Rolling Stone Album Guide - 5 Star Record List 1992
Edited by Dave Marsh and John Swenson


A Random House - Rolling Stone Press Book - edited by Anthony DeCurtis and James Henke with Holly George-Warren. Revised, updated and more complete than ever, this indispensable book reviews and rates over 12,000 rock, pop, soul, country, blues, folk and gospel albums.

[Reviewers: Mark Coleman (MC), J D Considine (JDC), Paul Evans (PE), David McGee (DM). Note that blues and jazz artists are generally not included in the following list, although many are included in the Album Guide]

Extract from Introduction to Rolling Stone Album Guide “...., the entire Album Guide was written by four critics,.......: Mark Colemen, J.D. Considine, Paul Evans and David McGee. All longstanding contributors to Rolling Stone’s record review section,..... Broadly speaking, their assignments were based on decades: McGee handles the artists of the Fities and earlier; Evans tackled the Sixties; Coleman concentrated on the Seventies; and Considine covered from the Eighties to the present. Beyond that chronological breakdown, each writer took on subjects outside their focus either to make a point about certain artists and their relation to a particular period styles - or for the sheer fun of it. The decision to have four writers for the entire guide- as opposed to the more than fifty who contibuted to the earlier versions - resulted from a desire to achieve a consistency of voice and tone in the book, thereby making it valuable as a critical reference.......” Artist - Title of LP-CD (Original Year of Release (if relevant); Current Record Label, Year of Issue-Reviewer)
