The Best of Leonard Cohen

Advantages: Cohens influencial greatness, lovely songs
Disadvantages: ...No Hallelujah

OPINION I first heard of Leonard Cohen at a friends house as a record, the song was "Suzanne" and I loved it. I remembered the name and to my delight I found his CD in the Woolworths price crunch a while back now. His songs are so calming but have lyrics that explore ideas of religion, isolation, sexuality and complex interpersonal relationships, so as calm as they seem their underlying provocations are deeply moving. ARTIST Leonard Cohen is a ...
...rooted in European folk music, his 1970's music encompasses pop, chaberet and world music and since the 1980's his high baritone voice took on more low registers, often accompanied by electronic synthesizers and female backing singers. His writing has influenced lots of singer-songwriters and more than a thousand renditions of his work have been recorded. TRACK LIST 1. Suzanne 2. Sisters Of Mercy 3. So Long Marianne 4. Bird On The Wire 5. Lady Midnight ...

...only do i have the greatest hits album i also own the first two albums as well her first album come on over and her second album up. Shania twain has got to be one of the most contempery selling country singers her voice is very versitile she can take a country song such as KA-CHING and make it sound like a pop song yet still keeping her country style.

Review of Greatest Hits - Shania Twain

A great guy

Advantages: A good review of most of his hits
Disadvantages: None

I got this album because I'd heard quite a lot of his music and gradually became a fan of his. I found that there was a lot of songs on this album that I'd not heard before and little that I had, which I found was good because it made me think that I could get to like more of what he's done. Songs on this album: Indian Outlaw Don't Take The Girl She Never Lets It Go To Her Heart I Like It, I Love It Just To See You Smile It's Your Love - ...
...A Little While Please Remember Me Something Like That My Best Friend Maybe We Should Just Sleep On It Down On The Farm My Next Thirty Years Let's Make Love (With Faith Hill) The album consists of his earlier hits and his later hits from 1994 - 1999 and I have to confess I got it for one song only called 'Don't Take The Girl'...I loved this song the first time I heard it and it still brings a lump to my throat when I hear it, the song is about ...

Review of Greatest Hits - Tim McGraw

collection of musical genius

Advantages: Unique, addictive, enjoyably deep
Disadvantages: lyrics open to interperetation

Depending on your taste, weather you are a fan of all dylans work , his folk , his rock, or other various styles he has covered, this is an effective sampling of dylans work which covers a range of his fantastic songs, but i wouldnt see that it gives the range of his work, however it is in a set of volumes therefore has a sampling of the period. The compliation covers works that dylan decided to play electrically after moving from folk, but the ...
...his songs have 2 or 3 editions as he often covered his songs, the period in which these songs are taken from display an excellent idea of his style from this time. If you are a keen collector of dylans variety of work then this is a good buy as it grabs a period of dylans work, and will give you a slice of the times. So ultimatly the album is a great selection of music and will really a peal to anyone, but in my opinion if you are a lover of dylan ...
