Symphony For All The Lonely People
The more I listen to The Beatles the more I like and appreciate them. Eleanor Rigby in particular is one of the song I can't stop listening to. The two minutes it's packed into speak volumes, both lyrics-wise and music-wise. Lots of artists have done covers of the lonely people's anthem, classical to progrock, jazz to metal. Here's my favourite ten.

Land Of The Rocking Sun
This is a collection of German bands that - for some reason - didn't get much attention and soon ceased to exist, having released only a couple of albums, some of them only one. The reason for their lack of success certainly wasn't a lack of quality. Poor production, managers, promotion? Anyway, I wish they had made many more albums like these.

Living On The Hill
"They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band. It ain't what they call rock and roll."
I could well be one of them, unless we're talking about a healthy dose of some brass instruments within a nice prog rock band. I believe this compilation can be said to feature such combinations.
