Buy Now	Pink Floyd - The Wall (more) »rank: 15892 starring: Bob Geldof, Christine Hargreaves, James Laurenson, Eleanor David, Kevin McKeon directed by: Alan Parker : :By any rational measure, Alan Parker's cinematic interpretation of Pink Floyd: The Wall is a glorious failure. Glorious because its imagery is hypnotically striking, frequently resonant, and superbly photographed by the gifted cinematographer Peter Biziou. And a failure because the entire exercise is hopelessly dour, loyal to the bleak themes and psychological torment of Roger Waters's great musical opus, and yet utterly devoid of the humor that Waters certainly found in his own material. Any attempt to visualize The Wall would be fraught with artistic danger, and Parker succumbs to his own self-importance, creating a film that's as fascinating as it is flawed. ...

Buy Now	I Want You (more) »rank: 7597 by: Marvin Gaye :Album Description:180 Gram Vinyl Record LP. I Want You is a 1976 album by Marvin Gaye. The album was his first recorded studio material released in three years and marked a change in direction for Gaye, leaving his trademark Motown soul for funky, light-disco soul. Much of Gaye's music encompassed spirituality, sexuality, and vulnerability. With a career spanning over more than a decade, it's no wonder that many of today's artists continue to honor and emulate Gaye. Although no longer a physical presence, his existence as an artist is one that is sure to be a vital part of the millennium and beyond.
Buy Now	The Sound of Philadelphia: Gamble & Huff's Greatest Hits (more) »rank: 6283 by: Various Artists :Album Description:Newly elected to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the American masters Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff of Philadelphia International Records wrote and produced some of the most musically creative and socially significant records of our time. These sixteen American classics celebrate the enduring power and passion of their voice and vision as tastemakers, hitmakers, educators and keepers of the cultural flame. There's a message in the music, and the message is love. Get on board the love train	Buy Now	That's the Way of the World (more) »rank: 23212 by: Wind & Fire Earth : :While not quite in a league with Stevie Wonder's best '70s albums, That's the Way of the World finds Earth, Wind & Fire taking a similar path to good effect. Melding rock, funk, jazz, and African influences, the group also works its positive messages--belief in oneself, understanding of others--into each track. 'Shining Star,' one of the greatest singles ever, leads off the set, but the title track, 'See the Light,' and 'All About Love' keep the good vibes flowing with a minimum of sappiness. This excellent remaster contains a passel of bonus demo versions. --Rickey Wright
Buy Now	The Bee Gees - Their Greatest Hits: The Record (more) »rank: 8249 by: The Bee Gees : :Don't look for a richly illustrated, critical essay-packed hagiography with this 40-track, double-disc overview of the Bee Gees recording career. In typical, telling fashion, the Brothers Gibb have eschewed such exercises in ego inflation and simply let the best of their remarkable body of music speak for itself. Through it all, their familiar voices lock together in the sort of transcendent, seemingly genetic harmony that few singers since the Everly Brothers (early Gibb inspirations) have managed. Beginning with the plaintive 1966 hit 'New York Mining Disaster 1941,' this set traces the Gibbs' journey from successful Beatles-era balladeers to '70s white R&B gods and ...	Buy Now	The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol.1 (more) »rank: 14573 by: Wind & Fire Earth : :Like a lot of second-wave funk bands, Earth, Wind & Fire were adept at balancing slickness and rawness. While their albums were occasionally spotty, the outfit achieved truly miraculous moments like the rocking 'Shining Star' and the gloriously syncopated 'September.' (Come to think of it, the screaming guitar of the former was also nicely set off by its rhythmic flow.) In a have-you-never-been-mellow decade, their positivity seemed mostly realistic. With something like their powerhouse transformation of 'Got to Get You into My Life'--pulling one of the great Beatles covers out of the awful Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie--they could make even ...
Buy Now	The Best of Village People (more) »rank: 5446 by: Village People :Album Description:16 track 1993 collection on the Massive label with four extended remixes added as bonus tracks: '93 remixes of 'In The Navy', 'Can't Stop The Music' & 'Macho Man', plus 'Y.M.C.A.' (Original Version). :OK, 'Macho Man,' after you are 'In the Navy' and you've spent the night at the 'Y.M.C.A' in New York City, you should 'Go West' to 'San Francisco' where they 'Can't Stop the Music' and then, when it gets too foggy, head out for some sun in 'Key West.' All the great Village People classics are in this collection. Whether you fancy yourself the Construction Worker or the Native ...	Buy Now	Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts From The British Empire And Beyond (more) »rank: 13916 by: Various Artists : 's Best of 2001:All those who enjoy music richer in energy and daring than intelligence and maturity should add Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts from the British Empire and Beyond (1964-1969) to their music collection--where it should sit right next to the series' first volume. The lyrics to songs such as 'I Can Hear the Grass Grow' and '14 Hour Technicolour Dream' won't unlock life's mysteries, but the reckless abandon with which these songs were written and played will remind anyone how it feels to be young and angst-ridden. A few of the selections, including 'Pictures of Matchstick Men,' achieved some commercial success upon ...
