As a longtime Radiohead fan (one of my 3 favorite groups), I thought I'd finally start reviewing some of their albums. Looking at them comparatively with each other and as albums on their own right. I start with the Bends because this is the album that really made Radiohead who they are. Previous to this album, Radiohead was going to be a one-hit wonder. Thom ...             The Calling77 reviews Mary Chapin Carpenter Zoe Records, 2007 BEST MCC YET ,SHE'S MATURED LIKE A FINE WINE! This album is her best yet. If you're looking for some of her more hook heavy styled songs like ,SHUT UP&KISS ME ,I FEEL LUCKY& PASSIONET KISSES,this may not be the album for you.If you're looking for songs with depth, passion and strong lyrical and musical content,BUY IT! She has come a long way since her early days. The more you listen to it the more you will love it. The songs have real heart, ...             The Formation of Damnation75 reviews Testament Nuclear Blast Americ, 2008 Doesn't get much metaller... 2008 has so far been a pretty good year for good old fashioned heavy metal. Iced Earth and Metallica have both had great comebacks right when I feared that both bands might be over, and if that weren't enough, you can add to that what is possibly the best of them all with this awesome new release from Testament. Their first album of original material in nearly ten years, "The Formation of ...             Quadrophenia287 reviews The Who Mca, 1996 A BRILLIANT PRODUCTION ! (introspective and deeply personal, Quadrophenia is a rock opera that rocks) The Who's Quadrophenia (1973) is a double album rock opera that covers a Monday through Friday week in the life of Jimmy, a young man afflicted with a multi-personality disorder that includes four personalities. A tough guy, a helpless dancer. A romantic, is it me for a moment? A bloody lunatic, I'll even carry your bags. A beggar, a hypocrite, love reign over me. Schizophrenic? I'm ...             Essential Mozart: 32 Of His Greatest Masterpieces17 reviews Fritz Dolezal, Franklin Cohen, ... Decca, 2001 What a deal You get Mozart's best works in 2 CD. The sound is flawless to the common ear. Get it! if you love Mozart             The Lion King (A Walt Disney Masterpiece)462 reviews Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Matthew Broderick Walt Disney Home Video, 1995 Must Have for any family This movie is sooo well known that my review will probably not make a difference in the decision for someone to purchase and own this video. It is a broadway classic as well and a must have for anyone.             Stand Up102 reviews Jethro Tull Capitol, 2002 They put the classic in classic rock I was a freshman at Valley Jr. College in Van Nuys, CA and one fine warm winter morning I heard the opening chords of "We Used to Know" ringing out on a 12 string guitar. A very lovely young lady was sitting on the grass strumming those chords with her eyes closed. She was dressed in sandals, blue jeans and a peasant shirt. When she opened he mouth to sing I thought that Joan Baez had taken ...             Benefit100 reviews Jethro Tull Capitol, 2002 best Tull album... Aqualung may be Jethro Tull's most commercially popular album, but it's predecessor, Benefit, is their best album.             Modern Times309 reviews Bob Dylan Sony, 2006 Bob Still Has It My first Bob Dylan CD was a Greatest Hits compilation which introduced me to the Bob Dylan of late (Things Have Changed, Summer Days, Feel My Love, etc). After hearing those songs, I knew I had to get Time Out of Mind, Love and Theft and Modern Times. Love and Theft is the only CD I haven't gotten yet. Modern Times, for the most part, at first seemed a tad slow, if you will. But like a lot ...             Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar Masterpieces18 reviews Essential Guitar: 34 Gtr Masterpieces Decca, 2002 Two-and-a-half hours of bliss This may be the best money I've ever spent. I got 2-1/2 hours of bliss for less than what I'd usually pay for one CD -- and you know how it is with music. You buy an album because of a song or two that you love, and you find that you like maybe half the songs on it. There's not a single selection in this one that I would've left out. It includes Joaquin Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez, performed ...             Angel Dust238 reviews Faith No More Reprise / Wea, 1992 Every review of this album on Amazon is DEAD ON!! If you don't own it, you should. I was lucky enough to have bought it in 1992. It's survived every move, the USMC, every girlfriend and every CD player until it finally landed on my iPod...where it still gets heavy rotation. I feel fortunate that I saw FNM tour in support of Angel Dust and I suppose if anything that makes me feel a little old. If you're thinking about buying it, buy a few ...             300 Years of Guitar Masterpieces16 reviews Isaac Albeniz, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Vox (Classical), 1992 Exquisite I was browsing Amazon, shopping for gifts, and when I listened to the snippets of this, I couldn't resist ordering it for myself. It's a 3CD set of beautiful, varied music played by a brilliantly skilled and sensitive master. Barrueco has an extraordinary touch that seems perfect for each piece, from Bach to Paganini to Villa-Lobos. Anyone who likes classical guitar would treasure this set.             Forever Changes166 reviews Love Elektra / Wea, 2001 Redefines the meaning of five stars "Oh, the snot has caked against my pants/It has turned into crystal." That's how 'Live And Let Live' begins, and it is easy to see why this was Jim Morrison's favorite band. Acoustic guitars everywhere and beautiful harmonies The Beatles would love, and I could not recommend this anymore. I have listened to "Pet Sounds" and while I tolerated it I didn't see what all the big deal was, but ...             Jethro Tull Christmas Album (Bonus DVD)39 reviews Jethro Tull Fuel 2000, 2004 A Tull Christmas My husband is the Jethro Tull fan in our household, so when I saw this album I had to buy it for him. I myself am not a Tull fan, but I found myself enjoying this album. I appreciate Ian Anderson's take on Christmas celebrations and the music was great!! I would recommend this album to any casual Jethro Tull fan, or non-Tull fans as well.             Beethoven: Complete Masterpieces (Germany) (60 CD Limited Edition Box Set)11 reviews Beethoven Sony / BMG Import, 2007 Bargain, bargain, bargain. You will NEVER need to regret for purchasing the entire set at the offered price. I need not go through the ENTIRE set again to illustrate. I would only point out that just to name a few of the performances included, and you will immediately rush to obtain this bargain set: I have never before listened to Yefim Bronfman's Beethoven. Here is his 5 Beethoven piano concertos under the baton of ...             Beauty & Crime47 reviews Suzanne Vega Blue Note Records, 2007 Bold, Beautiful and Her Best Modern day folk at its best...she creates stories with her poetry in a minimal amount of words. Another singer-songwriter that I put in this camp is Arrica Rose especially in her new release, La La Lost.             25 Thunderous Classics7 reviews Ludwig van Beethoven, Hector Berlioz, ... Vox (Classical), 2000 You will like this! I had purchased an abundance of the "Favorites" collection and some were better than others. This CD is at the top of them all. They may be short, but not that short. Wondrous music. I can almost guarantee that you will like this music. Well worth the price!             Classical Wedding43 reviews Various Artists Spring Hill, 1996 Excellent Wedding CD In leiu of an organist, we opted to use this CD for our daughter's wedding. I loved the song selection and the order of the songs worked perfect for the prelude, and postlude. I was so excited with I heard the songs I couldn't wait to use this at the wedding. It was perfect!             The Turning Point33 reviews John Mayall Polydor / Umgd, 2001 I love this disc I bought this album when albums were albums...i.e. in the vinyl record days. I've purchased a total of three copies, since I've worn out them years later (though I prefer the warmth of vinyl). That said, I'm glad this disc is still in print. There's not a bad tune in the lot. Probably my favorites are 'I'm going to fight for you J.B.' and 'California'. This is a CD that is fresh and ...             Mariah Carey166 reviews Mariah Carey Sony, 1990 Excellent debut album. This album is great. Mariah sounds better than ever. Too bad she has been declining with every album she puts on the market after Music Box came out. In 2008 this is the Mariah I still love to listen to.              search for popular music beauty, beethoven, benefit, calling, carey, changes, christmas, classical, classics, complete, damnation, disney, edition, essential, forever, formation, germany, greatest, guitar, jethro, limited, mariah, masterpiece, masterpieces, modern, mozart, quadrophenia, thunderous, turning, wedding popular music:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
