Advantages: Varied popular songs plus some obscure ones Disadvantages: The obscure songs are probably not to everyones taste
This is the second CD I have brought from this series, I find these CD's a general overview of the years music relating to well known tracks to some that are unknown to me. This therefore make is a very good album to listen to as you know what you are getting from some of the songs. artists like Sterophonics, Muse, Athlete, The Libertines and so on are well known and will appeal to the majority. There are however some more obscure songs bands like Client, Bees, which although are not to bad for my taste they may not appeal to everyone.
On the whole I have found this to be a good album in my collection and one that I will listen to if I can not make up my mind. If you like the main popular songs on this album then I would recommend to have this in your collection. ...
Advantages: Some great tracks Disadvantages: None!
BoredTeenagersVol. 1 is the first part of what is currently 4 compilations of punk bands between 77 an 82, I'd like to describe them as one hit wonders but they didn't even have hits, so it's not quite that, more an album full of the best tracks of punk bands who generally didn't release much of their own work.

Track 2 is Schoolgirl Bitch's "Abusing the rules", Accrington's only main punk band who have a more grimey sound to them.
Track 3 is Bournemouth's band Henry Essence with "14 Year old Lover", the vocals are quite posh and almost ...
Advantages: Sterling collection of classic tunes Disadvantages: A few fillers which don't really justify their inclusion
”, of course, and “My Perfect Cousin” (which apart from anything else contains some of the best, or possibly the worst, certainly the most memorable, rhymes I’ve ever heard – notably “His mother bought him a synthesizer, she got the Human League in to advise her”.) A few tracks – “7Teen” by the Regents and a few other end-of-CD fillers spring to mind – could, in my view, have usefully been left out to make room for things more worthy of inclusion (Going Underground by the Jam, London Calling by the Clash).
Full track listing is as follows:
~CD1~
1. The Undertones – Teenage Kicks
2. The Jam – Town Called Malice
3. Blondie – Hanging on the Telephone
4. The Clash – Rock the Casbah
5. Dexy’s Midnight Runners – Geno
6. The Specials ...
