• 100 Greatest Albums
• 150 Greatest Rock Albums
• Abba - ArrivalWidely considered the SWedish foursome's first classic album--and historically important as the first e the now-famous mirror-B logo--1976's ARRIVAL contains three huge hit singles, the dramatic "Money Money Money," the downcast "Knowing Me, Knowing You" and quite possibly the band's finest four minutes, the absolutely perfect pop classic "Dancing Queen,"
• Alanis Morisette - Jagged Little PillJAGGED LITTLE PILL won the 1996 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year and Best Rock Album. "You Oughta Know" won the Grammys for Best Rock Song and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. "You Oughta Know" was also nominated for Song Of The Year, and Alanis Morissette was nominated for Best New Artist
• Albert King - Live WireDespite the fact that the mostly white and stoned audience couldn’t clap in time with a gun held to their head, Albert rises to the occasion with some audience participation(“Let’s everybody get a thing goin’ on here!”) and some absolutely visceral guitar work. The title track alone is worth the price of admission. Those first eight notes, man.. As good as it gets, and damn near a Whitman’s Sampler of every lick Stevie Ray Vaughan ever played. Willie Hines
• Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore EastThe original Fillmore East album is one of the finest live documents of the rock era, capturing the original line-up of one of the 70s' tightest outfits before they Were cruelly robbed of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley. Taken from five 1971 performances at New York's fabled Fillmore East, the extended and effortlessly melodic workouts of 'In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed' and 'Whipping Post' remain definitive recordings. The dual guitar interplay of Duane Allman and Dickey Betts glides effortlessly over the propulsive rhythm section of Oakley and twin drummers Jaimoe and Butch Trucks, while Greg Allman's poWerful blues voice and melodic keyboard work provides the icing on the cake.
• Aretha Franklin - I Never Loved a ManAfter the end of Aretha Franklin's five year stint on Columbia Records (who tried marketing her as a jazz vocalist), she signed on with Atlantic Records. Produced by music biz veteran Jerry Wexler, Franklin's Atlantic debut found her flexing creative muscle and making music that forever altered the course of pop and soul. Accompanying herself on piano throughout, Franklin's poWerful and passionate vocals garnered comparisons to Ray Charles, while her blend of RandB, gospel and jazz rightfully earned her the moniker "Queen Of Soul."
• BB King - Live at the RegalAlong with the Albert King and Allman Brothers titles herein, this is one of the greatest live blues albums ever recorded. Period. A 1964 concert at Chicago’s ansWer to Harlems’ Apollo Theatre, B.B. offers up timeless renditions of such classics as “How Blue Can You Get”(“I’ve been downhearted baby, ever since the day We met”) and “You Upset Me Baby”, and, of course, “SWeet Little Angel”. His voice and guitar are in perfect form, and the band is sympathetic and smokin’! Willie Hines
• Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
• Beatles - OneFor the six years the Beatles Were recording for Capitol Records, the Fab Four ascended to top of the American and British charts an astonishing 27 times. This single-disc compilation brings those hits together in one place to span every phase of the foursome's high demandfluential career. Early Merseybeat-flavored sides like "Love Me Do" (the band's first Stateside hit), "She Loves You," and "I Want To Hold Your Hand" struck a chord early on with hordes of screaming teens. Unfortunately, this found the band temporarily dismissed as mere teen idols despite these numbers coming as a result of the vaunted Lennon/McCartney songwriting partnership
• Beatles - Abby RoadABBEY ROAD, recorded in the summer of 1969, was the last album recorded by the Beatles (LET IT BE was released in 1970, but recorded in early '69).
• Beatles - A Hard Day's Night
• Beatles - Albums
• Beatles - Let It Be
• Beatles - LoveWith LOVE, Cirque du Soleil celebrates the musical legacy of The Beatles Born from a personal friendship and mutual admiration betWeen the late George Harrison and Cirque founder Guy Laliberté, LOVE brings the magic of Cirque du Soleil together with the spirit and passion behind the most beloved rock group of all time to create a vivid, intimate and poWerful entertainment experience.
• Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
• Beatles - Past Masters - Vol 1
• Beatles - Past Masters - Vol 2
• Beatles - Revolver
• Beatles - Rubber Soul
• Beatles - Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
• Beatles - White Album
• Billie Holiday - Lady Sings the Blues
• Bjork - Debut
• Black Eyed Pea - Behind The FrontThe Black Eyed Peas' debut, Behind the Front, may sound thoroughly familiar: like A Tribe Called Quest, they sprout positive, deftly delivered lyrics out of their light jazz, RandB, and funk tracks; like the Roots, this multi-ethnic outfit's three MCs drop science in front of a live band that builds its grooves organically
• Black Sabbath - Paranoid
• Blue Nile - HighWhat can I say? I'm just a jeepster for their love. In these most trying of times, the vulnerable and romantic confessions of Paul Buchanan and Co. are a breath of fresh air, hope and promise. Every married man should listen to "I Would Never" and find a place in their heart for tenderness. God, We need it now more than ever. Willie Hines
• Bob Dylan - Modern Times
• Bob Marley and the Wailers - Natty Dread
• Bob Marley and the Wailers - Exodus Deluxe
• Brendan Perry - Eye of the HunterBrendan Perry's solo debut, Eye of the Hunter, builds on his reputation as Dead Can Dance's meditative, baritone singer/songwriter. Perry's rich vocals and the songs' orchestral-folk arrangements and somber titles give the album an intriguing Gothic/easy listening feel, similar to Scott Walker's darkest Baroque pop. Along with seven original tracks like "Medusa," "Saturday's Child," and "Archangel," Eye of the Hunter also includes a thoughtful cover of Tim Buckley's "I Must Have Been Blind." Though the stately pace of the songs becomes monotono times, Perry's first solo effort is a mature work worthy of his reputation.
• Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
• Buena Vista Social Club St
• Charles Mingus - At Monterey
• Clash - London Calling
• Coldplay - Parachutes
• David Darling - Mundanin Kata
• Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms
• Doors - The Doors
• Duran Duran - Rio
• Eagles - Their Greatest Hits
• Elvis Presley Albums
• Frank Sinatra - Songs for Swingin' Lovers
• Fred McDoWell - I do not Play no Rock and RollFirst of all, where the hell do you think Bonnie Raitt learned to play such sinful slide guitar, and at his feet,no less? And besides, like the Lightnin’ Hopkins and Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee recordings testify, you don’t need no electricity to play and sing the blues. Willie Hines
• Garth Brooks - No Fences
• Guns N Roses - Appetite for Destruction
• Hank Williams - Greatest Hits
• Howlin Wolf - Memphis Days Vol 1Vols. I and II; Thanks to the German label Bear Family, these two discs offer up every pre-Chicago, Sun Records recordings the Wolf made. This is some raw and unfettered stuff, and after repeated listening, you begin to realize just how many signature Wolf songs Were “borroWed” by Led Zeppelin.; borroWed, my ass, Page and Plant oWe his estate some serious money
• Howlin Wolf - Memphis Days Vol 2
• Immortal Sons of Northern DarknessOk, I know, ...what the hell is a Black Metal band on the Nuclear Blast label doing on this list? It's simple really. This is the best metal album since Metallica's Ride the Lightning, period. Brutally produced by Hypocricy's Peter Tagtgren, this CD packs a sonic wallop that is relentless. Songs like "One by One" and especially the title track are all the more amazing when you realize that it's just a trio! Dark and grim to be sure, but the closer "Beyond the North Waves" is majestic and sWeeping in its scope. Big fun! Willie Hines
• Jet Red - Jet RedThis album rocks. No I'm not biased because I'm a friend of Willie Hines. I first saw and met Willie in 1980/81 as a member of the Central Calif. band called "The Lights". They Were good and Willie new then how to put on a show. With Jet Red, he got better and matured as a performer and a song writer. This album is a must have. I'm a sucker for simple structured songs and one of my favorite songs on the CD is "You're Not The Only One". A cross betWeen New England's "Don't Ever Wanna Lost Ya" and The Babys "Turn And Walk Away" and then add some original flavor to it as Well, makes you miss the melodic rock era. [...] A great album to add to your collection. You won't be disappointed
• Jimi Hendrix - Experience
• John Hassel - Dream Theory in Mayaya
• John Lee Hooker - Urban Blues
• John Lennon - Imagine
• Joy Division - Closer
• King Sunny - Ade Juju Music
• Led Zeppeln - Led Zeppelin IV
• Le Mystere Des Voix BulgaresThe Bulgarian’s Womens Choir; Start with microtonal vocal overtones, add a battery of women’s voices, add just the right amount of reverb, and hear what happens. Magic. Willie Hines
• Libertines - Libertines
• Lullaby For the Moon - Various Artists
• Madonna - Like a Prayer
• Michael Jackson - Off the Wall
• Michael Jackson - Thriller
• Mott the Hoople LiveMott The Hoople - Live (30th Anniversary edition): At long last! Columbia's 1974 release was so truncated; it was a bit of a tease. No "Marionette", no "Walking With a Mountain" with the incredible Ariel Bender extended guitar solo, no "Golden Age of Rock N' Roll"?!! Well, kiddies, it's all here now, as a double disc set extending both the Broadway and Hammersmith shows. Ah, those glorious days of British glam rock. Splendid liner notes by Brian May of Queen (They opened that tour, don't you know) and kudos to Angel Air records for all the wonderful M7H reissues to! Willie Hines
• Nirvana - Nevermind
• Oasis - Definetly Maybe
• Oasis - What's the Story
• Osbisa WoyayaThis African “rock” band opened for Humble Pie and Edgar Winter one year at Winterland in San Francisco back in 1972 when their second album had just been released. I was blown away, and I suppose it was my first true experience of what is now considered “World Music”. I was 17 at the time and called them an “African Santana”, and looking back, I was right.And, like Santana, they Were responsible for bringing international flavors to the rock audiences of America. I mention both albums because they’re available on one cd as We speak, and are Well worth your time. Willie Hines
• Peter Gabriel -  Passion - The Last Temptation of Christ
• Pink Floyd - Dark Side
• Pixies - Dolittle
• Prince - Musicology
• Prodigy - Fat of the Land
• Queen - A Night at the Opera
• Radiohead - OK Computer
• Radiohead - The Bends
• Rare Albums
• REM - Automatic for the People
• Robert Johnson - The Complete RecordingsHey, I don’t care if you settle for “King Of The Delta Blues” recordings, just get some. I mean, c’mon people, he sold his soul to the devil for your sorry ass, y’know? One listen to “Hellhound On My Trail”, and you’ll know why Clapton saw God. Willie Hines
• Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street
• Rolling Stones - Let it Bleed
• Rosenfole - Medieval Songs for NorwayJan Garbarek and Agnes Buen Garnas:Rosenfole-Medieval Songs From Norway; Jazz/New Age soprano saxophonist teams up with Scandinavian vocalist to produce a rich and lush collection of traditional folk themes from the land of the ice and snow. Soft and lilting synthesizers and light percussion add to the mix, along with that luscious ECM reverb. Ethereal and dreamlike(is that redundant?), one listen and We have yourself transported to the fjords, feeling just a bit like Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music
• Ryan Adams - Love is HellDespite the hyperbole surrounding this guy, he delivers more than he disappoints (unlike his friends and contemporaries The White Stripes). From the rave-up of "This Is It" to the somber reptiles of the title track, this is serious stuff. I wish I'd written "Burning Photographs", frankly. To the uninitiated, Ryan's a great link betWeen Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen, except that he drinks more than both of them. A man after my own. Willie Hines
• Ryan Adams - Rock N RollDespite the hyperbole surrounding this guy, he delivers more than he disappoints (unlike his friends and contemporaries The White Stripes). From the rave-up of "This Is It" to the somber reptiles of the title track, this is serious stuff. I wish I'd written "Burning Photographs", frankly. To the uninitiated, Ryan's a great link betWeen Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen, except that he drinks more than both of them. A man after my own. Willie Hines
• Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bullocks
• Simon and Garfunkle - Bridge Over Troubled Water
• Smiths - The Queen is Dead
• Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas FloodQuite possibly the only electric blues/rock guitarist to come near rivalling Jimi Hendrix, Vaughan, who, like Hendrix, died tragically, was so good he was ridiculous. He was lacking in really good material, and his own compositions Were mainly guitar workouts, such as "Rude Mood," although he shows great feeling on the instrumental "Lenny." He is much more comfortable singing non-originals, and on this album he covers Buddy Guy's "Mary Had A Little Lamb" and Howlin Wolf's "Tell Me," but the listener is still waiting for the bit where the guitar solo comes in. Poor Double Trouble barely get a look in
• Stone Roses - The Stone RosesManchester's most likely to, who escaped independent status after a lengthy court battle, signed to Geffen and then promptly disappeared for five years. They came back, and then Went pop. Quite simply, their debut album is a superlative record. A Byrds-like listlessness caused listeners to swoon in wonder and slip quietly beneath the surface. 'Waterfall' and 'She Bangs The Drums' Were sublime and quietly brilliant, 'I Wanna Be Adored' teased with its epic intro, and, of course, created incredible and impossible pressure for that all-important second album. A classic album, already seen as one of the finest records of the '80s
• Taj Mahal - Taj Mahal
• Thelonious Monk - John Coltrane At The CarnegieUnbelievable! A long lost 1957 concert falling somewhere betWeen Trane’s departure from Mile’s band and forming his own, this is a jazz lovers dream come true. So little documentation of these two giants playing together exists, and this performance captures them at an artistic peak. Monk and Trane aren’t just pushing each others envelope, they’re having a ball! Sonic purists should seek out the Mosaic vinyl LP version for all that glorious analog warmth. Willie Hines
• Fathers and Sons - Various
• U2 - The Joshua TreeAfter their arresting appearance at Live Aid, U2 album sales Went berserk across the globe, and the world waited impatiently for their next release. The Joshua Tree arrived, and fans Were not disappointed. There are few Weaknesses, musical or lyrical, in this album. The pure poWer of the music and patent honesty of the lyrics steer the band clear of whimsy and self-indulgence. The anguish and questioning is shot through with faith as they chant and stomp and batter their way through instant classics such as 'Still Haven't Found What I'm Find', 'Where The Streets Have No Name' and 'With Or Without You', leaving the listener bruised but elated
• Velvet Underground - and Nico Deluxe
• Verve - Urban Hymns
• White Stripes - Elephant
• Willie Hines - YearightThe track And So It Goes starts off this gem, and you are hooked with no fishing pole necessary. Then, that is only the beginning of an hour long poWer pop experience. Songs like How Will They Take Me Now and Danielle let you into a very personal side to Willie Hines. The U2 influenced Half Way Round The World, and the very Zepplin-esque epic
