Tracklist Highlights
- Derek & the Dominoes – Layla — One of the most immediately recognisable and culturally significant rock recordings ever made; its combination of a driving, guitar-led production and Eric Clapton's completely assured guitar work gives it a sustained dramatic tension that has made it one of the most enduring recordings in rock history.
- Dire Straits – Sultans of Swing — One of the most immediately distinctive and musically sophisticated recordings of the late 1970s; its combination of a warm, jazz-influenced production and Mark Knopfler's completely assured guitar work gives it a sustained commercial appeal that established Dire Straits as one of the defining acts of the era.
- Thunderclap Newman – Something in the Air — One of the most immediately distinctive and emotionally direct recordings of 1969; its combination of a warm, contemporary production and a lyric of revolutionary optimism gives it a sustained commercial appeal. UK No. 1 (1969).
- 10cc – I'm Not in Love — One of the most atmospherically distinctive and sonically adventurous recordings of the 1970s; its combination of a warm, layered vocal production and a minimalist arrangement gives it a sustained dramatic tension and emotional directness that has made it one of the most enduring recordings of the era.
- Elton John & Kiki Dee – Don't Go Breaking My Heart — A duet and one of the most immediately joyful and commercially dominant recordings of 1976; its combination of a driving, pop production and the interplay between John's and Dee's vocals gives it a sustained commercial appeal. UK No. 1 (1976).
