15 Years On - Dubliners (The)

Advantages: A good collection of 20 songs from the 40 years, Good drinking tunes
Disadvantages: Nowhere near a big enough compilation of their best songs.

...and probably flowing. So there are the stand out tracks on the album, mixed in amongst those are medley’s with Banjo Barney going mad and more of the same kind of songs. The album represents a large selection of the Dubliners music over the 40 years but with a career spanning that long there are so many equally as good tracks missing from the album. Track List: 1) Don’t Give Up 'Til It’s Over 2) Lord Of The Dance 3) Dancing At Whitsun 4) When The Boys Come Rolling Home 5) Raglan Road 6) a) Rocky Road to Dublin b) Within A Mile Of Dublin 7) The Last Thing On My Mind 8) Grace 9) Perab San Ol 10) a) Plains of Boyle b) Sheaf Of Wheat 11) Seven Drunken Nights 12) The Kerry Recruit 13) The Town I Loved So Well 14) a) Gerry Cronin’s Reel b) Denis Langton’s Reel 15) Carrickfergus 16) Viva La Quinta Brigada 17) All For Me Grog 18...

Advantages: Mainly good fun and entertaining.
Disadvantages: Has some fillers.

...to reveal shorter skirts below. On first my first viewing of this as an impressionable 16 year old, I was impressed. Reached Number One in the UK singles chart in 1981 of course. Track 13 GARY GLITTER - I'M THE LEADER OF THE GANG (I AM) This CD set came out before all the hoo-hah surrounding Mr Glitter. I'll just say it got to Number One in the UK singles chart in 1973. Track 14 TIGHT FIT - THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT A frequently covered song with many variations over the years, Tight Fit do a good job on this version. The lead singer's trousers may indeed have been a tight fit to sing this high. Number One in the UK singles chart in 1982. Track 15 DAMIAN - TIME WARP A much covered song originating from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and still a floor filler at some discos and when played by covers bands. Damian hams it up well here...

Advantages: Easy listening and unique
Disadvantages: Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

...with her and Ludacris on 'High Price', apparently it's set to be one of the 'illest' tracks we've heard for quite sometime. Dream did not really shoot to fame until last year however, and this was all down to the success of 'Umbrella' -- without a doubt his biggest writing credit to date is on the Rihanna-sung hit. Clearly it takes great minds to write a track that is going to be as big of a hit as 'Umbrella' came to be, and I am willing to suggest that if it wasn't for Rihanna's success that The-Dream would still be another face in the crowd. Not to say, "I will hunt you down," didn't become one of the lyrics for Spring '08. At twenty-five years old, The-Dream is one of the younger producers going -- Neyo is pushing towards the thirty mark, and Timbaland would love to be mistaken for someone in their mid-thirties. Nash's stagename... Read review
