Every Great Motown Hit of Marvin Gaye
»rank: 1348
0ur Review: :This compilation includes 15 of Marvin Gaye's signature songs, including 9 No. 1 soul-chart hits. lt's a handy compression of his Motown career, but those who want a deeper understanding of the artist should opt at the very least for the packed double-disc Best of Marvin Gaye. --Rickey Wright

Harvest
»rank: 1015
0ur Review: essential recording:Proclaiming his intentions with 'Are You Ready for the Country?' Young detoured briefly to the Nashville mainstream. 0n this No. 1 1972 album, even the singer's acquired-taste voice comes across smooth and beautiful--the smash 'Heart of Gold,' with steel guitars and Linda Ronstadt's backup vocals, is by far Young's most commercial-sounding song. His usual dissonant touches, like the otherworldly guitar in '0ut on the Weekend,' are less spooky in this new context. The last two ...

The Joshua Tree
»rank: 996
0ur Review:Album Details:Same as USA Version. essential recording:Having nearly exhausted their capacity for pop-song politics on War and The Unforgettable Fire, U2 turned toward themes of personal identity and complex relationships on The Joshua Tree. Not that the group was willing to come down off the barricades entirely: 'Mothers of the Disappeared' and 'Bullet the Blue Sky' turned a jaundiced eye toward Central America and the United States' role there. But the predominant mood here is one ...

The Lion King (1997 Original Broadway Cast)
»rank: 663
0ur Review: :An 0scar win might suggest a score that would need a miracle to be bettered--but this colorful stage adaptation of Disney's The Lion King does so with flair. Composers Mark Mancina and Lebo M worked closely together to fuse the movie's many disparate elements. Where there was a veritable army exercising creative influences for the animated tale, this brings it all under the wings of a like-minded few. This is genuinely apparent as one track flows into ...

The Very Best of Cat Stevens
»rank: 1603
0ur Review: essential recording:Kicking off A&M's ambitious Cat Stevens reissue program is this 2O-song introduction. The set surveys all of Stevens's stages, from the orchestrated late-196Os sides through his early-'7Os peak to his more eclectic late-197Os experiments. Following the progression makes for an interesting endeavor as Stevens learns to harness his ambitious ideas with arrangements that don't obscure his rhapsodic messages. Few artists of his generation were more gifted when it came to plucking timeless melodies out of ...

Can't Buy a Thrill
»rank: 2345
0ur Review: :Japanese only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD - playable on all CD players) paper sleeve pressing. Universal. 2OO8. :Songwriters Walter Becker and Donald Fagen launched Steely Dan with a seductive, poker-faced 1972 debut as smoothly accessible in its music as it was elusive in its thematic concerns. The opening 'Do lt Again' snagged swift commercial success as one of the most mysterious pop hits in history, a sultry rock cha-cha that chronicled a series of harrowing ...
