50 Lovely Irish Songs (Everyone's Favourites) - Shamrock Man

Advantages: The Very Best Of The Big O
Disadvantages: I had to review 41 Songs... phew

...Everyone knows Pretty Woman, most have heard of Only The Lonely, a lot of people recognise I Drove All Night, the one with Jason Priestley in the video and any fan of Only Fools And Horses knows Crying is the song that the guy who can't pronounce his R's right sang to hilarious effect. Cwying, Cwying, Cwyyyyyying….you remember it I'm sure. But if you are not of a certain age you probably don't know a lot of Roy's stuff. Not many of my friends were familiar with him, a lot even laughed when they saw I had bought this CD but when they got to hear a few of the songs, their appreciation rose until I was getting pestered for copies. I guess it's because he's a golden oldie that most young people pass him by so lightly, he hasn't the protest cool of Bob Dylan or the iconic image of David Bowie but after many drunken renditions of I Drove All...

Advantages: Nice guest rappers like Ghostface and Raekwon turn up at AFTERPARTY and THE TURN respectively.
Disadvantages: The lyrics from Method man are disgusting and the musical production is revolting! SAY WHAT?

..., say all right, haha' that I found pointless and redundant. The ending to Method Man's lyricism in the third verse takes criticism for being hopeless as well: [Method Man - 3rd verse] '….honey's "bee" like Meth, I be like what? They want some free cd's, I'm like "see these" nuts….' Rating: 7/10 8. TEASE (4:50 min) featuring Chinky Ciao readers, rap listeners and R'n'b listeners take heed, as I approach the commercial track called TEASE. This song screams profound sex! Yep that's right. This lame Hip Hop and R'n'b collaboration finds Method Man bragging about all the women he can sexually appease while Chinky begs him to TEASE her in bed. Method Man says that all women '....love me back....' because '....I'm the best thing since cooked food....' and the presence of these lines in his rhymes exposes his... Read review

Advantages: Good rhythms to do the housework to, some excellent songs
Disadvantages: Some songs will appeal to some and not to others.

...Housework Songs is a double CD compilation album. The idea is that these songs are all suitable to listen to whilst doing the housework so easing the load and making the dutiful chores a little more enjoyable. On the front cover is a picture of a woman (rather sexist, men do the housework too! At least they do in my house!) singing into her vacuum cleaner. There are 41 songs on the album and there is a good mixture with something for everyone. We have songs from the 1960s including "Pretty Woman", and "Respect", in the 1970s we have "You Sexy Thing" and "American Pie", the 1980s gives us "Fame" and "I Think We're Alone Now", the 1990s gives us "Over My Shoulder"and "Moving on Up" then from the 2000s we have "Spinning Around" and "The Closest Thing To Crazy." I love this album it has such a fantastic mix of songs, all of which I... Read review
