Through the Years [Import]

Album Description
Through the Years, originally released in 1971, was definitely influenced by the heavy Cream-style blues-rock typical of the period (evident on the opening track). After the group split Saunders became a member of the Gary Glitter band and Harrison went o

Amazon.com essential recording

The most striking thing about this two-disc overview of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers is the powerful case it makes for its creators as the most consistent band of not only their era, but of all time. Think of another rocker who can claim to have created a quarter-century of recordings that, when ranked on a 10-point scale, never dip below a solid 7? Indeed, while disc 1 reflects a marginally more aggressive mindset than disc 2, it wouldn't be difficult to imagine the discs flip-flopped; maturity has yet to induce lethargy for Petty and the boys. Occupying the solid middle ground between the 18-track Greatest Hits and the six-disc Playback box, Anthology serves up 34 selections, nearly every one an FM staple. From 1976's "Breakdown" through the collection's only new offering, 2000's "Surrender," this retrospective never flags. But how could it? --Steven Stolder

Customer Reviews:

Great for "Casual Fans".......2007-06-30

I've been listening to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers ever since they hit the radio airwaves back in the late seventies. I remember going to neighboorhood party's during the summer of 1978 (I was in Junior High) and Refugee was in the Top 40, gettin' blasted through the speakers.

Subsequently, over the years, I have purchased every one of Tom's and the Boy's cd's. I still consider myself just a casual fan. I simply like the hits off each cd, with a few extras thrown in by personal taste. Anyway, the majority of these discs are from the early '90's. Not the best sound quality. And, it takes some time and effort to load each disc in my itunes and pick just the songs that I want. The solution?

Buy this 2-disc Anthology. It's a great price. It's sounds good. And all your favorite Petty tunes are right there, conveniently in one place, uh...or two. I dropped them into my iPod, and haven't looked back since.

Now all I have to do is get The Last DJ and The Highway Companion, and I'm done.

Brings Tears To Your Eyes.......2007-06-08

Since Tom Petty is an icon of my generation, I could not help but enjoy/love this CD. All of his popular songs and even the not so popular songs make this CD an excellent choice for those rockers who want to turn it down a notch but have the great guitar licks coming at you with precision.

Buy this album.......2007-05-28

This album is an essential for any Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers fan. Normally I try to stay away from albums that are compiled with songs that are considered to be the best of, but this album is definitely an exception. It's not the best of, it's Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers at their best. Trust me, this is an excellent addition to any music lovers collection.

Outstanding Petty anthology covering the MCA years.......2007-02-27

THE BAND: Tom Petty (vocals, guitar, keyboards, harmonica), Mike Campbell (lead guitar), Benmont Tench (keyboards), Howie Epstein (bass), Ron Blair (bass), Stan Lynch (drums & percussion). Guest appearances include, George Harrison, Stevie Nicks, Jeff Lynne.

THE DISCS: (2000) 34 tracks on two discs clocking in at approximately 124 minutes (disc-1 with 57:37 minutes, and disc-2 with 66:16). Included with the discs is a 10-page booklet containing song titles/credits, band photos, a 1-page intro from Cameron Crowe, what songs came from which albums and the year released. This compilation follows Petty from his debut in 1976 through this 2000 "Anthology". Digitally remastered sound. Label - UTV Records / MCA.

ALBUM REPRESENTATION: Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers (4 songs), You're Gonna Get It (3), Damn The Torpedoes (4), Hard Promises (2), Long After Dark (3), Southern Accents (3), Pack Up The Plantation (1), Let Me Up - I've Had Enough (2), Full Moon Fever (5), Into The Great Wide Open (3), Greatest Hits (1), Playback (1), Anthology (1), Bella Donna - Stevie Nicks 1981 solo album (1).

COMMENTS: Every music listener needs some Tom Petty in his/her collection. "Damn The Torpedoes" (1979) and "Full Moon Fever" (1989) are essential studio recordings of his. Other albums like his self titled debut, "Long After Dark", "Southern Accents" and "Into The Great Wide Open" are great albums, but I wouldn't classify them as essential Petty necessarily. Petty's "Greatest Hits" (1993) is still a fine representation on one disc, but with this more recent 2-disc "Anthology", the '93 disc is now obsolete. 17 of the 18 songs from his "Greatest Hits" album are here, minus the skippable last track "Something In The Air". THE GOOD: All the staples are here - "Breakdown", "American Girl", "I Need To Know", "Refugee", "Here Comes My Girl", "Don't Do Me Like That", "Even The Losers", "You Got Lucky", "Don't Come Around Here No More", "Free Fallin'", "I Won't Back Down", "Runnin' Down A Dream", "Learning To Fly", "Mary Jane's Last Dance", etc. The minor successes absent from his '93 "Greatest Hits" are here - "Change Of Heart", "A Woman In Love (It's Not Me)", "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around", "So You Want To Be A Rock & Roll Star", "Jammin' Me", "Love Is A Long Road", and "Yer So Bad". There are several deep album cuts (i.e. "Hometown Blues", "The Wild One, Forever", "Too Much Ain't Enough", etc) that are nice inclusions. Chronological order is a bonus here - showcasing Petty's slight changes over the decades. Song selection is top notch. The remastered sound is crisp. THE NOT SO GOOD: Only two things stick out here. First and foremost, there are no tracks from his "Wildflowers" (1994) or "Echos" (1999) albums... most likely due to these 2 albums being on the 'Warner Bros' label (and everything prior on MCA's label). This is a shame because I really feel the songs "You Wreck Me", "Cabin Down Below" and "It's Good To Be King" deserve to be on "Anthology". Perhaps this should've been titled "Anthology - Through The MCA Years". In the same vein, there are no selections from Petty's soundtrack to the movie "She's The One" (1996). Many of Petty's early songs are short (out of the first 8 tracks, the longest song is three-and-a-half minutes), and with that being said why not throw a few more songs on both discs and utilize the free space (22 unused minutes alone on disc-1). OVERALL: A ton of music and all the major hits (despite the 2 omitted albums from Warner Bros). To date, this is the best Tom Petty compilation... period (5 stars).

Great Collection!.......2007-02-12

This is a great collection that spans Mr. Petty's career so far. There is not a bad song here. I put it on and turned it up when it arrived at my house. I am familiar with most of the songs and happy to hear the ones I missed. I recommend head phones and a comfortable couch and give this a good listen. The waiting is the hardest part....

Jump (or be forced) directly into the three-plus hour DVD on this a/v split release for footage of Josh Homme and band on the stage in London during the hottest months of 2005. There are plenty of behind-the-scenes shots of the ever revolving group. Foo Fighter Dave Grohl pops up. ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons pulls a cameo. It's all here. Key performances include "No One Knows," "Little Sister," "Burn The Witch," plus smoking versions of "Fun Machine" and "I Wanna Make It Wit Chu" (from Desert Sessions Vol. 9 & 10). The audio-only disc provides listeners with 75 minutes of pure QotSA including a powerhouse reading of "I Think I Lost My Headache" and an appropriately ragged "Long Slow Goodbye." This often strange picture is a fine fitting snapshot. --Jedd Beaudoin

Album Description

You can think of this feature-length concert DVD/live album, which features all the crucial Queens hits from their studio albums, as a "to go" version of their decibel-happy shows, but that really won't be doing the three and a half hours of live, rare, and acoustic performances and behind-the-scenes footage of the band and their pals like Dave Grohl, Mark Lanegan, Billy Gibbons, and former Queens bassist Nick Olivieri making fools of themselves, justice.

It might help to think of Over the Years as a 21st-century version of Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains the Same for the volume of its material, or even A Hard Day's Night for its willingness to show the Queens having a laugh, but they'd rather you see and hear it for what it really is--the definitive encapsulation of the band and their music from their not-so-humble beginnings to their current status as one of the rock's biggest and most dynamic acts.

Included in the concert footage from the band's sold-out Brixton Academy and Koko shows in London last summer are live favorites from Rated R and Songs for the Deaf such as "No One Knows," "Feel Good Hit of the Summer," and "Go with the Flow," as well as new Queens classics from their latest album Lullabies to Paralyze like the smash single "Little Sister" and their most recent bombshell, "Burn the Witch." In addition to the three-plus hours of live and uncut Queens mayhem, Over the Years also boasts 75 minutes of audio bliss that covers all the bases Queens fans need to get the rush of their favorite songs performed live and loud shot directly into their homes.

Also included are the brand-new track "Fun Machine" as well as "Make It Wit Chu," a previously unreleased gem from singer Josh Homme's fabled Desert Sessions, an ongoing series of collaborative songwriting and recording sessions where marquee musicians such as PJ Harvey and Deen Ween are invited down to his studio Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree, California, to join him in collectively exploring new musical terrain.

To Grandmothers house we go...........2007-03-16

Being an avid fan of QOTSA I was rather excited to listen to this album and watch the DVD because of the great track listing. Overall everything is awesome, with one exception, I have a really hard time enjoying it only because Joey Castillo is going at a little bit of a faster tempo than the songs originally should be at, to me it's very noticeable and it drive me nuts! I just want to yell at him sloooow down a little and it will be perfect. That is the only reason why I did not give it five stars. Other than that this set is awesome, great DVD to watch with lots of great extras and great cameo's as well. And the album is a great summer album, makes you wanna be gettin with the love! Oh one more thing...Nick Oliveri needs to be back in the band again, that guy is SICK(Sick as in really really good)!!!

AMAZING! LAS REINAS SON LO MEJOR!.......2006-03-18

If you love QOTSA, like i do, you must buy this DVD. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!! LAS REINAS DE LA EDAD DE PIEDRA SON LO MEJOR!!!

One heck of a mind-f***!.......2006-02-01

As far as QOTSA albums go, it's okay. The songs are fresh-sounding (which is something I don't always find with live albums) but the real item being showcased here is the concert DVD. Impeccably trippy. It adds a completely enthralling element to the already rocking music and let's you relax and such with the band in a sort of intimate way. I definitely recommend this to hardcore QOTSA fans but I'm not sure the average joe would appreciate it as much as I did.

A Falling Experience!.......2006-01-28

Despite Worries, I Knew the disc will be a valued part of my collection.

When I finally decided to purchase this DVD I was a little worried. ( I owned songs for the deaf, and downloaded every single, and a whole bunch of random songs.) I didnt know if an entire DVD would entertain me. I saw them recently on tour, And they are Incredible. The live accuracy of the (ever-evolving) band was perfect. You hear almost EXACTLY what they have on their studio recordings.

Luckily, their album sounds, and live show COLLIDES into this wonderful set of discs.

During the first batch of songs("Flow" through "little sister") I felt like all I did was spend $15 bucks. But at some point I finally realised I was completely engrossed. A Perfect balance of familiarity and Improv. And of course, the DVD goes on for TONS of songs after that!. I Wish I could come up with a fault of this recording. But there isn't any. Great Sound, Good Song selection, Awesome Visual/Angle Imagery.

It also has alot of Hilarous crowd interaction and Clips

If your just skimming this review, This is a Great DVD/CD set. The Sound Quality is listenable, not like cheap LIVE recordings. PERFECT for putting on in the background. And ABSOLUTELY AMAZING to sit down and watch with the lights dimmed, maybe a couple drinks. = )

one of better music dvd's i own.......2006-01-14

this is definately a must have for any QOTSA fans. they play stuff off of every album but play more off of the s/t and songs for the deaf than anything else. luckily they don't play much off of rated r (that album is definately the weak link). the sound quality is fantastic so don't be worried about that. it's got a bunch of bonus stuff when nick was still in the band.

the only reason why i only gave this 4 stars is because it was basically only one show with only one line up. i really would have liked to get better recordings (and better camera angles) of their older shows. oh well.

hopefully a kyuss dvd will eventually make it's way to shelves.

Those sounds...a mirror for me.......2007-07-11

Dear Customers,

Thank you for sharing these wonderful arrangements. Cave of the Siddhars. Your music is instantly translated into soul messages. Musical soul massage. I don't know if it was my conscious mind or my unconscious mind but one of them surrendered to the music thanks to the constant didgeridoo in the background. My mind remembered a timeless aspect of itself. Turiya Nada's music that for the first few seconds had sounded extremely exotic fit into the mold of my being, as a result when I combined the music with asana practice I was able to deepen in the poses knowing that I was being "cushioned" by the call of Turiya Nada. The final "Arohara" invocations of the final tracks are perfect for the ending of savasana for me...and I believe for others too.

Thanks,
Nathaniel

that which is, that which we are.......2007-04-10

Cave of the Siddhars is an empowering journey bringing to light these ancient vibrations. Connect on a deep level with the inspiration of the perfected masters. Feel the immense wisdom these vibrations hold and begin to connect with thought as source in every breadth. If you are looking to align a deep spiritual experience this is the music for you as all walks of life.
Blessings

The Truth of Being.......2007-03-30

i remember listening to the cd before going to a healing movement class. the music and chants vibrate the truth of being. i was able to feel grounded with the ability to completely empty out into the silence of the divine. one of my challenges it to keep my feet here while embracing the inner light. this cd is very supportive of the healing journey and wherever i am in the moment. a beautiful merging of primal sounds and pure light. thank you for the gift of this cd!

Enter the magical/mystical realms :).......2007-03-12

Cave of the Siddhars CD entered my life back in May of 2006. Since then I have listened to it every day at least once. The blending of instruments and Nandhi's voice are amazing. Love it !! The resonance and high vibrational energies seem to awaken and stir ancient memories of knowingness within my being. At the same time bringing a sense of immense peace and joy. My cells dance to the vibrations. A CD that can be listened to anytime anywhere. Highly recommended. Dare to enter the magical/mystical realms of the Siddhar Masters and you won't be disappointed :)

A Powerful Journey into the Turiya Nada.......2007-01-11

The wonderful combination of sacred mantras and astonishing music creates a profound inner experience. It is a powerful and amazing journey into the realm of Turiya Nada. I experienced that I was able to reach into a whole new level of awareness by flowing with the sound/light waves.
I was initially curious about how the digeridoo and the many other instruments would work in combination with the mantras, and it works just perfectly - there is always a delicate balance between the music and the chanting. Pure enjoyment all the way...
'The Cave of the Siddhars' really manages to transport awareness to a profound inner state of light and grace. It is a true blessing!

It seems pretty clear that Ronan Tynan has no intention of resting on his laurels. Despite a stunning string of world-dominating, top-selling releases as a member of the much-loved Irish Tenors--not to mention his accomplishments as a champion athlete, an M.D., and a memoirist (see his recently published Halfway Home: My Life 'til Now)--the singer has now released his debut solo effort on Sony Classical. No matter which member of the Irish Tenors happens to be your favorite, My Life Belongs to You is a treat, affording as it does a chance to bask in the deeply expressive, mellifluous voice of Tynan. He has chosen his selections well and is equally poised and tender in classics from Mario Lanza ("Because You're Mine," "I'll Walk with God"), Broadway, and sacred music. What's especially wonderful is the opportunity to hear Tynan's emotionally gripping vocalism from so many angles. The mixing by Frank McNamara gives a lovely old-time feeling to the orchestral playing--a bit like a treasured old sepia photograph. A bonus track of Irving Berlin's "God Bless America" is included. --Sarah Chin

Customer Reviews:

He should have stayed with Irish music........2007-04-04

Ronan Tynon was my favorite of 'The Irish Tenors;' so I was excited when I saw this cd. But, it was a big disappointment. The singing is mechanical; there is no personality, no emotion. The 'bonus track,' an unaccompanied "God Bless America," serves only to accentuate the absence of feeling. He should have stayed with Irish music.

My Life Belongs to You.......2007-03-08

A real sleeper in the Ronan Tynan series. First rate.

Ronan Tynan.......2007-01-10

I assume this is a great cd, since we own 3 Ronan Tynan cd's. This however was a gift for a friend , bought specifically for the song "God Bless America." He did, however rave about it to us, so it must be terrific.

Ronan at his most Emotional.......2005-11-26

This cd "My Life Belongs to You" is Ronan at his greatest. Each song he sings shows the great emotion he has in his voice. Ronan can sing each one of these to me anytime. He has great clarity and emotion as he sings. Love the CD "My Life Belongs to You."

greatest living tenor.......2005-03-22

Ronan Tynan is an amazing vocalist, and an amazing man. I'd never heard of him until, in the 2001 World Series, he sang "God Bless America," at Yankee Stadium. From then on, my husband was hooked. He bought this album as soon as he heard of it, and his culture level, musically speaking, is usually -----. But this is the exception that proves every rule. "my Life Belongs to You," "You'll Never Walk Alone," and above all else "The Holy City," are faves of his. This is easily the best recording of "Holy City," still in print. Nelson Eddy did the original, but sadly, no recording of it is known to exist. if only, lord, if only ... but until then, this is a masterpiece. "Roses of Picardy," is a thousand times better than the jazzed-up version of it Frankie Layne did. who was he kidding? This is a slow, tender ballad, and Tynan brings it off with spectacular flair. There's none like him--and where would we put one if there was?

One of the best!.......2006-02-22

One of the best because there are several titles that have not been used in other publications. It's too bad USA publishers do not consider Nelson Eddy important enough to publish and we have to go to imports! But the imports are great!!

Wonderful Introduction to Nelson.......2004-01-31

This was the first Nelson Eddy CD I owned, and I really listened to it quite exclusively (and continually) for several weeks, (until I started adding other Nelson CDs to my collection!)

Nelson's version of "Sweet Mystery of Life", with a violin and chorus and a harp or two in the background, is very lovely. A few of my other favourites are "Trees", "When I Grow Too Old to Dream", "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning", and "Wanting You", although really they are all wonderful. Most of them are slower songs, very restful, although "Ride, Cossack, Ride", "Tokay", and "Stouthearted Men" are on the more stirring side.

Original hit recordings of actual HITS.......2005-09-28

(FYI: it seems I have the newer 2004 cover which apparently amazon.com is not advertizing here instead of the 2001.)

I haven't yet actually bought many compilation albums, but I've looked through a lot. "Casey Kasem Presents America's Top Ten Hits: 1950s" is 1 of the few that seems to actually get it right. This album features ACTUAL HITS (not fringe 1-weekers that nobody remembers), shocking for any compilation it seems.

And shocking for an oldies album (I've been following '50s-'60s stuff since my high-school days in the '80s) - they are the actual, original recordings that actually hit the chart - rather than some re-tread an aging act did in concert 15 years later or some stylized improvisational spin they tried to be "different".

So, I think I'll be trying Casey Kasem's versions for the other decades. I might actually get 20 songs that were actually hits that I heard on the radio instead of unknown songs and re-recordings made by crackly-voiced old "artistes" trying to be different and sound hip to the fringe elements.

Great album if you're looking for 50's hits.......2005-08-02

My mom has been looking for a 'best of' CD of Fifties music for forever. I finally stumbled across this CD and had her check out the song listings and with her approval I bought it for her for her birthday. She loves it! As stated before, you don't get Elvis, but if you really want Elvis you should buy a whole Elvis CD. When you figure that you get 20 songs for under $16 this CD is a great deal. I only wish there had been more Little Richard but here you only get one song per artist. If you're looking for a best of the fifties CD this is the one to get.

Casey Kasem's chronological countdown of 50's rock 'n' roll.......2003-01-05

The perfect musical anthology for any given year or decade in rock music history is an impossible dream. This is simply because of the copyright limitations that Casey Kasem or anybody else faces in putting together such a collection: how can you do anything serious on the Sixties without the Beatles? Consequently, with "America's Top 10 Through the Years: The 50's" the obvious glaring omission is Elvis (Of course, even if you have Elvis, what song do you pick? But that is another question for another day).

That being said, Kasem has provided exactly what you would expect from the man that has been counting them down almost from the beginning: a first rate collection covering the artists and songs that defined rock 'n' roll in the decade of the 1950s. Yes, the countdown should have begun with Bill Haley & His Comets' "Rock Around the Clock" (even though Kasem's chronological order makes sense) but here is Buddy Holly, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Richie Valen, and Jerry Lee Lewis. Here are the harmonies of the Everly Brothers singing "Wake Up Little Susie," Carl Perkins playing guitar on his classic "Blue Suede Shoes," and the get down saxophone of "Yakety Yak" and "Tequila." We start with the relative innocence of "Splish Splash" and "Rockin' Robin" but when we get to "Great Balls of Fire" you know Top 10 music has changed forever. With 20 classic tracks you should be able to find the requisite five (or more) tracks to add to your music library. Even with the inherent limitations facing him, Kasem has put together a first-rate musical anthology for the first decade of rock 'n' roll.
