...duran were to the 80's what take that were to the early nineties and the bay city rollers to the 70's. here is a semi definitve collection of the best of duran, from planet earth and up to and including electric barbarella, with old faves such as the reflex and wild boys.

Disadvantages: were bad at the end!

...I was brought up with sweet from a very early age as my mum was mad about them and then I was too!! The quality of their songs was always underated as other bands at the time such as The Bay City Rollers, Mud etc , always seemed to steal the limelight as they were more kiddy orientated! I saw sweet twice once in the 70's and the once only a year before Brian died! They were all talented , Andy was an exceptional guitar player, able to cover rock-ballads, and Steve the guitarist!!, who I remember wore more makeup than I ever did!!, but he looked well glam, then there was Mick on drums and Brian on vocals.At his peak Brian was one of the best, he belted out with such gusto!, however the last time I saw them he was a wreck, shaking, fat and couldnt hold a note!!, it seems a pity that they try to continue when they obviously arnt up to it...

What I like about Meat Loaf is that he can be so hard rock in a song and in that same song do this about face and the song becomes slower, kind of tender and, well, sometimes almost loving. I particularly like Meat Loaf’s CD, Bat of Hell 2: Back... Read review
