Help!

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: The Beatles

Release Date November 01, 1988
Con este album, parte del sondtrack de la pelicula del mismo nombre, los 4 genios de Liverpool nos dan una ultima muestra de su talento como compositores de lindas pero simples melodias "pop"; luego vendria su tremenda evolucion y complicacion musical, a partir de RUBBER SOUL, su siguiente album; pero al analizar cada cancion, siempre se encuentran esos destellos de gran talento de los fab-four; desde el impresionante HELP!, las lindas baladas I NEED YOU (de George), YOU'RE GONNA LOSE THAT GIRL (buenas armonias),IT'S ONLY LOVE y la monumental YESTERDAY (que gran cancion); pasando por grandes rocks como TICKET TO RIDE y I'VE JUST SEEN A FACE, muy buenos covers como DIZZY MISS LIZZIE,y algo de country con ACT NATURALLY, este es un disco que cierra ...

Movement: Collector's Edition/Remastered & Expanded

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: New Order

Release Date September 29, 2008
This 2 disc set collects the first album and all of the singles at that time. The bonus disc includes: Ceremony, Temptation 7"mix, In a Lonely Place, Everyting's Gone Green, Procession, Cries and Whispers, Hurt and Mesh, Ceremony (Alt Version), Temptation 12" Mix. Neither of the versions on disc two is the Substance version of Temptation like another review says.

The album was the beginning for NO and definitely different than later albums. But the beginnings are all there, from the bass hooks, to the driving drums. Sumner's vocals are more like Ian Curtis's on this than on future albums.

Rhino did a nice job with this package. Sonically, disc 1 (the album) is excellent. Disc 2's sonics are ok, but could have been better.

The Ultimate Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: The Kinks

Release Date September 13, 2004
It has been difficult for some time to buy a Kinks compilation that truely represents how good a band they were.

For me, this collection does just that. The real advantage is the second disk which I, contrary to the previous reviewer, think is the main reason for buying this cd above any of the other alternatives.

In particular, the tracks David Watts, Dandy, Mr Pleasant, Where Have all the Good Times Gone?, Well Respected Man, Starstruck and Shangri La are all fantastic songs. Shangri La in particular is an overlooked gem.

If you are speculating whether to get a Kinks cd or not, then this should really be the place to make your first stop.

Best Of

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Def Leppard

Release Date October 25, 2004
Def Leppard outsold many band of the 1980s, and this compliation of their best hits proves why. Hits from the early years of recording, like "Photograph" and "Rock of Ages" are within the compilation, and are complimented with the hits from their biggest selling album, "Hysteria", like "Animal", and "Rocket". Included also are some songs from their albums in the mid 1990s, like "When Love And Hate Collide", which scored highly in the UK charts. Of course, their biggest hit, "Pour Some Sugar on Me" is the first track, so that will definately get any listener going.

The band itself produces absolutely brilliant music, and this album clarifies the imapct Def Leppard had on the music world. I would also call this a masterpiece.

Respect - The Very Best of Aretha Franklin

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Aretha Franklin

Release Date June 03, 2002
The GREATEST SINGER EVER !!!! There are many great singers in this world but Aretha's in a class no one can top. My Elite List (which includes Aaron Neville and other legends) has Aretha at the TOP !!!

That voice is from a place none of us will ever get to. Angels blessed Aretha's vocal chords and went back and blessed them again. This album has so many unbelievable classic songs. Aretha is one of my heroes. If I could sing like her for the day it would be a dream.

An outstanding album. Listen with amazement. Enjoy every second. You will love every song. Aretha...THANK YOU SO MUCH. Your voice lifts my spirit and to be in your presence would be a dream.

Everybody Knows This is Nowhere

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Neil Young

Release Date October 01, 1999
Shortly after his first album Young released a rather patchy album that's real claim to fame was the first appearance of Crazy Horse. The voice is more assured than on the opener but that takes away some of the quirkiness that made the opener sound fresher than a rather stodgy offering in which Young seems to be desperately trying to make a niche for himself.

Version

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Mark Ronson

Release Date April 16, 2007
This album should just not work..... but it does. I had the same feeling when the Scissor Sisters covered one of my all time favourites... Comfortably Numb, I wanted to hate it, but the version was so good I couldn't. The one track I dont like is Pretty Green, but apart from that I loved the originals of these tracks and in some cases I like the covers even more. The highlight (not the obvious Amy Winehouse track) is Stop me, how you can merge the Smiths into 90's dance music, I dont know?..... Mark Ronson does!

Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Neil Young

Release Date November 15, 2004
I had the pleasure of seeing Neil Young live in Kent last weekend. It was great to see he is still on tremendous form after all these years. With a catalogue of about thirty albums it is difficult for newcomers to his work to know where to start their collection, but this compilation covers a lot of his best known music. In fact according to the man himself it was compiled according to sales of the songs, airplay and known download history which gives the track selection credibility.

The collection begins with three of Neil Youngs' key songs- two epics which demonstrate the remarkable craftsmanship behind his output (Down by the River and Cowgirl in the Sand) and the shorter, harder edged 'Cinnamon Girl', an instantly catchy number. These songs are all taken from ... Read More:

Bat Out of Hell

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Meat Loaf

Release Date March 05, 2001
If I had to burn my rock CD collection but were aloud to keep a handful, I know that Meatloaf's "Bat Out Of Hell" would be one of albums that i'd save straight away.
This album is just pure genius and one cannon't fail to be surprised when knowing that it's still a bestseller even today, three decades after it was first released.
Awesome songs, awesome album, do yourself a favour and buy it!

Shrek

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Various Artists

Release Date March 11, 2002
My family and I loved the movie Shrek (of course!), and for Christmas my eleven-year-old daughter asked for this soundtrack. We got it for her, and we are all very happy! The songs sound wonderful: crisp and clear. My whole family recommends this wonderful CD to you.

Plus, I must say that with this soundtrack is so wonderful that I would recommend it even to those who have never seen the movie. It's absolutely great!
