Pretty Disappointing
For me, though, the CD has been a great disappointment. I thought I'd give this recording a go after recognizing a few titles and reading a few reviews. Lightweight, silly and trite, most songs seem juvenile lyrically and facile musically. Obviously he spoke/speaks to a large number of people, but I guess I'm just not one of them. .
Fooled by Randomness
So far, I am very pleased with Fooled by Randomness and like Tolstoy said he couldn't get enough of the man [Schopenhauer], I can't get enough of Nassim Taleb. Fooled by Randomness by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
After being impressed with Taleb's most recent book, The Black Swan, I decided to read his first book published two years earlier. Like Howard Cosell, this guy tells it like it is. .
GREAT MOVIE MUSIC CD
RECOMMEND TO OTHER BUYERS. THIS CD IS A VERY NICE REMINDER OF THE MOVIES THAT IT MATCHES.
.
Catchy tunes, grammatically (musically) correct
I played the CD for the first time for the benefits of my classically trained husband who, to my surprise, loved Nilsson's compositions, the catchy melody of many of the songs, especially "The Puppy Song",and "I guess the Lord Must be In New York City,just to name two. As a Nillson's fan since the late 60's I totally love every single song in this album. He even recognized some of the songs in this CD from some shows on TV and movies. A big surprise to a rock-and-roll virgin to discover the beauty of Nilsson's music.
Harry Nillson in his short life was a totally under appreciated musician and singer and perhaps, now posthumously he would receive the kudos that he deserved.
Add this CD to your collection of Nilsson albums, please.
Harry Nilsson - Greatest Hits
I purchased it because I had been looking for a certain song of his and upon review of this CD I saw it was on there. Just recently I purchased "Harry Nilsson - Greatest Hits". Back when I was in Jr. High School a movie came out, "Son of Dracula". Myself and a couple of friends went to see it at the local movie theatre. Well I just fell in love with the title song, "Daybreak". Unfortunately I could never find it until just recently. I had always looked for Harry Nilsson records/CD's in the local music stores but didn't have any luck finding what I wanted. Then a friend told me about Amazon. com. I launched a search and was very pleased at what I saw. I purchased this CD of his and after listening to it a few times I have to say I think it's good and well worth the money. I am only sorry I didn't know about this site before now. I will be purchasing more CD's and DVD's now that I know where to look first!.
