Big Band Legends (Music Makers) - Various Artists

Advantages: Guest appearances bonanza!!!
Disadvantages: You'll wish it doesn't end!

...After 4 years without a new album and a couple of mind-blowing DJ sets on the beach, Fatboy Slim returns with "Palookaville" in 2004. No need to introduce the man himself... Mr Norman Cook has a portfolio longer than Inspector Gadget's arms: former Housemartins and Dub International band member, House/Big Beat legend under various nicknames (Mighty Dub Katz, Fatboy Slim etc...) and famous remixer who helped Cornershop shoot to fame with "Brimful of Asha". "Palookaville" isn't the expected Dance album a lot of fans awaited. It is certainly Fatboy Slim's most personal and autobiographical one to date. It's a very nice mixture of Rock, Pop and Electronic music. The opening track "Don't let the man..." is probably the closest song you'll get to "vintage" Fatboy Slim. It is quite similar to "Praise you". "Slash Dot Dash... Read review

Advantages: Many different types of rock and fantstic artists - the best of 2006 and 2007
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: May appeal to people who aren't wrestling fans
Disadvantages: Tracks are quite short in length

...If your a wrestling fan then this is a must if your into the wrestlers entrance music. It consists of 14 tracks from The Rock’s famous entrance music ‘Know your role’ with his well known saying, ‘If you smell, what the rock is cooking’ to the older veteran and hard-core legend Mick Fowley’s ‘Wreck’ entrance for his character Mankind. It does include some old entrances which have now changed, such as the Undertakers and Billy Gunn’s but still worth listening to. My favourite out of the whole album has to be HHH ‘My time’ although not my favourite wrestler his entrance music, has what I like, that raw energy and aggression that can pump up the crowd when he enters the ring. Many other wrestlers are feature including Y2J, Edge and Christian and The Big Show as well as some... Read review
