Amazon.com The problem with a compilation disc dubbed Superstars is always the same: Who gets to decide which acts qualify for superstar status? Certainly, Sir Paul McCartney fits the bill. So do Eric Clapton, Tony Bennett, and Paul Simon, all of whom are featured singing familiar tunes ("We Can Work It Out" for McCartney, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" for Bennett, "Late in the Evening" for Simon). On the other hand, who doesn't think Hall & Oates lost that title long ago and far away in the '80s? When did either Squeeze or the dreaded Bryan Adams even come close? And who (at this point in time) would classify Hootie & the Blowfish as superstars, rather than one-album wonders? But they're all on board in this uneven collection, culled from the MTV Unplugged series that was cutting edge about a decade ago. While the DVD features artist profiles and discographies, the added feature of artist interviews usually consists of a single answer to a single question--and doesn't include any face time with McCartney. --Marshall Fine From the Back Cover MTV Unplugged isn't just a sound--it's a legend. Some of music's biggest superstars have cut the cords and gone acoustic in front of an intimate studio audience to prove that you don't need electricity to rock. The best of the best is gathered here in this collection dedicated to bringing you the most unique sound to homes across the world. You'll never listen to your favorite songs the same way again.
