Brace yourselves for one of the greatest live shows ever recorded, performed by the Godfather of Soul himself, James Brown. Brown financed the recording himself since the head of King Records refused and Brown was determined to showcase his live act. Hold On started a string of hit singles for Sam and Dave as well as killer follow-up albums Double Dynamite and Soul Men successfully bringing gospel-influenced call-and-response Southern soul to the mainstream.

The Supremes epitomized the Motown sound, which combined soul music with pop sensibilities. By the time I Hear A Symphony was released in , the Supremes had already achieved mainstream success with the help of songwriting and production team, Holland-Dozier-Holland. This is the sixth studio effort from the group and its finest, built around boiling blues guitar and jazz-inspired syncopation. But do go out this way is utterly graceful. He earned every right to phone in his last album but instead he did the opposite.

Many refer to Radiohead as the Beatles of the current generation and for good reason. It expertly marries electronica and rock with classical and experimental sounds to perfectly frame the culture of a brand new millennium it was released in Like the truly great acts, Radiohead has never nestled too comfortably in one genre.

Despite enlisting a star-studded backing band, Marshall still stands out as the ultimate ringleader, with impeccable timing and attention-stealing pipes.
