Heart On Snow - Marc Almond

Advantages: It's Fantastic and timeless
Disadvantages: None!

...Marc Anthony. Who is he, you may well ask? Well, in my opinion he is a genius song writer and an incredibly talented and heart-felt singer: a man that puts his whole being into every word he sings. Marc Anthony is a 32 year old American Latino, born and raised in Spanish Harlem. Although he has had a huge following in Latin countries since the early 90's, he only received international acclaim in the English speaking world after the release of this album, in September 1999.

Advantages: Seventies glam
Disadvantages: none

...From the London underground of the mid to late sixties there were rumbles of a new star, a new people's hero a new superstar. He had risen in popularity the hard way but at the beginning of the Seventies Marc Bolan had his first commercial hit and glam rock was born. With his pink Bolero and glittered eyes he took the Seventies to new heights along with groups like Sweet, Mud and Slade. His elfish charm and cockney wit were to make him one of the biggest stars since the Beatles. The music papers of the time hailed him as the new king The Wizard of Notting Hill, not since the hey day of the Beatles had such a mania been seen in Britain. Glam Rock was here and T.Rexstasy was leading the way. With his group T.Rex Marc was to have a succession of number one hits and many top ten hits. His youthful exuberance had the teenage girls...
