50 GREAT ALBUMS - A ROCK TIME CAPSULE
The idea was to come up with 50 albums to put in a time capsule that'll be blasted off into space for future generations - or the first
bunch of aliens that happen upon the thing - to hear what rock 'n' roll meant in the 20th century. Compiled by a dozen-plus IE writers.
