25 Years Of Rock 'n' Roll - 1964 Vol.2 - Various Artists

Advantages: The Stones at their very best
Disadvantages: None

...If you were to be stranded on a desert island with only one album then the choice for any level headed person would have to be this collection which features the best of the ‘Rolling Stones’ between 1964 and 1971. I personally feel that the Stones do not, as of yet, get the full credit and praise that they deserve. Not only were they at the forefront of rock n roll for many years, but they have also produced tracks that have transcended the music world and come to signify just what the 20th Century was, in part, all about.

Advantages: great tunes
Disadvantages: few weak ones

...This double cd is effectively the greatest hits of the rolling stones from 1964 to 1971. It is a great album it has all your favourites on in their original form and there are very few missing. I find the first of the 2 cds much weaker. There are some solid tunes, but no greats with the exception of satisfaction. Meanwhile all the faves are on the second cd: jumping jack flash, brown sugar, gimme shelter etc. this cd does not have a weak link (maybe the penultimate track) the tunes come thick and fast and you’ll know all the words. It starts with all the raucous numbers and ends with the tender epic wild horses – my personal favourite. This is a cornerstone to any cd collection. Buy it now.... Read review

...As usual, Top of the Pops have created a double CD compilation featuring the latest pop music from this year, and I would have to say that it is absolutely fantastic. it is worth giving a liten. This time it features music from Miss Britney Spears herself, N Sync along with a whole range of this years top chart acts. As well as pop music, this alcum also features some R'n'B and rock, so there is something for everyone in there. It is a lot of fun to listen to, you can just bang it on your CD player and relax, just as any good music should be able to do. Pop music makes me feel in a good mood and so when I am upset I put it on to sheer me up, this definitely does the jon.... Read review
