Jazz Magazine - 101 Masterpieces You Haven't Heard Yet (2016)


Info: «In 2015, the fifth most sold LP in the USA has been Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, just behind Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and The Beatles' Abbey Road. More than 100 masterpieces that are not less essential, but that didn't get to the top of the charts, have been lovingly picked by our writers...» (Jazz Magazine)

L'anti-discothèque ideale (Christophe Conte)


Info: Christophe Conte is a French music journalist (Les Inrockuptibles, France Inter). In 2015 he published L'anti discothèque idéale - 100 chefs-d'oeuvre auxquels vous avez échappé!, a book collecting a personal selection of undervalued music albums from 1967 (Rewind by Johnny Rivers) to 2015 (Carrie & Lowell by Sufjan Stevens). Likely any of these albums is included in the usual all-time charts. According to Mr Conte, they should. Or, at least, you should give them a chance.
