This book names the best albums of the last 50 years from around the globe. It places each album in order (from 1 - 100) and discusses why it deserves its place. It tells the story behind the making of the album, where it fits in the artist's career and the album's impact on the world stage. The entries will feature new interviews with the artists, producers and managers involved in the recording and the release of the album. Finally, here is a much-needed list of argument-starting top 100 seminal and influential albums of all time. Let the debate begin! From the author: "It wouldn't be a good list if it didn't polarise people and we hope that this list will. We also hope that it will get people sitting around comparing their favourites and discovering or re-discovering these great albums and others. With 70 years of loving and writing about music between us, we shamelessly believe we've earned the right to write this book. And we think we've got it right." -- John O'Donnell
