Customer Reviews

but not for me
I like to buy the "Grammy" collections because it introduces me to music I would not hear any other way. I listen to the radio maybe 2 hours a day at the most and there's not a lot of new stuff played in that short time period.
I liked some of the music, but I have to admit the Jonas Brothers cut left me cold. And the Eagles? The harmony is still great, but quit singing about lost love like a 1960s teenage boy. I'm sure both of these remarks show my age and taste in music, but hey, it's who I am.
Take a peek at the track listings and see if you're interested in the cd. If you don't care for the artists, you probably won't like the cd. But if you're like me and like to stretch your musical horizons, check it out.

The best of 2008
Here's another volume of the annual Grammy Nominees series. As always, this collection provides a good overview of what last year had to offer. It's a good mix of rock, pop, R&B, hip-hop and country. The tracklisting consists of artists from the General and Pop fields. there are some familiar artists here as well as many new ones. The only major nominee missing here is Jason Mraz. The most intriguing track here is "Please Read The Letter" by the unlikely pairing of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. Here, Plant's vocals are a far cry from his Led Zeppelin days. Another interesting track is "Paper Planes" by M.I.A. which features the sound of a gun firing during the chorus and samples The Clash's "Straight To Hell". There's also a song from the Eagles at the end which runs nearly eight minutes. And finally, the version of OneRepublic's "Apologize" appearing here does not feature Timbaland.

Whether or not you're a fan of the Grammy's this 79 minute disc is a good way to keep up with today's music. It's definitely a good way to discover new artists which this disc has plenty of.
