50 Greatest Floor Fillers - Various Artists

Advantages: Super mix of the sublime and the unusual
Disadvantages: No beatles tracks

...50 Years of the Greatest Hit Singles was purchased for me as a christmas present by my mother two years ago, and to be totally honest i was rather dubious. At heart I am a 60's and 70's heavy rock fan, but there are certain Rock and Roll groups who's music make my spine tingle. I have to say that this double CD was the perfect blend of these age old classics, and came complete with a sprinkling of music that i myself am unlikely to ever listen to, but which will give me something to play which will appeal to the other members of my family, for special gatherings such as christmas and new year. One notable absence was music by the famous Beatles, which is a real shame but the range of music on offer more than makes up for this. I am yet to purchase the platinum edition of this album, but i am hopeful that it will be of an equal caliber... Read review

...At first, I was very wary of this CD as I thought it would be full of forgotton one hit wonder tracks that would only appeal to world war two veterans and five year old children - but I was very, very wrong.

Plus classics that fit all genres like 'Imagine' by John Lennon, 'Do They Know It's Christmas' by the unforgettable Band Aid and the moving 'Angels' by Robbie Williams. Other artists include Steps, Kylie, David Bowie, Elton John, Soft Cell and Blondie, to name but a few. The compilation takes a journey through time from the very start of the singles chart to the more recent years of its existance, spanning classic disco stompers and moving tear... Read review

...The other day made me stop and think that I have been around for 4 decades, now that seems a hell of a long time doesn’t it?.Lol. I will now get to the point of my opinion, which is about a wonderful CD that I purchased recently and its called 50 YEARS OF THE GREATEST HIT SINGLES. I grew up with music, from the sixties, seventies and leaving my teenage years in the eighties, these three decades have produced some unforgettable songs. I saw this advertised on CD-WOW.Com that I am sure most of you are members already or at least heard of it. It’s a brilliant site to purchase CD’s, DVD’s and games too, which I highly recommend. This compilation has been put together to celebrate 50years of the official uk singles chart and is actually two discs. It covers all moods and styles from the last five decades; some... Read review
