David Oistrakh Collection, Volume 2

Advantages: all the hits and classics
Disadvantages: stops at 1987 and some excellent album tracks are missing

...Three Cds of the best of Bowie from 1969 through to 1987. Astonishingly good value for money and a very good overview of the period. Of course fans will debate whether of not these songs truly are the Best, but as an introduction for the newcomer, or as a handy round up of the singles for the fan (and many of the single edits are different from the album versions) you can't really go wrong with this set. The pacaking is minimal, and the slightly odd non chronological order doesn't work for me, but the individual tracks are all good and showcase the sheer breadth of talent that Bowie has. From the stright ahead rock of "The Jean Genie" to the shimmering funk of "Golden Years" to the European iciness of "Sound And Vision" to the glorious dance pop of "Let's Dance" and so much more, this is probably the best introduction to David Bowie...

Advantages: Musical variation a style
Disadvantages: A highly sexual orientated album

...and opinion, so please sit back and enjoy, here is my CD album review of: **Madonna: "GHV2" (Greatest Hits Volume 2)** **About Madonna** Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone was born August 1958 in Michigan, USA. She has become a household name to millions of people across the world. Such an inspirational figure that very few people haven't heard of.

She has used her fame and fortune to help promote charities and has helped fight against the war of Aids awareness (By donating her own money and also, by jumping on the bandwagon when most people shied away from such charities). She has constantly revamped her image in the many years of her career which has allowed her to keep her music fresh and yet original... Read review

Advantages: Current American Idol winner, a musician
Disadvantages: None

...This...... is the current American Idol Winner. David Cook is the American Idol that nearly never was. He actually was not initially going to try out for the television talent show, he was at the auditions to support his brother but, after some pushing from his brother, decided to audition too. A good decision, because he became the winner of the seventh season of American Idol in 2008. David Cook is classified as a Rock, singer-songwriter. His sound is definitely very rocky, but in my opinion quite soft rock. He has a very deep, raspy voice that lends itself very well to this type of music. What I really like about him is that he can actually play an instrument, unlike a lot of the new pop stars out there today who are just manufactured. He plays the guitar and actually used it quite a lot when he was performing on Idol. If you look... Read review
