101 Great Country Line Dance Hits - Various Artists

Advantages: Music from the greatest generation ever
Disadvantages: No Frankie, Wham, Pet Shop Boys

...me to this offering? I would like to say that the Album Cover shouted at me come and buy me but sadly I would be lying. As I said before, one of my great loves is eighties music and that was the main reason for me buying this offering. To be honest with you, the cover is pretty bland and uninteresting with the numbers 101 being prominent in blue, cerise and yellow respectively, with 80?s hits written in white on a black background just below. What actually grabbed my attention was the track listing, rather than the album cover. So what did I get for my money. Lets start with the first disc. Tracks on disc 1 1.: I Want To Break Free ? Queen One of Queen?s later offerings, probably best remembered for the video which showed various band members doing the hovering whilst in drag amongst other similar activities. A huge hit...

...This is one of the first compilation CD's I ever bought. At the time I thought it was fantastic, but over the years I've seemed to have grown a little sick of some of the songs. If anyone remembers the days of Shaggy and Oh Carolina, well, you'll like this compilation as it's full of old songs like that, (and that song sure does bring abck quite a few memories!) Artists include: Reel 2 Reel, Haddaway, M People, Aswad, Sister Sledge, Shaggy, Robin S, 2 Unlimited, Capella, Prodigy, The Shamen, Snap, Seal, S'Express and Black Box.... As you can tell by some of the above names, most of them are the oldies! Brilliant to keep for 'old time sakes'.... Read review

...a party. The songs are amazing. You have LMC vs U2 with "Take Me To The Clouds Above". I don't know how to define this song, it's not overdone with synthesizers and effects. You have Ultrabeat's uplifting track "Feelin' Fine", Motorcycle's "As The Rush Comes"(quite a moody and dark tune), Lasgo's "Surrender", Kelly Llorenna's powerful vocals on "This Time I Know It's For Real", Northern Heightz's dancefloor hit "Look At Us", Despina Vandi's sensational and rhythmic "Gia", Tiësto's "Traffic" and Tube & Berger and Chrissie Hynde's collaboration on "Straight Ahead". I believe they've got the right mix of artists on here, providing a variety of styles within the "dance" genre. As always, there are some naff tracks on here from one hit wonders or people you've never heard of, but the balance of these and all the artists & songs listed above makes up... Read review
