Pink Floyd - The Wall (1979)
The Wall is Pink Floyd’s, or better said, Roger Water’s overpompous, pretentious double album. A rockopera in the true sense of the word, since it has a storyline, imagery, and overarching musical theme. It became Pink Floyd’s most recognasible albums over history, along with The Dark Side of The …

Saturday’s Warrior - Original Cast CD

Gorillaz, 2001 Album by Gorillaz

I was about twelve when I …
Reba McEntire: Greatest Hits, Volume Two CD

Santogold L.E.S. Artistes
