Amazon.com

"Many years from now" must have seemed like an understatement to 16-year-old Paul McCartney, wondering if he'd still be needed or fed at the age of 64. As it turned out, all doubt as to the latter had ceased by his 22nd birthday (though few could have predicted he'd end up washing down those meals with the liquid pride of Seattle). As to the former? Now that McCartney, as of the date of this album's release, has reached that mythic age, his greatest work is 40 years behind him, his solo peak over 30 years gone. Does the world need a new Paul McCartney album? The answer is yes, at least as much as it needs anything else that passes for music these days. With Memory Almost Full, Macca is back. No, it's not Ram or Band on the Run. It might not even be Flowers in the Dirt--in 1989, he had a full band, the support of Linda, and Elvis Costello as a collaborator. Here, he's on his own. Literally: on the majority of the tracks, everything but the strings is multi-instrumentalist Paul. But the surprise is that it's one of his freest, loosest affairs in years, sonically reminiscent of the Tug of War/Pipes of Peace era with nods to Abbey Road in the album-closing medley, McCartney's gravelly tones on "Gratitude," and 2007's version of "Her Majesty," the palate-cleansing "Nod Your Head." It's a surprise because of the album's inescapable sense of retrospection ("Ever Present Past," "Vintage Clothes," "That Was Me") and even a bit of weariness. The next-to-last song is "The End of the End," after all, in which McCartney tells us about what he'd like to happen "on the day that I die." (He wants "songs that were sung/to be hung out like blankets/that lovers have played on/and laid on while listening to songs that were sung," and will likely get his wish.) But it never gets overwhelming, for McCartney mostly resists his tendency to get plodding and maudlin. In fact, Memory Almost Full must be the most sanguine album made during the dissolution of a marriage since...well, ever. "What went out is coming back," he sings in "Vintage Clothes," and from the sound of things, that may not be just wishful thinking. What's past is prologue; if we're lucky, what to come may be McCartney's late renaissance. --Benjamin Lukoff

Album Description

The 13 new songs on Memory Almost Full are performed entirely by Paul McCartney (excluding strings) and produced by Grammy Award-winner David Kahne (The Strokes, Sublime, Bruce Springsteen and more).

This beautifully-packaged, deluxe limited edition also comes with a 2nd disc that contains 3 unreleased bonus tracks and audio commentary by Paul McCartney describing the music, 6 foldout color postcard-sized photos, and full lyrics.

5 out of 5 stars Memory almonst full.......2007-07-22

Typical McCartney material. Great to listen to in the car - gets your feet tapping and makes you sing along to it.

5 out of 5 stars 65 and still going strong.......2007-07-22

This is a great album. Buy the deluxe edition; the interview with Paul on the bonus disc alone is well worth the price.

4 out of 5 stars Good music, poorly engineered recording.......2007-07-18

I must admit that I'm somewhat surprised by the number of negative reviews I've seen for this album. I thought Paul came up with some good melodies here. The musicianship is first-rate. Paul's voice is in pretty good shape. Sure, there are times when the lyrics could've been better, but that's typical McCartney. Folks, if you didn't like this album at first, try listening to it a bit more. I think it's a heck of a lot better than most of the pop/rock being produced today. And let's not even talk about rap and hip-hop (yuck). This CD set contains songs that are fun to sing, complete with melodic twists and variations in tempo. You wouldn't think those would be such rare qualities in today's music, but they are.

I agree with the reviewer who was critical of the recording. One of the worst examples is "Only Mama Knows". Most of the song is pushed to the absolute limit of CD volume. There's no actual clipping indicated when the track is viewed on a good audio editing program, but it sounds like there was clipping at some stage of the recording/mixing process. The effect of this is distortion and almost no dynamic range. I suspect a remastered version of this album will be issued years from now, and the volume problem will be fixed. And, yes, I'll probably be foolish enough to buy it.

1 out of 5 stars Time to retire and rest on your laurels.......2007-07-18

To say that I am disappointed in this compilation of McCartney music is an uderstatement. What was Sir Paul smoking when he conceived this idea? He has written these stupid essays and sung them into songs. And the essays are terrible and mindless.

Sir Paul, you are 64 and I will still send you a valentine, if you stop writing trashy music. And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. This one is sad.

It is time to retire and rest on your laurels.

Paul is still on top of his game !

Few bands of the 1960s retained as much a sense of the roots of rock and roll as did Creedence Clearwater Revival. Their music is rife with country, rockabilly, and R&B influences, a combination that produced several hit singles--most of which are present on this collection. These include "I Heard It through the Grapevine," "Lodi," "Up Around the B ," "Who'll Stop the Rain," and of course "Bad Moon Rising." This is an excellent greatest-hits collection, and a perfect introduction to the music of a band that has been enduringly influential. --Genevieve Williams

As Im in my sixties you might think Im to old, but this is my sort of music.I reckon " john fogerty " is a great singer. Just listen to find out. Hope you like it the same as I do.

4 out of 5 stars CCR.......2007-06-28

An excellent greatist hits CD, I used a handful of songs to burn a CD with other related style of music.

5 out of 5 stars great stuff.......2007-06-27

listening to this CD makes you realize how great john fogerty was back in the day. great songs, great sound.

5 out of 5 stars Gets me going in the morning.......2007-06-27

I've been listening to this CD for 2 weeks in my car on the way to work.

5 out of 5 stars Soundtrack of an era.......2007-06-15

This is an excellent compilation of CCR's tunes from the late 60s, early 70s. There's a reason why Credence tunes kept popping up in movies and commercials. It's great music and evocative of the era from which it comes. No need for me to review the individual tunes; anybody with a radio has head most of them. A must-have for any music fan.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT ITEM.......2007-06-27

I ORDERED THIS ITEM FOR MY SON WHO LOVES DISNEY MUSIC. IT CAME IN GREAT CONDITION AND QUICKLY. LISTENING TO THE CD,S BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OF MY YOUNGER DAYS.

3 out of 5 stars Slow shipping & Minor Damage.......2007-05-14

My kids (2 & 3 yrs.) like the music that they have heard before. There are many songs included that are less popular. If your kids are like mine, you will be hitting the "next" button frequently. I ended up burning a cd of the songs that they liked. This worked out well.

The Shipping was fairly slow. It took about two weeks (10 business days) to arrive through standard mail. This probably wouldn't have been so bad, but most of the other orders that I have placed through Amazon have arrived in 5 business days or less.

The product itself seemed to be damaged during manufacture. All of the CDs were lose in the cases. It appears that they didn't seat properly, and during the seating process the tines in the center of the case that hold the CDs in place were broken. None of the discs were damaged or scratched.

5 out of 5 stars Grrrrrreat!.......2007-05-03

This is the best product for every Disney junkie, i LOVE it! It has just about every classic song ever made. I love it, and the price is VERY reasonable for 125 songs... it's a MUCH better deal than buying the other disney classic cd's individualy...so BUY IT!! like tigger says: ITS "GRRRRREEEAAAT!!!"

5 out of 5 stars This CD is Awesome.......2007-04-12

It has all the good disney songs sung like in the movies with the original singers. My daughter loves it.

5 out of 5 stars Love It!.......2007-03-10

I am a HUGE Disney fan and this is definitely an essential set for anyone who loves Disney or Disney movies. I play these CDs whenever I'm stressed out and I can't help but smile and sing along. Great for adults and kids :) It will definitely bring back great childhood memories!

After Warren Zevon's death in 2003, his son Jordan was clearing out a storage space when he found a large stash of demos and home recordings Zevon had made before 1976. Winnowed down from many hours of tape, this selection is so satisfying you're left awaiting another volume almost instantly. Preludes has been generously packaged with a booklet overflowing with reminiscences and insight from peers and family, as well as a bonus disc with recent interview extracts and choice selections from 2000's Life'll Kill Ya. The rough sound quality is more than made up for by the performances. Highlights include a speedier, country-punk garage take on "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me" and the original demo of "Werewolves of London," here presented in a slowed-down reggae-ish (and campier) take. Only two of these 16 takes fall flat: the vocals on "Accidentally Like a Martyr" are just too bleak even for Zevon, while the faux-sunshine Eagles-y production on "Ride So High" is interesting but just too anachronistic. The versions of "French Inhaler" and "Carmelita" show Zevon in his angry, post-Dylan singer-songwriter style. It's reminiscent of the best John Cale solo recordings. Poignant, beautiful and bitter, it's no wonder the guy didn't fit in with his California contemporaries. As with Townes Van Zandt, there's something of a great short story in Zevon's songs; confronted with them in all their ragged, stripped-down glory, it's clear what a major talent he was. --Mike McGonigal

Genius: The Best of Warren Zevon

Album Description

Warren Zevon passed way from mesothelioma, a form of asbestos related lung cancer in 2003. A few months later, his son, Jordan, drove out to one of his dad's storage spaces in the San Fernando Valley to begin the sorting the process. He discovered over a 100 unreleased outtakes and demos in a piano-sized touring case.

Preludes features 16 of the best of these discovered recordings, including 6 unreleased tracks "Empty Hearted Town," "Going All The Way," "Steady Rain," "Stop Rainin Lord" "Studebaker" and "Rosarita Beach Café." All songs were recorded pre-1976. Other gems are previously unheard versions of "Werewolves of London" and "Accidentally Like A Martyr". The 2nd disc features an in-depth radio interview Warren did with Jody Denberg in 2000.

4 out of 5 stars Vintage Zevon.......2007-07-20

This is a collection of old tapes and interviews. It is not what I would suggest for someone checking him out for the first time. For the Warren "virgin"(not many around him by the sound of it) I would suggest "Warren Zevon" and "Exciteable Boy".

But for a long term diehard customer like me, then what you do is play Preludes, and read "Sleep When I'm Dead". Then it all makes sense.... or not.

Much of it is demo quality, but good listening. And gives an insight into the man, and how he built his songs.

Ownership is compulsory

4 out of 5 stars peaking through a crack in a closed door.......2007-07-15

The release of this CD is akin to peaking through a crack in a closed door. We are given another opportunity to hear Mr Zevon "reinterpret" songs that were indelibly imprinted into our memories. And though this is not a live album, listening to these songs i feel as if i have stumbled across some of Warren's most memorable and private performances.

A must listen for Zevon diehards.

5 out of 5 stars Perfection.......2007-07-06

I love the unreleased version of Werewolves of London even more than the familiar one. And the interview was somewhat eye-opening as to the personality of Zevon. Essential for any true fan of his work.

5 out of 5 stars Preludes.......2007-07-05

Preludes is excellent - more true genius from Zevon. Three songs, especially, stick in my mind - Heavy Rain, Empty Hearted Town and Rosarita Beach Cafe. How wonderful to be able to hear new Zevon even after he has left us.

5 out of 5 stars zevon.......2007-06-27

best for a big fan, demos of later hits a treat, as are zevon comments and unique versions of several songs

Amazon.com

Good-natured rock & roll wise guy Joe Walsh not only made a name for himself as guitarist for The Eagles and The James Gang, but he also had a successful solo career. Known for his self-deprecating sense of humor ("Life's Been Good") and his dirty guitar boogie (the pulsating "Rocky Mountain Way"), Walsh drew a fan base from those who were fond of the harder edge he gave to The Eagles. He was easily one of the better guitarists of his generation, not so much for flashy licks but for his rhythmic sensibilities and awareness of restraint and economy. Yet Walsh continued to view himself as an "Ordinary Average Guy." His keen self-awareness and his understanding of the importance of rock in the overall scheme of things was further evidenced in "A Life of Illusion." Even the title of this collection, Greatest Hits: Little Did He Know shows Walsh, for all of his talent, never lost sight of the fact that it's only rock & roll. The album also contains the memorable "Funk#49," "Bolero," and "Midnight Man." --Steve Gdula

5 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC!!!.......2007-05-30

If you are a Joe Walsh fan you can't go wrong with this CD. It has the best of his awesome songs!!! GET IT!!!

5 out of 5 stars Joe F'n Walsh.......2007-03-31

I give this album a five star just because Joe Walsh rocks. In '05 I saw the Eagles live at Gwinnett Arena in Atlanta. I was so close to the stage that I could tell you how many stomp boxes Joe had and which ones were turned on. He was incredible live. This is a great collection of his solo stuff. If it doesnt have what you want, then just like the Eagles, go buy all of the albums individually. I think one of the gems on the album is "Help me through the night" where it shows a softer side of Walsh with Glen Frey, Don Henley and Randy Meisner of the Eagles on 3 point back up vocal harmonies. Always killer, Always Walsh!

5 out of 5 stars My Opinion.......2007-01-07

Joe Walsh is great, and this CD holds many of his greatest songs. My favorite song of his is "Life's Been Good", which is on this CD. Many of my other favorites are on it, too. It's a great addition to any collection.

5 out of 5 stars Very Definitive Joe.......2006-08-25

This is a great album with all of the stuff that you want to hear on a greatest hits album with Joe Walsh. If you already own the first two albums, you will still be satisfied with this.

5 out of 5 stars what a great CD!.......2006-08-04

This is a really great CD for the Joe Walsh fan. It has all the great guitar playing he is known for and great lyrics to go along with it. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who likes great music.

This is an excellent collection of one of the most popular and influential rock bands of all time, though it omits "We Are the Champions" and "Fat Bottomed Girls" (these, however, can be found on the Greatest Hits album, which together with Classic Queen gets you a comprehensive selection of their work). There's some great stuff here, including rockers like "Hammer to Fall," "Stone Cold Crazy," "I Want It All," "Headlong," and the hilarious "Tie Your Mother Down." There's also a good sampling of ballads, performed with an energy and sincerity that sets them apart: "Who Wants to Live Forever" is sorrowfully beautiful, and "The Show Must Go On" is only echoed by songs like Queensryche's "Is There Anybody Listening." Rounding things off is a fine selection of the unclassifiable, such as "Under Pressure," "I'm Going Slightly Mad," and "Radio Ga Ga." --Genevieve Williams

5 out of 5 stars The pop Queen.......2007-07-18

What a weird mainstream band! The greatest gay vocalist in the history of show business totally rocking a totally straight audience of millions!

I remember when Queen first hit the big time. Freddy Mercury, asked by the rock press to cite his singing influences, named Liza Minnelli (who ended up singing "We Are The Champions," Queen's machoest anthem, at the famous Wembley Stadium gig). And the band's name! It took all the hard rock jocks a few years to get the "joke" (which was on them); decades later, a TV advertisement for Viagra featured an army of ecstatic suburban dads, presumably straight, grooving through their neighborhoods to the sounds of "We Are The Champions." Mercury, even after life, was such a CARD! (Ah! If only George Michael joined the band for good!)

Unlike their uniformly humorousless arena rock contemporaries, Queen had an oblique vision - an emotional detachment which played well as they progressively cartoonized their mega-amped power chops. Bombast, drama - finally, humanism, too. This quality is featured prominently on this particular compilation, with a strong cross-section of their later, pop-oriented, material. More synthesizers, cleaner guitar solos and plenty of utopian utterances. The only painfully overexposed track is "Bohemian Rhapsody" (only finally unseated from its mighty UK chart reign by Abba's oddly similar "Mama Mia") but the Pet Shop Boys' charm of "I'm Going Slightly Mad" more than compensates.

CLassic Queen is not the "essential" Queen, you have to buy several CDs to get the big picture, but this is a superb sampler of the quieter, smarter, dare I say "gayer" Queen that hasn't been pounded killed by US radio.

3 out of 5 stars Interested in early Queen?.......2007-07-18

FYI - if it's early Queen you're interested in - you know, stuff before that lemon of an album "Bicycle Races" - I urge you to buy the original albums (starting with "Day at the Races"). Anthology/compilations omit far too much worthwhile material.

5 out of 5 stars ALONG WITH VOLUME II, THIS IS THE GREATEST QUEEN COMPILATION ALBUM EVER. PART 1 OF 2. .......2007-05-09

Before I begin my review, I would like to invite all of you to read the Blog that Kevin Johns and I have set up for your Rock n' Roll reading pleasure which hopefully suits your musical needs and tastes. It is called "FOREVER IN ROCK, THE JOHN LOPEZ REVIEWS WRAP UP." I deeply hope that all of you will read it, it is after all, for all of you. Hope to hear from you soon. Take care. Forever in Rock, John L.

I will be writing a review on the legendary compilation album entitled "CLASSIC QUEEN - VOLUME I" by one of Rock's all-time greatest legendary bands ever. I give you one on England's pride and joy's and one of Britain's favorite sons, Q-U-E-E-N! "CLASSIC QUEEN - VOLUME I" was originally released in 1992 on Compact Disc on the Hollywood Records label which is distributed by Elektra Entertainment, a division of Warner Communications Inc. This review is Part 1 of 2. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary compilation album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the overall best informative and most accurate review possible.

QUEEN will forever go down in Rock n' Roll history and be remembered for writing and recording some of Rock's most sacred classic Rock anthems ever. QUEEN would also be well known the world over for having and containing perhaps, one of Rock's most flamboyant and charismatic lead singers and frontmen ever. Thats right, I'm talking about the late great Farrokh Bulsara A.K.A. Freddie Mercury. When Mercury met up and joined forces with lead and rhythm guitarist Brian May, bassist John Deacon and drummer Roger Taylor, the stage would forever be set and QUEEN would be born to thrill and Rock. From that point on, it was full speed ahead, and with it, a long string of great albums and hit songs that would follow. QUEEN would soon gain a reputation through the years for being a great band that put on a great live show thanks to the legendary frontman Freddie Mercury. Brian May would also make the best guitarist polls in all of the Rock magazines. "CLASSIC QUEEN - VOLUME I" would be the result of the many hit songs that QUEEN would write and record throught the years. Along with Volume II, "CLASSIC QUEEN - VOLUME I" serves as one of the many contributions, accomplishments and achievements in QUEEN'S whole entire career. Which brings me to the legendary compilation album I'm about to review for you today. In my opinion, "CLASSIC QUEEN - VOLUME I" is without a doubt, a true testament of the sheer genius and musical creativity of four extremely talented individuals. "CLASSIC QUEEN - VOLUME I" is also a fine fitting tribute to a great band that was truly indeed, far ahead of their time.

It is now time to let the Rock n' Roll music of QUEEN to speak for itself and back it up by doing all of the talking musically. "CLASSIC QUEEN - VOLUME I" from 1992 begins with the beautiful uplifting hard Rock anthem "A Kind Of Magic," one of the most powerful and saddest hard Rock Opera's ever written, "Bohemian Rhapsody," the ultimate duet with David Bowie, the Rocker of all Rockers, "Under Pressure," the forever blistering hard a*s Rocker "Hammer To Fall," the speedy and energetic hard Rocker "Stone Cold Crazy," the beautifully slow synthesized song "One Year Of Love," the synthesized Rocker with a message, "Radio Ga Ga," the groundbreaking and daring Rocker that we can all relate to, "I'm Going Slightly Mad," the slow killer hard Rocker "I Want It All," one of the many ultimate hard Rock anthems, "Tie Your Mother Down," the beautiful Rock Opera "The Miracle," the forever beautifully slow smooth Rock anthem "These Are The Days Of Our Lives," the forever blistering hard Rock anthem "One Vision," the breathtaking hard Rock Opera "Keep Yourself Alive," the amazing hard Rocker "Headlong," the beautifully slow synthesized and orchestrated anthem "Who Wants To Live Forever" and the beautifully slow synthesized anthem with a message, "The Show Must Go On." May I also add that the late great Freddie Mercury's blistering lead vocals were sizzlin' red hot and burning on fire while laying down the tracks for all of these legendary hit songs. I would also like to commend Brian May for his merciless guitar riffs and licks during the recordings of these legendary hit songs. QUEEN'S rhythm section comprising of bassist John Deacon and drummer Roger Taylor were right on it and hitting their marks perfectly. Freddie's lead vocals and extremely high vocal ranges would take QUEEN'S breathtaking music to another level unimagined. WELL DONE!

Overall, this is one hell of a compilation album worth checking out and seeking further research and information into especially if you are a hardcore diehard QUEEN fan or a devout music collector. As for all of the curious newcomers and new beginners that are not quite familiar with the sound and music of QUEEN, this volume I album along with volume II is not a bad place to start. I highly suggest purchasing both volumes of these legendary greatest hits compilation albums. You can do all of your researching and album purchases either on Amazon com or at your nearest local Borders Books and Music store. Doing this, you will have taken a giant step in owning and starting your very own personal QUEEN music collection. If you ever get a chance, buy both volumes of these albums, you'll be happy and satisfied that you did.

I would like to highly recommend purchasing this legendary volume I compilation album along with volume II to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. Without a doubt, this legendary treasure album has already proven to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER. This legendary album is one great priceless gem that no hardcore music fan or devout music collector would want to be without.

In closing, QUEEN would be riding high upon the release of all of these legendary hit songs along with volume II. You would almost think that everything was well in QUEEN'S world. In 1991, the Rock n' Roll world as well as the whole world, would be shocked and shook to its very foundations upon hearing the sad news that Freddie Mercury was dying of the AIDS virus. Very shortly after, on 24 November 1991, almost three months after his 45th Birthday, Farrokh Bulsara, known the world over as Freddie Mercury, would die from AIDS. What a sad tragedy. Freddie Mercury would be the first Rock n' Roller to not only die from the AIDS virus, but to bring the attention and awareness to the AIDS virus to the whole world in general just like legendary actor Rock Hudson did in the mid 1980's. But how could Freddie Mercury die when QUEEN was still riding high bigger than ever and in their prime? In the short years that Freddie mercury lived and QUEEN being together, QUEEN gave us a lifetime's worth of great Rock n' Roll music. Knowing this, QUEEN would shortly meet their date with destiny by receiving the highest ultimate honor possible, by being inducted as members into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. With this in mind, QUEEN has forever left their place and mark in Rock n' Roll history and will never be forgotten. But please keep in mind that the QUEEN legend and legacy does not end here. If anything, IT IS ONLY JUST THE BEGINNING. Although Freddie Mercury is irreplaceable, QUEEN has successfully had brief reunions with George Michael and the most recent with Paul Rodgers to highly critically acclaim. I truly believe that Michael and Rodgers would be the first to tell you that Freddie Mercury is irreplaceable. I don't think that ready Freddie would have wanted it any other way. There would also be new tales and stories in the QUEEN and Freddie Mercury legend that would still need to be told and written. But that, my fellow readers and reviewers, you will just have to stay tuned and glued to your computer and read further more about it at a later date in the near future. So here's to you late great Freddie, Brian, John, Roger, and yes, George and Paul. Thanks for the many great memories. Keep The Faith. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," need I say more or am I wrong? FREDDIE MERCURY LIVES! Thanks for reading my review and I truly hope that you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have truly enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also deeply hope that all of you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. QUEEN FOREVER! R.I.P. FARROKH BULSARA A.K.A. FREDDIE MERCURY, Born 5 September 1946, Died 24 November 1991 at age 45. Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever in Rock, John L.

5 out of 5 stars Rock Royalty's "Other" Greatest Hits Album.......2007-03-03

For those of you like me who bought Queen's "Greatest Hits" album and couldn't believe that songs like "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Hammer To Fall" didn't make the cut, sigh with relief as you peruse the track list for "Classic Queen." It features all of the songs that should have been on "Greatest Hits" and the two albums can now be purchased together for about the same price as purchasing them separately would cost. Either way, you're definitely going to need to get your hands on both of them if you want a solid collection of Queen's best songs.

Queen was hard to categorize. Granted, most people instantly stick them in the classic rock boat, which isn't a bad thing, but they reach much farther than that. This album features heavy rockers such as "Hammer To Fall" and "Stone Cold Crazy," but it also highlights pop-rockers such as "It's A Kind Of Magic" and the David Bowie compilation, "Under Pressure." Other highlights include "Radio Ga Ga," "Who Wants To Live Forever," and "Tie Your Mother Down." My personal favorites include "Hammer To Fall" and "I Want It All."

Overall, this is a wonderful album to have. Coupled with "Greatest Hits," it makes for a solid catalogue of Queen's best music. Queen was one of a kind and deserves all of the accolades it has received over the years. I highly recommend you get this album and "Greatest Hits" together.

5 out of 5 stars A Testament to rock at it's best.......2006-11-26

This an excellent compilation featuring the whole range of talents of the greatest rock band in history.
A range from rockers to ballads , and an excellent introduction to the band.
The album has a good flow and a good sample of Queen's brilliance.

It's A Kind of Magic is a great rock-pop song , a real feel-good hit.
The classic rock-opera masterpiece Bohemian Rhapsody which was voted the greatest song of all time in the United Kingdom needs no introduction but no Queen compilation album is complete without it.
And then of course, Queen's fantastic collaboration with David Bowie: Under Pressure - A great all-time classic.
Hammer To Fall is a pop hit in the typical style of Queen's 80's music.
The fast paced rocker Stone Cold Crazy is a fantastic hard rocker and a good example of 70's Queen rock.
I'm Going Slightly Mad is a zany and amusing hit from Queen's later work.
I Want It All is another of Queen's later works and has quite a powerful and lively quality.
Tie Your Mother Down is grand 70's hard rocker and quite humorous
These Are The Days Of Our Lives is a good contemplative and light pop hit
One Vision is an anthemic and synthesized hit from 1986 and one of queen's better 80's works
Keep Yourself Alive is from Queen's first album and one of my very favourite Queen songs for certs.A perfect example of rock at it's best.
Who Wants To Live Forever is a sad ballad of longing and immortality from the album A Kind of Magic amd The Show Must Go On is one of Queen's last hits and a testament to the band.

5 out of 5 stars Back In Time.......2007-05-16

Close your eyes and you're listening to records again in High School. Just as good as I had remembered. How sad that he died so young, so talented.

5 out of 5 stars Great Album.......2007-03-23

Best compilation of his work that I could find. Excellent price as well.

5 out of 5 stars "It's what we've done/That makes us what we are.".......2007-03-12

Jim Croce was at the peak of his talents when a tragic plane crash ended his life in 1973. The majestic "I Got A Name" had yet to be released, but when it did, it defined Jim Croce's short but brilliant stardom.

"Like a fool I am and I'll always be,
I've got a dream, I've got a dream.
The can change their minds, but they can't change me,
I've got a dream, I've got a dream.
I know I can share it if you want me to,
if you're going my way, I'll go with you."

That "I Got A Dream" was not written by Croce hardly matters...it defined a free spirit that looked for others to join him on his quest. Afterwards, "Time In A Bottle" was plucked for re-issue of from his first album as a memoriam to Croce, and has become a signature song of not just the artist, but the decade he came from.

That debut album, "You Don't Mess Around With Jim," and its title song introduced to Jim Croce by way of his first hit character song. Like so many of his other story songs, Croce managed to perfectly encapsulate blue collar folksongs with a dash of humor. Songs like "Rapid Roy," "Working at The Car Wash Blues" and yet another signature song, "Bad Bad Leroy Brown," were snappy and sing-a-long exact.

There was also that everyman who had just a hint of sadness around the edges. On "Operator," Croce debates the whys and hows of a relationship that has crumbled. He also wasn't always a romantic idealist, as "Lover's Cross" sends an ex-lover off with "I guess you wanted a super guy, or maybe a super God." (The realist is counter-balanced perfectly by the shy encounter in "I'll Have to Say I Love You In A Song.")

Croce's untimely death will always leave a question mark on where his muse would have ultimately led him. He seemed on a course that would have him paralleling the likes of James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot or Cat Stevens as vanguards of seventies male singer-songwriters. With three albums that have maintained their integrity over 30 years of time's passage, this single disc "Classic Hits" culls together a life's work that will long remind us that Jim Croce became a folk icon not just because of his early departure, but because of the brilliance and accessibility of his work.

5 out of 5 stars Leroy may have been bad but............2007-01-12

Jim Croce was a giant of music who tragically seems to have fallen beneath the cracks. Great CD and one loves YOU DON'T MESS AROUND WITH JIM and BAD BAD LEROY BROWN. We need more music like this and less rap to document that true urban experience.

5 out of 5 stars memories of the 50's.......2007-07-13

These were my "teen years" and I did not realize what good voices most of the singers had and how beautiful some of the songs were. These cds transport me back to "the good old days". I am surprised that I remember most of the songs. I really, really enjoy this music.

5 out of 5 stars Another wonderful Susie Tallman CD!.......2007-06-26

I purchased this CD after absolutely loving her Children's Songs CD. Her music is so much fun to sing, sway, and dance to. I own 4 of her CD's and enjoy them all for different reasons. They are arranged and performed beautifully. It was a delightful surprise to find music for our baby that my husband and I love too! Susie's music totally relaxes our son when he is upset. It is impossible to be in a bad mood when you turn it on! It will always be included in baby shower gifts from now on.

3 out of 5 stars Not as good as her other CDs.......2007-05-13

We love Susie Tallman's "Children's Songs, A Collection of Childhood Favorites" CD, so we ordered this one. It's not as good. The second half of the CD is basically people reading some nursery rhymes, not too original.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best children's cds ever!.......2007-05-11

I checked this cd out from the library to play at my pre-school music class that I teach each week. I loved it from the first song because of all the different instruments used for background music, and then when I got to the rap song "Hickory Dickory Dock" I was laughing out loud. My kids in my class just loved it. I just bought the cd so I can play it for my own children and my grandkids.

5 out of 5 stars LOVE LOVE this CD.......2007-01-05

Susie Tallman does a great job with this CD, my husband and I find ourselfves singing these songs way after the CD has been off.

5 out of 5 stars For my 7 month old while his mom (me) is away playing army in iraq........2006-08-31

review written by dad: He likes both of them (Children's Songs, A Collection of Childhood Favorites). We dance and sing to them. They are not really falling asleep cd's. I use them after naps and they play a role in our loosely structured playtime.

Substitute grits for glitz, soul for sheen, and wry humor for mythic self-regard, and the Amazing Rhythm Aces could have been the Eagles. Though they didn't fly as high commercially, the Aces' blend of rock, country, down-home rhythm & blues, and even gospel continues to satisfy on this combo reissue of the band's first two mid-'70s albums. "Third Rate Romance" remains the Memphis band's signature song and major pop hit, while "The End Is Not in Sight (The Cowboy Tune)" anticipated the changes in commercial country a couple of decades down the road. Rhythm aside, the key to the band's appeal is frontman Russell Smith, whose songs and singing transcend musical boundaries with amazing grace. --Don McLeese

More than a 1 Cut Wonder, some surprising stuff here and worth the price.

5 out of 5 stars Stacked Deck/Too Stuffed to Jump.......2007-02-06

Too Stuffed maybe this group's best effort. And what an album it is!

5 out of 5 stars BUY THIS ALBUM!!!!.......2007-01-30

Forget buying Hotel California. Set afire your copy of On The Border. Send Marshall Tucker to the back of the play list. THIS is country rock at it's finest.

5 out of 5 stars Better than I remember!.......2007-01-09

This cd is timeless! Each song is just as good today as it was when first recorded. I plan to order the rest of their music right away!
