Reviews
"Very few albums I feel this way about, one of the others would be Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" Albums such as these never grow old but stand the test of time. These are the same albums in the box sets, but you will have to make up your own minds to see if all the extra goodies from the deluxe box sets are worth it. As for me, I see myself possibly getting "Physical Graffiti" when it's released & possibly "Houses of the Holy" but I'm going to have to let most of these (sadly) go by the wayside."
"Jimmy Page is an absolute genius and this box set is a must have!"
"Just take good times bad times: bonham's triplet bass drum patterns are very clear and crisp underneath Page's solo."
"It's Jimmy Page ReMastering their debut album and adding previously un released material."
"An English rock band's interpretation of American blues - I love it."
"I really liked the packaging, front side looks like the original cover, while the back side is a negative image which works well for me. All five packages are done with the original cover on the front, with a negative image of the cover on the back...love it!!"
"John Bonham, the best rock drummer ever."
"Classic heavy rock sound-a-philes all know where ground zero for this type of music is...This album along with albums by Cream, Blue Cheer, The Move, and Jeff Beck Group were among the first wave of this blues based heavy rock thing that blew up."

Reviews
"great sound and lp cover excellent."
"The first album feels like the one that captured a magic energy from the band that I continue to be impressed by no matter I hear it, and III is my favorite album by the band. There are songs on the release that are essential Zeppelin, and you can feel the band hitting bigger and better creative streaks as they start to finesse their sound."
"I had this album on vinyl, bought it back when it was first released."
"I have an original pressing but want to preserve it so I picked this one up for general listening."
"If you don't own this album, then you are not a rock fan."
"I got this for my boyfriend as a gift and he opens this and the edges of the record are all chewed up and missing chunks.. fortunately the record still plays properly but very disappoined that its damaged.. arrived in packaging and the album cover were both free of damage so this was not a shipping problem."
"Skips- disappointed."

Best Country Rock

Eagles: The Very Best Of
Hit singles large and medium are here, often ("One of These Nights," "Hotel California") still sounding definitive and even tough.
Reviews
"Disc one is labeled as disc 1 and has disc 2 songs and disc 2 is labeled disc 2 and has disc 2 songs."
"We love these guys...old now, and we still love to hear them!"
"This 2 CD set was bought as a present for some friends up North simply because it is the GREATEST collection of songs by the Eagles that I have EVER run across, bar none."
"So many greatest hits albums leave out important hits, probably to make sure you buy more albums to get 'THE' collection of all the band's hits."
"A classic!"
"This is the ultimate boxed set -right up there with Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd."
"I think one can do no better then this two Cd package as i can find no reason not to give this collection a thumbs up.."
"I was excited to see this 2-CD album for such a reasonable price, but I was even more excited to hear the sound quality and professional production."

Best Progressive Rock Music

The Platinum Collection: Greatest Hits I, II & III
Includes Bohemian Rhapsody; Killer Queen; We Are the Champions; We Will Rock You; Crazy Little Thing Called Love; Another One Bites the Dust; Under Pressure (original and Rah mix); You're My Best Friend; Fat Bottomed Girls , and more. While it eschews the glammy, pre-punk hard rock of live faves like "Stone Cold Crazy" and "Tie Your Mother Down" for the band's more quirky club-beat string of latter-day hits, this 51-track triple-CD anthology goes a long way toward documenting the true dimensions of the band's music and fame.
Reviews
"If you're a Queen or Freddie Mercury fan this is it."
"Who doesn't love Queen."
"I had enjoyed it in the 80's and 90's but had not listened to the music of Queen in a couple of decades."
"I really shouldn't need to say why I voted 5 stars."
"Compact Disc isn't Freddy Singing it more of Elton John and done more in a DJ style."
"I would have given it 5 stars without hesitation, except that one of my all time favorites "Somebody To Love" skips - so I have to go back to "A Day At The Races" for that."
"we love this cd sooooo much thank-you."
"This compilation of CDs is exactly what queen fans should get if they want a physical copy of their greatest work."

Best Directory Servers

ACRONIS True Image 8.0 Standard ( Windows )
The server disk backup file includes all the server disk data including system, programs, databases, and the like. After a system crash, Acronis True Image ES allows administrators to perform a full system restore, a bare-metal server restore or just restore of data bases, files, and folders in minutes.
Reviews
"Created a Windows 98SE image without problems; performed a test restore without problems."
"After the latest crash in July '05, I learned that my previous backup product, Dantz Retrospect 6.5, which is packaged with the Maxtor One Touch USB drives, doesn't really take a "perfect" copy of your hard disk...you can't just copy over all the files on your USB drive to your PC's new hard disk and think it's all going to work as good as new. Anyway, for my next crash, I just want to be able to create a perfect copy of my hard disk and be able to copy that image to the new disk. A monkey could duplicate an image of his hard disk onto another drive. The emergency disk option creates a Linux-based "emergency boot disk" on CD so you will be able to start your PC with a blank hard disk and access the file you created on your external USB drive. I have NOT restored the backup yet, but I'm going to test it: I'm going to boot up with the emergency CD, then I'll restore the backup from the DVD's to my USB external hard disk. If it doesn't work, I'll report back here, and then I'll give up and go back to Dantz Retrospect and use their actual Backup option (not duplicate) to create a copy to DVD...at least you don't have to use DVD-RW or format the DVD's with their product."
"My Acronis backup "Image" was saved on a second system drive but it will also see USB drives, connected externally to the computer, where I have a 2nd backup also. I highly suggest you do a nightly incremental Image addition of each days work as they suggest, which I didn't so I lost one day of my work since the last Image backup... lucky me I'd Imaged the day before! Apparently one of the latest XP updates made my Acronis quit working so I've switched to Apple/Mac since I could never get the XP backup to work reliably either."
"When I have to do a full system recovery, I have to run the HP discs, then download and install several HP patches AND nearly a hundred Windows updates. At this point I install SP2, several more Windows updates and THEN I can install my Media Center 2005 upgrade, and another pile of Windows updates."
"I posted a "highly technical" PROPER install/run procedure, in my Acronis 9.0 review."
"I've had this product for some time now and I cannot make a good image."

Reviews
"I have Elton John's hits but you need to listen to his other music to get a real feel of his talent."
"Finally, the "revisited" versions from current day artists are a nice tribute to Elton, although I'll admit I probably won't listen to them again."
"Well, the SACD sounds much better than the standard CD."
"Great CD!"
"There's some good stuff here, with "Funeral for a Friend", "Candle in the Wind" and "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' being my favorites."
"I am assuming that the version with the bonus DVD (which I really wanted) is no longer in stock but Amazon never asked me, never checked to see if I would accept the substitute, they just the 30th anniversary CDs with no bonus DVD."
"If you already have the previous remastered version and don't want to hear extra songs like the live performances, then you can skip this version."
"Can see why this is one the best music albums out there!"

Eric Burdon and the Animals, Jim Morrison and the Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Sweetwater, Fleetwood Mac, Creedance Clearwater and Jerry Riopelle to name a few (I already had all of Led Zeppelin, the Beatles and the Stones).."
"Out of the box there was a small spot of some chemical or another on the first track of side b that caused an audible click every lap."

"The Album is Zeppelin in all it's early blues rock glory but if you previously owned this album, you already knew that."
