Ballroom Blitz - Victor Silvester Orchestra (The)

Advantages: Not a single bad or even mediocre song on the entire album.
Disadvantages: Not everyone own's it.

...Having risen to the heady heights of fame at the tender age of 15, one might expect Silverchair to have burnt out and paled into history like so many others before them.
