Led Zeppelin IV (aka ZOSO)

CD-Charts > Music > Guitar Gods
by: Led Zeppelin

Release Date July 19, 1994
Beware that the MP3 album for sale here is NOT the remastered version, even though it's linked to the remastered CD version on the amazon site. I discovered this after purchasing and listening to it. The audio is muddy and full of dropouts, and basically sounds like an old audio cassette. This is why it's only $8.

Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix

CD-Charts > Music > Guitar Gods
by: Jimi Hendrix

Release Date November 03, 1998
We loved this Jimmy Hendrix CD. We found some 8mm video tapes that my husband took while he was in Vietnam in the 70's. We sent the tapes off to have them put on a DVD and had them put the Jimmy Hendix cd as the background music. It turned out great !!! Brought back a lot of good and bad memories !!!! CD was worth every penny we paid for it !!!

Led Zeppelin II

For those of you out there who think that John Paul Jones was the most talented member of the Zeppelin - and yes, I am one of those people - you need to listen to this album as fast as possible. The bass playing here is his best ever, I think. I'd hesitate to call the album brilliant, but it's pretty close. I want to say this is my second favorite Zeppelin album after Houses of the Holy, but as I've said in previous reviews, Zeppelin's first four albums are all more or less equally good.
And hey, how about those bass lines? On the dirty blues jam "Lemon Song" and the half-ballad, half-rockers "What is and What Should Never Be" (which also is Plant at his best - his vocals are sensual, and his ad-libbing during the fadeout is incredibly charismatic) ... Read More:

Led Zeppelin 1

CD-Charts > Music > Guitar Gods
by: Led Zeppelin

Release Date June 21, 1994
In 1969, Led Zeppelin shook the music world up with their stunning debut album. The four guys that make up the legendary heroes of hard rock, better known as Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham are at their finest here. Robert Plant is wailing and belting out the lyrics so powerfully, Jimmy Page rips out some heavy riffs and amazing blues solos, John Paul Jones adds some thunder and psychedelic with his bass and organ work, and John Bonham rocks his drum set like there's no tomorrow. What do these nine songs show for the world of rock and roll? Read on.
"Good Times, Bad Times" starts things off with a bang, featuring an awesome riff, a fun sing-a-long chorus and Jimmy Page's signature pentatonic soloing, alongside John Bonham's amazing ... Read More:

Release Date October 22, 1996
How stupid do a record label or band ( who knows which ) must be, that they won't make a partner to this album. WHERE IS VOL.2 ?? You must really not want the 1-2 million copies of this sold and all that money made. Wait much longer, and everybody will forget VAN-HALEN.

Are You Experienced

CD-Charts > Music > Guitar Gods
by: The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Release Date April 22, 1997
."Jimmi Hendrix, baby believe me, set the world on fire!"

In Eric Burdon's great song Monterey, about the Monterey Pop festival, is this prophetic line about the great one, and it turned out to be so true.

In his brief solo career,(he was once guitar player for the Isley Brothers for a time) Hendrix went from the opening act for an infamous Monkees concert, to one of the most influential musicians of rock music. I can still remember the first time I heard this album as a kid, and still have the songs burnt into my brain after all these years.

So here's the deal,

This CD is a great commuting album, or a good introduction to youngsters about how there is much better music to be had than what is coming out these days!

Van Halen

CD-Charts > Music > Guitar Gods
by: Van Halen

Release Date September 19, 2000
Well, this first album is of course an all-time classic, as it should be. As has been said before, the Van Halen brothers are the real deal. True classical musicians who also know how to rock! "Bill and Ted"s Beethoven would be proud! Both of them are classical pianists, which is ironic, since Eddie's known as a guitarist, and Alex as a drummer. Yet I've read where Ed actually claims to be primarily a pianist, not so much a guitarist!

Yet this is not their best album. It's more of a warm-up for what's to come. Musically, that title may belong to either 5150 or OU812. Or the two together could be considered their high-point musically, even vocally.

The editorial reviewer above claims that after 1984 they went into their lean years. We are entitled to ... Read More:
