Editorial Product Review: essential recording:Less than a year after the release of CSN's groundbreaking debut, the group returned with Stephen Stills's former Buffalo Springfield cohort/rival Neil Young augmenting the threesome. The result is a less concentrated but more kinetic creation; Young swims through the celestial harmonies of rock's best barbershop trio like a fly in consommé. While somewhat dated ('Almost Cut My Hair'? Wait a while, David, it'll fall out), Deju Vu is teeming with early '70s FM staples, ...
Editorial Product Review:Album Description:AC/DC's 1976 album digitally remastered and reissued in a special digipak plus a 16 page full color booklet containing all original album art, many unpublished photos, classic memorabilia and new 2003 liner notes. Epic. essential recording:In 1976, when the Eagles, Peter Frampton, and Heart ruled the rock airwaves, along came five scruffy young men (the lead guitarist was maybe all of 18 and dressed in a schoolboy's uniform) from Australia playing some of the rowdiest, ...
Editorial Product Review: :'A live performance from October 20, 1994, Pulse records the great psychedelic band Pink Floyd rocking out like only they can. Renowned for their hallucinatory special effects and lighting schemes, Pink Floyd goes all out at this spectacular (and very long) concert. Twenty-one of their classics are performed, including classic rock radio staples Dark Side of The Moon and Wish You Were Here. :At long last Pink Floyd: Pulse has arrived on DVD, and Floyd fans ...
Editorial Product Review: :Few rock bands can claim a successful three-decade spanning career; a feat even more impressive for a female-fronted band! Often hailed as the 'female Led Zeppelin' Heart dominated the classic rock realm with their debut album 1975's Multi-platinum Dreamboat Annie. Songs like 'Crazy on You' and 'Magic Man' from the debut as well as Little Queen's 'Barracuda' remain rock staples today. HEART: Live captures sisters Ann & Nancy Wilson in a powerful Soundstage concert recorded in ...
Editorial Product Review: :Sloppy in conception, and even sometimes in the playing, Let It Be often gets a bad rap. Unfairly, as it's often as charming, well written, and (oh yeah) rocking as the Beatles' 'better' albums; it's also more outright fun than Abbey Road, the masterpiece it followed into the stores. With Lennon and McCartney working together on the perfect 'I've Got a Feeling,' 'Two of Us,' and 'Dig a Pony,' it's hard to believe these guys were about ...

Editorial Product Review:Album Description:This CD contains an insert with an exclusive code for 1 free general admission ticket to Judas Priest on the Metal Masters Tour this summer. Offer good while supplies last.
Editorial Product Review: :This packed double-disc is the slim option for fans who find the Eagles' vaunted greatest hits sets too little and the boxed set too hefty. Hit singles large and medium are here, often ('One of These Nights,' 'Hotel California') still sounding definitive and even tough. Large helpings of favorite album cuts are also included, along with a taster from a promised 2004 Eagles studio reunion. Unfortunately, 'Hole in the World,' Don Henley's response to September 11, feels ...
Editorial Product Review: :If it's your belief that one of the reasons today's rock is so bereft of personality is that all sense of show business has been drained from the music, then a look back at the career of Styx offers proof positive that it wasn't always thus. Greatest Hits offers a comprehensive overview of the band, from its art-rock days--which produced a top 10 hit in 'Lady,' a new version of which is included in this package--to its ...
Small and light enough for a shirt pocket, Samsung's Helix YX-M1 is a one-stop audio entertainment center with an XM radio, a digital music player, and room for 50 hours of tunes, but it comes up short on battery life.
