r&b classics only gives you old timers nothing new (shame)

Advantages: lots of differnet artists
Disadvantages: so many you get mixed up

this cd full of your old r and b songs is full of collabirations for me a young teenager this doesnt really satisfy my needs half of the artists are really ancient. not up to scratch with the new stuff, cant even touch the emotion of quality of new artists. but this cd isnt all bad it does have a few pro's like: it has a few decent artists but just not that many and this cd will give you so many hours of sing song fun. it has so many different ...

Review of 100 R&B Classics (Parental Advisory) - Various Artists

Mostly from the 80s, not many hits & almost no disco tracks

Advantages: The 6 number 1 records
Disadvantages: The rest of the tracks are rubbish

Well the title itself is a misnomer for starters as the disco era was a fairly short period during the mid 1970's as disco was ousted from the music scene by Punk and the 80's were ruled by 2 Tone Ska then the New Romantics and synth music at least as far as the UK went any way. Disco may have lived on into the 80's in America but it was replaced by electro, hip hop then rap followed by House music. Wikipedia even openly admits that disco died in ...
...elsewhere during the 1980s", probably in less fashionable countries that hadn't adopted whatever was popular from England or America by then. Take it from someone who lived through all 3 decades, disco was dead and gone by the 1980's. So whats on this album then? 1. High Energy - Evelyn Thomas. This was #1 in a few places in 1984 but can't really be classed as disco even though its origins are rooted there. The track name did spawn a new musical ...

Review of Greatest Disco Hits Of 70's 80's 90's - Various Artists

Essential MJ CD, it is definitley essential to buy no matter what

Advantages: All his songs are amazing so there is no way hating this cd
Disadvantages: Some of my favourites are not in there but those are my minuses maybe not for you though

...not put in his other essential songs like 'one more chance' the song that I enjoy listening to, little disspointing but there is only 2 cd's to fill in. I don't know if I'm ever going to get tired of listening to MJ songs, doubt that i will but this cd will bring enjoyment and memories. It is worth buying this cd for sure as there will be people out there who has all their favourite MJ songs in this cd but not all of my favourites are there! So definitley ...

Review of Essential Michael Jackson, The - Michael Jackson

The remedy to crappy music

Advantages: Original, intelligent, different to most other predictable, cheesy dance music thatis around at the moment.
Disadvantages: One track: Bingo Bango. Let's the side down a bit.

So. I'm white dot bloke am I? What kind of stupid system is this? I'm not impressed with Ciao at the moment, what with crappy pay systems, derogatory community ratings, etc. but I was bored, so I decided to put another opinion on the site. So I looked through my music collection. Because my music collection rules. Apart from my Limp Bizkit CD, but the less I say about that, the better. But sifting through my albums, some of which are scattered across ...
...And remembering how much I liked it last time I listened to it, I put it on. And somehow, after about a year of not listening to it, it sounds even better than it did before. Perhaps this is a result of the sad state the music industry is in today, which has forced me to lower my standards musically. But one thing that is for sure is that this album is a classic. Everyone should own this. And if you don't own it, why not? The Basement Jaxx boys, ...

Review of Remedy - Basement Jaxx

Not too young to buy

Advantages: Some good tracks, and some absolutely stunning ones
Disadvantages: Damn that Australian wind instrument!

...total. Superb stuff. - Emergency On Planet Earth "If anybody's listening - Emergency on planet Earth" Probably my favourite track on the album, the title track returns to the theme of environmental worries. It has quite some pace to it, and is as catchy as you could hope for. The guitar work just rules, lovely strings, and Jay Kay's vocals really make it something. It's very funky, but light and enjoyable with it. I had to stop writing this just ...
...Whatever It Is, I Just Can't Stop "Have to get up to get down, the remedy is in the sound" I have to say, even though it isn't a bad track, this is my least favourite track on the album. It still sounds great, but I'm not keen on the continuous stream of lyrics approach, with the music as just a backing. The theme is once again about musical enjoyment, and while the sound is great, it's not perfect. - Blow Your Mind "Pleasure, passion, tonight's ...
