Featuring 100 of the best albums from the last four decades, clashmusic.com​ editor Robin Murray shares his passion for exceptional music and offers insightful takes on what elevates these records above the competition.</b> <p/> Robin steers clear of the usual classics - The Beatles and The Clash, for example - and instead goes deep into his record collection to pull out <b>the albums he considers the greatest ever.</b> For each, a solid case is made for why it represents a <b>watershed moment in music history</b>, outlining the story behind the record and <b>critiquing what constitutes a classic</b>. <b>Uniquely curated to offer a fresh perspective</b> on the last 40-plus years of music, find <b>politically charged rock</b> brushing shoulders with dub-infused <b>electronica</b>, <b>progressive pop</b> and dreamy shoegaze shaken awake by <b>ear-drum rattling grime and house music</b>. <p/> Whether it's <b>bass-heavy hip-hop</b> from Nas that inspired a thousand MCs to pick up a mic or <b>experimental indie</b> dance from LCD Soundsystem that blurred genres and tempted musicians to trade in their guitars for synthesizers, this is an <b>essential rundown</b> of the <b>albums that really matter.</b> Y<b>ou need to play them loud</b>.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Robin Murray</b> is Editor-in-Chief at <i>Clash</i>, having worked on the magazine for over a decade interviewing the likes of Michael Stipe, Lizzo, Nile Rogers, Blondie, Graham Coxon, Kim Gordon and many more.
