And The Beat Goes On - Various Artists

Advantages: Nice songs
Disadvantages: Not much variety

...The music goes well the movie, but there isn't a lot of variety from song to song. "Do That Thing" and "Take it to the Floor" almost sound alike, the beat and the lyrics seem to flow together. The ballads, such as "Sprung" and "Out the Hood" are the same, in that they sound alike. "Streets is Callin'" sounds rather fake, in that it should have been a more upbeat song. "Fizzo Got Flow" is a non-ending rhyming song in which the chorus repeats "Fizzo Got Flow" over and over. The songs by the other artists aren't any better, "Smile" is definately not a song that made me smile. Being a huge B2K fan, I was extremely disappointed. Could this be why they broke up?...

Advantages: Very inexpensive album set.
Disadvantages: You may already have some of the many tracks.

...This compilation consists of a ten, yes TEN CD boxed set, each CD having 20 tracks all original recordings. At a total cost of £19.95 in most high street record stores that works out at only £2.00 per CD which is pretty good value by my reconning. I actually bought it as I set a lot of quizzes and thought it would be good for music round setting which of couse it is but it actually good to play at parties etc, many of my friends remarking on the good quality and the variety of songs. There is a good range of artistes on the CDs from both sides of the Atlantic. there are many "classic" songs as well as some that you may have forgotten but are pleased to hear again after many years. Artists are too many to mention but include, thre Animals, Manfred Mann, Del Shannon, Hot Chocolate, Suzi Quatro, Don McClean, Leo Sayer, The Hollies and many... Read review

Has two CD's and has 40 tracks, 20 on each CD. Has new up coming artist such as Wolfmother. has many artists winners from the Brits: The Killers who won best national CD and best national band, The Arctic Monkeys won best British CD and best British band. The Fratellis won an award too and many more Brit award winning artists. A fantastic purchase well worth its money. A great buy. I recommend definitely to people anywhere between 8 and 100 if they enjoy that kind of music. It even has some live performing artists such as 'The Arctic Monkeys' on tour... Read review
