Michael Parkinson - My Life In Music - Various Artists

Scarface (Music inspired by the movie) - Various Artists

Advantages: A few scarface film samples
Disadvantages: Nearly the whole thing

of drug references and average rhymes 10 Crack Commandments - Notorious BIG. A song taken from BIGs Life After Death, probably the worst song on that and this album. Its just a list relating to drug deals making reference to the line, never get high on your own supply. Poor production that im sure has been used since Mr Scarface - Scarface. Ok i take it back this is the worst one. Originally released in 91 so its dated beats dont mix well with the up to date rap Streets Is Watching - Jay Z. Taken from Jay Z's In My Lifetime album. Good intelligent raps, street warfare and feuds discussed here. Not his best track but not bad Dopeman - NWA.A 1989 release added here and classic beats along with the old rap supergroup. Not really a lot going on but its NWA so you pay attention Criminology - Ghostface Killah & Raekwon. A Rza produced ...

Review of Scarface (Music Inspired By The Movie) [PA] - Various Artists

The Soundtrack to Sam Tyler's Life?

Advantages: Some great, memorable songs from the 1970's
Disadvantages: A lot of rubbish along the way

lead to more speculation than ever after its so-called conclusion back in April 2007. That being said, I was one of the fans that didn't immediately grab my purse and pop on down to my nearest HMV to get a copy of the official soundtrack. Why? Because I just didn't think it was worth it; I'd already seen the track listing, filled with some decent, well known ditties and some forgettable pieces that I think even the own artists would have forgotten making! But in February, after a rather obsessive Life on Mars viewing spree, I did find myself in HMV, reaching for the money in my bag and buying a copy. Thankfully, I didn't find myself paying the original price for this but instead opted for the stores two CD's for £10 offer, which I felt was an acceptable price for the CD in every way possible. TRACKLISTING As I've mentioned ...

Review of Life On Mars - Various Artists

Doesn't live up to expectations

Advantages: Plenty info on the really famous stars, some humour
Disadvantages: His life story pre 1971 is not that interesting

Michael Parkinson, he is one of the most famous talk show hosts in the country & has been a regular on our screens in that capacity since 1971 via the BBC, ABC in Australia & ITV. He has interviewed the most interesting people in the world, film stars, music stars, sportsmen & women & politicians. He?s had the edge over the majority of the other talk show hosts over the years such as Michael Aspel, Russell Harty & Terry Wogan but in recent years has lost his younger audience to Jonathan Ross. His lists of guests over the years is mighty impressive, Parky as he is affectionately known, hardly ever interviewed ?B? class celebrities, he stuck with the biggest names in the business such as; Alan Alda, Muhammad Ali, Woody Allen, Julie Andrews, Fred Astaire, David & Richard Attenborough, Warren Beatty, Tony Bennett, Jack Benny, George ...
