21 Swing Band All-time Greats - Various Artists

Advantages: Superb songs, variety of music, not a bad track.
Disadvantages: Some of the rock music may not be to all tastes, but i struggled for a disadvantage!

...Im a huge fan of the American Pie Movies and own the trilogy and American Pie Band Camp and have seen American Pie the Naked Mile but are yet to own it. I also own the soundtracks to all of the original trilogy and whilst all are excellent, i feel this one is the best soundtrack as in my opinion it offers the most variety in styles of music accross the compilation. Track listing for American Pie The Wedding sountrack is as follows: 1.: Times Like These - Foo Fighters 2.: Anthem - Good Charlotte 3.: Forget Everything - New Found Glory 4.: Hell Song - Sum 41 5.: Swing Swing - All-American Rejects 6.: I Don't Give - Lavigne, Avril 7.: Laid - Nathanson, Matt 8.: Art Of Losing - American Hi-Fi 9.: Fever For The Flava - Hot Action Cop 10.: Give Up The Grudge - GOB 11.: Bouncing Off The Walls - Sugarcult 12.: Come Back Around...

Advantages: Variations of well known songs.
Disadvantages: none

...Brill album, much better than the first Radio one live lounge album. All tracks have been previously played on the radio one live lounge with Joe Willie, but I never get a chance to listen to them all first time they are on the radio, so its nice to hear them all. Some tracks really funny and are all by well-known artist's. The artists and bands either record alternative recordings of there own songs or ones by other artists, which is really interesting. I really love the Amy winehouse - Valerie its a slower version and is really good. It features allot of the top 40 bands and gives you a chance of hearing unusual tracks that you would not normally hear from such band albums. Highly Recommended.... Read review

Advantages: Great range of guitar styles and songs
Disadvantages: Missing some key guitar players

...for many of the artists involved on this CD, being a guitar player myselft I feel that they have indeed (probably depiberately so you must purchase other compilations) overlooked some of the fundemental musicians that I aspire to. Where is Mark Knopfler and his Sultans, or Slash's Jungle (or his dear Sweet Child!), or even the ranked number one at almost every poll asking the public "Who is the greatest Guitarist of all time?", JIMI HENDRIX!!!!! Understandably, the sound of Guns and Roses may not be the tune to everyones ear however a compilation is supposed to show a broad range of its object (in this case the guitar) and so having missed out the founding bricks of many artists, I did feel slightly disappointed when I purchased this Compilation myselft. Nonetheless, it is still a great album to appreciate and I will be airing to it for many... Read review
