Various Artists - America: A Tribute To Heroes
It was one of the biggest telethons in history, raising hundreds of millions of dollars for the victims of the September 11th attacks. Celebrities such as Julia Roberts, George Clooney, and Tom Hanks answered phones and appeared on camera. The musical performances were amazing, and they are all collected on this 2 CD collection. From Bruce Springsteen's opening "My City of Ruin" to Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind" to Paul Simon's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" to Willie Nelson's all-star finale "America the Beautiful", and everything in between, it was a great collection of musical performances for a great cause. All proceeds from the sale of this CD go to the September 11th fund.

Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg star in the action comedy movie The Wash, and also are featured on the soundtrack along with some of the biggest names in rap and hip-hop. It's a good combination of East Coast, West Coast, and even the southern flavor of Bubba Sparxx. Other artists on the soundtrack include Eminem's group D12, Bilal, Busta Rhymes, Xzibit, Supafly, Shaunta, and Knoc-turnal. The Wash is an entertaining soundtrack with some excellent hip-hop, rap, and R&B music.
