Mazzy Star
Among My Swan
Mazzy Star's third album landed with a bit of a limp thud after the lightning success of "Fade Into You" didn't strike twice, but Among My Swan is full of the same sweet atmospheric swirl that their earlier albums exuded.

Roy Hargrove's Crisol
Habana
On this Grammy-winning album, the heretofore conservative Young Lion made his move beyond neo-bop toward something new, fresh, and potentially important. He had to go to Havana to find it.

The Avalanches
Since I Left You
There's little doubt to the status of Since I Left You, released 25 years ago today, as one of the most intimate and emotional dance records that isn't vocal-based. It works on an almost mystical level.

Melanie C
Northern Star
The second solo Spice Girl album, this one is arguably the best of the bunch. Released in late 1999, it's very much of the times, absorbing the stylish pop-electronica heard prominently on albums like Madonna's Ray of Light (both albums share producers).

Gil Scott-Heron
Pieces of a Man
Gil Scott-Heron's 1971 album Pieces of a Man set a standard for vocal artistry and political awareness that few musicians will ever match. Nowhere is his style more powerful than on the classic "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised."

Tom Brosseau
Perfect Abandon
Appealingly spartan and impeccably written, the ninth album by this North Dakotan singer/songwriter is a gem of musical understatement, sung in his fine-grained tenor and recorded live around a single mic in Briston, U.K. by John Parish.

The first major influence in the global expansion of reggae, with a hit film and album in 1972's rollicking The Harder They Come.

Kelly Hogan
Because It Feel Good
The secret weapon in Neko Case's best records, Kelly Hogan belts out alt-country torch ballads front and center on the oddly-titled "Because It Feel Good."

Roy Brooks
The Free Slave
Recorded live in Baltimore in 1970, the second album where Detroit-bred drummer Roy Brooks acts as leader is a steady burner of funky soul-jazz and percussion-forward excitement.

Queen
A Night at the Opera

Stone Roses and Primal Scream bassist Mani appeared on all of the Stone Roses' seminal albums and singles beginning with "Elephant Stone." His bass lines stand as some of the best and immediately recognizable from the late-'80s Madchester scene.

Original Off Broadway Cast
The Fantasticks
Nothing says autumn is shifting to winter quite like the wistful "Try to Remember," a song that looks back at September from December, both literally and figuratively.
