Just Look Them Straight in the Eye and Say...Pogue Mahone 5 reviews
The Pogues
Wea Int'l, 2008
The Mother Lode
My. God.
This is no "best of" box set, recycling the same stuff you've already got in your collection...I own just about every official and unofficial recording the Pogues have ever released, and this compilation is almost entirely new to me. Live tracks. Demos. Peel Sessions. Remixes.
More than just a box set, this is archival stuff - the recorded history of one of the best (and most ...

Billy Joel
Sony, 2001
If my mom loves it, then that's all I care about :)
I purchased this for my mom who is a huge Billy Joel fan! She has seen him in concert so many times throughout her life (I've seen him a few times along with her). I know that every one of Billy's albums are her favorite, but I wanted to buy her a cd with most of his greatest hits so she could keep them in her car. She is very happy with this set. She loves the information in the booklet/sleeve. ...

Creedence Clearwater Revival
Fantasy, 2001
Sweet Music
This box set gives you all studio and live albums in one, compact and uniform looking box set. CCR has many good songs, all of their popular ones are very good, but there are lots of other good ones that are not so popular. It comes with 6 discs. One disc is pre-creedence material that is actually very worthwhile. Two of the discs are kind of a live version of songs. The set also comes with ...

The Slip [Vinyl]
Nine Inch Nails
THE NULL CORPORATION, 2008
The Slip (also known as Halo 27) is the eighth major studio release by Industrial Rock act Nine Inch Nails. The album was produced by Trent Reznor alongside Atticus Ross and Alan Moulder. The album features vocals and traditional song structures, unlike its 2008 counterpart Ghosts I-IV. Much like Ghosts I-IV, the album was released under a Creative Commons license, allowing fans to remix and reuse all or part of the album non-commercially. A ...

Great CD's
I bought this as a replacement for the ones my husband already had and used until they no longer sounded like CD's rather old 8-track tapes. Thank you very much for having the 4-CD set. He really liked them.

The Phantom of the Opera (Original 1986 London Cast)411 reviews
Andrew Lloyd Webber, Michael Reed, ...
Decca Broadway, 2001
A Phantom Fan's Perspective
The Phantom Of The Opera soundtrack by Andrew Lloyd Webber is the best and most meaningful music ever created. The music provides story with a catchy tune and still provides a powerful theme. Throughout the songs you can establish a story about a young opera singer named Christine, and how she has encounters with the Phantom. The song, "The Point of no Return", is the most meaningful because it ...

All Things Must Pass [BOXED EDITION]356 reviews
George Harrison
Capitol, 2001
George: The Genius One
Do yourself a favor: buy this album. When it arrives, put everything else aside, get your headphones on, lie on your bed, close your eyes, and listen to it beginning to end. This is an album that deserves to be listened to in one sequence before you start listening to each song individually.
This album is a journey through George's soul, and if you're lucky, your own soul as well. Yes, it's ...

Great collection of songs
I can recall this band when i was a child having alot of hits.Some of the songs i remember from those days were S.O.S. and Waterloo.My mum bought some of their albums and i just loved a heap of their songs.By the late 70's i started ignoring them as they got so much attention by the media.But i still liked alot of their tunes.Radio stations seemed to ignore this band alot in the 80's here.But i ...

Yaz
Mute U.S., 2008
Overdue Tribute To An Often Overlooked 80's Group
Yazoo were always more popular in the UK than the US, but their two albums spawned perennial club hits that still get played today. This box set collects the two albums, remastered at last, and finally with their tracklists matching their original UK counterparts.
Many US fans would be surprised to realize that two of the groups biggest club hits, "Situation" and "State Farm", were not ...

The Rules of Hell15 reviews
Black Sabbath
Rhino Records, 2008
Great Stuff!
I'm not going to go into the Ozzy versus Ronnie versus Tony Martin versus Ian Gillan etc debut. The simple fact is that each singer brought their own vibe to the band and all of them are great singers in they're own right. However Ronnie seems to fit the Sabbath sound perfectly. His strong vocals and the way he presents them just seem to take the band to new levels.
This little Box Set will ...

Willie Nelson
Sony, 2008
Too short to overview his 5 decades.
I love his warm and shivering voice and I find it happy and amazing that his Family still play with him. There will be compilations of his 80 years anniversary, however, his speed of releasing albums is too fast and it will get to be more and more difficult to compile his tunes into anyone's favorites. He will never have any trip to Japan because of the strict examination for entry. I wish I ...

The next best thing to being at a live concert
This album has taken all the best live performances and put them into one album... since they are all live the have woven the tracks from one to the other seamlessly so this album seems like a live concert...

The Who: The Ultimate Collection208 reviews
The Who
Mca, 2002
A worthy collection of The Who's best
Recently, what's left of The Who (Daltrey and Townshend) showed that they could still produce interesting music, with their "Endless Wire." A great album? No, but a solid one. And this collection of 35 cuts in all provides a terrific introduction to The Who's oeuvre. There can be questions about why certain cuts were included and others were excluded, but this is not one of those flawed ...

Elton John
Utv Records, 2002
WOW
It's no wonder Elton John is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a Grammy and Academy Award winner. From "Your Song" and "Tiny Dancer" to "I Want Love"
One of my Favorite live concerts of Elton John's is his benefit for Hillary Clinton for President in 2008 (she ended up receiving more votes than any Presidential primary candidate in history)

Billy Joel
Sony Legacy, 2008
Nostalgic...beautiful and amazing.
Even 30 years after its debut, The Stranger is still a classic. Throw in The Old Grey Whistle Test, a Carnegie Hall poster, a copy of Joel's lyric notebook, a previously un-released live show and a recent interview and what do you get?
Pure magic...I loved it.
Oh, and can't forget the booklet, either! It has plenty of pictures from The Stranger times and is an amazing addition.

Bruce Springsteen
Sony, 2003
The Essential Bruce Springsteen
The two disks of actual greatest hits are the reason to buy this set. They trace Bruce from the days when he was more of a songwriter for others (Manfred Mann "For You" and "Blinded by the Light") to his first major hit "Born To Run" where you get the unpolished Bruce, to "Darkness on the Edge of Town" where you get the same gravelly voice but with a certain fluidity to the songs, up though ...
