Advantages: Good rhythms to do the housework to, some excellent songs Disadvantages: Some songs will appeal to some and not to others.
Housework Songs is a double CD compilation album. The idea is that these songs are all suitable to listen to whilst doing the housework so easing the load and making the dutiful chores a little more enjoyable. On the front cover is a picture of a woman (rather sexist, men do the housework too! At least they do in my house!) singing into her vacuum cleaner. There are 41 songs on the album and there is a good mixture with something for everyone. We have songs from the 1960s including "Pretty Woman", and "Respect", in the 1970s we have "You Sexy Thing" and "American Pie", the 1980s gives us "Fame" and "I Think We're Alone Now", the 1990s gives us "Over My Shoulder"and "Moving on Up" then from the 2000s we have "Spinning Around" and "The Closest Thing To Crazy."
I love this album it has such a fantastic mix of songs, all of which I ...
Advantages: Good music which shows Stevie Wonder?s different styles. Disadvantages: Differences of opinion about greatest hits.
When reviewing an album with ?greatest hits? in the title, by an artist who has used a variety of music styles in his long career, there is bound to be controversy about which tracks should be there. I don?t want to haggle about Stevie Wonder?s best tracks, so far, as I probably wouldn?t end up pleasing many of his fans, if any. (Some critics seem to think that if a song is commercially good, it probably isn?t musically good.) Instead, I want to tell you about the tracks on this album and let you decide whether it is worth buying.
One thing I am sure about is that there is no rubbish on this album. The tracks, to me, are either good or brilliant, therefore, I give the album 5 stars.
A wide range of music influenced Stevie as he grew up including Gospel, Jazz, Reggae, and Motown. All of these influences can be heard on ?A Song ...
Advantages: In my opinion they are all terrific songs Disadvantages: Of course people are going to have different music tastes & some won't like them
There's so many songs that I love & remind me of things but I'll try my best to name 10 of my favourites.
1) Aaliyah - I Miss You
I've always loved this song ever since it was released just after Aaliyah's tragic death in 2001. I loved all her songs & still listen to them on a regular basis. She really set the standard for artists like Beyonce & Rihanna to follow. I also love the video for this too, it's a great tribute to her.
2) 2pac - Dear Mama
I don't know what it is about this song but it really speaks to me, I think 2pac wrote great lyrics & is a real testimony in that they are still releasing his material which I think is great. I loved the duet with Eton John, he's the last person you'd expect to be associated with someone like 2pac but it just shows how respected he was & of course still is.
3) Ashanti - Rain On Me ...
