"I truly, truly believe that to appreciate this album fully you had to have 'been there'. For some reason Nowhere got all the plaudits and attention, but GBE hangs together beautifully, and is all the better for it.

"Considered one of the best Christmas albums of all time. A great representation of Phil Spector's Wall of Sound." Reply

"If you look for this album on spotify, you'll find it under this title: "They're off and rolling" Says Archie Wikipedia has no mention of this title, but that's the title on Spotify." Reply

"A sleazy electro pop album. The record cover says it all with Marc Almond suspiciously half hiding something obviously very naughty. As for the music, tainted love, is one of the great singles of the eighties, and, bedsitter, a good follow up. The closing track, say hello, wave goodbye, is beauti..." [+] Reply

"I know I'm in the minority on this, but I think this is The Who's best album next to Quadrophenia. Highly underrated. Other commenters are correct - it does feel like a Townshend solo album, but Roger's vocals make it much more than just that." Reply

"This is a non-stop, if I listen to a track of it I listen them all. Each one is so well crafted, the productions are flawless, her vocals are beautiful, the dance euphoria of the first 3 are insane and Music has my favourites Madonna's compositions. I love how she moves throught such diferent sty..." [+] Reply

"Digable Planets is a rap trio formed in Brooklyn in 1987, and "Blowout comb" is their second and last real album. He was released in 1994, at a very exciting time for rap. Many musical genres are explored by hip hop, the fusion with jazz is one of the most important. And in this mid-decade, the r..." [+] Reply
