《Have you ever seen the rain》和 《Hey Tonight》两首单曲后,Tom Fogerty终于对外宣布离队单飞的消息,理由是音乐理想不合,其实大家都知道Tom不甘心在乐队中配角的位置。接下来,乐队就以三人组合的形式展开贯穿全美、欧洲、新西兰、澳洲及日本的巡回演出。 CCR的歌迷们仍然给予乐队足够的支持,漫长的全球巡演圆满收场。乐队开始了新专辑的筹备,实际上此前的6张专辑完全是由John一人负责创作并制作完成的,这时Stu和Doug都要求在新专辑中加入自己的作品并参与制作部分,他们认为在乐队里一直没有得到足够的尊重。于是1972年乐队发行了他们的第7张专辑,专辑名字很耐人寻味 ——《Mardi Gras》(《狂欢节的最后一天》),这张乐队史上最差的专辑也成为了CCR的最后一张专辑。最终,乐队在完成了7月份的欧洲巡演后,于1972年10月 16日正式对外宣布了解散的消息。 Tom Fogerty在离开乐队后的个人事业很平淡,他曾经加入过Jerry Garcia的个人乐队,之后又组建了一支名位“Ruby”的乐队并发行了三张专辑,1990年9月6日Tom Fogerty死于艾滋病。Stu Cook 和 Doug Clifford先后加入过“The Don Harrison Band”和“Southern Pacific”两支乐队。1995年,两人联合几位乐手重组了CCR乐队,他们在美国各地的演出中演唱CCR的老歌并发行过一张演唱会专辑。 乐队的提前解散使之与公司签定的唱片合约无法完成,因此作为CCR乐队的经理人John Fogerty陷入了与Fantasy唱片公司的合同纠纷中。直到80年代初John转投Warner Brothers旗下后才再次迎来辉煌,凭借专辑《Blue Moon Swamp》获得了第40界葛莱美最佳摇滚专辑。 1993年Creedence Clearwater Revival乐队入选摇滚名人堂。

Slow Train Coming is singer-songwriter Bob Dylan's 19th studio album, released by Columbia Records in August 1979. It was the artist's first effort since becoming a born-again Christian, and all of the songs either express his strong personal faith, or stress the importance of Christian teachings and philosophy. The evangelical nature of the record alienated many of Dylan's existing fans; at the same time, many Christians were drawn into his fan base. Slow Train Coming was listed at #16 in the 2001 book CCM Presents: The 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music.

Joni Mitchell genre: Folk
release date 1974-01-01 publisher: Elektra / Wea
Painter-turned-folksinger Joni Mitchell had slipped stark saxophone solos into her prior album, For the Roses, and her singing had often hinted at a capacity for bluesier fare than her guitar- and piano-framed confessional ballads offered. None of those hints prepared fans for this sudden, expansive shift toward a much larger canvas--a sleeker, orchestrated pop style pulsing with jazz elements. Court & Spark found Mitchell casting aside her earth mother affectations and revealing herself as the thoroughly modern, thoroughly complicated woman she is; the songs sustained familiar preoccupations with relationships but replaced courtly settings and naturalistic imagery with recognizably modern locales. Deeply romantic, constantly questioning, classic tracks like the title song, "Help Me," "Free Man in Paris," "Same Situation," and "Raised on Robbery" display a more liberated Mitchell, ready to rumble with unbridled electric guitars (guest Robbie Robertson on "...Robbery"), even willing to poke fun at her own oh-so-sensitive rep with a hip cover of Annie Ross´s hilarious "Twisted."

Neil Young genre: Rock

Comes a Time is the ninth album by Neil Young, and a return to the country/folk rock sound of Harvest (1972). "Comes a Time" is also the title song and a single release from this album. Originally, it had started out as a solo record, but when Young played it for Reprise executives they asked him if he wouldn't mind adding rhythm tracks to what he already had. Young agreed to this, and the end product was the Comes a Time that was released. Two songs had Young backed by Crazy Horse, resulting in them having a rawer sound than the smooth production of the rest of the album. "Human Highway" was written several years prior to its release, and originally presented to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in 1974 for a proposed studio album by the group which never came to be. Much of the album features harmony vocals from Nicolette Larson. She also shares lead with Young on "Motorcycle Mama".

介70年代风靡一时的美国南方摇滚乐队,最出名的特点是他们的吉他合奏。可惜乐队的灵魂人物Ronnie Van Zant在1977年因空难去世。乐队从此一蹶不振。这是他们的第一张专辑,专辑的名字其实就是乐队的名字Lynyrd Skynyrd,但由于这两个词没人认识(除了他们自己),所以副标题是"pronounced 'l?h-'nérd 'skin-'nérd",解释了这两个词的发音,一般都用这个幽默的副标题来称呼这张专辑。专辑中最后一首歌曲"Free Bird"是摇滚历史上最著名的单曲之一,以精彩高难的吉他solo闻名于世(入选摇滚历史上最伟大的100首吉他solo,排第23位,还入选了滚石杂志评选的最伟大的500首歌),更要命的是他们的主音吉他不止一把,这首歌中最复杂的部分是由三把吉他一起高速?出来的,让人听了不得不叹服。本专辑在滚石杂志评出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第401位。在此发布一个增加了5首Bonus的纪念版
