Alternative Rock Compilations music reviews

Several years ago, a clever Executive at Warner Music Canada realized that there is a large and distinct market for CDs by Female Vocalists and Songwriters and the Best Selling "Women and Songs" Series of Compilations were born. Past Compilations have featured an ecclectic mix of Popstars, Rock stars, Folk Stars, even Celtic Music Performers. And there has been a good mix of well know stars like Madonna, Cher, Sarah Mclachlin, and Dido with lesser know up-and-comers so fans could discover new music and performers while enjoying their favorite songs & singers. This latest compilation is no exception. It features songs by Sheryl Crowe, Nelly Furtado, Sarah McLachlin, Melissa Etheridge, and Madonna as well as the lesser known Amanda Stott and Shaye. Pity the producers hadn't included "You Move Me" by Pop/Rock Singer Amber from her fantastic new "My Kind of World" CD. That song would fit this eclectic lineup perfectly. Actually, producers could have had their pick of tracks from "My Kind of World". The CD is packed with enough Singles to keep it in the charts for the next 2 years: from the Alt Rock infused "You Move Me" to the forthcoming Single "Voodoo", the Pat Benatar-esque "Just Like That" to the Whitney Houston Meets Pat Benatar Power Ballad "Sacrificial Lamb". Not to mention "City of Pain" and "Private War". My advice? Get BOTH "Women & Song 8" and Amber - "My Kind of World".

Yes martee is posing as me so his corrupt gangbang church can rob the sheep more money!Christians are getting more corrupt everyday!

HEHEHEHEHE LMAO @ VICE THE SISSY PRETENDING TO BE ME HAHAHAHAHA LMAO

YES I LOVE THIS CD SERIES. INSPIRATIONAL AND TRUE. nOT LIES LIKE I GIVE OUT WITH MY 100 ACCOUNTS

This is a great double CD for cruising to, working out to and yes, playing air guitar to. Brian May compiled this collection as well as listing the advantages to being an air guitarist such as no tuning problems, no tedious practicing of scales, no roadies complaining about heavy equipment, no neighbors complaining, etc. There are also some various guitar posing diagrams such as the "chicken walk", "stride splitter", "low slung" and so on right up to "you've been a wonderful audience".

First this collection consists of the usual classic rock suspects:
*Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
*Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water
*Aerosmith/Run DMC - Walk This Way
*David Lee Roth - Yankee Rose
*Joe Walsh - Rocky Mountain Way
*Stevie Ray - Look At Little Sister
*Santana - Black Magic Woman
*Free - All Right Now
*BTO - Takin' Care Of Business
*Ratt - Round & Round
*Billy Idol - Rebel Yell
*Guess Who - American Woman
*Boston - More Than A Feeling
*Outlaws - Green Grass...

But interspersed throughout to keep it interesting are other great non-classic guitar songs like:
*Blur - Song 2
*Living Colour - Cult Of Personality (short version unfortunately)
*Motorhead - Ace Of Spades
*Husker Du - Sorry Somehow
*Queensryche - Jet City Woman
*Status Quo - Down, Down
*Foo Fighters - Wish You Were Here (with Brian May)

Throw in a couple of golden oldies like:
*Chuck Berry - Johnny B Goode
*The Surfaris - Wipe Out

and you have a really great collection to rock out to (with the exception of Rainbow doing "Since You've Been Gone"...please give me a break!).

This is also an enhanced CD in which you can tap out the guitar notes with the space bar on your keyboard to Motley Crue's "Kickstart My Heart", CCR's "Fortunate Son", Sabbath's "Paranoid", and Stevie Ray's "Pride & Joy". Unfortunately the only one that I could figure out to play was "Kickstart". Now all you need is an "air band"!

The first three songs are decent. Do not judge the album off of those three songs because what follows are Strokes songs destroyed in ways you never thought possible. Julian Casablancas, of The Strokes, does not like performing 12:51 at shows for some reason. A 30-second sample of this version and you'll never want to hear it again. Someday, Is This It?, Barely Legal, Under Control, and New York City Cops are just as awful. Stay away from this album!
