Fame + genius + Music>>>> ABBA


It all begins in 1966 when Björn Ulvaeus met Benny Andersson for the first time.
That year they wrote their first song together and close to 1968 joined a firm of composers.


En 1969; Björn y Benny se reunieron las dos mujeres que iban a convertirse no sólo en sus novias, sino también la otra mitad de ABBA.

"The 10 Albums that you must hear before you die"

Don't think , only enjoy.

1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

The Beatles

Everything has been said about this album. As consecration is located in the # 1 Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by the famous and unique American band The Beatles. This unusual album was the product of an idea that McCartney tube while flying back to the U.S. after its last tour, thought he had had enough fame, that would be great imaginary play as a group using a different name, carrying clothes and becoming Beatles once. His music and his design was an innovation of the Beatles as something new that was beyond surprise, all eagerly waiting for the Beatles. But it still remains a great mystery of the characters that appear, even though people were inferred self to them. With their great songs like: Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band beginning at the list of his repertoire and ending with a repetition of it as a final concert with a soundtrack in both. And to conclude the disc with the song A Day in the Life ... Many try to imitate them, but nobody wants to overcome them. The band with which we began to enjoy all the music, The Beatles.

2. Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

Followed by Great album with Led Zeppelin to shut all those who said they were only "musicians." This album has no name with which he identified only by a phrase "Produced by Jimmy Page." What is more, now all call it Led Zeppelin IV by continuing the tradition of numbering its previous albums, this was the most successful and recognized, even if it did not sell many records, but is considered, by me too, the best work of Led Zeppelin. Her innovative but has nothing to identify it for them, was created by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. According to Page, Plant had purchased the sheet that appears and then the background they thought the man with the wood. His greatest hits include the record, you see that the best known is his trademark, Stairway to Heaven, which has a cool melody but in turn a heavy hand. It is a classic of the music that everyone has heard, and if you have not, Do it! Led Zeppelin IV remains a mystery but a great legend, his home, and even the symbols themselves, makes them a great band with that many people, the acclaim.

3. Abbey Road
The Beatles

It was the last record and with which The Beatles ended their career together, the masterpiece as many believe, but it was the end of an era that spawned the rock. At Abbey Road can be heard over the compositions of the 4, the ability of 4 and separated by demonstrating how they are made, somehow, since each Beatle wore off as the other musicians in their own study songs. The result, however, was what critics have deemed one of the best albums in his career, both in the technical aspect as in the creative. His home also drew attention to an idea that was a result of improvisation by Lennon who said, hey, why not quit out there, doing the cover photo, and simply call the album Abbey Road? "And so it is made its home at the time. The album consists of 2 sides, in which the first is characterized by Come Together, Oh! Darling Octopus Garden, and the latter was written and sung by Ringo Starr, his second composition for The Beatles, and his last. And in the second, almost ending with The End, where you can appreciate a single battery and a Ringo Starr failed to finish with the famous McCartney: "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make" .

4. Nevermind

Nirvana

Historical record that launched Nirvana and to fame and got this dark side where they had begun. Album radically altered the musical landscape, shifting public attention from Hair Metal of the 80's Seattle grunge movement that dominated the early years of the 90's. Concentrating the distorted guitars, the battery-destructive, low voice and roaring chaos of the band in an album designed for broad audiences. Album became number 1 on the lists and certified gold and platinum by the RIAA in 1991. His home was also unusual because it was going to start putting the baby but showing his penis, that is was a man, but producers said it was better not to take anything and make it as a curiosity, then Cobain said that he taparan sheet or part with any stain. The songs included are excellent but that stands out, and until now, most teenagers listen because Cobain was an inspiration to the people who came to the new generation, that is another song I speak but Smells Like Teen Spirit a great success that is undoubtedly his best work to date and that remains an inspiration to all. Lithium also highlight and Territorial Pissings.

5. ALIVE!

KISS

Nothing was easy, but the genius of Gene succeeded afloat the world's hottest band, KISS. The album sold more and the best live album in history, is the group which has the legendary performances, but nothing was done from one day to another. After their first 3 studio albums "KISS", "Hotter than Hell" and "Dressed to Kill," had not sold and therefore the expected number, as you were asked to record their next album were unique, they make a record where razed and show what they are on stage, the idea was born! UN DISCO EN VIVO. After recording ALIVE!, Her first live album the next day had sold over 500 copies 000mil, and was certified as a Gold Record on December 4, 1975, but it was Platinum at the end of 1976. This album includes songs from DOUBLE their 3 first albums where the group demonstrates what is and just be looking. Among his songs stand out Rock and Roll All Nite, which is implemented as a spectacular guitar solo, unlike the version that was recorded on their first album "KISS" where there is no single, 100 where the 000 shines with Catman only a single battery and ends with Let Me Go, Rock 'N Roll, a veritable ode to the Hard Rock.

6. Pet Sounds
The Beach Boys

The Best of The Beach Boys album, Pet Sounds, and ... why? He was an original idea and used as appropriate to professional musicians as the Beach Boys would focus on the vocal aspect. This great album also inspired the creation of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Paul McCartney as "the best vocal album ever recorded." This look was not the best selling album, but one of the most influential music. Among the repertoire of music that gives the album stresses God Only Know who is on side B, has the peculiarity of the name God has a great melody and dramatic.

7. The Dark Side of the Moon
Pink Floyd

The Best of The Beach Boys album, Pet Sounds, and ... why? He was an original idea and used as a convenient final Pink Floyd album, in fact they did the best job and fancy name for their great effort in it. Also considered by many the best thing that happened to the music and therefore is not expected, named "Best Album for Love" was placed in the position of number 43 of the 500 best albums of all time.
The Dark Side Of The Moon focuses on a number of aspects of modern life: birth, time, money, war, travel, mental illness and death as a daily pressures that may lead someone to madness, having to fight hard not to fall into it.
It has also become one of the ten best selling albums of all time, and enlisted in the Guinness Book for being on the list of most popular time or another album.
Among his songs include Eclipse, which is famous for its closing sentence "There's no dark side of the moon, it's all dark matter" (Translated into Castilian: "There is no dark side on the Moon, the Moon is really all dark" ), The Great Gig in the Sky by Clare Torry vocal input and Time.

8. Appetite for Destruction

Guns and Roses

What to say about this disc that was the great success of Guns' N Roses and they are large parts of their success in compositions.
It was the debut album and the band that made themselves known with everything they have, with their best known songs Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City and Sweet Child O "Mine and more often to characterize the band, apart from be inspired numerous covers, in which I include myself jejeje.
In the beginning they had great problems with the controversial cover of the disc where it showed an angry murderer and a robot girl who had evidence that he was drugged and drunk, which had allegedly been raped by the robot.
At the end they changed the cover but the cover put into the original disk.
As mentioned earlier, are among his greatest hits Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City and Sweet Chile O 'Mine, the latter had as much controversy that arose from a joke Slash thinking that this song would be just a filler for the disc and nothing special for anyone. Welcome to the Jungle if it was a great success and received numerous awards and Paradise City as one of the best compositions that made GNR.

9. Hotel California

Eagles

Becoming its biggest commercial success was also his best musical work that comes out their songs and the originality of the group.
Since its publication in 1976 has sold over 16 million copies in the United States alone, with his album with original material with improved sales. He stayed as number one in sales in eight weeks, not consecutive, between late 1976 and early 1977, and included two singles that became number one in the charts: New Kid in Town and Hotel California.
The image of the cover is the Beverly Hills hotel, numerous rumors have appeared trying to explain the meaning of the album cover. The hotel of the title was attached either to a psychiatric hospital or to the central office of the Church of Satan Anton LaVev. A figure in a photograph on a balcony inside the home was initially identified as Satan or Lavey, another figure in the same photograph purportedly a corpse, and the "Beast" mentioned in the lyrics of the album's main song was identified with Satan or Aleister Crowley.
His best subject, Hotel California, I do not remember! A legendary item that has been considered until now a legend that influence more people each time.

10. Back in Black
AC/DC


This look at the 10 but no less important, that album was dedicated to Bon Scott after his death, and became a success in this record figure for the first time as lead singer Brian Johnson who continues to the present along andalusia group touring the world.
This disc is the second best-selling music history and considered a total workforce with the same song Back in Black.
The cover of the album was dark and showing respect in memory of Bon Scott.
Among his songs include: Hells Bells, You Shook me all night long and of course, Back in Black, a major issue that was well worked and that deserves acclaim.

Eternal Howling

In every song (except for vehicles) there is always someone in front with the microphone, leading the band with their voices, carrying with it the spirit of the band and the people who acclaim ... This time I will talk about them. Are unique in history, whether in the Rock or Heavy Metal, they always have the burden of it all, but also the support of their fans.

Remember what songs were also made to make available, or the one that identified them and their listeners. .

Robert Plant

Undoubtedly, one of the best vocalists in the history of rock, with a strong voice and his way of singing that has made him known worldwide. He was a member of Led Zeppelin as a singer (since the formal separation of the band was in 1980 by the death of John Bonham, the
drummer for the band). As they advanced their concerts Led Zeppelin had not noticed already one of the most popular bands in the world and is also owed much to Robert for his kind of action and the spirit that made their songs.

One of their most familiar and which is recognized as a classic that will never die is Stairway to Heavens.

His way of singing inspired and influenced vocalists such as Rob Halford, Axl Roses, Bruce Dickinson, Steven Tyler, etc..

On December 10th 2007 the band had gathered for a concert in London, where over 20 million people tried to get tickets since they had only sold 20 thousand tickets. Plant played and sang with great enthusiasm in this concert, but said that no tour.

At present, still doing his solo career but also shared his latest album in 2007 along with the blues singer, Alison Krauss.

Robert Plant will always be recognized and remembered for giving a new form of music, his music, with a voice so powerful and so unique no one can match. We all have a bit of spirit which leads him, and now continues ... and will continue. Robert Plant for all.

Freddie Mercury

Vocalist for the rock band Queen. And not knowing how, considered one of the best vocalists of the rock for their enthusiasm and dedication to each song in the scene, with its strength in every speech that it was a great singer and so far it reminds one of his songs more emotional and meaningful one, We are the Champions


Although Freddie Mercury stands out as a rock singer, the album also demonstrated in Barcelona who could sing opera, but rather only his vocal chest voice covering 3 octaves, from F2 to F5, and including the falsetto could be up to E6, which is heard on the rock of the album It's Late News of the World. An example in which Freddie andalusia F5 comes with full voice Innuendo is on the disc, the song All God's People. This means that Freddie had including falsetto, a record of almost 4 octaves. Although Freddie Mercury ever sang beyond C5 in concert with full voice, falsetto can get to listen to BB5 and D6 in the Rock in Rio and in Japan in the very band that performed the Impromptus in recent tours.

He was also recognized for using a different type of microphone for Parant; was shorter than normal and that he was carrying any location where you put on stage.

On November 23, 1991 announced to the world suffering from AIDS through a press release that was the target of much speculation.

It said: "Responding to the information and assumptions that have appeared about me in the press for 2 weeks, I confirm that I have tested positive to the virus and have AIDS. I have tried to keep this information hidden to protect my life and those around me, but it is time that my friends and fans worldwide know the truth and I hope everyone will join me to my doctors and all those struggling to fight this terrible disease. "

On November 24, 1991, hours after the announcement of his illness, Freddie died of bronchopneumonia multilobar acting as an opportunistic infection associated with AIDS in the presence of his partner singer Elton John at his home in Garden Lodge in London. His last wish was the revival of Bohemian Rhapsody in order to raise funds for the fight against AIDS. After his death, was continued with the release of large amounts of material that Mercury had made ready. His last appearance on camera was in the video clip "These are the Days of our Lives."

Excellent singer, pianist and composer. Left us waiting for his return, which was never done. So if Mercury.

Kurt Cobain

More than a singer, guitarist, composer and leader of Nirvana, was an icon of music and the whole Nirvana, Cobain was "leader and spiritual center" in their actions.

In the late 80's and musicians metalleros Roker and gave a lot to give, as if his fame had been finished and in the early 90's tube someone to do that music is not extinct. Kurt Cobain was filed for that seat, the great burden that we now all recognize and admire. He heard the music differently, admiring the spirit that was within the letter Kurt wrote.

Cobain and Nirvana helped transform popular music in the 90s. In 1991, the arrival of the best known of Cobain song, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" marked the beginning of a dramatic change from the music scene, away from the dominant genres of the 80's, the glam metall, and dance-pop , leading to the rise of grunge and alternative rock. Music media eventually awarded to "Teen Spirit" the state of "generational anthem", [] and with this recognition, Cobain became the "spokesman" for Generation X. As a curiosity knew Kurt playing drums and also shows the song "Seasons In the Sun", a song not well known.

He was found dead at his home in Seattle in 1994, in circumstances still unclear. Some say it was suicide or murder. Cobain's corpse was burned, and one third of his ashes were scattered in a Tibetan Buddhist temple in Ithaca (New York), another was spread in the Wishkah river by the small Frances Bean, while the last third was given to Courtney Love.

In fact, Kurt Cobain went from one stage to another new composition, which he wanted to flee. As if they were not ready yet but talk to many people to make that clear. His life was very hard and confusing and wanted to demonstrate in their songs clarifications himself and society. Help and see the reality of things.

People always want to change some things, and if I could, I would like Kurt still alive. It was and remains the inspiration for most of his youth listening to music.

We never die, your life will always be in the songs he composed. Always ...

Rob Halford


Heavy metall great singer, a vocalist and principal of the legendary British band, Judas Priest. Considered one of the best vocalists in the history of rock due to his legendary bass and treble and it now shows up in any of their concerts.

He simply is not of this world, a monster of metall that always proved to be the best at what he does.
