A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Popular Reviews

Beautiful voice. Smooth. FYI, the songs Spotify started playing after this were really good too.

Back when there were musicians.

I didn't think I liked George Michael. This is good!

Too bad his voice doesn't match his songwriting skills. I heard my cat make nicer sounds when I stepped on his tail.

Pretrrttt good 80s pop.

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

All Ratings (651)

I'm not a big Stones fan, but this is a side of them I didn't know existed. Some songs almost sound like they came from some old time folk record.

Psychedelic 60s/70s at their best.

Didn't recognize only one song.

Definitely not for me.

I liked it.

It'sOK. I never really liked Roxy Music, they'really not quite my style. .

Really good. Don't know why I never bought it.

Kinda cool sounding, but it gets really repetitive. Might be ok in the background while doing something else. Some of the pieces sound like rig tones.

Haven't listened to this since I was a kid. I forgot how much talent they had.

Not bad. I didn't know they were more than rock/rap. They have a little funk to them. Instrumentals? Who'da thunk it?

Not bad. Never listened to them when I was younger. Good Sunday morning music.

Some of the music is ok; kind of funky or jazzy. The lyrics are another story. I think I heard the n word times in this album than I have my whole life! Also, he sounds like Tommy Davidson when he is acting like a little kid.

Another I've never heard, but I've heard all of the songs.

Good album

Probably my favorite Floyd album.

Pretty good. I was bust too young to appreciate him.

A voice gone too early.

Even though all but one song were in languages other than English, ut was pretty good.

Musically and lyrically, it's great. He sang runs before runs were cool, and I still don't like them. Also, it really got whiny at the end.

Not my style

This was really good.

Never heard of them. Not bad.

Ok for rap. Liked the backing music.

Too much random screaming.

Good if you like punk.

Interesting. Probably wouldn't listen again though.

Interesting voice.

Awesome album!

It was ok.

Good. Always liked Ry Cooder.

Psychedelia in Portugese.

Only recognized one song. The rest was really great.

Awesome!

Sonically it was awesome.

Didn't realize they were kinda punk.

Not guite bubblegum, but definitely pop disco.

I knew it was going to be weird, and it was.

When I was 14 and first heard this, I thought it was the greatest. Now that I am older, and listen to the musicianship, I know why.

Even though I couldn't understand any if the words, this was a great album. I had to listen to it twice.

Not bad for a rap album.

Some is ok. So.e sound like high school kids goofing around in their basement.

Sounds like a combination of 80s new wave and 70s psychedelic rock. I liked it.

Interesting, but nah. All sounds the same after a while.

I don't like rap. The language is awful. But I really like the sound and stories of the songs.

Forgot how good this is.

I hated it in 78. C'mon, it was disco! You were supposed to hate it. Listening again, these guys had some talent. Nice sound.

I think I need to listen to it again because it was just ok. Maybe it'll improve on a second go round.

I really liked it a t first. Sounded like if Amy Winehouse was a rapper. But then the later songs got really nasal, not like her clear voice at the start.

Never heard of him, but this was really good. Kind of mellow, but upbeat.

Some amongst were really great, and others just sounded like noise.

A little too avante garde.

All noise

Never realized how good a guitar player Mark Knopfler is.

The music was great, but I couldn't take his voice

Beautiful.

Too bad his voice doesn't match his songwriting skills. I heard my cat make nicer sounds when I stepped on his tail.

Noise.

It was pretty good. Get rid of the vocals and it would be great.

A little too screamy

Back when there were musicians.

Was never a big Madonna fan, except maybe when at the clubs in the mid 80's, but this is a really good album. Kind of a techno trance sound. Would be good for background music.

Sounds like it was created in a college experimental music class.

Boring

Meh

The guy is definitely talented, but I wouldn't call this music.

Boring

Sounded like I was at an old roller rink.

Meh. I like the sound, but 28 songs in 41 minutes? They all sound like "Hey, we could do something with this." They are all unfinished.

This was really good.

This started out really good, but then got boring about 2/3 of the way through. I actually couldn't wait for it to end so I could listen to something different.

Singer is a combination of David Bowie and Roger Waters. They sound like 80s new wave with 70s punk and 60 psychedelic.

I would have given it a 5, but some of the songs got kind of whiny.

Some great songs, but then some mediocre.

Not a big fan of random notes.

Started awesome. The middle was awesome. The last 2 or 3 son though weren't the best.

Noise

Interesting and weird. Best description is they sound like and EXTREMELY edgy and dark Kraftwerk, but in English.

Ok. A little mellow. Maybe I'd like it better when I'm in a mellow kind of mood.

Not bad for a rap album.

Nice voice. Not my style.

Pretrrttt good 80s pop.

I'm not a big Dylan fan, but this is pretty good.

A new Sunday morning music album.

I really liked this. Kind of spacey. 4

Lots of good songs, then it got really spacey.

I appreciate this more now than when I originally got it.

Some songs were food, some too much screaming, and some a bunch of noise.

Space jazz!!!

Nice and spacey.

The production was great. Interesting sonically. Too many boring songs.

Kraftwerk meets Alan Parsons

Not bad for a rap album. I like the music and the rhythms. I would give it a higher rating if it was something I could play in public.

Not as good as I hoped it would be.

Not my style.

Not awful. No mfer or n.

Actually pretty good.

Great voice, but weird album. I'll have to find some more of her stuff though.

Too whiny.

Great songwriter, but who pissed in his cheerios? All of the songs are downers.

Sounds like a Dead wannabe.

Awwwrsome 80s.

Music iss good. The beats are good. The lyrics on the other hand....

Great voice. She sings several different styles from jazz to R&B to classical to pop to contemporary....

British 80s new wave ska. Kinda cool.

Noise

Jangle rock!

I neverhelesshow good this album was.

Sounds like Fresh Prince, but with lots of swearing.

Nice mellow rock. Pure voice.

Pretty good southern rock. A cross between Lynard Skynard and Jason and the Scorchers.

Sounds like something my parents would have listened to. FYI, I'm 65.

I think there was only one song I didn't recognize. All the rest were hits.

Whiny noise.

Boring. Can't hold a tune. Thin voice.

Like a combination of Queen and Supertramp.

Not bad!

Awesome voice. Great control.

Interesting sound. Except king of depressing.

The deluxe edition got repetitive.

The guitars, sitars, drums and everything else sounded great. I couldn't take the vocals.

Interesting sound. Very sparse; not overproduced.

Nice guitars.

Sounds good but still whiny

Nice 80s electro punk.

Too psychedelic for me.

Noise

Boring

Back when there were musicians and song writers.

Interesting but boring at the same time.

A little house trans music with a middle eastern sound

Definite 80s vibe.

Ok. Started good then got repetitive. Sounded like a punk REM. Also not a wide range sonically. Actually had to turn down the treble.

This is a nice Sunday afternoon chill album.

I didn't think I liked George Michael. This is good!

Interesting. Irish folk to punk.

Meh

Cool but gets repetitive

Still whiny. All sounds the same.

Better than I expected.

Interesting. Based on the first song, I thought it was going to be middle eastern. Turns out it's Latin.

Boring

Cowboy punk

Kinda cool.

If a panic attack had a sound, this would be it.

A little slow

Nice atmospheric music.

A lot better than I expected.

Gets whiny.

Never listened to them back then, but they're not too bad.

Still don't like disco, but if you listen to this for the musicianship, it's pretty good.

Better than I thought it would be.

Still not a fan.

Still don't like him.

Sounds like noise.

Interesting. Maybe a little too avant gard.

Never heard of these guys, but they're pretty good.

I was going to give it a 4, but... Keith Moons drums!! HOLY $HIT!!!

Duran Duran wannabes.

Better than I thought it would be.

I like Neil Young, but I didn't like this.

I guess I found a guilty pleasure. I really liked this.

Didn't totally annoy me.

Nice voice. Good music. Calming, but boring.

These guys go pretty hard. I didn't know that. Got a little screechy sometimes though.

One of my favorite techno albums.

Kind of cool, but noisy.

Even though it sounds almost like one long song, and there isn't much range to her vocals, it really grew on me. It is a guilty pleasure.

Droning on and on and on....

Sounds somewhat like Dolly Parton, but smoother.

A cross between 70s disco, Stevie Wonder, and Santana.

Psychedelic hippie folk rock. Interesting and boring at the same time. Talented artists.

The vocalist sounds like a cross between lou.Reed and jonathan richmond except that he can't sing

Beautiful voice. Smooth. FYI, the songs Spotify started playing after this were really good too.

Never really listen to this style of music, but I really liked. I like the groove.

Just stick a screwdriver in my ear please! Nothing worse than a rich white kid trying to sound like he grew up in the inner city.

I always thought she only did pop dance songs. Guess there's more to her.

Scream scream scream. Bang bang bang. Chunka chunka.

The way country should sound!

Noise

All I heard was Madeline Kahn in Blazing Saddles.

If it wasn't for the lead vocals, I'd give it a 5.

Good talent but too whiny for me.
