The Complete Flanders and Swann: at the Drop of a Hat/at the Drop of Another Hat/the Bestiary of Flanders & Swann

CD-Charts > Music > Box Set
by: Flanders & Swann

Release Date October 14, 1991
... of buying three CDs of two men singing comic songs.

Don't be.

Flanders and Swann's "comic songs" are different from most. They have bite, wit, character, fire and - just below the surface - sometimes profound meaning. These are no "ordinary" comic songs.

Neither is Swann's accompaniment at the piano ordinary.

These are CDs that contain true gems. Buy them.

Songs In The Key Of Life

CD-Charts > Music > Box Set
by: Stevie Wonder

Release Date May 08, 2000
I can't add much to what's already been written here. This is an essential album - though I regard all of the following as essential too:

Talking Book
Innervisions
Fulfillingness First Finale

If you're new to Stevie's work, please don't buy a collection, you'll be missing out on so much!

The Who - Ultimate Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Box Set
by: The Who

Release Date October 21, 2002
Thank you CSI. Thank you very much. You give me to things I cherish in life. The Who and Gary Sinise. Amen.
I can rant about how beautiful Gary Sinise is another day, but now, this is all about The Who.
The Who. Who are they you migh ask. Who are The Who? How can you answer a quistion like that...
They are maybe the best British band ever. They are unique. Sensational, brillaint and have fancy hair. (Not pointing at anyone, Roger. XD)
If I ever met someone named Baba O'Riely, i'd tell her to stop crying, we all live in a Teenage Wasteland anyway...
And The Who made that Teenage Wasteland a better place...

Skydivin'

CD-Charts > Music > Box Set
by: Darren Styles

Release Date June 16, 2008
I've read the other reviews on here, all 5*, unfortunately, im going to have to disagree with these people.

Yes, there are the quality Darren Styles classics, like save me, paradise & dreams, come running etc. And i still love these tracks as much as ever. However, as Styles seems to be trying to adapt to the more mainstream audience, he's added some uncharacteristically Styles tracks, such as Girls like you, a track i despise, and Dropzone, which, is just noise to me, and I love the hardcore stuff.

Possibly more of a 3.5* but, because I expected such big things from a Darren Styles album, I was disappointed by Skydivin'.

The one track that stands out the most to me is Sunrise, I can't stop listening to this, if only ... Read More:

The Traveling Wilburys Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Box Set
by: Traveling Wilburys

Release Date December 03, 2007
By trying to find a B side to the then current Harrison single the wheels cranked into motion for one of the most remarkable musical happennings of the 20th century.The fact that it happenned in the 80s made that decade a little more than one in which according to the rock critics "nothing of consequence happenned" and the decade where Dylan is supposed to have cut his worst albums
The music could have lived in the 60s and was in fact made by survivors from the 60s (and 70s re Tom Petty who was really a carry on of the 60s).
The Travelling Wilburys probably intended to make just the one album but a 2nd one would follow named Volume 3 on purpose.
The Travelling Wilburys were not without tragedy as Roy Orbison passed away and his intended replacement ... Read More:

The Very Best Of Euphoric Dance Breakdown 2008

CD-Charts > Music > Box Set
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 18, 2008
I bought this cd, after seeing that I liked a couple of the songs. Three cd's have a variety of what I would class as dance from the first being newer to the third cd being from a bit earlier. The best features for me was that they all link into each other, stopping you having to wait for the next track. This cd is really worth the money!

Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Box Set
by: Lynyrd Skynyrd

Release Date June 06, 2005
This CD, whilst a great compilation of Lynyrd Skynyrd's most noted songs, appears to have a manufacturing/recording flaw in it. I have tried a couple of copies of this CD, and both have had the same flaw in it, so it appears every copy has it. In the last 30 seconds of the song "Simple Man", one of Skynyrd's finest in my opinion, the sound suddenly goes strange for about 2 seconds before returning to normal. It's not a jump in the CD, the sound quality just goes strange, and strange is the only word to describe it. As I mentioned, I have purchased more than one copy of this CD as I presumed this flaw would not be in all the copies, but it has been there in all the copies I've purchased, and I've had to return them all. When listening to the CD on a high quality stereo, this ... Read More:
