Is it the slick production? Or the catchy tunes? The irresistible hooks? Or is it the true sweetness of Karen Carpenter's voice? What exactly is the enduring appeal of The Carpenters?

I've noticed that many, much more unlikely, people have a similar strange bent!

Only Yesterday includes many of their tops hits including Rainy Days and Mondays, Goodbye to Love and For All We Know. I think it encompasses their hits during the height of their fame and reflects the incredible depth of feeling they had at this time.

Another of their best songs.. Only Just Begun (remixed on this album) was originally an advertising tune for an american bank, but once ...
Products similar to Only Yesterday: Richard & Kare...
The Eraser - Thom Yorke
Moments of sheer brilliance
Extremely unaccessible for the casual listener
The Beer Necessities - Macc Lads
Hilarous album, lots of swearing and non-PC songs
Not for everyone (lots of swearing and non-PC songs)
The Annual 2008
Pop - 2007
The Archaic Course - Borknagar
Maintains the excellent style of its predecessor...
...but fails to do anything new.
The Art Of Drowning - AFI
upbeat punk sound with deep, dark lyrics
the odd track could be easily forgotten by new listeners
Scottish Fiction: Best Of 1997 - 2007 - Idlewild
Pop - 2007
Konvicted: Parental Advisory - Akon
Great range of tracks
None if you are into Hip-Hop and an Akon fan
La Vie En Rose - Edith Piaf
Easy Listening - 2007
King - TI
A few bangers
No change from earlier albums
King Of The Grey Islands - Candlemass
Still on top form, the band's finest album since the eighties.
Prevalence of filler material.
