Diary (A Collection) - China Crisis

Advantages: truely great collcetion of songs
Disadvantages: getting caught singing along

...A great set full of old favorites that you just love to sing along to doing the housework or in the car. Personal favorites include Bat out of hell by Meatloaf, China in you hand by T'Pau and We are tha champions by Queen. Play it loud and noone will be able to hear you singing with it. It includes classics and some modern stuff but all great songs. I love the way they have chosen a variety of different songs and put them together to make a truely fantastic collection. I dont think there is one song on here that i dont like. I have had this collection for a while and recomend it especially as a christmas pressent or just a treat for yourself. My dad loved the one i got him. Word of warning thou make sure your alone if you plan on singing , i gave people in the next car a good laugh when i was caught sining black velvet.... Read review

Advantages: A great artist
Disadvantages: None

...’s songs, Lets Dance, China Girl and Absolute beginners, which are slower tracks, but not ballads. This CD has all of Bowie’s famous songs and is a great place to start with him. I hated Bowie when I was a teen, but now, I think he is brilliant, with music that makes you want to listen to the words. He is difficult to describe and his innovation with music throughout time is well documented. What can you say? Well, I suppose if you are curious about him this is a good starting place and does not include some of his weirder and harder to listen to stuff that is on some of his 1970’s albums. Just to let you know, my favourite tracks are Young Americans, which is so vibrant and Changes, which is the catchiest tune on the album.... Read review
