Capital Gold Fifties Legends - Various Artists

Advantages: Great mix of songs and artists.
Disadvantages: Not always the best of the bands hits.

...As a child born in the 80's I have come to adore the music of the time, I'm always on the lookout for a good compilation CD and happened to spot this one during a shopping trip in Asda. Flipping the CD over to look at the track listing my eyes were drawn to one track and I didn't need to read the rest to know I had to have the CD. Capital Gold Eighties Legends contains songs by just that, 80's legends. There is a wide variety of artists providing a wide range of styles from pop to rock, Motown style and funk. It is a 2 disc CD providing 40 great 80's tunes. Because it is an 80's compilation, and most of us would have either heard the songs or heard of them, I wont go into a track by track description, that would spoil the fun of going out to buy the album and getting the know the songs yourself. Disc One- Disc one is packed... Read review

Advantages: Top 80,s artists
Disadvantages: double up of 1 artist

...This has to be the best 80,s collection of songs i have seen around. Forty tracks in this compelation and all hits from the artists . Alot of 80,s cd's that are around are full of one hit wonders which are good but this cd brings the best from the Artists of the time. From Queen to Bonnie tyler this is a must for any 80,s music fan. The cd has 2 hours and 30 minutes full of great tracks from great artists. It is a double cd and is black and white cover. There are tracks that you can dance too and tracks that are slow so a good mix but all you can sing at the top of your voice too ( as i have on many an occasion hee hee ) Track listing 1 Queen Kind of magic 2 Police Every breath you take 3 Alison moyet Only you 4 Blondie The tide is high 5 Madness My...

Advantages: Great for jazz buffs or know nothings!
Disadvantages: Bit of a jazz overload if you listen to it all at once.

...Although not a massive jazz fan - or expert - myself, I have found this compilation a fantastic way to 'dip in' to the genre whenever I feel in the mood. I honestly think that to some degree, everyone likes a bit of jazz - whether it's their favourite type of music, or they just listen to it once in a blue moon while they're chilling out at home. I think the reason why everyone has at least one jazz tune they like is because jazz comes in so many shapes and forms - and this is something which is shown brilliantly on Capital Gold Jazz Legends. There are three CDs and each is distinctly different from each other in mood and sound. I'd have to say that disc one is my personal favourite - mainly because they're the golden oldies that remind me of so many happy memories of my grandparents - who loved this sort of music. It's full of songs... Read review
