1	Ziggy Stardust (1972) more music like this by David Bowie Borrowing heavily from Marc Bolan's glam rock and the future shock of A Clockwork Orange, David Bowie reached back to the heavy rock of The Man Who Sold the World for The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Constructed as a loose concept album about an androgynous alien rock star named Ziggy Stardust, the story falls apart ... see all copies from £3.80! new only from £8.20!
2	The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967) more music like this by The Velvet Underground One would be hard pressed to name a rock album whose influence has been as broad and pervasive as The Velvet Underground and Nico. While it reportedly took over a decade for the album's sales to crack six figures, glam, punk, new wave, goth, noise, and nearly every other left-of-center rock movement owes an audible debt to this set. While The ... see all copies from £6.83! new only from £6.83!
3	Hunky Dory (1971) more music like this by David Bowie After the freakish hard rock of The Man Who Sold the World, David Bowie returned to singer/songwriter territory on Hunky Dory. Not only did the album boast more folky songs ("Song for Bob Dylan," "The Bewlay Brothers"), but he again flirted with Anthony Newley-esque dancehall music ("Kooks," "Fill Your Heart"), seemingly leaving heavy metal behind ... see all copies from £6.31! new only from £6.31!
4	The Man Who Sold the World (1970) more music like this by David Bowie Even though it contained no hits, The Man Who Sold the World, for most intents and purposes, is the beginning of David Bowie's classic period. Working with guitarist Mick Ronson and producer Tony Visconti for the first time, Bowie developed a tight, twisted heavy guitar rock that appears simple on the surface but sounds more gnarled upon each ... see all copies from £8.45! new only from £8.45!
5	The Velvet Underground (1969) more music like this by The Velvet Underground Upon first release, the Velvet Underground's self-titled third album must have surprised their fans nearly as much as their first two albums shocked the few mainstream music fans who heard them. After testing the limits of how musically and thematically challenging rock could be on Velvet Underground & Nico and White Light/White Heat, this 1969 ... see all copies from £6.95! new only from £6.95!
6	Freak Out! (1966) more music like this by The Mothers of Invention One of the most ambitious debuts in rock history, Freak Out! was a seminal concept album that somehow foreshadowed both art rock and punk at the same time. Its four LP sides deconstruct rock conventions right and left, eventually pushing into territory inspired by avant-garde classical composers. Yet the album is sequenced in an accessibly logical ... see all copies from £9.08! new only from £9.08!
7	Heroes (1977) more music like this by David Bowie Repeating the formula of Low's half-vocal/half-instrumental structure, Heroes develops and strengthens the sonic innovations David Bowie and Brian Eno explored on their first collaboration. The vocal songs are fuller, boasting harder rhythms and deeper layers of sound. Much of the harder-edged sound of Heroes is due to Robert Fripp's guitar, which ... see all copies from £6.96! new only from £8.45!
8	Here Come the Warm Jets (1974) more music like this by Eno Eno's solo debut, Here Come the Warm Jets, is a spirited, experimental collection of unabashed pop songs on which Eno mostly reprises his Roxy Music role as "sound manipulator," taking the lead vocals but leaving much of the instrumental work to various studio cohorts (including ex-Roxy mates Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay, plus Robert Fripp and ... see all copies from £6.68! new only from £8.33!
9	Safe as Milk (1967) more music like this by Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band Beefheart's first proper studio album is a much more accessible, pop-inflected brand of blues-rock than the efforts that followed in the late '60s -- which isn't to say that it's exactly normal and straightforward. Featuring Ry Cooder on guitar, this is blues-rock gone slightly askew, with jagged, fractured rhythms, soulful, twisting vocals from ... see all copies from £8.05! new only from £8.05!
10	Absolutely Free (1967) more music like this by The Mothers of Invention Frank Zappa's liner notes for Freak Out! name-checked an enormous breadth of musical and intellectual influences, and he seemingly attempts to cover them all on the second Mothers of Invention album, Absolutely Free. Leaping from style to style without warning, the album has a freewheeling, almost schizophrenic quality, encompassing everything ... see all copies from £6.26! new only from £9.05!
11 view cover	The Best of the Doors [1985] (1985) more music like this by The Doors A well-chosen, 19-track compilation balancing the radio hits with the longer, more complex song poems. It's a good sampler (and contains enough of the good tracks from Strange Days that we didn't bother to list that album separately), but this is one group for whom you need to hear the whole story. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from £8.35!
12 view cover	Station to Station (1976) more music like this by David Bowie Taking the detached plastic soul of Young Americans to an elegant, robotic extreme, Station to Station is a transitional album that creates its own distinctive style. Abandoning any pretense of being a soulman, yet keeping rhythmic elements of soul, David Bowie positions himself as a cold, clinical crooner and explores a variety of styles. ... see all copies from £5.74! new only from £8.45!
13 view cover	Trout Mask Replica (1969) more music like this by Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band Trout Mask Replica is Captain Beefheart's masterpiece, a fascinating, stunningly imaginative work that still sounds like little else in the rock & roll canon. Given total creative control by producer and friend Frank Zappa, Beefheart and his Magic Band rehearsed the material for this 28-song double album for over a year, wedding minimalistic R&B, ... see all copies from £9.26! new only from £9.26!
14 view cover	The Stooges (1969) more music like this by The Stooges While the Stooges had a few obvious points of influence -- the swagger of the early Rolling Stones, the horny pound of the Troggs, the fuzztone sneer of a thousand teenage garage bands, and the Velvet Underground's experimental eagerness to leap into the void -- they didn't really sound like anyone else around when their first album hit the ... see all copies from £5.22! new only from £8.46!
15 view cover	Low (1977) more music like this by David Bowie Following through with the avant-garde inclinations of Station to Station, yet explicitly breaking with David Bowie's past, Low is a dense, challenging album that confirmed his place at rock's cutting edge. Driven by dissonant synthesizers and electronics, Low is divided between brief, angular songs and atmospheric instrumentals. Throughout the ... see all copies from £7.39! new only from £8.46!
16 view cover	Kick Out the Jams (1969) more music like this by MC5 Rather than try to capture their legendary on-stage energy in a studio, MC5 opted to record their first album during a live concert at their home base, Detroit's Grande Ballroom, and while some folks who were there have quibbled that Kick Out the Jams isn't the most accurate representation of the band's sound, it's certainly the best of the band's ... see all copies from £6.18! new only from £7.41!
17 view cover	Easter (1978) more music like this by Patti Smith Group Patti Smith came back from the year-and-a-half break caused by her fall from a stage in January 1977 without having resolved the art-versus-commerce argument that had marred her second album, Radio Ethiopia. In fact, that argument was in some ways the theme of her third. Easter, produced by Bruce Springsteen associate Jimmy Iovine, was Smith's ... see all copies from £6.27! new only from £8.50!
18 view cover	Roxy Music (1972) more music like this by Roxy Music Falling halfway between musical primitivism and art rock ambition, Roxy Music's eponymous debut remains a startling redefinition of rock's boundaries. Simultaneously embracing kitschy glamour and avant-pop, Roxy Music shimmers with seductive style and pulsates with disturbing synthetic textures. Although no musician demonstrates much technical ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £8.45!
19 view cover	Radio Ethiopia (1976) more music like this by Patti Smith Group After the success of Horses, Patti Smith had something to prove to reviewers and to the industry, and Radio Ethiopia aimed at both. Producer Jack Douglas gave "the Patti Smith Group," as it was now billed, a hard rock sound, notably on the side-opening "Ask the Angels" and "Pumping (My Heart)," songs that seemed aimed at album-oriented rock radio. ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £8.05!
20 view cover	Blank Generation (1977) more music like this by Richard Hell & the Voidoids Richard Hell was one of the first men on the scene when punk rock first began to emerge in New York City as an early member of both Television and the Heartbreakers (he left both groups before they could record), but his own version of punk wasn't much like anyone else's, and while Hell's debut album, Blank Generation, remains one of the most ... see all copies from £4.84! new only from £8.88!
21 view cover	Loaded (1970) more music like this by The Velvet Underground After The Velvet Underground cut three albums for the jazz-oriented Verve label that earned them lots of notoriety but negligible sales, the group signed with industry powerhouse Atlantic Records in 1970; label head Ahmet Ertegun supposedly asked Lou Reed to avoid sex and drugs in his songs, and instead focus on making an album "loaded with hits." ... see all copies from £6.95! new only from £6.95!
22 view cover	Berlin (1973) more music like this by Lou Reed Transformer and "Walk on the Wild Side" were both major hits in 1972, to the surprise of both Lou Reed and the music industry, and with Reed suddenly a hot commodity, he used his newly won clout to make the most ambitious album of his career, Berlin. Berlin was the musical equivalent of a drug-addled kid set loose in a candy store; the album's ... see all copies from £6.96! new only from £6.96!
23 view cover	The Best of Roxy Music (2001) more music like this by Roxy Music Released to herald a reunion of the band and superseding several out-of-print predecessors, The Best of Roxy Music is an excellent summary of the group's hits and album highlights between 1972 and 1982. There are really two editions of Roxy Music, the glam rock unit that achieved widespread U.K. success from 1972 to 1975, and the more polished one ... see all copies from £8.35! new only from £8.95!
24 view cover	In Concert (1991) more music like this by The Doors In Concert is the successor CD set to the individual releases of Absolutely Live (which remains in print as a single CD), Alive, She Cried, and Live at the Hollywood Bowl -- as none of them presented more than a single angle or two of the group's sound and each confined itself to only a portion of the group's repertoire, the three-in-one release ... see all copies from £6.79! new only from £16.31!
25 view cover	Strange Days [Bonus Tracks] (2007) more music like this by The Doors Originally released as part of the completed recorded works 2006 box set Perception, this deluxe edition of the Doors' 1967 sophomore album, Strange Days, is a double-disc set containing one CD featuring a newly remastered version of the album with bonus tracks and a DVD with a 5.1 Surround mix, bonus video footage and a photo gallery. Given that ... see all copies from £9.13! new only from £9.13!
