Advantages: Powerful song structure and the voice of an angel. Disadvantages: Eventually, it comes to an end.
It was the song 'Hallelujah' (a cover of a Leonard Cohen song / poem) that originally got me into Jeff Buckley. Since then, I have musically fallen in love with all of Jeff's music.
'Grace' was the only studio album brought out by Jeff himself, who was the only son of cult folk singer / songwriter Tim Buckley. Jeff was determined not to be simply a sum of all of his creative influences (including The Smiths, Led Zeppelin, and Nina Simone), but wanted ... ...is present on 'Grace'. From the moving 'Mojo Pin' to the emotion of 'Lilac Wine', and from the heartfelt sigh at the beginning of 'Hallelujah' to the philosophical questions of 'Eternal Life', the album is perfect.
Ten years and one day after the release of the original 'Grace', the re-mastered 10th anniversary edition was released, with better sound quality than the original, a second disk of various un-released studio songs (including the much ...
Advantages: It's Bowie Disadvantages: Another version to buy!
...to create a private world.
Diamond Dogs brought to close the glam era for Bowie after this album there was nothing more to say that wouldn’t sound like self-parody or just asinine repetition.

Disc 1
The albums tone is set by the minute and seven second long spoken narrative called “Future Legend” which sounds particularly Burroughsian which reads like an off-cut from the Burroughs book “Naked Lunch” with a ... ...now, the year of the Diamond Dogs.
Bowie shouts “This ain’t Rock n’ Roll this is Genocide”.
Diamond Dogs (5.56) the title track plods along in a Stones-like manner and is the albums most unimaginative song, the album has for the first time and only time I can think of where Bowie plays most of the lead guitar.
His garage style of guitar playing is off-set by his soulfully played layered horn section and frantic keyboard ...
Advantages: Interesting and enjoyable snapshot of life and music in London, 1979. Disadvantages: Newcomers might enjoy it 10% less than old fans.
...Vain', which appears on the London Calling album. Train in Vain is an amazing funky, upbeat song, which shows an entirely different side to the band, and yet you can still tell it is a Clash song.
After hearing Train in Vain, I was considering buying the album, but was not entirely convinced I would enjoy a whole Clash album, and even less sure I would fork out £10 or so to find out. It is highly acclaimed, and in all the top 100 albums lists, but ... ...plus videos for 3 songs; London Calling, Train In Vain and Clampdown. The documentary is great, and it developed my interest in the album further, but probably won't withstand subsequent viewings. What is most incredible is the behaviour of the band's producer when recording this album. They had to calm him down to stop him throwing furniture around the studio and punching the walls of the sound booth before they could record a track! This DVD shows ...
...this one off effort but Band On The Run is an everlasting proof that the boy can't help it. Thankfully, Lindy was quite difficult to spot on the album, but we miss her loads - she was a good 'un.
The sleeve notes of the 25th anniversary edition of the album’s release contains some interesting background by Mark Lewisohn: “By 1973 it was clear that Paul McCartney was continuing the fast-track pace of record releases that the Beatles had established ... ...were the first Mersey beat band to gain a London recording contract), was brought in to craft sax solos on ‘Bluebird’ and ‘Mrs Vandebilt’, thus rekindling a friendship that led to Casey’s involvement in all of Wings’ subsequent concerts.... “The most significant work effected at AIR was the recording of ‘Jet’, and the overdubbing of orchestral parts. Paul invited Tony Visconti to write the arrangements, admiring his production work. (He also happened ...
Advantages: Read text thanks Disadvantages: Read text thanks
...This is a greatest hits album from a band who I have up there as one of the master bands of Rock and Roll music. I am sure some of this bands songs have appeared on movies as soundtracks. In addition the main reason I bought this album is because they included the song you better you bet as track number 16 as well as the classic song 'who are you'.
Largely because of these two classic tracks I bought the album as I wanted to listen to other tracks ... ...songs all of which were greatest hits by the Who. I will try to describe and detail as best as I can on a track by track basis.
-------------------------------
Track 1: I can't explain: This perhaps is an interesting song, as it starts off in a punchy and forceful way on the guitar as well as having nice to hear lyrics. The song provided me with a pleasant mood to hear other songs on the list. Overall I find this a really great track that really ...
Excellent performance, tonnes of steam, ventilated ironing board (*)
