Thirty Years of Maximum R&B

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: The Who

Release Date July 05, 1994
if you could fit all the best of the Who into a smaller box set, this is it. They changed music as we know it and are one of the best bands of all time. Great set for someone not looking for the entire collection, but you will be surprised with all the great music here!

The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: The Rolling Stones

Release Date October 15, 1996
I was in college when this came out. I guess it was only released in the UK and probably on TV. Still it brought back memories of the time - 1968. Everyone looked so young in the video, still the music was great especially if you want to see the Who and the Stones and what they looked like 40 years ago. The production was perhaps a little amaeturish but still a fun watch.

Still Life

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: The Rolling Stones

Release Date November 17, 1998
Stones live albums will always bug longtime fans because very few of them are memorable yet fans have to have them all! `Still Life' is no exception, run of the mill per usual, just as `Love You Live' was five years previous. What these albums should do is only spotlight new songs from that tour to at least give them some variety. "Going to a Go-Go" and "Twenty Flight Rock" are decent but were they really necessary to have on album? "Black Limousines" or "She's So Cold" would've been better alternatives. Also, do we really need TWO Motown songs? "Just My Imagination" sounds nothing like the blood and thunder version from `Some Girls". "Start Me Up" is included here of course but it already sounds tired here, with a sped up tempo - not much different ... Read More:

Aftermath

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: The Rolling Stones

Release Date October 25, 1990
Jonesing for some Brian Jones? Good, because he's all over this record the way ineptitude is all over the McCain-Palin ticket. He doesn't just play guitar. He also plays dulcimer, sitar, marimbas, bells, sax, harmonica, piano, organ, and trumpet. Not only is that a lot of instruments, that's also a bunch of weird instruments. I mean, how do you go from dulcimer to sitar to marimba to saxophone? Not that I'm complaining, though. I love the weird instruments on this record!

As you'd probably expect, this one's pretty screwy. There are a lot of fun country-folk hick hops that I absolutely adore. They're so much fun! "High and Dry," "Flight 505" and "It's Not Easy" are all maximum fun! Then there's the really old stuff. I mean, "High and Dry" is ... Read More:

The Dark Side of the Moon

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: Pink Floyd

Release Date October 25, 1990
This recording speaks for itself in terms of production quality; this is a long-standing reference recording. The MFSL Gold CD version of this CD is EXCELLENT. I have been a part of the ultra high-end audio industry for over 30 years and only listen to reference quality systems; this transfer is incredibly well done. There are no gain (volume issues) or any lack of resolution in any area. I don't think the performance advantages over the standard and SACD versions are subtle. This is well worth the investment, and becoming rare. Buy it while its available ~

Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: The Who

Release Date October 29, 1996
Everything about this release is wrong, except for the content. Maybe if the sound was recompressed, remixed and washed out a couple of times it might be tolerable. It seems most of The Who's punch from "Live at Leeds" was lost in the open air of this festival. I've heard better bootlegs, but not to say that this recording is "dirty", because it's not. If anything is too quiet, clean and tired. I'd pass.

Queen on Fire: Live at the Bowl

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: Queen

Release Date November 09, 2004
For most die-hard Queen fans this CD & DVD is a must have. Unfortunately for the rest, it's a take it or leave it proposition. First the sound quality is excellent. Same for the DVD visual. The band sounds great and enthusiastic. The set list is less than to be desired though. They were promoting one of their weakest albums "Hot Space" I must give credit though. The songs from that album sound much better live than their studio counterparts.
There are some great performances "Save me", Fat bottom girls", "Play the game" & "Under pressure"
Don't know why they keep insisting on adding yet another extended Brian May guitar solo? That part really gets boring fast.
Over all it's a good live CD & DVD, but for the causal Queen fan, I recommend either "Live killers" ... Read More:

Live at the Aquarius Theatre: The Second Performance

Release Date May 11, 2004
In spite of the "roughness," you really hear The Doors. "Must have" for the dedicated fan. Great that these are being made available. Looking for more. A little pricey, but worth it for the dedicated fan. Shipping and handling very fair. A+

Bananas

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: Deep Purple

Release Date October 07, 2003
Ok I love Deep Purple if you're talking about classic Purple 60s, 70s and 80s but this is just embarrasing. I went out and bought this hearing all the great reviews about it. People ranked it with classics such as Machine Head so I caved in and bought it. Once I opened the package I saw the band members names and the only original member left was Ian Paice. I didn't realize that John Lord had left. But I played the cd anyway. I have listened to it and the songs are just cheesy and bland and not very Purpleish. I mean if Blackmore was still in the band there is no way he would have let them call an album Bananas but this album sounds exactly like Bananas. The lyrics are bad and the music is terrible. I won't even bother to go by a track by track review because there is nothing on here worth ... Read More:

Dirty Work

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: The Rolling Stones

Release Date July 26, 1994
`Dirty Work' is my least favorite Stones album ever and it's not even close. And I actually like it better then when it first came out! The whole thing just sounds forced which when you read the history of the recording that seems to be the case exactly. Mick Jagger sounds like he couldn't be bothered and his lyrics and vocals just plain suck. Keith and Ronnie soldiered on and in the past that seemed to work but the songs just aren't good enough. One good decision that Mick made was not to tour behind the album which in hindsight was genius. There are good songs and after a couple of plays you can get into them but then you have to brainwash yourself into forgetting the band's immense legacy which of course is impossible. "One Hit" is a good song; probably the best but wouldn't be filler on `Some Girls'. "Harlem ... Read More:
