1	Raising Sand (2007) more music like this by Robert Plant/Alison Krauss What seems to be an unlikely pairing in the duo of former -- and future apparently -- Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant and bluegrass superstar Alison Krauss is actually one of the most effortless-sounding pairings in modern popular music. The bridge seems to be producer T-Bone Burnett and the band assembled for this outing: drummer Jay Bellerose ... see all copies from £12.84! new only from £12.84!
2	Hot Rocks, 1964-1971 (1972) more music like this by The Rolling Stones This two-LP/two-CD set is both a lot more and a bit less than what it seems. It is seven years' worth of mostly very high-charting -- and all influential and important -- songs, leaving out some singles in favor of well-known album tracks, and in the process, giving an overview not just of the Rolling Stones' hits but of their evolving image. One ... see all copies from £4.78! new only from £13.61!
3	Houses of the Holy (1973) more music like this by Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy follows the same basic pattern as Led Zeppelin IV, but the approach is looser and more relaxed. Jimmy Page's riffs rely on ringing, folky hooks as much as they do on thundering blues-rock, giving the album a lighter, more open atmosphere. While the pseudo-reggae of "D'Yer Mak'er" and the affectionate James Brown send-up "The ... see all copies from £5.46! new only from £6.79!
4	Led Zeppelin IV (1971) more music like this by Led Zeppelin Encompassing heavy metal, folk, pure rock & roll, and blues, Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth album is a monolithic record, defining not only Led Zeppelin but the sound and style of '70s hard rock. Expanding on the breakthroughs of III, Zeppelin fuse their majestic hard rock with a mystical, rural English folk that gives the record an epic scope. ... see all copies from £3.07! new only from £10.64!
5	Greatest Hits (1992) more music like this by ZZ Top This isn't a perfect roundup of ZZ Top's superstar years of the '80s, but it comes pretty close. It dips back into the '70s for "Pearl Necklace" and "La Grange," with a couple of selections from the post-peak '90s, but this does offer the MTV-era basics: "Gimme All Your Lovin'," "Sharp Dressed Man," "Rough Boy," "Tush," "My Head's in Mississippi," ... see all copies from £2.72! new only from £7.38!
6	Ultimate Santana (2007) more music like this by Santana Billed as the first Santana compilation to span his entire career, it is true that Ultimate Santana does indeed run the gamut from 1969's "Evil Ways" to 2002's "Game of Love," but if you think that means it handles all phases of his career equally, you'd be sadly mistaken. Essentially, this 18-track set plays like a collection of highlights from ... see all copies from £11.18! new only from £12.74!
7	Led Zeppelin (1969) more music like this by Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin had a fully formed, distinctive sound from the outset, as their eponymous debut illustrates. Taking the heavy, distorted electric blues of Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, and Cream to an extreme, Zeppelin created a majestic, powerful brand of guitar rock constructed around simple, memorable riffs and lumbering rhythms. But the key to the ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £12.64!
8	Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix (1998) more music like this by Jimi Hendrix This compilation just misses being the perfect single-CD Jimi Hendrix anthology, and it's a crying shame because it comes so close. Its main virtue is that, in contrast to Smash Hits -- the only compilation of Hendrix's work approved by the artist -- it extends its reach past 1968. The last of the tracks come from the abortive First Rays of the ... see all copies from £7.67! new only from £7.89!
9	Are You Experienced? [US] (1967) more music like this by The Jimi Hendrix Experience One of the most stunning debuts in rock history, and one of the definitive albums of the psychedelic era. On Are You Experienced?, Jimi Hendrix synthesized various elements of the cutting edge of 1967 rock into music that sounded both futuristic and rooted in the best traditions of rock, blues, pop, and soul. It was his mind-boggling guitar work, ... see all copies from £7.65! new only from £9.08!
10	Complete Clapton (2007) more music like this by Eric Clapton Disregard the title of this 2007 compilation: there is no way that any double-disc, 36-track set could be called The Complete Clapton, not when Eric Clapton has had a career that's spanned over four decades. This doesn't even attempt to cover as much ground as his landmark four-disc 1988 box set Crossroads, which began with his first band the ... see all copies from £7.58! new only from £16.27!
11 view cover	At Fillmore East (1971) more music like this by The Allman Brothers Band Whereas most great live rock albums are about energy, At Fillmore East is like a great live jazz session, where the pleasure comes from the musicians' interaction and playing. The great thing about that is, the original album that brought the Allmans so much acclaim is as notable for its clever studio editing as it is for its performances. ... see all copies from £5.05! new only from £8.70!
12 view cover	Beggars Banquet (1968) more music like this by The Rolling Stones The Stones forsook psychedelic experimentation to return to their blues roots on this celebrated album, which was immediately acclaimed as one of their landmark achievements. A strong acoustic Delta blues flavor colors much of the material, particularly "Salt of the Earth" and "No Expectations," which features some beautiful slide guitar work. ... see all copies from £7.84! new only from £7.84!
13 view cover	Greatest Hits 1974-1978 (1978) more music like this by Steve Miller Band Greatest Hits 1974-1978 collects the majority of Steve Miller's biggest hits -- "The Joker," "Take the Money and Run," "Rock 'n Me," "Fly Like an Eagle," "Jet Airliner," "Jungle Love," "Swingtown" -- and seven album tracks that received a fair amount of airplay on album rock radio. The collection only covers a total of three albums -- The Joker, ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £5.48!
14 view cover	Led Zeppelin II (1969) more music like this by Led Zeppelin Recorded quickly during Led Zeppelin's first American tours, Led Zeppelin II provided the blueprint for all the heavy metal bands that followed it. Since the group could only enter the studio for brief amounts of time, most of the songs that compose II are reworked blues and rock & roll standards that the band was performing on-stage at the time. ... see all copies from £6.66! new only from £12.64!
15 view cover	Pearl (1971) more music like this by Janis Joplin Janis Joplin's second masterpiece (after Cheap Thrills), Pearl was designed as a showcase for her powerhouse vocals, stripping down the arrangements that had often previously cluttered her music or threatened to drown her out. Thanks also to a more consistent set of songs, the results are magnificent -- given room to breathe, Joplin's trademark ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £8.14!
16 view cover	Nick of Time (1989) more music like this by Bonnie Raitt Prior to Nick of Time, Bonnie Raitt had been a reliable cult artist, delivering a string of solid records that were moderate successes and usually musically satisfying. From her 1971 debut through 1982's Green Light, she had a solid streak, but 1986's Nine Lives snapped it, falling far short of her usual potential. Therefore, it shouldn't have ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £6.67!
17 view cover	Disraeli Gears (1967) more music like this by Cream Cream teamed up with producer Felix Pappalardi for their second album, Disraeli Gears, a move that helped push the power trio toward psychedelia and also helped give the album a thematic coherence missing from the debut. This, of course, means that Disraeli Gears gets further away from the pure blues improvisatory troupe they were intended to be, ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £6.82!
18 view cover	Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs (1970) more music like this by Derek and the Dominos Wishing to escape the superstar expectations that sank Blind Faith before it was launched, Eric Clapton retreated with several sidemen from Delaney & Bonnie to record the material that would form Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. From these meager beginnings grew his greatest album. Duane Allman joined the band shortly after recording began, ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £8.19!
19 view cover	Dixie Chicken (1973) more music like this by Little Feat Following Roy Estrada's departure during the supporting tour for Sailin' Shoes, Lowell George became infatuated with New Orleans R&B and mellow jamming, all of which came to a head on their third album, 1973's Dixie Chicken. Although George is firmly in charge - he dominates the record, writing or co-writing seven of the 10 songs - this is the ... see all copies from £3.59! new only from £6.17!
20 view cover	Luck of the Draw (1991) more music like this by Bonnie Raitt Nick of Time not only was an artistic comeback for Bonnie Raitt; it brought her largest audience yet, so there was no reason to mess with success for its sequel, Luck of the Draw. And sequel is the appropriate word, since Luck of the Draw is nothing if it isn't Nick of Time, Pt. 2 . True, there's a heavier reliance on original material this time ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £4.10!
21 view cover	Icky Thump (2007) more music like this by The White Stripes A lot changed in the White Stripes' world between Get Behind Me Satan and Icky Thump: Meg White moved to L.A., while Jack White left Detroit for Nashville, married and had a daughter, and formed the Raconteurs, a side project that won so much praise that some fans worried that it meant the end of the Stripes. Those fears were as unfounded as the ... see all copies from £6.56! new only from £12.64!
22 view cover	A Decade of Hits 1969-1979 (1991) more music like this by The Allman Brothers Band The record industry's blatantly greedy ploy of remastering and "upgrading" CDs is shameful. The sonics are usually improved, but the CDs could have been mastered properly the first time. But then fans wouldn't buy the same titles twice. The Allman Brothers Band's indispensable compilation A Decade of Hits 1969-1979 was reissued in 2000, just nine ... see all copies from £6.11! new only from £8.04!
23 view cover	Exile on Main St. (1972) more music like this by The Rolling Stones Greeted with decidedly mixed reviews upon its original release, Exile on Main St. has become generally regarded as the Rolling Stones' finest album. Part of the reason why the record was initially greeted with hesitant reviews is that it takes a while to assimilate. A sprawling, weary double album encompassing rock & roll, blues, soul, and country ... see all copies from £3.92! new only from £6.82!
24 view cover	Modern Times (2006) more music like this by Bob Dylan When Bob Dylan dropped Time Out of Mind in 1997, it was a rollicking rockabilly and blues record, full of sad songs about mortality, disappointment, and dissolution. 2001 brought Love and Theft, which was also steeped in stomping blues and other folk forms. It was funny, celebratory in places and biting in others. Dylan has been busy since then: ... see all copies from £3.82! new only from £9.56!
25 view cover	Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits [Bonus Tracks] (1999) more music like this by Janis Joplin A solid, if skimpy, ten-track best-of that gathers the most important songs from Janis Joplin's solo career, as well as her stint with Big Brother & the Holding Company. The compilation 18 Essential Songs offers a wider selection, but does not include the original version of "Me and Bobby McGee," which makes Greatest Hits the better purchase for ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £6.80!
