It's a junky compilation. Is emusic just for jazzers? Because I've been trying to get my funk and rock on, but there's nothing, NOTHING. And when I see something good, it's just for "paid subscribers." Thanks.
totally disagree with 'vonplock?' about emusic. I've been a member for about 2 months now, and i've found a lot of good stuff that i can't get on itunes. This album ain't all bad either. Stick in emusic, little acorns!
Yep, at first I thought I just wasn't looking in the right places but after thourough investagation, I didn't find anything decent here, waste of time and money!!!
This is an eclectic mix of also-ran artists...maybe some nuggets in there, but I'm looking for meat and potatoes mainstream artists, not sushie. A disappointment.
They don't have much of the mainstream nor the fringe artists here. My tastes are pretty broad, but I can hardly find jack here. My giftcard will more than cover what little of interest is here - won't waste any money subscribing. And to the person who said this is the fault of the big 4 record companys -- nope, not their fault e-music went into business with a poor selection.
I don't know exactly what to say. I mean...so far I have found maybe three songs that sound normal...? emusic is shit. I can't find anything that isn't lame. I can't believe anyone wastes money here. Good thing this is a free trial. If you're reading this, please believe me, believe anything else you read when they tell you how terrible this is! I'd consider an alternative music site. I've wasted about 10 of my free downloads not knowing they were SHIT!! No wonder they give away 50 free songs. I am very unsatisfied. And for anyone who likes all this, shame on you.
Everybody knows Motown was great, but few realize what an incubator the entire City of Detroit was for soul music in its heyday. For each artist on Berry Gordy’s label there were several more just as good who went with another major, or with a smaller, local indie. Some made their names in r&b, vocal groups or gospel before evolving into soul; others started in soul but had their greatest impact in funk. But even… more »

While the legendary voices of such jazz icons as Billie, Ella and Sarah still ring true, subsequent generations of female jazz vocalists have taken the music in new directions, especially in the '90s, ranging from Cassandra Wilson's new-standard caress to Diana Krall's classics with a twist. Taking their lead, young singers over the last decade have been swinging the vocal tradition onto a new plateau with a pop sensibility. In the mix are tunes by… more »

Nirvana and Pearl Jam. This is who you'll hear about when the topic of Seattle's music scene is brought up in a historical context. It makes sense. Alternative music has always been the face of the Seattle scene. But before Kurt and Eddie, there was Ray and Quincy and Jimi. Seattle has soul, and the hip-hop community in the 206 is the living proof. They love their hometown and the music reflects that. "Townfolk Hip-Hop"… more »

After Elvis went into the Army and before the British Invasion, the years 1958-63 were rock's forgotten years. But they were the years that shaped the musical tastes of baby boomers and of acts from the Beatles and Rolling Stones to Bruce Springsteen and the Ramones. Hear the dance sensations, the one-hit-wonders, the girl groups and doo-wop singers, surfers and rockabilly twangers, the birth of Motown, the evolution of R&B into soul and so much… more »
