Finally
Artist: Ce Ce Peniston
Community Score: 8.00

This was the debut album from the former Miss Black Arizona. There is much invigoration within this album. Cece Penniston's vocal versatility from rich, full deliveries on "We Got a Love Thang" to her compassionate intonation on the ballad "Inside That I Cried." This outstanding album spawned five superb singles. The title track "Finally" and... Read More

Hits Collection
Artist: Prince
Greatest Video Hits
Artist: Kylie Minogue
Stars - JAPAN IMPORT BONUS CD
Artist: Simply Red

Although it didn't have a single as strong as "Holding Back the Years" or "If You Don't Know Me By Now," Stars was Simply Red's best album since its debut. It was smoother and more polished than their previous work, while Mick Hucknall was singing better than ever and his songwriting was improving. [Stars is also available in an import release,...

Design of a Decade: 1986-1996
Artist: Janet Jackson
Community Score: 6.19

Design of a Decade: 1986-1996 is a misleading title. The bulk of Janet Jackson's greatest-hits collection concentrates on Control and Rhythm Nation 1814, simply by contractual necessity. That is far from a fatal flaw. The hits from those two albums were state-of-the-art dance-pop productions at the time of their release, filled with bottomless... Read More

Bedtime Stories
Artist: Madonna
Community Score: 7.12

Perhaps Madonna correctly guessed that the public overdosed on the raw carnality of her book Sex. Perhaps she wanted to offer a more optimistic take on sex than the distant Erotica. Either way, Bedtime Stories is a warm album, with deep, gently pulsating grooves; the album's title isn't totally tongue-in-cheek. The best songs on the album... Read More

Greatest Hits
Artist: Kylie Minogue

An excellent overview of the first half of Minogue's career, this 1994 collection is the place to start. Lifting the singles and better album tracks from her first four albums, this is chock-full of the light dance-pop that made Minogue one of the biggest European pop stars of the late '80s/early '90s. With tracks like "Loco-Motion," "Better the... Read More

Seal
Artist: Seal
Community Score: 7.83

Fresh from his 1991 self-titled debut, Seal followed with another self-titled release. And true to form, it's another stunning work, although it becomes clear that a musical maturation has taken place. Produced by ex-Buggles frontman Trevor Horn (Pet Shop Boys, ABC, Yes, Frankie Goes to Hollywood), Seal is far more enchanting than his debut.... Read More

Emergency on Planet Earth
Artist: Jamiroquai
Community Score: 7.63

Jamiroquai made a large initial splash in 1993 with Emergency on Planet Earth, a psychedelic melange of tight funky rhythms, acid rock intimations, and '70s soul melodies. Frontman Jay Kay introduces himself with an environmentally oriented manifesto inside the sleeve, and his lyrics smack of idealist save the planet revolution. But this... Read More

Very
Artist: Pet Shop Boys
Community Score: 8.82

Because they work in a field that isn't usually taken seriously, the Pet Shop Boys are often ignored in the rock world. But make no mistake -- they are one of the most talented pop outfits working today, witty and melodic with a fine sense of flair. Very is one of their very best records, expertly weaving between the tongue-in-cheek humor of "I... Read More
