Bob Marley & The Wailers genre: Reggae
release date 1977-01-01 publisher: Island
Bob Marley & The Wailers: Bob Marley (vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar, percussion); Aston "Family Man" Barrett (guitar, bass instrument, percussion); Julian "Junior" Marvin (guitar); Tyrone Downie (keyboards, percussion, background vocals); Carlton Barrett (drums, percussion); Alvin "Seeco" Patterson (percussion); Judy Mowatt, Marcia Griffiths, Rita Marley (background vocals). Marley's consistent (certainly by reggae standards) album career has proffered many great songbooks, of which EXODUS is just one good example. The singles "One Love" and "Jamming" will be familiar to anyone with even a passing acquaintance with Jamaican music, but just as vital are the touchingly vulnerable love song "Waiting In Vain," the title track, and the splendid "Guiltiness." This was the first album to feature Junior Murvin on guitar, while the expressive use of horns adds new texture to the established quality of the Wailers' backing. Like most of his work, vital for a comprehensive collection.

John Lennon genre: Rock
release date 2002-11-05 publisher: Capitol
John Lennon的又一张经典之作,值得收藏。 这张专辑是列侬solo生涯的一个转折点。从此,他削减了对音乐的艺术性探索,整体走向逐渐靠向当时的主流音乐形态。不少人批评他的“不思进取”,虽然这只是一家之言,但1973年到1975年的间的几张专辑确实未能带来太多的惊喜。在我看来,尽管专辑整体并不出彩,但第四首作品《One Day》,仍然是难得的经典之作。列侬再次展现了其妖邪诡异的唱腔,让人回想起披头士时期的《I'm The Walrus》。 《Mind Games》这首曲目作为列侬的标志性作品之一,原名为《Make Love Not War》,当年被认为是《Cold Turkey》的续章。这首作品曲风明快,琅琅上口,被后人翻唱至今。值得一提的是,专辑的第六首曲目名中,出现了一个前所未有的新单词“Nutopian”,在歌词册的内页部分,亦有一段关于此的宣言。这个单词的定义仍然为一种精神上的国度,类似于“Utopia”(乌托邦)。 有趣的是,《Nutopian International Anthem》作为“Nutopia”的国歌,只有短短几秒钟时间。

John Lennon genre: Rock
release date 1990-10-25 publisher: Capitol
John Lennon《Walls and Bridges》这专辑显示成熟的一面,并且在他的分离之后很多的痛苦和折磨。这张专辑给人的感觉是悲剧和提醒,因为他们自己处于脆弱的心情,产生了灵感,才能把这张《Walls and Bridges》专辑创作完成。在 "Surprise, Surprise","Steel and Glass"和"and "Nobody Loves You"是比较突出的例子。 但是对更多的乐观的态度的"Whatever Gets You Through the Night"包含相似的主题。 "#9 Dream"提出将来的悲剧的神秘的预感。 这些歌曲形成了对生产幻想加倍,也描述了成熟和满足的强烈的悲哀。如果你用你的心去听,你将发现在这张专辑里面的奥秘。

Sanctuary

The J. Geils Band genre: Rock
release date 1978-01-01 publisher: EMI
After the release of 1977's Monkey Island, the J. Geils Band severed ties with Atlantic and signed a fresh deal with EMI Records. The band's tenure with Atlantic only yielded a few successes, and on paper, teaming up with producer Joe Wissert, the man responsible for many of Earth, Wind & Fire's and Boz Scaggs' biggest hits, seemed like an odd choice. However, Sanctuary was a rebirth of sorts for the sextet: Wissert crystallized the band's attack, working off their leaner songwriting and simplifying their arrangements. Keeping their boogie-woogie bar band attack intact, Peter Wolf and Seth Justman delivered first-rate material, including the down and dirty opener "I Could Hurt You," the sublime title track and the lovely "One Last Kiss," which cracked the Top 40 in early 1978. The Stevie Wonder-ish "Take It Back," also a mild hit, predicted the commercial direction the band took on Freeze Frame three years later. The beautiful "Teresa," a heartbreaking ballad executed with help of a simple vocal/piano arrangement courtesy of the Wolf/Justman team, and "Wild Man,," which sounds like a leftover from the Atlantic years, are also highlights. Sanctuary's final song, the rollicking, Magic Dick-driven "Just Can't Stop Me," encapsulates everything magical (pun intended) and soulful about this band. With its effortless playing and a breakdown that'll have you on the edge of your seat, it served as the band's call into battle for the Freeze Frame tour. The Razor & Tie reissue features covers of "I Do" and "Land of a Thousand Dances" from the band's live record Showtime, recorded at the height of their Freeze Frame period. "Land of a Thousand Dances" in particular reminds you just how incredible these guys were live.

1977年的唱片《The Stranger/陌生人》是比利·乔的一次重大突破,也是他的备受众多乐评家推崇的首要代表作。此前四张专辑在排行榜上只是不愠不火,《陌生人》则连续六周蝉联专辑榜亚军头衔,在《滚石》评出的历代500张最强专辑中排名第67位。在这张唱片中,比利·乔找着了成功的秘方:“一瓶红葡萄酒”,“一瓶白葡萄酒”,再加一双锋利得能够洞穿纽约街头寻常生活的眼睛。这个钢琴人借马丁·斯科西斯式的幽默感及对众生的悲悯,完善了他的叙事天赋。无论是在"Movin´ Out(Anthony´s Song)"中歌唱一个落魄的意大利裔妓女,还是"She´s Always a Woman to Me"中的祸水红颜,抑或是"Scenes From an Italian Restaurant"中被诅咒的长岛的贫贱夫妻Brenda与Eddie,都见证了他的这份博大的关怀。与此同时,他以一首格莱美奖得主歌曲"Just the Way You Are"(为其第一任妻子兼经纪人伊利莎白而作)登入流行榜,这首歌也成为了婚礼乐队的常演曲
