To celebrate fifty years of its album chart, The Observer Review’s panel of critics argues for 50 albums that changed music.
IMHO this kind of charts is only a curiosity. It’s something to discuss on the beach when there is nothing else to do. Maybe younger people could find something “new” to listen to.
Of course the musical area is the popular music in the most general meaning. There is no experimental music, and not even the jazz is mentioned (but Miles Davis).
Best positions are:
- The Velvet Underground and Nico (1967), the album with the Warhol’s banana on the cover.
- The Beatles – Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)
- Kraftwerk – Trans-Europe Express (1977)
The Velvet Underground and Nico è uno dei miei album preferiti. Passa dal romanticismo melodico di Sunday Morning e I’ll be your mirror, all’ironia di All tomorrow’s parties e Femme Fatal, al cinismo di I’m waiting for the man e Heroin, a Venus in Furs, psichedelia allo stato puro, brano che più amo di quell’album, fino alla follia di The black angel’s death song e European son.
Assolutamente imperdibile. Fondamentale per chi, come me, ama il rock.
