Advantages: The 6 number 1 records Disadvantages: The rest of the tracks are rubbish
. Finally after 7 tracks we get something from the 70's! From 1974 it was #3 in the UK but only #4 in the US R&B Charts despite being classed as a soul song, so yes it was a hit but no it wasn't disco.
8. Going Back To My Roots - Odyssey. From 1981 and it was more popular in the UK than anywhere else as it was #4, its best in America was #55 on the US Dance Charts. What you might not know (and I certainly didn't until today) was theirs was a cover version of Lamont Doziers 1977 funk original. Oh and his version is better than theirs.
9. So Many Men So Little Time - Miquel Brown. From 1983 and produced by Ian Levine, the same guy who wrote and produced High Energy. This track was actually the 1st creation in the HI-NRG club music genre made in an attempt to prove disco wasn't dead. According to Ian Levines Youtube entry it was #1 pop in ...
Advantages: 18 number 1's! Disadvantages: Some of the tracks are a bit crap
a rather awful dance track that was FAR too popular and certainly didn't deserve to be either.
19. Killer - Adamski (was #1, 1990)
Adam Tinley and Seal Samuel got together and made magic, NRG may not have been a huge hit but when Seal provided vocals for Killer it made for a smash hit for both of them. Adam may not have followed up but Seal is still making music & releasing albums today. Its a great dance track that can still fill floors today.
This CD offers an impressive 11 #1's, 1 #2, 1#3 and 6 #4's. 2 tracks are from 90, 1 from 92, 1 from 93, 1 from 94, 1 from 95, 2 from 96, 1 from 97, 9 from 98 and finally 1 from 99.
Considering you get 18 number 1's from 39 tracks I think you get good value for money here. If you don't already own all of these then I'd say its well worth the money. Especially when you consider its 37p a track ...
Advantages: wide variety of music, great price Disadvantages: a couple of notable absences
overlooked.
Or so I thought . . .
Then one day in work we realised (while having a random conversation) that there was a whole plethora of new 90s compilation albums out there. Now - okay, we probably ALL own a couple of these from when we actually were IN the nineties . . . but these ones are different because they span the WHOLE 90s, not just a specific few months or one year from within the decade.
After perusing the various options on play.com, I finally settled on100 Hits - 90s. Partly because with 100 songs and 5 CDs for less than a tenner is was pretty damn good value for money, and partly because there were a whole heap of songs on there that made me go "Oh my god, I had forgot ALL ABOUT THAT ONE!"
Most 90s album seem to embrace the dance genre that seemed so damn big at the time and forget that there were other types of music out ...
