Falling into You(more) »rank: 5351by: Celine Dion
:Album Description:Dion's breakthru classic album includes 2 tracks not found on the US version: 'You Make Me Feel (Like A Natural Woman)' and 'Your Light'. essential recording:Canadian thrush Celine Dion is primarily a singles artist, which is a good thing, because the soaring, epic style she brings to nearly all of her material is thrilling in four-minute bursts, but nearly overwhelming at album length. Falling into You is Dion's finest attempt to temper that approach--mixing low-key love songs and dance pop between showstoppers such as 'It's All Coming Back to Me Now' and the Up Close and Personal movie theme, 'Because You ... |

Evita (1978 Original Broadway Cast)(more) »rank: 3274by: Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, Patti LuPone, Mandy Patinkin
: essential recording:Evita was Andrew Lloyd Webber's last show with Tim Rice before he went on to projects with less interesting collaborators, so it's no surprise that it remains his most consistently involving and rewarding work. Loosely based on the life of Eva Peron, the charismatic wife of post-World War II Argentine president Juan Peron, Rice's compelling story of one woman's rise from poverty to power is complemented by Lloyd Webber's colorful music as propelled by vigorous Latin rhythms. The showstopper, of course, is 'Don't Cry for Me, Argentina,' but the score is full of gems, including 'On This Night of a Thousand ... |

Hair: Original Soundtrack Recording - Special Anniversary Edition(more) »rank: 5801by: Galt MacDermot, Gerome Ragni, James Rado
: :Rereleased two decades after the motion picture debuted, the soundtrack to the movie version of America's first 'tribal love-rock musical,' Hair, holds up amazingly well. Performances by Treat Williams ('I Got Life'), Beverly D'Angelo ('Good Morning Starshine'), and Nell Carter ('Abie Baby' and 'White Boys') are as uproarious as ever, while Cheryl Barnes's 'Easy to Be Hard' remains a paralyzing gospel number. The timing could not have been better, as many trends in late-'90s music retread the musical's funk bass and evangelical vocal arrangements. But beyond a lucky coincidence, the rerelease of the music comes at a time when the spoiled offspring of ... |

Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely(more) »rank: 7311by: Frank Sinatra
: essential recording:Look past the tacky, sad-clown velvet painting on the cover (a Grammy-winner for album design in 1959!), there's nothing cheap or sentimental about this record--the bleakest and blackest album of popular songs ever recorded, so quietly powerful it can leave you slumped in your chair with the ice cubes still rattling in your glass. Every single 'suicide song' (as Sinatra liked to call 'em) on Only the Lonely is a stunner that will take your breath away. Nelson Riddle's arrangements are like shadows, almost colorless and motionless, so that all you hear is the ache in the singer's voice. 'Angel Eyes' ... |

Arrival(more) »rank: 11486by: ABBA
:Album Details:24-bit digital remaster with new liner notes, complete lyrics and two bonus tracks: 'Fernando' (US Remix 1974) and 'Happy Hawaii' (Swedish Version). essential recording:At the height of their success, ABBA were second only to Volvo as Sweden's biggest export earners. Arrival (1977) sees the quartet just finding their stride, after a year of relative obscurity which followed the success of 'Waterloo,' their 1973 Eurovision Song Contest winner. Like their '70s peers ELO, ABBA knew the value of tunes, tunes, tunes. Arrival's hits include the glistening, full-on sheen of 'Knowing Me, Knowing You,' the irrepressible, piano-led disco stomp of 'Dancing Queen,' and ... |
