I Wanna Be Loved By You - #624

Monroe, Marilyn

1994 Golden Stars 1/1/94

Wonderful Marilyn, Wonderful 50's musical music.  The star often sang the title songs, here she does that and wows us all again.

Purchased: 3/1/99 - Coconuts $3.99

Rated: 4

Marilyn Monroe, Grand Ecran I - #155

Monroe, Marilyn

1988 Bella Musica 1/1/88

Norma Jean!  Her personality and charisma come through on this one.  Good to have for anyone that loves Marilyn and loves her movies.  She has less of a reputation as a singer than she should have.  Talent here is deep.

Days Of Future Passed - #87

Moody Blues, The

1967 Deram 1/1/67

the best all the Moody albums, Knights in White Satin became an anthem in a rock and roll wilderness during the 60's.  The song has been recorded over and over and over again but these guys wrote it and they do it best.  The theme here starts with an intro of the song in a prelude and then ends with the full song as coda.  You do not want this album to end

Seventh Sojourn  - #496

Moody Blues, The

1972 Threshold 1/1/72

Doing what they do well.  It's their standard stuff but this is a technically poor transition to CD.  It would be a 4 otherwise. Rock & Roll Band is a rock classic

Purchased: 7/1/96 - J&R $7.99

Rated: 3

To Our Children's Children's Children - #90

Moody Blues, The

1969 Threshold 1/1/69

Another one of the Moody's wonderful expression in rock and roll.  Thoughtful as all are but not the very best but at least very good.

Rated: 4

Jagged Little Pill - #579

Morissette, Alanis

1995 Maverick 6/13/95

I remember the moment I head the first single cut "Hand In My Pocket", the sound is that original.  I was driving a rental car toward Scottsdale Arizona, on McDowell, in July 1995 This is one album that hits you over the head.  A landmark sound, vulgarity and all.  This music is as gripping as the first time I head "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones.  Most of these songs were released as singles.  Song 13 is a cappella and not listed on the album notes.

MTV Unplugged - #697

Morissette, Alanis

1999 Maverick - Warner Bros 11/9/99

This is the way I like to hear an artist.  Unembellished and real.  Songs with soul and little editing, an artist singing their heart out.  A very good album.

Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie - #604

Morissette, Alanis

1998 Maverick Reprise 11/3/98

Alanis Morisette does it again, writes, sings and makes us wonder how she can do this stuff so well.  I'm only on song 3 of this album but it seems every bit as good as "Jagged Little Pill".  It is as every bit as good as Jagged Little Pill.  This woman’s voice, her sensibility, and the rock music that supports these qualities, grabs me with a hook around the neck, pulls me in and won’t let go.  Her sound swims in my head as I go about my day to day. None of it rhymes, maybe that it is why critics don’t like her music.  TH

Moondance - #509

Morrison, Van

1970 Warner Bros 1/1/70

A rock and roll classic that is really jazz.  The voice is novel - sometimes it is wonderful and sometimes it seems to get on you nerves.

Purchased: 9/15/97 - Columbia House

Rated: 5
