Best Of The 70's, The - Various Artists

Advantages: All the best R'n'B anthems from '04 & '05
Disadvantages: A little dated now

...This is an excellent round up of all the R'n'B smashes of 2004 and 2005 with a few nostalgic classics thrown in for good measure. It covers the slow jams, the dancefloor joints and everything in between from artists as diverse as Wayne Wonder, Lucy Pearl, Kelis and Usher. CD2 also takes us back with classic gems from the likes of D'Angelo (whose 'Brown Sugar' pretty much defined and kick started the neo soul scene), Janet Jackson (with her undeniable classic 'That's The Way Love Goes') and Blackstreet (with club hit 'No Diggity' featuring Dr Dre) This album is the perfect party album and although it avoids raritites, its sound understanding of R'n'B past and present make it a must have for any music lover....

However I heard some cuts from the album pre-release on www.donny.com and liked what I heard so I bought it. As did a lot of other people as it went gold within a week of release. And here's a rundown of the tracks for the UK release (the US version has David Gate's "If" on it but I suspect Decca remembered the Telly Savalas version been a hit over here and passed on that track !) 1 "I can...

...Ok Welcome to this review on " the best air guitar album in the world " Vol.2. Well I got this album for my Christmas in 2002 I think, after my dad got the first 1. I kept hinting every time we went shopping and on Christmas day I woke up to find it in my stocking. This is a double disk CD by various artists comprised for air guitar rockers around the world. There are lots or artists old and new from Queen to alien ant farm. Brian Adams to Alice cooper, and so on. I will go through the songs individually on each disk. But first, what's included.
