Unique

This is quickly growing dated, but the Zagat Music Guide is quite good. True, as with any product based on surveys, the ratings won't line up with anybody's personal tastes exactly, but that doesn't negate many of the guide's assets. The book's boldest strength is its ecumenical purity; all music is rated against all other types of music. As a result, the guide not only covers all genres, but it also serves as an excellent map to exploring new avenues of the musical world. Interested in opera? Try the top-rated works here. Blues? Look at the list of blues albums. Sure, it has flaws, but any guide that includes Surfer Rosa, Kind of Blue, Beethoven's Ninth, Blood on the Tracks, and Howlin' Wolf jumbled all together is not going to be boring or to steer you far wrong...
