Shoegazing（自赏摇滚）的奠基者The Jesus and Mary Chain的首张专辑，一般也认为是首张Shoegazing专辑，他们在其中演练了各种吉他噪音和梦幻般的和声，"Just Like Honey," "My Little Underground" 和 "Never Understand"都被认为是另类摇滚的经典。

Harry Styles’ debut solo single Sign of the Times — an epic, David Bowie-esque rock

John Cale出生于威尔斯的矿工家庭，Cale在Velvet Underground里负责贝斯、中提琴与钢琴的演奏，偶而担任演唱。他的作品展示了矛盾与对立的魔力:抒情诗与噪音，精密与粗糙，催眠般的反复和突变……当他还是一个古典音乐学校的学生时，他就表现出了极端主义的倾向。在他学习理论和作曲的音乐学校的一次独奏演出上他推翻了一架钢琴。凯尔在英国学习完作曲后，于 1963年来到美国。在纽约他遇到娄・里德，后者帮他对电声乐器和摇滚乐有了最初的了解。不久他加人“地下丝绒”，在其中担任键盘、贝斯和电声中提琴的演奏。

Reissue of their 1981 album featuring the hit 'Chihuahua' & the original cover art. Malcolm McLaren, of Sex Pistols fame, made teenager Annabella Lwin the centerpiece of his next creation. Backing her with members of Adam & the Ants, they were dubbed Bow Wow Wow and released See Jungle! See Jungle! in 1981. The focus was on style and the music was a mix of dance and new wave always with a heavy nod toward percussion. 13 tracks.

The Zombies这个乐队并不怎么出名，Odessey and Oracle是他们的最后一张专辑，推出之后不久乐队就散伙了。专辑录制于1967年，但发行商直到1969年才把它翻出来听（个人认为很可能是打算听一遍就扔掉），然而听过之后，这个交好运的发行商忽然发现原来垃圾堆里也有宝贝，这张专辑才得以发行。
就是这样一张侥幸逃过灭顶之灾且知名度并不太高的唱片，在强手林立的滚石500张最强专辑中排名却高居第80位，并不是偶然的。滚石的编辑认为，这张专辑把类似于Beatles的那张Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band中的迷幻曲风和正在发展的英格兰流行音乐进行了很好的融合。我听过之后，觉得确实非常好听，单纯论好听的话，我认为不比Beatles那张Sgt' Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band差。如果不是因为乐队名气实在太小，我相信这张专辑还可以获得更高的名次，推荐！
这张专辑在1998年推出30周年纪念版，在原版12首歌基础上增加15首Bonus Track。2004年又再版一次，总曲目变为28首。[from verycd]

Out of print in the U.S.! The Cure's UK debut album, Three Imaginary Boys, was repackaged for other countries by removing album tracks and replacing them with non-album A-sides, resequencing the track order, adding new artwork and renaming the album Boys Don't Cry. For all intents and purposes, this was a much stronger album than the original UK release and continues to be a favorite amongst fans. 12 tracks including 'Jumping Someone Else's Train', 'Killing An Arab', 'Fire In Cairo', 'Plastic Passion' and the title track. They've never sounded as excited since!

A new lead single, "Primadonna" is set to precede her upcoming album's release on April 16, 2012.

Matt Elliott is an English guitarist and singer-songwriter, originally from Bristol, England and now based in France, who plays dark folk music. He also produced and recorded electronic music under the name The Third Eye Foundation.

在完成Let It Be之后，甲壳虫四人组合着手制作他们作为一个乐队、一个组合的最后一张专辑。这之后，乐队成员将各奔东西。由于这张专辑是在伦敦的阿比大街(Abbey Road)录制的，所以Beatles将其命名为Abbey Road。
录制于甲壳虫乐队最后日子的《阿比大街》是其成就的顶点，充分展示了乐队成员成熟的技艺。如同对他们多年共同合作的一个总结，该专辑包括了每一个成员的作品，各种不同的风格熔于一炉。其中摇滚乐有：The End，I Want You，Oh!Darling，Come Together，民谣类有Because，Something，而Sun King中的吉它片段，Carry That Weight、Golden Slumbers中的配乐，I Want You、Sun King、Maxwell's Silver Hammer中Sgt. Pepper式的倒带、各种奇奇怪怪的新乐器以及录音室噱头，都给人留下深刻印象。
所有乐队成员都有创作汇入该专辑，而每一个作品都是对他们各自独特秉赋的绝好印证。特别突出的是George的Something和Here Comes The Sun，这也许是有史以来最棒的两首歌了。Ringo的配乐技巧同样令人难以忘怀，Octopus's Garden显然有着该专辑中最诱人的旋律之一。
Beatles的解散代表着一个他们统治并参与创建的时代的结束，也许可以说以前或以后都不会有象他们这样的乐队了。对于无数的Beatles迷来说，这解散的时刻自然令他们黯然神伤。而若干年后列农的遇刺，更使他们中的许多人痛心疾首、甚至号啕大哭。时至今日，当刺杀列农的凶手可能获释的消息传来，他们中还有人扬言：这小子如果今天出狱，他将见不到明天的太阳！
这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第14位。

Nick's debut album, released in 1969 on Island Records.
尼克的首张唱片，1969年，孤岛唱片。标题暗示英国Rizla卷烟纸，
A possible source for the title is quoted by Patrick Humphries in his Nick Drake biography.
It's an excerpt from a novel, 'The Last Leaf', written by American writer O. Henry around the turn of the century. A young painter is dying of pneumonia, and what keeps her alive is the ivy growing in the yard outside:
从Patrick Humphries为nick的传记里，可以找到取这个标题的缘由－－－小说《最后一片叶》的摘录，美国作家欧.亨利。一个垂死于肺炎的年青画家，支撑他生命的仅是他院子外的常春藤。
"'They're falling faster now. Three days ago there was almost a hundred. It made my head ache to count them. But now it's easy. There goes another one. There are only five left now.'
'Five what, dear?...'
'Leaves. On the ivy vine. When the last one falls I must go too'" (Humphries, p. 93)
“现在掉的更快了，三天前还有百来片。为他们计数可真让我头疼。现在简单了......又掉了一片，只剩下五片了。”
"五片什么？亲爱的！“
”常春藤上的叶子，当最后一片飘落的时候我也要去了“(Humphries, Page. 93)

威猛乐队由两位高中时代的好友组成，他们是乔治·迈克尔（George Michael）和安德鲁·维治利（Andrew Ridgeley）。他们的首张专辑《异想天开》一经推出，很快就在英国的排行榜上名列第一，并连续两周位居榜首。1986年6月，“威猛” 乐队在英国的温布里体育场举行了盛大的告别演唱会，并发行了其最后一场专辑《来自天堂边缘的音乐》。红极一时的威猛乐队从此解散。但主唱乔治·迈克尔单飞之后，仍然取得了巨大的成就，为当代最成功的西洋流行歌手之一。

Musique Pour La Danse is proud to present Coil's unreleased soundtrack for the VHS only, pre-internet, sexual education documentary entitled "The Gay Man's Guide To Safer Sex" released in 1992. Members for this project are John Balance, Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson and Danny Hyde.
The OST, to quote John Balance's interview for Compulsion Online, "is [a] slightly new agey, progressive house type thing".
Another way to approach it is as a delightful collection of balearic beats, smoking jazz not far removed from Badalamenti's work with David Lynch, somewhat of an ambient house album for your home listening and early morning sunrise dances, Coil style.
Taken from the original masters provided by Danny Hyde, "The Gay Man's Guide To Safer Sex" features a new sexy edit of the main theme. Bonuses "Nasa-Arab" and "Omlagus Garfungiloops" are taken from the 1992 CD only "Stolen And Contaminated Songs", both being original versions of the radically reworked (for the OST) "Nasa-Arab 2" and "Exploding Frogs" in order to balance the whole album and extend the listening pleasure.
