Her Greatest Inspirational Songs - Amy Grant

Advantages: Inexpensive and fairly compact
Disadvantages: Silly claims on the box. Probably not sufficiently true for the serious user

...Until recently, I've not needed speakers for my computer here at work. I had earphones (not improbably loose ones) for those rare occasions I needed sound, and the company we shared offices with always had their music playing (some of which was truly odd, but that's another story). The company with whom we were sharing offices have now moved, and so I seized the opportunity to play my music without earphones(all hail Last.fm), and thus ordered a pair of speakers. As these are not mine (I'm claiming them on expenses), I didn't want to pay a fortune for them, so I searched Amazon.co.uk and found that they were selling Creative Inspire 265 speakers for the very reasonable price of £15.43 including delivery (£10.93 before delivery). My taste in music is esoteric. I like folk, rock, folk rock (see a trend developing here?), prog rock... Read review

...For me the young songstress Amy Winehouse is a prolific performer. The atmosphere which fills out any room when she performs, or even when you play her CD is astounding. Amy Winehouse is a 19 year old who hails from North London, who writes most of her music on guitar.

When listening to Winehouse’s debut album, Frank, it is not hard to notice the musical influences who of which she has... Read review

...released in 2006 and has gone from strength to selling over 5 million copies worldwide and being voted best album of the year 2007. FRONT COVER You would recognise the album in any shop as it has Amy Winehouse appearing and written across a black background. It doesn't scream look at me unlike some of her songs. It doesn't need to its nice, simple and does the job. You couldn't imagine Amy spending days in the photo studio to tart the cover up it is very much Amy Winehouse style a sitting pose looking quite thoughtful and in some ways troubled. Here is a track list and what my views are on each song. Rehab - This is probably the most well known song Amy has sung. It won the award of song of the year and still constantly paid on the radio. It is a real poppy song as it is quite fast paced and easy to sing a long to. It is the perfect... Read review
