PRINCE - THE HITS









































































































































































Prince "The Hits" Album Review
One of the best American Rock Bands Period!!!
This is one of the best albums in the last thirty years. There are no "filler" songs on this cd and just about every song you hear consistantly on the radio. Its no wonder why Journey's greatest hits has sold 14 million copies since its release, and is one of the highest selling albums of all time!
To those that are negative and talk bad towards extremely popular rock bands such as Foreigner, Journey, and Boston, take your negativity elsewhere.
You cannot argue with success and Journey is one of the best rock bands of all time. According to the RIAA, they have over 20 top 40 hits, sold over 75 million records worldwide, 45 million in the United States alone. They are the 29th best selling band in the U.S. Nearly all of their albums have gone multi-platinum. Most importantly Journey had one of the greatest singers of our time, Steve Perry!
Video Stellar - Violent
Stellar* -- the hits -- 'Violent', 'Part Of Me', 'Every Girl', 'Undone', 'What You Do', 'All It Takes', 'One More Day' -- the list goes on and on. Their 1999 debut album 'Mix' set New Zealand's radio waves alight, and Stellar* quickly became Sony Music's biggest selling kiwi band. The acclaim wasn't just sales based, with Stellar* securing eight Tui Awards for 'Mix' and its 2001 follow up 'Magic Line'. After 'Magic Line' the band took some time out for expansion -- singer Boh Runga went to live in Los Angeles to hone her skills as a songwriter: "The opportunity came up to base myself in LA. My publisher introduced me to working songwriters over there, people who were writing for artists like Christina Aguilera, Meatloaf and Ricky Martin." "It was an amazing experience being thrown into a situation where I would be in a room with a complete stranger with amazing musical credentials and hold my own. By the end of the day we would normally have a great pop song, or at least the basis of a great pop song." "I got to sit down with Wendy Melvoin (Prince and the Revolution) and record our song in Frank Sinatra's old studio. I wrote 'Miracles' with Kevin Savigar, Rod Stewart's song writer. And I penned 'Whiplash' with Shelly Peiken who's written major hits like Meredith Brooks' 'Bitch' and Christina Aguilera's 'Genie In A Bottle'." Meanwhile, drummer Andrew Maclaren and guitarist Chris Van De Geer both concentrated on building a state-of-the-art recording studio, while simultaneously producing albums for other artists. Bassist Kurt Shanks took time out in Sydney. The band swapped ideas via the internet to keep the songwriting process flowing, with Kurt and Boh returning to NZ for recording stints. Boh admits to some nerves the first time the band got together again. "We've always been our own harshest critics," she says. "I'd written what I truly believe are about the best batch of songs I've every come up with, but didn't know how they'd be received until I sat down and played them to the boys." She needn't have worried. The band then set about unifying the songs into a cohesive album. New contenders arose as the band fed off each other. Asked what listeners should expect, Andrew says "We've stripped it back so the essence of these songs can clearly speak. We've made our strongest album to date."

Video EXUMA, Monkberry Moon Delight
Delicias de la luna de Monkberry (Monkberry Moon Delight), gran composición de Paul McCartney, aquí cantada por el misterioso EXUMA -artista maldito, oriundo de las islas Bahamas-, en una grabación de 1972 que, en la opinión de este cornista, supera a la original de Paul McCartney. La calidad del sonido es baja, ya que fue extraido directamente del vinilo, publicado en la Argentina por el sello Kama Sutra en los '70. *** So I sat in the attic, A guitar at my nose, And the wind played a dreadful cantata (cantata...). Sore was I from the crack of an enemys hose, And the horrible sound of tomato (tomato...). Ketchup (ketchup) Soup and puree (soup and puree), Dont get left behind (get left behind)... When a rattle of rats had awoken, The sinews, the nerves and the veins. My piano was boldly outspoken, in attempts to repeat its refrain. So I stood with a knot in my stomach, And I gazed at that terrible sight Of two youngsters concealed in a barrel, Sucking monkberry moon delight. Monkberry moon delight, Monkberry moon delight. Well, I know my banana is older than the rest, And my hair is a tangled beretta. When I leave my pijamas to billy budapest, And I don't get the gist of your letter (your letter...). Catch up! (catch up), Cats and kittens (cats and kittens), Don't get left behind (get left behind)... Monkberry moon delight... Monkberry moon delight...

JAMIROQUAI - THE RETURN OF THE SPACE COWBOY


































Jamiroquai "The Return of the Space Cowboy" Album Review
Excellent
THIS IS THE BEST ALBUM IN THE WORLDDDD!!! LOL
4real I love this album soo much - it's ma favourite in the world, and it's absolutely timeless - u can never get bored of this, u'll always take it out now and again and go omg i cant believ hw good tht is lol. The best song on it is definitly Space Cowboy (an i got mad wen they neva put it on the film 'the return of the space cowboys lol). However, the beginning of 'Scam' is truly magical. The worst licks off this album are 'The Kids' and maybe 'Journey To Arnhemland, which is an instrumental. At 1st I h8ed 'Half the man', but then I loved it cos i find it easy ta sing to lol. 'Manifest Destiny' is amazing too, and I can really relate to it. 'Just another Story' is FANTASTIC!!! I'm a real Jamiroquai fan and out of all their albums this is the best (EOPearth comes 2nd!)!!
If u havent already got it - i strongly reccomend u buy it - u wont regret it it's amazing - even beats ma fav redhotchilipeppers album (BSSM - 4 those fellow fans ;) )
THE RETURN OF THE SPACE COWBOY IS AMAZING!
