Got vinyl? No record collection is complete without Albums, a definitive look at over 300 of the most important albums of the past 50 years—the best sellers as well as the critic's darlings. This infinitely entertaining, informative book chronicles the popular music album in all genres, from pop and rock to jazz and hip-hop. More than just a 'best of' collection, Albums showcases individual recordings and presents them in a wider, more historical context, complete with timelines, more than 800 color photographs, album art, liner notes, studio stories and much more. Anyone who likes music is sure to agree, this book rocks.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Big Hit
I bought this for my husband for christmas and he loves it. He is having so much fun reading it and telling me everything that is in the book. This was a recommendation from Amazon and it was a BIG HIT. I love how Amazon recommends items that are related to things you have purchased in the past. You find all sorts of things you never knew were out there. This book is GREAT for any music lover.
Rating: - Beautifully compiled
If you are a music lover and researcher like I am, you will enjoy this book. It is beautifully compiled with great art direction, photos, and well written text. It is well researched and the choices cover both the expected (Nirvana's "Nevermind", The Beatles "Revolver") to the unexpected (Johnny Mathis "Greatest Hits").
Definitely recommended for both the serious and casual music fan.
Rating:  - Great Book for Music Lovers!
This book is truly beautiful to look at, and is great to browse through while you're listening to a new album. I like the colorful and important treatment it gives to classics and unsung masterworks from many different eras.
