Are You Experienced may have more well known songs, but this is the album where Jimi was really allowed to let loose in the studio. His finest creation.

Yes I love Born to Run, but his album is more musically adventurous and in its own way, more epic. A West Side Story-style presentation of New York as it was in the early '70s.

Tommy may have been the album that introduced the rock opera, but this is the album that perfected it. Pete Townsend has been on record as saying he will never be able to top this.

There are many Chuck Berry compilations, but this one, to me, is the best. Every song you ever need to understand Chuck Berry- and by extension, all of rock and roll- is on this record.

A record that has been neglected in the wake of Exile on Main Street, but an absolute essential. One of the only Stones albums with absolutely no weak tracks.
