While I support the HRC, and would not want them to lose money to illegal copies of this album, it would be nice if I could at least load the music to my ipod. That is the only way I really listen to music anymore (who hauls around the CDs?). They have decided to put copy "protection" on this so you can not convert this to MP3 or any other format.

I am really disappointed as I probably won't listen to this much now. Just be aware of this. I wouldn't have purchased it if I had know.

This two-disc compilation truly Rocks! It contains familiar and many new modern rock tunes that involve love as a common theme, but is definitely not mushy or cheesy. A bonus is that it is a benefit album for the Human Rights Campain!

Whoever sequenced this album is a genius, and the energy coming from the contribution of the artist and the assembly...

Everything from Aguilerra's BEAUTIFUL to Keaton Simons'

CURRENTLY...It's truly all magnificent. So rich. This album does its part to reverse the sad direction we seem to have taken in recent times - Helps us find our way back.

i came across this album on the recommendation of a friend and after listening to it the first time i couldn't take it out of my home stereo. it's great to know that artists like the Dixie Chicks, Dolly Parton, Christina Aguliera, Melissa Etheridge, Pink, Oleta Adams, Mandy Moore and so many others, use their talents to support such a great cause. each song speaks of love and reinforces the theme that "love rocks."

one friend had difficulty loading it to his ipod, however a simple call to the record label that produced the cd (centaur music - 888 923 6828 toll free) helped to clear up the problem. now he enjoys the music on his ipod as well.

highly recommended. timeless songs, all with a beautiful message.

The music on this is pretty good, but I specifically wanted to get the music on my iPod, which the protection wouldn't let me do. When I do listen to music on my computer, I use iTunes for Windows, which can't read the CD. This made it essentially useless to me until I discovered that iTunes for the Mac can read it. If I'd been able to tell that this would be a problem before I opened it, I'd have returned it.

I freely admit to buying this because I'm a BIG Yoko Ono fan and I wanted to hear her song "Every Man...". That, and other reasons as well...

And, believe it or not, I'd never heard Christina Aguilera. (I grew up with John & Yoko, Frank Zappa, David Bowie, and the artists of that generation.)

Listening to all the different artists and different styles, I was impressed by every song. Yes, Yoko's is a highlight for me, but Christina Aguilera's version of "Beautiful" is strong and melodic and powerful and, well, beautiful. Pink's "Love Song" is a good segue, and Simply Red's classic rendition of the old favorite "You Make Me Feel Brand New" felt like they were recording it for the first time. The Dixie Chicks' "I Believe in Love" was near-perfect harmony, and I will be buying more of their music.

Carole King, well, what can you say? She never fails to deliver, and "An Uncommon Love" is no exception.

My favorite songs are on the second CD. Melissa Etheridge, the B-52s, Cyndi Lauper, Yoko Ono (my favorite, of course!), Dave Koz, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Billy Porter, and Oleta Adams, are only some of the great artists contributing songs.

Each and every track is worth listening to, and since I don't own an iPod, I don't have those particular issues.

Highly recommended!

I bought this specifically to install on my ipod and found that you can't do it. I Listen to all of my music through Itunes or on my IPOD, even in my car. Very disappointing for the price of this collection. Too bad...seems like a great collection of songs.
