Advantages: Light. But heavy. Disadvantages: Too many cover versions
...A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO LED ZEPPELIN
It's 1968 - ace session musos Jimmy Page (guitar) and John Paul Jones (bass), at the time the two finest exponents of either instrument - find themselves needing a drummer and singer to form group to complete contractual obligation tour as the New Yardbirds. Enter black country rockers Robert Plant (vocals) and John Bonham (drums) and voila!! Led Zeppelin are born. The most important British group of the late 20thcentury retire to London to record their debut album, in stereo nonetheless.
THE ALBUM........
Genuine Zepp classic Good Times Bad Times gets the ball rolling, blues/rock until the bridge, "ah suck!" and then Jimmy goes off on what would be his trademark; on of those 1000 note solos.
My personal favourite off this album, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You (cover of a Joan Baez original...

Advantages: it gives a neat summary of the Kinks colourful and varied career Disadvantages: Being a 'Best of' you only get to scratch the surface
...One of the gems of British rock music, the Kinks helped define our little island in the 6o's as the epicentre of the most exciting cultural revolution of the the 20thCentury.

It can be seen as a contents page with each song acting as the title of a chapter, charting their progress and maturation over the years....

Advantages: beautifully composed, orchestrated and performed Disadvantages: not for the "sing-a-long" musician
...yes thats right folks! Gerald Finzi's music can be described as many things, but genius must be one of them.
Gerald Finzi was a British composer in the early 20thCentury. Though mostly known for his choral works and hymns, his orchestral pieces give him standing among the all-time musical greats.
With an incredible understanding of counterpoint and harmony all the music is atmospheric and paints scenes of true England: rolling hills and valleys, greenery and wildlife. It is true, that a musician's world can be portrayed through his work.
The clarinet works, performed by Robert plane, are masterfully directed and performed, keeping close to the original scores even throughout the cadenzas and most intricate of passages.
This is the album I put on for stress-busting, though its not for the sing-along istener (no lyrics!), nor...
