![Amazing Journey: The Story of the Who [CD]](https://bestbuy.ugc.bazaarvoice.com/profiles/3545a/static/noimage70.gif)
Posted by: SpenceK
This is essentially a best buy exclusive greatest hits which spans the who's entire career. DOn't write if off, for it has a track from the famed Live at Leeds, plus one of the who's earliest singles. This mixed with some of their most famous tracks (baba o' riley, i can see for miles, my generation) provides for a unique listening expierience. As an added bonus, and the main draw-this cd features the live version of won't get fooled again from the concert for september 11th. This has been named one of the who's best performances, and truly is a powerhouse.
If you don't have any of these tracks, buy this cd!!! It's only 3.99!!!!!
EMMINENCE FRONT IT'S A PUT ON!

![Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb [Special Edition] [1964]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/ae5f0717-aaa4-4341-bce4-f3ecc5ad878a.jpg)

This is the funniest film ever made. Peter Sellers at his peak, with the most biting satire ever devised. This comes from the minds of co-writers Stanley Kubrick and Terry Southern. The plot is as follows in a nutshell: General Jack D. Ripper goes mad and orders his planes to go attack Russia. The rest of the film consists of the rest of the world trying to prevent this occurance. The film only has three locations: Ripper's office, the cockpit of a B-52, and the War Room. To put it simply this film is a comedy about "nuculur combat toe to toe with the Ruuskies." Every viewing gives a new aspect to the film. Although Peter Sellers is brilliant, every other character is flawless: George C. Scott walks away with the film, as manly General Turgidson. Filled to brim with taut direction, Dr. Strangelove is not only a comedic masterpiece, it is a master enjoying himself creating a masterwork of art.
Note: This is the edition to get. i cannot stress this enough. This DVD has Kubrick's approved alternating transfer that switches between 1.33:1 and 1.66:1. The new "restored anniversary edition" has a 1.66:1 transfer that crops the top and bottom of the frame completely off. I've compared the two, and the only good thing about the new edition is a few bonus features. This edition has plenty though. And it has a much better price with Kubrick's true vision of the film.

What's great about it: One of the best from the Master
What's not so great: Cons? Apalling lack of bodily fluids....

this is R.E.M.'s 4th studio album and contains some of their best tracks from the I.R.S. independent days. The album is hard, with a few slow songs and tongue in cheek moments to flesh it out. The album gets off with Begin the Begin which should excite any R.E.M. listener. This continues for the entire record, even for the slow songs. Michael stipe's voice really comes into its own here, as this is the first album that his famed "murmur" is less overbearing. The track underneath the Bunker is a short fun instrumental that evokes the later New orleans Instrumental from Automatic For the People. Just a sheer pleasure to listen to.
What's great about it: Pure Independent Alt-rock
What's not so great: NONE!
