"Sinatra at the top of his game - recorded in 1955, it put Capitol Records on the map, Nelson Riddle's sumptious arrangements, Sinatra's phrasing, if you only want 1 record by him, make it this one."
"Perfect title, perfect sleeve, Johnny Rotten's spat out lyrics about 70s Britain, this album killed prog rock and reshaped the UK's musical landscape forever."
"Between punk and Britpop, there was little of note but The Smiths were the best thing about the 80s and this is their masterpiece - every song a thing of beauty, honesty, sadness and hope"
"Most say The Joshua Tree is U2's classic, but for me it's uneven - this however is pure perfection, its sexy rock'n'roll with amazing lyrics on every track"
"I was 18 when this came out and I remember 7 year old kids singing songs from it, clubs refusing to play "Smells ..." because carnage ensued, Nirvana massive overnite, best American album of all time"
