Sesame Street (Kids' Favorite Songs) - Various Artists

Advantages: Wide range of great songs, Lots of great artist and some newcomers
Disadvantages: None

...This is a brilliant collaboration of various artists. The soundtrack really do represent the street. There are some song that really do stand out; (Flo Rida ft T-Pain - Low) This is another one of T-Pain best songs. It has good beats and Flo Rida adds his own style to the song which makes it very enjoyable. This song can be bought as a single for those who just prefer this song. (Cherish ft Young Joc) This is a great song from a female group. The song has a great opening done by Young Joc then the girls take over and make this song shine. (T-Pain - Church) Again T-Pain does a fabulous job with this song. Taking a different route with hip-hop this a a very energetic and fast paced song something T-Pain has never done before. This song can be bought as a single or can be found on T-Pains album Epiphany. (Enrique Iglesias... Read review

This album is a twist to the original recording of West Side Story... Read review

Advantages: Enjoyable listening
Disadvantages: Will not appeal to everybody

...It's supposed to be the season of goodwill to all men. The rush to the shops for presents (assaults and battery's included). It's that season of the year again when the television has Christmas adverts on. The P C brigade is in the news papers again seemingly trying to put anything that reminds us of Christianity into the dustbin of history in case it offends somebody, (They have. Me). I spend quite a lot of time listening to Classic F M radio and they are now playing a lot of carols by various artists. I suppose that you could say I am a terrible old reactionary when it comes to music. On the whole I prefer classical to modern, instrumental to vocal. For preference I like music played on period or original instruments. That does not mean that I do not like modern orchestrations. There are some that I do and there is even some "pop... Read review
