Music Of The Year - 1966 - Various Artists

Advantages: Great songs
Disadvantages: None

...religious fanatics had begun burning Beatles records after John Lennon had told London journalist Maureen Cleave in an Evening Standard interview that the Beatles were bigger than Jesus Christ. Their move away from live work allowed them to concentrate on perfecting their studio art and Sgt Pepper was the first example of that approach. Revolver was in many ways then the end of the first successful part of the band's career, a veritable watershed and historically vital even if it wasn't as good artistically as it actually is. I'd strongly, strongly advise you to check out this wonderful piece of rock art - you'll love it... PS In September 2000, Revolver was listed the best album of all time in the book, 'Virgin All Time Top 1,000 Albums,' which compiled more than 200,000 votes cast by record buyers, music enthusiasts and journalists. 1...

Advantages: Very dramatic, emotional music
Disadvantages: Not everyones cup of tea

...After our school did a production of Les Miserables last year, i fell in love with the music, the pieces are all very dramatic and emotional and the storyline is very romantic which for me is perfect, i love the fact that the music is so sensual but it is definitely classical music with a full orchestra and very depressing (set in the time of the French revolution, death is a common theme although good triumphs in the end).

However, saying that, if any music is going to convert you, this is going to be it!... Read review

Advantages: CONTAINS ALL SONGS FROM THE FILM
Disadvantages: WEAK BONUS TRACK

...If you enjoyed the film you'll love the CD. If you haven't seen the film and you're age 5 to 14 you'll probably still love it. It has all the main songs from the film, including both versions of You are the Music in Me by Troy & Gariella and Sharpay. The bonus track is weird but the 10 other songs justified the cost of the CD without worring about the bonus track. Very popular with all the girls at my daughters' primary school but unsure if it is as popular with older children. Despite that i have to admit that it is also very popular with their forty-two year old mother! An ideal Christmas present or stocking filler if they haven't got it already.... Read review
