By an Amazon.com customer
The Ultimate HitsThe Ultimate Hits by Garth Brooks
Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $8.25
The price is unbeatable and the compilation spans his entire career. For Garth fans, it's a must-have. For one just beginning a collection, this is a great start. See my review for more.
Intensive CareIntensive Care by Robbie Williams
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $1.25
Robbie is amazing...a great pop artist who has not yet broken ground here in the USA. If you like pop music, GET THIS ALBUM. See my review for full feedback.
Stop All The World NowStop All The World Now by Howie Day
Buy used from: $0.10
Howie is a great new artist. Many lump Howie, Gavin DeGraw, John Mayer, and all other acoustic performers together, which is not fair to any of them...they all have their own unique styles.
Hot FussHot Fuss by The Killers
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $2.50
An amazing band that has received a lot of press and accolade of late...and deservedly so.
Sam's TownSam's Town by The Killers
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $3.50
Sophomore album from The Killers. This one is just as good as the first. Very enjoyable.
Greatest HitsGreatest Hits by Robbie Williams
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $7.59
See above...Robbie rocks. :-)
Queen: Greatest Hits IIIQueen: Greatest Hits III by Queen
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $3.59
One of my all-time favorites, Queen almost always is in my playlist regardless of my mood or flavor du jour. Truly timeless.
Classic Country GoldClassic Country Gold by Various Artists
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $14.89
I received this CD set by accident through one of my subscription services. There is a lot of great stuff here from the first hey-day of country music. Great stuff.
The World of Nat King ColeThe World of Nat King Cole by Nat King Cole
Buy used from: $6.94
A musical giant whom I miss greatly. A lot of great hits in this album. Great stuff.
Beneath These FireworksBeneath These Fireworks by Matt Nathanson
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $5.95
Like Howie, Matt is an excellent singer-songwriter. His live shows are AMAZING. If he plays near you, GO SEE HIM. You will not regret it.
Some Mad HopeSome Mad Hope by Matt Nathanson
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $7.95
Matt's current release has wonderful depth and breadth. This is a stunning piece of work. GET IT!
Stories of a StrangerStories of a Stranger by O.A.R.
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $4.28
Of a Revolution is an incredible band, and this is an incredible album. Marc Roberge has a great voice and the band performs superbly on this album. I can listen to this album repeatedly and not get tired of it.
20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Engelbert Humperdinck20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Engelbert Humperdinck by Engelbert Humperdinck
Buy new: $7.97 / Used from: $3.08
Engelbert is an artist who, somewhat like Robbie, flies a bit under the radar here in the USA. He has a big following everywhere he goes, though, including here. You just don't hear a lot about him.
Dino: The Essential Dean MartinDino: The Essential Dean Martin by Dean Martin
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.86
The Rat Pack were (and, in many ways, still are) the Kings of Cool. This is my most recent acquisition by a Rat Pack artist, and it is excellent.
The Limited SeriesThe Limited Series by Garth Brooks
Buy used from: $9.67
I actually have the newest "Lost Sessions" album in the playlist. Garth is a great artist and an AMAZING showman. Axiously awaiting his return to the music scene...COME BACK SOON, GARTH.
Leave a WhisperLeave a Whisper by Shinedown
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $3.25
My cousin introduced me to Shinedown's music. The handful of songs that he played for me got me interested, and I liked the songs enough to buy both of their albums. I am hooked. This is a great album...I think I like every song on it!
Us and ThemUs and Them by Shinedown
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $6.36
This is Shinedown's debut album and it is KILLER. There are several excellent songs on this album, but "Some Day" is worth the price of the entire album.
Songs About JaneSongs About Jane by Maroon 5
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $1.00
Their debut album went straight into orbit, and for good reason. This is an excellent album!
It Won't Be Soon Before LongIt Won't Be Soon Before Long by Maroon 5
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $2.62
No sophomore curse here...great music by a great band. Adam's vocals are incredible and the band sounds amazing. Three years between albums seems like a long time to a lot of people, but if every album that they create is like this one, then Maroon 5 should continue with this pace. Just incredible.
DaughtryDaughtry by Daughtry
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $4.00
No weak songs here. In-your-face, powerful music. Chris's voice is fantastic and his band plays admirably. Great debut album...looking forward to future endeavors!
Extreme BehaviorExtreme Behavior by Hinder
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $1.95
There are some very mixed reviews of this album and of Hinder's music in general, but I like it. The lyrics are a bit juvenile, but the sound is strong.
