Goin' Back (The Very Best Of Dusty Springfield) - Dusty Springfield

Advantages: A lively, upbeat album which is tautly compiled, including all the great hits.
Disadvantages: Lacks maybe one or two key songs. Album a little long.

...This album was compiled a few years before Dusty Springfield died of cancer in the 1990s, relaunching all of her hits onto a modern audience as well as allowing older audiences to relive her greatness. It is a fantastic disc for loyal fans of Dusty who want all of her hits on one disc, as well as a perfect gateway for new fans who want a taste of her music. Many of her well-known songs are here, including 'I Only Wanna Be With You', 'You Don't Have to Say You Love Me', 'I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself', 'The Look of Love' and 'Son of a Preacher Man'. It also includes 'What Have I Done To Deserve This', Dusty's collaboration track with the Pet Shop Boys, and the album as a whole provides a variety of upbeat and mellow tracks, making it a perfect soundtrack all year round. Dusty's originality was clearly marked in the 1960s when... Read review

Neil young only has a couple of songs... Read review

Advantages: Original classic comedy
Disadvantages: None

...gap before you found out what happened. There was intense speculation about what happened, and this only increased the popularity of the show. There was even a "Springfield's Most Wanted" show looking at various suspects. This was well handled and deftly executed, if you'll pardon the pun. They kept you guessing until the last possible moment, two great episodes full of mystery. "Black Widower" has Selma wedding her pen pal who is in prison. He also happens to be Sideshow Bob, who Bart sent to prison when he tried to frame Krusty for armed robbery. Bart thinks something is fishy, but can he save the day before Sideshow Bob completes his plan, or is it all in his head? This is a deliciously devilish episode, almost Hitchcockian in it's premise. Probably one of the best written episodes ever, it's funny but also has a very dark tone... Read review
