Best Of Tearjerkers, The - Various Artists

Advantages: variety of songs
Disadvantages: none!!

...At first, I was very wary of this CD as I thought it would be full of forgotton one hit wonder tracks that would only appeal to world war two veterans and five year old children - but I was very, very wrong. There is something for everybody on this compilation, like 'Bohemian Rhapsody' for the plethra of Queen fans, 'Teenage Kicks' by The Undertones for all the Punk fans. Plus classics that fit all genres like 'Imagine' by John Lennon, 'Do They Know It's Christmas' by the unforgettable Band Aid and the moving 'Angels' by Robbie Williams. Other artists include Steps, Kylie, David Bowie, Elton John, Soft Cell and Blondie, to name but a few. The compilation takes a journey through time from the very start of the singles chart to the more recent years of its existance, spanning classic disco stompers and moving tear-jerkers...

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

Advantages: 45 Roxy & Bryan Ferry tracks
Disadvantages: Another Compilation

...with Roxy Music, their music is a blend of rock and roll, some at the progressive end of this genre (mainly those with input from Brian Eno, in my view). Add to this a smattering of romantic ballads - many of the best coming around the time of Bryan Ferry's relationship with leggy model Jerry Hall - pre Mick Jagger. Interestingly many of the most romantic came just after they split! The majority of Ferry's earlier solo efforts were covers of songs by a variety of other artists. I'm not usualy a lover of cover versions. However, I have to say that I honestly think BF did each and every one justice - in many cases adding something the original never had for me. Later albums included more of his own works. Favourites: Roxy Music Virginia Plain - classic debut single. How this never made number one is beyond me. Upbeat 70's rock anthem. Do... Read review
