Advantages: Raunchy, Ripe and Right Now Disadvantages: None
...Akon is one of those characters hard to define. You could put him in the R'n'B ring but for all the good it would do when he belts out those hip-hop numbers, collaborating with the likes of Snoop Dogg and Eminem.
A pioneer in his field, Akon used his West African descent and his latter years in New Jersey to create a sound, rich in texture and silky in vocal, and material motivated by his time in prison for various softcore offences to produce Trouble.

Advantages: Many different types of rock and fantstic artists - the best of 2006 and 2007 Disadvantages: Could have more hardrock artists in and and second CD hasn't as much good artists in
...A fantastic CD with lot's of different kinds of rock. The best bands of 2006 and 2007 put in one CD. Artists like Snow Patrol, Razorlight, The Fratellies, The Arctic Monkeys, Automatic, The Ordinary Boys, The Killers, Keane, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, The Kooks and the list goes on. 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...
