Dummy
Portishead
Polygram Records, 1994
Essential electronic album.
What can be said that already hasn't been said? I don't think there's much. This must have REALLY seemed ground-breaking at the time: Backbeats that sometimes recall hip-hop elements and some real soaring, soulful vocals from Beth Gibbons. There's not a single bad song ...

Digital Video Essentials: HD Basics [Blu-ray]
Joe Kane
DVD International, 2008
Just what I expected
The video quality is excellent; the Audio section allowed me to more fully understand how well my surround sound was working; while quite technical, it starts at the beginning and is easy to follow. It is very worth the price!

Essential Leonard Cohen
Leonard Cohen
Sony, 2002
Musicians viewpoint
Leonard Cohen isn't just great, he's a genius. He'll take you on a musical journey that explores the depths of emotions. His music
makes him one of today's most important composers. If you have a taste
for the best,you need to hear and enjoy Leonard Cohen.

Let It Bleed [DSD]
The Rolling Stones, Rolling Stones
Abkco, 2002
Bloodrock
I got nasty habits. Small town boy, hung up on the only decent girl around. Eyes so blue they shoot me dead, the sky is grey with jealousy. Queue up for the bathroom 'round about 7:35, every Tuesday's early but her bad mood just makes me smile. Vain, private, ...

The Essential Bruce Springsteen
Bruce Springsteen
Sony, 2003
The point
I have read most of the reviews on this. The fact that a live "Trapped" was included made this entire collection worth the $30.
Isn't the point of being a music artist and selling music to keep putting out material that you... the fan... will WANT to buy? What would ...

The Essential Bob Dylan (Rm) (2CD)
Bob Dylan
Sony, 2005
GREAT COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW
Bashing Dylan's vocal skills as a means of arguing that he's not a great artist is kind of like complaining that Woody Allen isn't a versatile actor. If you have to resort to that, his talent is completely over your head. Look at this track list - 30 of the greatest ...

The Essential Jerry Reed
Jerry Reed
RCA, 1995
Best of the Best Of's
I have been a Jerry Reed fan ever since his movie teamings with Burt Reynolds and specifically his movie music beginning with W.W. AND THE DIXIE DANCE KINGS and SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT. Like many late blooming Jerry Reed fans I found myself buying -- as my budget ...

The Essential Billy Joel (2CD)
Billy Joe
Sony, 2001
Just the cream
I can't think of anything that's missing from this album, except maybe "Why Should I Worry" which he did for the animated movie Oliver and Company. Disney must have all the rights, because I don't see it on his regular albums. Probably wasn't enough of a "hit" but I ...

The Essential Willie Nelson
Willie Nelson
Sony, 2003
Great CD!!!
This is a great CD with lots of different music! Willie is always good but the combination with other artists and older and newer songs makes this CD special. There was stuff we hadn't heard before!

The Essential Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley
Bmg / Elvis, 2007
The Best
This CD has all or most all of Elvis's hits from the early days to later days. The sound quality and mix was very good and up to modern standards.
Listening to it took me back to my youth when I remember Elvis performing Hound Dog on the Ed Sullivan show - If anyone ...

Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar Masterpieces
Essential Guitar: 34 Gtr Masterpieces
Decca, 2002
Two-and-a-half hours of bliss
This may be the best money I've ever spent. I got 2-1/2 hours of bliss for less than what I'd usually pay for one CD -- and you know how it is with music. You buy an album because of a song or two that you love, and you find that you like maybe half the songs on it. ...
