10,000 Years Under The Street - Baby Mammoth

Advantages: Classic 70's Presley
Disadvantages: Segmented Title Track

...Elvis "Country" Album is one of Presleys best seventies offerings. It features much under-rated songs such as "It's Your Baby You Rock It" and "Little Cabin On The Hill", though I feel that the re-issue of this album on CD would have benfited by not having segments of "I Was Born About 10,000 Years Ago" played in between each track. The Title track should, I feel, have been featured in full as a separate track. Having said that, this album is an example of The Kings versatility, and proves that he had a natural talent to cover a variety including Country.... Read review

Advantages: They're fairly feckin' good
Disadvantages: Well, it's not about White Ladder is it?

...Oh yeah by the way, I just wanted to show people my top 10 albums but they won't put it up, so I decided to put it under the first album. Please rate the opinion and not the location. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, please relax. Yes, I know you can't wait for my top 10 albums because of my huge writing talent on Ciao, but come on, is the screaming necessary? So anyway the rules are: 1.

No particular order because it's far too difficult to say which ones are my favourite. 4. Favourite track from the album must be included. So, let's begin: David Gray - White Ladder Yes, I know people are fed up of seeing it in Top 10 lists (myself included) but for me it is a truly stunning album. With the outstanding Please...

Advantages: These are three of Diana Ross' best albums
Disadvantages: NONE!

...mesmerising is the hauntingly atmospheric, Lover Man (Oh Where Can You Be) which is blusey and deep in its rather sombre tone. Lady Sings The Blues (1972) was recorded by Diana Ross under the close supervision and guidance of Gil Askey (who worked with Diana Ross extensivley throughout her solo career) and her then boss, Berry Gordy. On the whole, the entire project is given noble justice by the wise vocal approach of Diana Ross who excells on these recordings which are such a vast step away from that of her more contemporary R&B style and capture some of her strongest and most passionate vocal performances. Lady Sings The Blues Original Motion Picture Soundtrack sold well over 300,000 copies within its first eight days of release, quickly catapulting up to the top of the album charts, becoming an effective trailer for the forthcoming release...
