And while the world will always know them best for their first two... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~400690941572 Tue, 14 Aug 2007 16:19:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_400690941572?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_384131763844?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - I have to admit, I'm a bit of a newbie to the Mamas & the Papas. It seems strange, seeing how my two favorite genres of music are late 60s-early 70s classic rock and straight-up pop. The Mamas & the Papas are a band that fulfill both of those... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~384131763844 Sat, 30 Jun 2007 14:15:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_384131763844?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_308588875396?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - You know, I've got to hand it to Nelly Furtado. Before, I felt bad for her. And I mean bad. This poor girl releases a 1999 single made for radio play (I'm Like a Bird), and subsequently releases an album void of anything radio friendly... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~308588875396 Sat, 20 Jan 2007 03:54:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_308588875396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_304949661316?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - In March, I'll turn 21 years old. But in 1999, when Christina Aguilera dropped her debut eponymous album, I was a mere 13 years old. And while her bubblegum pop days weren't my personal favorite, I was sold on her vocal talent by the time her third... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~304949661316 Fri, 12 Jan 2007 00:47:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_304949661316?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223093624452?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - I will never forget the first time I heard All Things Must Pass. My boyfriend and I were living in our car, and we played it on a Discman connected to the radio. It really was the best of times and the worst of times. While I loved the nomadic freedom... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223093624452 Fri, 10 Mar 2006 17:25:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223093624452?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_219737919108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - It's 2006. I can't freaking believe it. After all, I'll be turning 20 in a month. I can't believe it was 13 years ago my parents divorced, 9 years ago I entered junior high. But the most surreal of them all: it's been 10 years since five... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~219737919108 Fri, 3 Feb 2006 20:14:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_219737919108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_176570863236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - The Spice Girls were an interesting phenomenon. They came at just the time when we needed them, and left when we no longer did. For those who don't know the history, the Spice Girls consisted of five girls with somewhat limited talent: Victoria... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~176570863236 Mon, 14 Mar 2005 07:40:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_176570863236?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_176484748932?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - There was a time I was listening to the song Purple Rain on a road trip with a few friends, singing along at the top of my lungs, when one of the more musically challenged of them asked me "Is there anything that could make you stop loving that little... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~176484748932 Sun, 13 Mar 2005 12:08:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_176484748932?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_167071485572?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - Is there really anything better than a really good greatest hits collection? When you combine a great artist, fantastic packaging, and just the right mix of songs, often times a greatest hits album can be better than any actual albums an artist... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~167071485572 Mon, 27 Dec 2004 18:45:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_167071485572?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_165636050564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - As if I have not made it evident in most of my reviews, I strongly believe in the sophomore album curse. How could I not? It's make or break time. Your entire career is riding on this album. You just can't disappoint! If you produce a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~165636050564 Thu, 16 Dec 2004 08:04:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_165636050564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_165034888836?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - Don't you hate being young? Okay, well, no, I don't hate being young. But there was a time back in the day when I was so proud of my under educated opinions. Or in our case, epinions. Looking back to the year 2000, it's clear to me that my 14-year-old... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~165034888836 Sat, 11 Dec 2004 20:42:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_165034888836?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_163542175364?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - It must be hard to be on American Idol. Especially if you win, and especially if you win first. You basically have to set the blueprint for what the other winners are going to do, and the pressure is on. Thus is the case with Kelly Clarkson. As we all... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~163542175364 Tue, 30 Nov 2004 15:55:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_163542175364?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_163393015428?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - People are cruel to Let It Be. I don't really understand it, to be honest with you. I have heard Let It Be called the worst album of the Beatles career, and even once that it was the worst album of the era. Needless to say, it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~163393015428 Mon, 29 Nov 2004 17:19:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_163393015428?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_152008756868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - The times are dark for pop music. I believe I can speak for fellow pop-enthusiasts in saying we are ashamed of our genre. We have dumb blondes (and their sisters) and well... Usher, dominating our charts. It's quite sad really. I can't tell you what's... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~152008756868 Tue, 17 Aug 2004 00:03:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_152008756868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_137212104324?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - Mr. Tarantino, Hey, Q. How goes it? I'm okay. Perhaps an introduction is an order. My name is Jessi Coplin and I am one of your biggest fans. For some reason, I have a feeling you are unconvinced. Perhaps it's my two star rating that I gave your... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~137212104324 Sun, 18 Apr 2004 18:10:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_137212104324?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_132461203076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - The Beatles are the greatest band ever. Even those who aren't fans of their music (all 3 people on the planet) admit that the Fab Four had more musical impact than any other four people on Earth. And in all truth, the Beatles may in fact be bigger... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~132461203076 Sun, 7 Mar 2004 23:02:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_132461203076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_132442787460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - You may find it cruel that I say this, but I have to be honest: I never saw the big deal about Aaliyah. I never thought her voice was that big of a phenomenon, and considering she didn't write any of her own songs, she just seemed like a voice to put to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~132442787460 Sun, 7 Mar 2004 18:59:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_132442787460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_131824062084?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - There's something about girl groups, isn't there? You've always got the same thing going with each one. First off, there's usually a star in the group. (Diana Ross in the Supremes, for example.) Girl groups notoriously bicker and member changes are... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~131824062084 Tue, 2 Mar 2004 19:04:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_131824062084?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_131508309636?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - I haven't made it as glaringly obvious as I could, but I am a Beatlemaniac. I'm listening to them now, actually. But, anyway, I am obsessed. The Fab Four have been all over the media recently, celebrating their 40th anniversary on the Ed Sullivan show... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~131508309636 Sat, 28 Feb 2004 08:21:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_131508309636?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_129644662404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - Have you ever seen that show on E! called "It's Good To Be..."? I'm sure they did Madonna once, but I don't watch the trash. Anyway, I have to disagree that it's good to be Madonna. Sure, sure, the money must be great, but imagine this if you will: you... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~129644662404 Fri, 13 Feb 2004 10:00:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_129644662404?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_129642303108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - Making a terrific album sucks. Okay, okay, on one hand, you get tons of critical praise. You probably win a few awards. And you make a lot more money off of record sales. But these artists never look to the future. They never think about "How am I going... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~129642303108 Fri, 13 Feb 2004 09:01:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_129642303108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_129461358212?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - To begin this review, I'd like to let you know that it's very difficult for me. I've written 6 Mandatory Madonna reviews already and it's been fairly easy to do. But I think Ray Of Light is a tough beast to conquer. Madonna released... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~129461358212 Wed, 11 Feb 2004 17:56:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_129461358212?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_129208651396?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - There comes a time in every artist's career where they have to complete reinvent themselves. People may have gotten tired of their old, familiar image, so it's time to spice things up a little. But in most cases, they've got damage control to do from a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~129208651396 Mon, 9 Feb 2004 16:52:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_129208651396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_129058180740?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - The music industry is a strange, strange thing. I've been an avid obsessee with it for many years now, and there's some things I've yet to understand. Long ago it was determined that sex sells records. We've seen this proven with the likes of Britney... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~129058180740 Sun, 8 Feb 2004 08:27:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_129058180740?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_128915902084?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LindsayBW - It's all too often that an artist is contrived. You can't really blame them though. They start out with a formula that works, and follow that formula for an album or two until everyone tires of it and they have to try something new. They usually then... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~128915902084 Fri, 6 Feb 2004 23:33:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_128915902084?linkin_id=8003929
