Recommend book of "must have" rock albums


I'm looking for a book that walks through a list of "must have" rock albums. I searched Amazon and Audiogon, but didn't see any strong opinions for a particular book.

Here's what I'd like to see:

1) A good decription of why this album is a "must have"
2) Decent pictures
3) Enough information to help me connect with this new-to-me material.
4) If an artist has mutiple great albums, give me some guidence on where to start.

Any suggestions?

Take a look at Amazon's Essential Recordings as well as the comments from those who wrote reviews. Lots of references about which album is better then the other and what else you have to hear from the same artist or in a related vein.
