After The Gold Rush – Neil Young

If 60’s was one big night of party in the world of popular music, this album will easily go down as the best morning-after hangover cure. Appropriately released in 1970, “After The Gold Rush” presents the singer-songwriter Neil Young largely in a mellow country-folk mode, creating one of the finest work in his vast repertoire.

MTV Unplugged - Mariah Carey

If you thought Mariah Carey’s voice was manufactured, listen to this unplugged version of hers and you will change your mind. By the time she made her mark on MTV Unplugged, she was already a multi-platinum-selling artist who owned the charts, but didn't command much respect because no one had ever seen her perform live.

Imagine – John Lennon

This album can just have a one line review – The title track overshadows everything else that John Lennon ever did in his entire career, becoming one of the top-most icons of world peace. But then there is a lot more to this album than Imagine.

Black is Black - Belle Epoque

If you were a 70s person chances are you would’ve grooved to the music of disco beats by Belle Époque. Belle Époque consisted of a female vocal trio based in Paris. The album ‘Black is Black’ which in India was released in late 1978, has both sides playing a nonstop mix medley.

Hearts in Motion – Air Supply

Their history together began in 1975 in Melbourne, Australia where they were both performing in the musical ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’. In their time off, Graham Russell (guitar and vocals) and Russell Hitchcock (vocals) began rehearsing together and found they greatly complimented each other, with Graham's compositions and Russell's four-octave range.

Born and Raised – John Mayer

John Mayer always meant two things to me. A decent blues guitarist who gets encouragement from seniors like Eric Clapton and Budy Guy, with appearances in festival like Crossroads, and a pop-ish singer who did songs like the cheesy Your Body Is A Wonderland and became big in the music world.

From Here to Eternity - Giorgio Moroder

If you really want to find out where trance and electronics started, this LP will give you the right explanation. From Here to Eternity is a 1977 album (his 7th) composed, produced and performed by Italian DJ Giorgio Moroder.

Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin

They were the loudest band in the history of rock music but never lost their sense of melody. They gave birth to the genre of heavy rock /heavy metal and are still one of the largest selling artistes. This eponymous debut album marked the offset of a fantastic musical journey called Led Zeppelin. And as far as debuts go, this one will be on top of many music followers list. What a start…even now, 46 years later, it awes.

Super Trouper – ABBA

“Feeling like a number one…… yeah there you go…. Super Trouper…..” the lines might sound odd, but that’s ABBA’s seventh studio album that features this title song and a few of the hits they are so famous for.

Let It Bleed –The Rolling Stones

Brian Jones was dead and Mick Taylor had just replaced him. The hippie madness of 60’s was coming to an end and Stones had progressed from the bluesy Beggars Banquet to a harder and darker territory with this record. ‘Let It Bleed’ saw the decade bleed to its death (if you remember Altamont).
