All Sides(more) »rank: 442by: O.A.R.
Our review:Album Description:O.A.R. has come to stand for authentic Rock music that reflects the collective triumphs and tragedies we all experience is this world: Real people making real music that resounds deeply with their fans. The songs on this album showcase every facet of the band and it's musical tastes which led to calling the album 'All Sides'.

At the Roxy (Atlanta 93)(more) »rank: 606by: Phish
Our review: :This CD of recordings from Phish's three-show run at Atlanta's Roxy Theater in 1993 is the first complete multiple-show release since 'Hampton Comes Alive' and the magical 'Island Tour' of 1998. An almost 8 ½ hour excursion. The only thing better than one night of Phish at their peak is three shows in a row and, as three-night stands go, this collection simply must be heard. Detail |

A Decade of Hits 1969-1979(more) »rank: 775by: The Allman Brothers Band
Our review: :With their dueling guitar leads and harmonies built on a double drummer foundation, the Allman Brothers Band cast the mold for the southern rock sound that would proliferate in the '70s. Virtuoso musicians, their songs drew upon a number of southern influences, including country, the blues, New Orleans jazz, and even gospel, creating a sound that was distinctly theirs. Decade of Hits is a great catalog of the Allman's at their guitar wielding best. The sweet, infectious harmonies on the instrumental 'Jessica' have become a classic reference point in themselves. Next to the tragedies that plagued them--two motorcycle deaths, heroin addiction--the Allman's are ... Detail |

Crash(more) »rank: 1171by: Dave Matthews Band
Our review: essential recording:It's tempting to label the Dave Matthews Band as torchbearers of the Grateful Dead's moderate rock fusion and send them off on the next summer tour featuring either Blues Traveler or the Spin Doctors. But there is more at work here, particularly on the band's second major-label release. Crash pairs soothing sounds (flute, acoustic guitar, six-string bass) with a dark emotional undercurrent. The South African (by way of Virginia) frontman reveals a rare intensity on the title track and the free-form '41,' while the group shows that it's not afraid to let loose on songs such as the stirring 'Too Much.' ...

Meet Me In Margaritaville: The Ultimate Collection(more) »rank: 1694by: Jimmy Buffett
Our review: :Jimmy Buffett may have made his millions, but that doesn't mean that he has eased up on his workload. After releasing 33 albums, mounting grueling annual tours, and fashioning an entire industry and lifestyle out of his signature song 'Margaritaville,' Buffett trots out this two-CD collection. Yet, Meet Me in Magaritaville, which spans 30 years, isn't merely a retread of his long, storied career. Buffett has written two new songs for the package and re-recorded six alternative versions of fan favorites (including a moving version of 'The Captain and the Kid,' which he included for his ailing father, who died shortly after the ...

The Allman Brothers at Fillmore East(more) »rank: 1826by: The Allman Brothers Band
Our review: essential recording:There has never been a better showcase for improvisational rock than this 1971 concert recording, and few (if any) live rock albums are in its rank. With only two studio albums (and plenty of touring) under their belt, the Georgia sextet tore into the Fillmore East with road-tested buoyancy. Titanic guitarist Duane Allman was at the peak of his powers, pushing his foil, Dickey Betts, to unsurpassed peaks. Vocalist-keyboardist Gregg Allman would have been a star in any other setting; here he's merely one more component in a brilliant ensemble. Duane Allman died shortly after At Fillmore East shipped, and the ... Detail |
