Best Of Oi, The [Remastered] - Various Artists

Advantages: Great acoustic music
Disadvantages: some tracks are not how you know them

...I don't often listen to Radio 1, but this one time I did, they were playing only tracks recorded in the live lounge - And I Loved It. the songs were not remastered and you could hear the lyrics and music without all the extras that make some people buy their tracks. The copies by artists of other artists songs are of superb quality, and some really make it their own. When I listen to them I just love the fact that they are live recordings with no additionals. Its great that artists are comfortable with singing live, acoustic, and other peoples songs. By listening to the tracks you can tell which artists can sing and which artists definately need to remaster their tracks to sell their singles/albums. Or which need to lip synch for their live gigs.

Some of the better band i found on this compalation are Stiff Little Fingers, Buzzcocks, The Stranglers and Cockney Rejects. My favourite track being "The Greatest Cockney Rip... Read review

...This is still today the biggest selling album in history. This album rocks. The tracks are excellent, the lyrics are fanastic, anyone who likes listening to music should buy this album, it is the best. Jackson blends his great soul voice to rock and pop songs which is in Jackson's case a lethal combination. This is the best music gets. I would have to say this is my favourite album of all time. Billie Jean is a classic. Jackson is at his best and his voice sounds terrific, he does all sorts of effects with his voice which make him such a talented artist.... Read review
