| | Teenage Kicks CD
Sanctuary's entry in the crowded world of new wave/punk compilations features the usual slew of late-'70s/early-'80s stalwarts like the Jam ("Town Without Malice"), the Clash ("Rock the Casbah"), and the Undertones, the latter of whom provide Teenage Kicks with its iconic title. It's a grab bag for sure -- future compilers of sets like these need to realize that nobody wants to hear the demo version of "Anarchy in the U.K.," so please stop it -- and while it may get a little bogged down at times in straight-up, knock-over-your-amplifier British punk, there are enough wild cards like "Geno" from Kevin Rowland's Dexys Midnight Runners, Adam & the Ants' ballsy call to arms "Antmusic," and the English Beat's dancefloor classic "Mirror in the Bathroom" to make it a worthwhile investment for genre newcomers. ~ James Christopher Monger
Teenage Kicks chronicles one of pop music's most exciting periods--the glory days of punk and new wave. The double-disc album includes a whopping twenty-seven Top Ten Hits, eight of which went all the way to No.1 in the Official UK Singles Chart. Comprising knockout classics from The Undertones, The Jam, Blondie, The Buzzcocks, Dexy's Midnight Runners, Madness, The Boomtown Rats and many more, every single tune is an instant sing-a-long classic, sure to stir up fond memories of when music was vibrant, outspoken, and always refreshing.

Purchase Teenage Kicks CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Susan Boyle I Dreamed A Dream CD (2009)
Teenage Kicks album
 $9.55     
Susan Boyle's grand unveiling on Britain's Got Talent was with a song from Les Miserables - the very song that lends this album its title -- and if she could become an international sensation based on a show tune standard, there's no reason for her to change her approach on her debut, since that's the sound that made her a star. Plus, a large part of Boyle's appeal is that she's a middle-aged woman recalling a bygone era when there were singers that appealed to an adult audience by offering soft, stately versions of pop hits and standards. That time was the late `60s and early `70s, and apart from a rather faithful version of Madonna's "You'll See," I Dreamed a Dream could very well have been released all those years ago, as it mixes up the show tunes, gospel, and Christmas carols with covers of Skeeter Davis' "The End of the World," the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses," and a version of "Daydream Believer" that is easily the slowest on record. Boyle sings beautifully throughout, delivering more ...
| | Jimmy Buffett Buffet Hotel CD (2009)
Teenage Kicks CD music
$9.74  
Since Jimmy Buffett never leaves his comfort zone, it's hard to call 2009's Buffet Hotel a return to roots but, in a way, it is. Discounting the mock rap on "Turn Up the Heat and Chill the Rosé," this album doesn't even have the lingering country and reggae flavors that seasoned 2006's Take the Weather with You, with all of the songs riding a cool, mellow country-rock wave, the kind that has been his stock-in-trade since the `70s. There's a difference between being part of a tradition and being stuck in the past and Buffett is surely in the former, not shying away from the new millennial mess, admitting that we all have "A Lot to Drink About" and never flinching from his advancing years, most movingly on a cover of Bruce Cockburn's "Life's Short Call Now." Cockburn's song is paired with another expertly ...
| | Pink Funhouse CD (2008) Explicit
Teenage Kicks music CDs
$8.99  
Pink's insistently hooky, attitude-filled pop-rock has kept the singer a fixture on the radio and on singles charts since the early 2000s. The artist's fifth effort, FUNHOUSE, doesn't tamper with the formula: Pink's powerhouse vocals and in-your-face approach, backed by stadium-sized production, are in full effect on all 12 tracks. Even though the album deals primarily with aftermath of her divorce and includes serious moments of self-confrontation like "Sober," fans needn't worry that Pink has lost any of her chutzpah.
If anything, there's an increased sense of ...
| | Very Best Of Lou Monte CD (1997)
Teenage Kicks songs
$15.29
Digitally remastered by Eliot Goshman (1996 BMG Studios, New York, New York).
Lou Monte, the king of the Italian-American novelty song, is well represented on this career-spanning anthology that contains selections from his terms with RCA Victor, Roulette and Reprise, including all of his Top 100 hits. Only a couple of ballads interrupt an otherwise non-stop program of novelties, many ...
| | Bon Jovi Circle CD (2009)
Teenage Kicks album
$11.17
Bon Jovi's 2007 effort, LOST HIGHWAY, found New Jersey's finest brandishing a Nashville-tinged, commercial rock/country crossover sound that wasn't too far a stretch from their usual arena rocking anthems for the Everyman. And where that album sometimes tried too hard to fit into the conventions of trad country, sacrificing some ...
