Collection, The - Central Line

Advantages: Every track's a winner!!!
Disadvantages: NONE!

...Madonna truly reigns as the Queen Of Pop to this day (and that really is no overstatement)! For over twenty years in the music business Madonna has never ceased to amaze and surprise with each new release of an album. The Immaculate Collection (1990) is a just mere skimming of some of the masterpiece productions that propelled and catapulted her into world-wide recognition and acclaim with critics. Her shrewd choice of songs remains uncanny! Holiday, a nifty, distinctley early 1980's, up-tempo Pop classic was infact Madonna's second release, following her debut single, Everybody, which had steered into more club/dance trends of the day (and bombed). Holiday, with its contagious groove is further ignited by Madonna's unique and distinct vocal approach, which has grown stronger and yet more refined over recent years. Holiday became... Read review

Advantages: Gives Normans fans an idea of how his musical taste and talent has developed

Advantages: Great foot tapping sing-along tracks

...If you have seen the film Walk the Line starring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon and loved the music in the film then you may want to buy the soundtrack as it is just as great. & even if you haven't seen the film but love great foot tapping country/ Rock 'n' Roll songs with some slower country/blues ballads mixed in then this may be for you too. I thought the film was absolutely amazing and so went out and bought the soundtrack the very next day. I have loved Johnny Cash's music for a long time but do not have any of his cd's. One of the great aspects of the film was that the singers all did their own singing and nobody mimed a word. Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon are so convincing as Johnny Cash and June Carter that when I put the cd on, it could almost be the real thing. Tracks: 1. Get Rhythm - sung by Phoenix...
