| | Essential Lynyrd Skynyrd CD Lynyrd Skynyrd Discography of CDs
 (8 Customer Reviews)
The 1998 Lynyrd Skynyrd compilation THE ESSENTIAL follows for the most part the same set-up as its 1979 set, GOLD AND PLATINUM, the two discs both collecting the best tracks Skynyrd recorded during its original run from 1973-1977. But what makes the two sets different is the inclusion of several rarities--demo versions of "Four Walls of Raiford" and "Comin' Home," as well as an unplugged version of "All I Can Do Is Write About It." Add to this such Skynyrd classics as "Sweet Home Alabama," "Gimme Three Steps," "What's Your Name," "Whiskey Rock-A-Roller," "Freebird," and "Tuesday's Gone," and you have another solid career overview of these Southern rock co-founders.
Import pressing of their two-disc, 25-track compilation. Universal.
Digitally remastered by Doug Schwart.
Includes liner notes by Ron O'Brien.

As with all of the Lynyrd Skynyrd albums, one is never disappointed. I am an avid fan and have been since I was a young child. Their music has reached across time and has found fans from all ages. This is just another one of their must have recordings.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No This is the only greatest hits by LS to own.
There are far too many best of packages from this band. Don`t bother with the others. Trust me. I`ve done the research. This is the only greatest hits by Skynyrd that has all of the following in common. It`s been remastered. It`s a double cd release. It contains both "Simple Man" and "Tuesdays Gone". No other fratest hits release by this band can make all three of those statements as of May 2003.

When Jon Anderson rejoined Yes after DRAMA, he was inserting himself into an unusual situation.

| | Vampire Weekend Contra CD (2010)
Essential Lynyrd Skynyrd CD music
$11.98  
The scholarly Upper West Side Soweto of Vampire Weekend's debut sounded self-assured, but on Contra, they step out of their ivory tower with just as much confidence. In all senses of the term, this is a sophomore album. The band still flaunts the collegiate sense of discovery that made Vampire Weekend charming -- and sometimes too precious -- but with more maturity and creativity. Another Discovery is just as much of a force on Contra as any of the band's much-noted influences (Afro-pop, Paul Simon's Graceland): Rostam Batmanglij's electro-hip-hop-pop project with Ra Ra Riot's Wes Miles, which released its album LP after the pair found acclaim with their day ...

Given his 2004 collaboration with William Shatner and his penchant for borderline-novelty tunes ("Army" and "Rockin' the Suburbs"), some might expect Ben Folds's second solo record, SONGS FOR SILVERMAN, to bask in outright silliness. While "Jesusland" contains sparkling moments of unsubtle irony ("beautiful ...
