		Getting one of the greatest producers in music, Todd Rundgren, gave the band the needed push to create an album that left many of the band's new wave sounds behind in order to concentrate more on an overall aesthetic reminiscent of the great '60s bands like the Beatles.
		It was the greatest album from one of the best and most popular bands in hard rock and re-established ACDC as a juggernaut after the death of their original singer Bon Scott.
		On this album they mix in heavy rock, pop, and even pseudo-opera (with their definitive song "Bohemian Rhapsody") to bring rock to a whole different headspace.

	The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time was the cover story of a special issue of Rolling Stone magazine published in November 2003.
		It was too focused upon albums by The Beatles, who had four albums in the top 10, including #1.
		All of these genres have at least some albums that were incredibly influential (Glenn Gould's second recording of The Goldberg Variations), popular (the original recording of Rent) or both (John Williams' score to Star Wars).

		It could be some stupid story or person (not necessarily stupid) that the album reminds you of, but every song on the album has to appeal to you in whatever mood you may be in.
		This is the album that all fraternity rats have in their collection for the old bump and grind after Tuesday night meetings and drinks at the bar.
		I feel the album ought be one of the best works, as a whole, not just their best song, by a group or artist that not only is excellent at what they do but is so much so that they have influenced others and helped evolve music as a whole.

	500 greatest albums of all time - Scene
		Voters were free to be true to the own loves and music selections, while choosing not only albums that they considered the best, but those that meant the most to them in their personal lives as well as professional lives.
		Because an album made the RS 500 list does not necessarily mean that it reflects the sales of the album or even chart positions.
		Some of the greatest single artists - from Fats Domino and the Four Tops to Dion and Donna Summer - are absent; the voters did not reach a consensus on any of the hit compilations of their work on the market.

		Five albums from the much maligned Eighties lurk suspiciously at the bottom, perhaps on the verge of poignantly disappearing for ever, perhaps bravely fighting back into favour.
		We list to remember that for every album like those four, there are others as worthy of our attention just out of hearing.
		Albums and songs waiting to be listed because, like it or not, the list goes on for ever.

	Vodkapundit - The Five Greatest Concept Albums Ever, Period
		The concept is an extramarital affair told from the girlfriend's point of view leading to a confrontation with the wife when she decides she can't share anymore (side one) and the wife's acceptance that the marriage is over and that she has to get on with her life (side two).
		Best line from this album is from the girlfriend on the advantages of being involved with a married man "you don't have to wash nobody's funky drawers but your own".
		I think the definition of a concept album is this: Rather than use the vinyl to record 8 to 12 seperate concepts, the songs,(even if they have a common theme), the band uses the vinyl as the canvas for their single concept.

	Top 25 Punk Albums Ever!
		When this album came out in 1977, CBS execs in the U.S. decided not to release it here because they thought it would be over the heads of American audiences.
		This New Jersey band's album was released at a time when many thought punk was dead and gone, this record melded melodic hardcore with horror, love of the dead, decapitation, and plenty of other songs to create zombies by.
		This was the first punk album released in the UK, the first album released by the legendary Stiff Records, and Damned were also the first to tour America.

		NEW YORK (AP) — A greatest-hits album once stood as a watershed — a milestone chronicling a collection of top-rated hits, culturally significant songs or the end of a stellar career.
		Last fall, Britney Spears released "Greatest Hits: My Prerogative," a retrospective of her chart-topping, multiplatinum recording career — all six years of it.
		The Eagles' "Their Greatest Hits: 1971-1975" is the best-selling album in U.S. history, selling more than 28 million copies.

	Pitchfork Feature: Top 100 Albums of the 1970s (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Shaking off naturalism, daisy chains and acid tabs came easier than expected, and what resulted was a paradox of both striking diversity and remarkable coherence: From high-concept prog-nerds and high-octane guitar solo to high-heeled glam-rockers and high-ass punks, the 70s saw the rise and dominance of the album-as-unified-statement.
		Of course, at the end of it all, the task of choosing just 100 records to represent the entire decade has meant that there was just not enough room for all of the wonderful (and arguably deserving) albums and bands we'd like to have listed.
		But it's a lovely, charming album from the dadaist jaunt of "Backwater" to its tranquil second side, whose mood and texture seems to tear a page from Eno's 1977-78 David Bowie Album Construction Playbook, yet rectifies the divide between his pop and ambient impulses.

	Amazon.com: The 500 Greatest Albums of All Times: Books: Editors of Rolling Stone,Joe Levy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		It works fine as a glamorous exposition of albums that sold well in their time and are favorites of their fans (the contributing critics), but not as a serious list of what really constitutes on a musical level (that is, minus the hype) the greatest albums.
		Such an album is certainly "greater" than this book's #1 album, Sgt. Pepper, since that Beatles album was inspired by an already thriving psychedelic scene that that band did not create nor was even part of, even though, yes, that album may have been the scene's best seller and its most famous.
		But for a serious appreciation of the greatest albums, do not look into this tome or you will be greatly disappointed (although obviously many classics are included, inevitably).

		Also available is the total list sorted as the most commercially important albums ever, and the list broken down into artist careers by adding all the albums for each artist together.
