Classic Albums à la Suite 303

Albums

Based on the Classic Albums series made by Isis & Eagle Rock Entertainment of an idea devised by John Pidgeon and Roger Scott, that feature documentaries of well-known rock, hip-hop and pop albums, we’ve decided to make our own selection of what we consider Classic Albums, trying not to fall into the same routine works that we see constantly in these selections, such as Radiohead’s OK Computer, Nirvana’s Nevermind, The Who’s Who’s Next or Sir Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Our list, however, contains albums that you should seriously consider adding to your record collection, since it’s never too late to own a masterpiece.

So first we are compiling our list and publishing it, but don’t forget that lists are organic, never definitive. We might be forgetting some outstanding works, so, feel free to contribute.

On second hand we’ll be reviewing these albums little by little.
