Best Of The Mighty Clouds Of Joy, 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....

Disadvantages: Could have more hardrock artists in and and second CD hasn't as much good artists in

...A fantastic CD with lot's of different kinds of rock. The best bands of 2006 and 2007 put in one CD. Artists like Snow Patrol, Razorlight, The Fratellies, The Arctic Monkeys, Automatic, The Ordinary Boys, The Killers, Keane, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, The Kooks and the list goes on. Has two CD's and has 40 tracks, 20 on each CD. Has new up coming artist such as Wolfmother. has many artists winners from the Brits: The Killers who won best national CD and best national band, The Arctic Monkeys won best British CD and best British band. 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: Some really great football tunes!
Disadvantages: A few bad ones let the album down a bit.

...I know it’s not exactly World Cup or Euro time at the moment, but the footie last night put me in the mood for listening to my footie album I bought when the football was on last year! The name of this fantastic album… England, The Album. This album consists of 20 tracks by various artists. Each track is either a football song/anthem or simply to cheer England on. I’m not really a big football fan, but I bought this to cheer England on and because I like the songs! *** The Tracks. *** Track 01: Queen – We Are The Champions. Hands up if you don’t know this one! I think this is a song that most people have heard at some point. It is a great song to inspire England that they can be champions even if it’s not in the form of winning the matches as to a lot of fans they will be regarded as champions just for getting out...
