Music-Online-Store - Classic Rock

Editorial Review: Queen brought a whole new meaning to the phrase over the top. While rock & roll flamboyance stretched back at least as far as Little Richard, Freddie Mercury continued to camp it up, taking little seriously and smirking at the music's growing pretensions while partaking in them no small bit.

"Queen - The Platinum Collection: Greatest Hits I, II & III"
list: $29.98 - our price: $23.99
by Hollywood Records
Audio CD (24 September, 2002)
(47 reviews)

Editorial Review: What once seemed Queen's greatest liabilities--a preening flamboyance and pompous, overwrought theatricality--have ironically become their most enduring charms in a gray, postmodern pop-music landscape.

12 X 5
list: $18.98 - our price: $14.99
by Abkco
Audio CD (03 September, 2002)
(18 reviews)

Customer Review: * * * *: "12X5" was the Rolling Stones' second LP in less than six months. The bands' orginal songs are far from bad, but they aren't all that memorable either,

1962-1966
list: $34.98 - our price: $31.49
by Capitol
Audio CD (05 October, 1993)
(160 reviews)

Editorial Review: The closest the Beatles came to a greatest hits package, this document of the early part of their career features hit singles (in chronological order) and selected album tracks, running from "Love Me Do" through the groundbreaking Rubber Soul and Revolveralbums.

1967-1970

by Capitol

4 Way Street
list: $27.98 - our price: $24.99
by Atlantic
Audio CD (23 June, 1992)
(49 reviews)

Editorial Review: This is one of those albums where you'll want to cherry-pick favorites. Recorded live when the supergroup was at its commercial zenith, it's sloppy in spots where precision is called for. And the hyperbolic counterculture rants sound a bit silly these days (Bellows Stills: "Jesus Christ was the first nonviolent revolutionary!

A Day At The Races [+2 Remixed]
list: $13.98 - our price: $13.98
by Hollywood Records
Audio CD (05 March, 1991)
(61 reviews)

Editorial Review: Both regal and raunchy, Queen was at the height of its powers in themid-70s, riding the soaring vocals of Freddie Mercury, the ringing guitar crunchof Brian May and the band's shameless theatrical flourishes.

A Hard Day's Night (1964 Film)
list: $18.98 - our price: $13.99
by Capitol
Audio CD (25 October, 1990)
(177 reviews)

Editorial Review: Strummmmm! That dramatic guitar chord that kicks of A Hard Day's Night (album, song, movie) still jumps right out at you, slaps you in the face, and jump-starts your heart. And you know what?Both the music and the film are still as crisp and lively as they were in 1964.

A Kind of Magic

by Hollywood Records
Audio CD (17 June, 1991)
(55 reviews)

Customer Review: Not only one of the best albums I own but.....: is one of the best soundtracks in the world.Queen's A Kind Of Magic serves as the soundtrack/score to the 1986 sci-fi classic film Highlander.O

A Momentary Lapse of Reason
list: $13.98 - our price: $12.99
Audio CD (16 December, 1997)
(224 reviews)

Editorial Review: Though many predicted that Roger Waters's acrimonious split with the band after 1983's aptly named Final Cut would ultimately spell the end of Pink Floyd, the remaining band members confounded pundits by extending their status as classic rock's most ponderous dinosaurs into the 1990s and beyond.

A Night at the Opera [Hollywood]
list: $13.98 - our price: $12.99
by Hollywood Records
Audio CD (03 September, 1991)
(124 reviews)

Editorial Review: Nothing succeeds like excess--at least that's the case with Queen's breakthrough classic, A Night at the Opera. On one level, the title is a reference to the band's operatic pretensions, best in evidence here on the classic "Bohemian Rhapsody,"

A Quick One (Happy Jack)
list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99
Audio CD (20 June, 1995)
(38 reviews)

Editorial Review: The Who's second album is a mite inconsistent, not least because allfour members were encouraged by a business deal to churn out songs. A QuickOne nonetheless manages several Who classics, notably "A Quick OneWhile He's Away,"

A Saucerful of Secrets
list: $17.98 - our price: $13.99
by Capitol
Audio CD (25 October, 1990)
(93 reviews)

Editorial Review: A Saucerful of Secrets is an uneven album that could glibly be called Pink Floyd's sophomore jinx, though it's a bit more complicated than that. The problems behind the band's second outing can be summed up in two words: Syd Barrett.

Abbey Road
list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49
by Capitol
Audio CD (25 October, 1990)
(747 reviews)

Editorial Review: The Beatles' last days as a band were as productive as any major pop phenomenon that was about to split. After recording the ragged-but-right Let It Be, the group held on for this ambitious effort, an album that was to become their best-selling.

Aftermath (UK)

Audio CD (27 August, 2002)

Customer Review: Finally the UK version and remastered to top it off!: First let me say that I do not have an SACD player but the remastering is still an improvement over the original disks.

Aftermath

by Abkco
Audio CD (27 August, 2002)
(19 reviews)

Customer Review: THE STONES ARE COMING INTO THEIR OWN: Aftermath is one of my favorite Rolling Stones albums. It was a landmark album for the band as it was the first Rolling Stones album to consist of all original Jagger/Richards material.

American Prayer
list: $17.98 - our price: $13.99
by Elektra
Audio CD (23 May, 1995)
(78 reviews)

Editorial Review: The Doors recorded six studio albums with Jim Morrison as their singer from 1967 to 1971, hitting the charts with a series of pop songs that were at least as good as Tommy James and the Shondells. On their albums,

Animals
list: $17.98 - our price: $13.99
by Capitol
Audio CD (25 April, 2000)
(361 reviews)

Editorial Review: Although not in the same vein as the deliciously hallucinogenic earlier Floyd works such as Ummagumma and Dark Side of the Moon, Animals is innovative and musically diverse in its own right. Inspired in part by George Orwell's political fable Animal Farm,

Anthology 1
list: $34.98 - our price: $31.49
by Capitol
Audio CD (21 November, 1995)
(84 reviews)

Editorial Review: This is the first release in a three-part series that essentially amounted to the three surviving Beatles officially sanctioning the release of tracks that had been bootlegged for years. Thus, you get some of their earliest recordings as teens;

Anthology 2
list: $34.98 - our price: $31.49
by Capitol
Audio CD (19 March, 1996)
(72 reviews)

Editorial Review: The most anticipated of the Anthology series, this disc covers what was arguably the Fab Four's most intensely creative period ('65-'67) when they single-handedly changed the course of popular music. Anthology 2 doesn't disappoint.

Anthology 3
list: $34.98 - our price: $31.49
by Capitol
Audio CD (29 October, 1996)
(87 reviews)

Editorial Review: From the White Album to the end, the last days of the Beatles weren't smooth, which made the fact that they still produced some astonishing music all the more remarkable. In abbreviated form, "What's the New Mary Jane" is finally issued here,

Atom Heart Mother

Audio CD (25 October, 1990)

by Sanctuary Records
Audio CD (07 October, 2003)
(71 reviews)

Editorial Review: "Have you ever had a rock that just keeps on rolling/ Ever seen a train coming down the track" Ian Gillan deadpans on the first song off Bananas. This tune gives you every single 1970s hard rock clich&#

BBC Sessions
list: $24.98 - our price: $22.99
by Atlantic
Audio CD (18 November, 1997)
(101 reviews)

Editorial Review: Frequently bootlegged and now digitally remastered by Jimmy Page, these tapes capture a 25-month (1969 to 1971) arc in which Zep's sound grew to encompass the speed rush and jazz/blues festival stuff of their 1969 debut,

Beatles for Sale
list: $18.98 - our price: $13.99
by Capitol
Audio CD (25 October, 1990)
(164 reviews)

Editorial Review: Banged out in a hurry for the 1964 Christmas market, Beatles for Sale sometimes sounds it, loaded with ill-conceived covers and some of John Lennon's most self-loathing lyrics. On the other hand, the people doing the banging-out were the Beatles,

Customer Review: Get Down: Don't get me wrong-prime Rolling Stones is absolutely some of the best rock music you can buy-but "Beggars Banquet" is not my favorite Stones album.

Customer Review: Better Than the Box Set: If your collection has room for only one Doors album, this Canadian 2-CD set wins hands down. Rhino released The Very Best of the Doors a couple months ago with the same cover art,

(8 reviews)

Customer Review: A Docile Temperament Prone to Slight Paranoia.: We'll start off with a little metaphorical babble, yes? Between the Buttons (1967) is like studying a high-speed chase in slow motion on a crackled old tape: it's blurred and distorted and plays like a hallucination [LSD's influence,

by Virgin Records
Audio CD (26 July, 1994)

Customer Review: Classic Stones, sadly neglected.: Nay-sayers be damned! "Black and Blue" is a great Stones album, and an interesting document of the band's mid-70s transition.

CD Singles Collection
list: $203.99 - our price: $203.99
Audio CD (15 July, 1999)
(5 reviews)

Customer Review: Thrilled, but it's expensive: The Beatles SINGLES COLLECTION is a very pricey set of the 22 British singles. Each of the 22 discs is comprised of the two songs from the corresponding original 45 rpm single along with the British-single artwork.

Coda

by Atlantic
Audio CD (16 August, 1994)
(78 reviews)

Editorial Review: Coda, released in 1982 after the breakup of the band, was the result of a trawl through the studio archives in search of leftover material. In fact, they had already used up almost all of the good stuff;

Editorial Review: As Basil Bunting wrote about Ezra Pound's Cantos, "There are the Alps... you will have to go a long way round/if you want to avoid them." Led Zeppelin's work is the central fact of 1970s rock & roll;

Customer Review: 5 stars for content, 1 star for value: $90 for 7 CD's = $13 per CD which is more than you would pay retail. No session info so you essentially pay for a cardboard box,

Dark Side of the Moon 30th Anniversary Edition

by Capitol
Audio CD (25 March, 2003)
(212 reviews)

Editorial Review: Dark Side of the Moon, originally released in 1973, is one of those albums that is discovered anew by each generation of rock listeners. This complex, often psychedelic music works very well because Pink Floyd doesn't rush anything;

by Atlantic
Audio CD (06 September, 1994)
(79 reviews)

Editorial Review: Less than a year after the release of CSN's groundbreaking debut, the group returned with Stephen Stills's former Buffalo Springfield cohort/rival Neil Young augmenting the threesome. The result is a less concentrated but more kinetic creation;

Delicate Sound of Thunder
list: $29.98 - our price: $26.99
Audio CD (25 October, 1990)
(83 reviews)

Editorial Review: In the late 1980s, Pink Floyd came roaring back with a decent studio album and an awesome stadium tour. Delicate Sound is a postcard from that tour that has the impossible task of capturing the spectacle of flying pigs and crashing beds.

Desperado

by Elektra
Audio CD (25 October, 1990)
(36 reviews)

Editorial Review: If ever a group of musicians had a clear vision of where they wanted to go and how to get there, it was these southern California boys who built a steady rolling FM hit factory on basic tenets of Gram Parsons's invention of country-rock.
