Simply The Best - Everly Brothers (The)

Advantages: Fabulous production, a real mix of styles
Disadvantages: None!

...throwing in a bit of the unexpected. This album is probably their most accesible to date, there is literally something on here that will appeal to everyone, whatever your taste in music. I really can't pick a favourite track off the album. The album art is big, dominant and in your face. "Push The Button" really does show that The Chemical Brothers are still on top of their game. If you ever have the chance to see the Chemical Brothers Live at a festival make sure you do; they put on one of the best lives shows I have ever seen, it is truely amazing. So, all it really remains for me to say is, go buy this album. You will not be disappointed. Thanks for reading!

You can hear his terrific guitar work in most of the songs on this CD.

I will attempt to give a brief explanation of each track, but of course this is all very subjective. I urge you to listen to the CD yourself, and make up your own mind. 1.

Advantages: Lots of brilliant stuff
Disadvantages: Some not-so-brilliant stuff, "Revolution 9"

...It is very rare for a double album to be an amazing piece of work. In my experience with double albums, I have always been left thinking, "Wow, that would have been a good single album if they had left some of the trash off." But one double album that is widely hailed as one of the best albums of all time (or is it two of the best?) is The Beatles' 1968 self-titled effort, more commonly known as The White Album. Hopefully, everyone knows who the Beatles are. Even if you think you don't know the Beatles, you must have heard at least one of their songs on the radio. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr made up the group that is quite possibly the best rock 'n' roll band ever. The Beatles had 27 number one hits and influenced just about every musician who came after them. Of course, the Beatles were... Read review
