  Cher Scholar: The Cher Zine/The Soul of Cher
Many were unjustly prejudiced against Cher, the TV Star, and others who gave Cher the benefit of the doubt still managed to miss the point of the album entirely.
And “Stars” which was penned by Janis Ian (of the tragic ballad Seventeen) for her 1974 LP also entitled Stars.
I agree and feel certain that each time Stars is revisited, praise will emerge concerning not only the quality of Cher’s voice (another essay in itself) but also the interpretations she gave to the music on the record and the value of this album against the rest of her comparatively large catalogue of albums.

 Amazon.com: Set Yourself on Fire: Music: Stars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
This album is not as quirkily original as Arcade Fire, but is more immediately accessible, and like "Funeral" this set shares an offbeat sensibility that keeps it out of the mainstream pop radar.
I decided to pick up their latest album as the kid at the t-shirt stand told me 75% of the set list was from it.
The bass in Stars is almost a melodic instrument: it is every bit as much a part of the core sound of the band.

 Janis Ian : Stars - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
She has publicly acknowledged that the introspective title track which opens the album was inspired by Don McLean's "Vincent".
Ian's reflections are almost naked in their intimacy as she looks within the psyche of celebrity and draws comparisons between the respective astral and physical bodies that "Stars" inhabit, albeit briefly in either case.
Stars set the stage for Ian to further develop her mature and meditative themes utilising a wide variety of musical styles -- a hallmark which separated her from her weepy and otherwise introspective peers.

Now, for those of you who are curious as to what vibe this album is on (and those of you who just happen to be album-title illiterate), let me break it down.
Stars is another guilty pleasure pop band - you'll either love it or hate it.
Millan is just extraordinary (after this album came out movie producers started giving her jobs, if that tells you anything), and even though the male vocalist pales in comparison he's not that bad.

 Plastiscene - Seeing Stars | Album Review @ Music-Critic.com : the source for music reviews, interviews, articles, and ...
Seeing Stars is the first full-length album from Plastiscene - they previously released a self-titled EP in 1997 which received quite a bit of play on college radio stations.
Others such as "Lemon Yellow" (which was featured on the BASEketball soundtrack) delve into the past while holding a firm grip on the present, all to make up what is a possible musical future.
The use of the Hammond B-3 is quite pronounced, and it gives the album an undergound, laid back groove feel.

 Stars album a sweet, sexual Canadian import
Stars (no "the," thankyouverymuch) is Montreal-based, and at the risk of sounding really derivative and repeating exactly what the New York Times and Spin have already said, and probably more eloquently: Montreal is where it's at.
Usually, Stars uses its mixed-gender vocal chords for dulcet, New Pornographers-esque harmonies ("Ageless Beauty" and a bunch of others), but sometimes, like on opening number "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead," Stars channel Mates of State with the dueling dialogue and call-and-response verses.
The album, which cheekily disobeys its downbeat title and apocalyptic opening lines, strays from any of that drifting, scarred despair, preferring to impart listeners with gentle resilience, all-consuming beauty and some killer pop tunes to boot.

 Simply Red : Stars - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
That is a good thing, too, since Stars is the first Simply Red album not to contain any cover songs.
Having absorbed his pop, soul, and reggae influences, Hucknall is now successfully writing songs in his own style, something that, with the exception of "Holding Back the Years," he hadn't managed previously.
In America, where the band had never established much audience continuity beyond its two number one hit singles, it was a different story, which, given the band's highly American-influenced sound, was a confirmation of the overall decline of English bands in the U.S. in the early '90s.

Thus is a compilation album seems to feature mainly songs found on early Hep Stars singles, that were not necessarily released on the Hep Stars studio albums..All of the songs were later released on CD...This album would have more sense had it been released in 1965 0r 1966..

 Different Stars, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
Those who are familiar with Trespassers William's delightful pop melodies might already own Different Stars, but for those who don't, the Nettwerk version includes slightly different artwork, one brand new song, and a bonus track; a live version of "Different Stars" from KCRW.
From the lovelorn ballads such as "Lie in the Sound" and "Let You Down" to the sparse twang of "Alone," Different Stars maintains a quiet atmosphere with slow-changing moods and textures.
Different Stars isn't wildly creative, however it fits among the indie rock/indie pop pack of 2004.

Historic live album starring Levon Helm and the RCO All-Stars recorded live at the Palladium in New York City on New Years Eve 1977/1978.
The album features over one hour of live tracks by a star studded cast of musicians playing to the excitement of a New Years Eve crowd in the greatest city in the world.
This is a must-have album, superb performances with the drums loud and to the fore, wonderful horn arrangements, a great "Ophelia" and the opening track "Ain't That A Lot of Love" is way better than the rather weak rendition by The Band on Islands.

 DVD Verdict Review - Classic Albums: Simply Red: Stars
This 1991 album from Simply Red dominated record sales in the band's native England, trouncing such mighty competition as U2 and Michael Jackson and ultimately becoming one of the all-time top sellers in English musical history.
After watching Simply Red: Stars I have a much better understanding of what made this band such an unusual phenomenon, as well as how their unique sound came to be.
It's a terrific introduction to the group for fans who only know them from their hit singles, and it offers lots of fun inside dirt even for music lovers who are longtime followers of Hucknall and his music.

 Equatorial Stars by Robert Fripp CD
Nevertheless, they broke further ground by creating some of the earliest examples of ambient music over the course of two classic mid-'70s albums.
Some three decades down the line, after the music world had long been irrevocably altered by their inventions, the pair reconvened for THE EQUATORIAL STARS.
Though occasionally bearing a darker undercurrent than most contemporaneous ambient recordings, EQUATORIAL STARS is as lush and transporting as anything you're likely to hear.

 The Wonder Stuff - Suspended By Stars : album review
It only seems right that The Wonder Stuff should be celebrating their 20th anniversary and still be recording, for it's starting to become clear exactly how influential they were as echoes of their sound can be heard today in Kaiser Chiefs and Arctic Monkeys.
Say It Ain't So is possibly the best track on the album, harking back to old school Stuffies with Hunt's acerbic lyrics taking centre stage: "To all the bleeding hearts and their walk on parts, I had yer number from the start".
Forget the so-called 80s Revival, Suspended By Stars is the sound of a band very much at home in today's musical climate.
