The Very Best of Sting and the Police

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Sting

Release Date February 18, 2002
What can you say about "Best of ..." albums that simply list the hits? Well, as "Best of" album's go, this is one of the best! Nine Police hits and another nine of Sting's as a soloist, all written by the main man himself.

One of the benefits of this format is that it allows you to revisit songs away from the context of the album in which they originally appeared. And so I was able to appreciate just how brilliant "Fields of Gold", "Brand New Day", "Desert Rose" and "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" really are: they are truly five-star songs. But the downside is that you also realise just how annoying is "Can't Stand Losing You".

But that's the only duff track in what is an excellent selection of songs.

After the Gold Rush

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Neil Young

Release Date July 31, 1987
This album was on constant play throughout an American road-trip of mine in a camper van from festival to festival, state to state, gradually heading westward to California. I was 18 at the time and the year was 1989. The start of the journey began at the Woodstock festival, twenty years on, (opened with a speech from Jimi Hendrix's father and a set by Richie Havens). As a consequence it is drenched in memories.

This album has it all. Steeped in the golden glow of the times, it covers many areas of being, heartache, visions, psychedelic thoughts, glimpses of pastoral idylls, all set within a hybrid of folk/country/rock that is distinctively Neil's own. His thin nasally voice is perfect throughout, the harmonies sublime, the quality of ... Read More:

Cohen Live

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Leonard Cohen

Release Date January 25, 1999
I've been a Cohen fan as far back as I can remember. I had a feeling I wouldn't be disappointed by this album, since Cohen's live backup singers are legendary, and I was right. These are without a doubt the most beautiful and emotional versions of the songs ever recorded, and I find it impossible to listen to the album as mere background music; as soon as the music starts playing, I can't help but close my eyes and just let the music envelop me completely.

The songs "Bird on a Wire" and "Sisters of Mercy" are worthy of special mention. The tempo is lower, the saxophone sexier and the vocals deeper and more intense than ever before, and the result defies description. I would have gladly paid in blood to be at the show where they were recorded.

Accelerate (digipack)

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: REM

Release Date March 31, 2008
Really enjoyed this fast-paced exhilerating album. It's actually the exactb album they promised after automatic but they gave us monster instead. Monster would be an interesting avant-guard sort of thing to be doing these days. Instead we get something so good we just don't deserve it. Unbelievably good and so reminiscent of lots of pre-green albums.

The Essential Bob Dylan

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Bob Dylan

Release Date June 07, 2004
In the beginning the way into Dylan was via Peter Paul & Mary,the Turtles,the Byrds and Johnny Cash.
And commercially electric Dylan was just right.
This CD is just a sampler and introduction to the Art of Dylan.If you want more you get the original albums on CD.All but one have been on catalog since CDs began.
My favorite Dylan song is Can you please crawl out your window.
Thus this double CD would only be of interest if there was a booklet with it and its by no means the only one of its kind as the most recent-titled DYLAN and in 3 different editions -comes with a picture book.
Today's Dylan collector needs plenty of money and plenty of room

Hits Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Dusty Springfield

Release Date February 28, 2000
If you were born in the late 1940's to early 1950's then you will be more than familiar with Dusty Springfield. She was on TV more than most, (and we only had 3 channels), and out of the 21 tracks on here virtually every one of them was a single. It's one of those great CD's where, even if you have a lousy voice, you put it on and find yourself singing along. Dusty may have been more for Mum's and Dad's at the time, but growing up when her hits were around, I find I enjoy this album more now than ever before. Nostalgia. That's what it is. And Dusty's unique voice is better than any around today!

Queen And Paul Rodgers - Return Of The Champions [2005]

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
starring: Queen, Paul Rodgers

Release Date October 31, 2005
Fantastic, fanastic, fantastic! I was fortunate to be present at this concert and was even more fortunate to be almost within 'plucking' distance of Bri's guitar strings... even made several guest appearances!!! A truly brilliant concert... probably the best I have ever attended.
I have been a Queen fan for many years a Paul Rodgers one (Free & Bad Company) for even longer. Like many people have said (Brian & Roger included) Paul was never going to be a replacement for Dear old Freddie and he never tries to be. Instead he puts his own mark on the Queen material and it works extremely well. A must buy DVD... fantastic!

Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Bruce Springsteen

Release Date January 01, 1995
You can't go wrong with Bruce Springsteen's entire catalogue, and seeing as how most are on a very low price you could pick them at random and still have a lot of nice surprises (but maybe not the Lucky Town era). This compilation is an interesting mix of tracks, but it barely scratches the surface particularly of the pre Born In The USA time and centres too much on the ones since then. There's practically nothing from Greetings, The Wild, Nebraska and Darkness, the huge amount of live tracks are also overlooked, so I think this is aimed more at the very casual listener who isn't concerned what great album tracks they're missing. Sadly only Born In The USA and one track off Born To Run get all the attention on the radio, so I say to anyone you should buy any of the albums because ... Read More:

Shrek

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
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!

Help!

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
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 muy acertadamente la epoca "inocente" ...
