Synopsis
(Omnibus Press). In the days when pop and rock were defined by a single, it was albums that gave bands a chance to make their big musical statement. The results were often unremarkable, but from time to time along came a truly great album that used the format perfectly, caught the zeitgeist, and ultimately changed the musical landscape forever. Now, with revealing notes by some of today's finest music writers 25 Albums That Rocked the World celebrated some of the legendary albums that became cultural landmarks as well as treasured musical touchtones for generations of rock fans. Featured albums include: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band * Blonde on Blonde * Catch a Fire * Never Mind the Bollocks * OK Computer * and more.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. During the 1990s Omnibus Press published a series of books under the genetic title "The Complete Guide to the Music Of.". They were written by experienced rock critics whose brief was not just to be objective about the music but also to offer background information about the circumstances in which the album was recorded. In the end Omnibus published almost 50 books on artists ranging from Frank Sinatra to The Sex Pistols. From Elvis Presley's Sun Sessions to Radiohead's OK Computer, here is the very best of rock and pop music of the Twentieth Century. A consumer's critical guide to the music, enabling the reader to select the very best of an artist's repertoire before making a buying decision. Seller Inventory # LU-9781847726261
