channels and maybe it does get the odd bit of 'extra' airtime. (E.g. "Close To Me" being on a BBC Three programme...it's name escapes me, but it may have been the 'Smoking Room'? Answers on a postcard...)
Their 'greatesthits' album, released in 2001 through Fiction Records and only done so on the basis that Smith could choose the tracks himself is 19 tracks that show a chronological tale of the band and their music through the years. (Although two of the tracks are brand new!)
Opening track "Boys Don't Cry" was released in June 1979, eight years before I was born. Yet with it's instantly recognisable guitar riff it's something that the countless bands since then that have idolised and 'taken influence' from the Cure could take the rest of time to improve on. I believe the saying is along the lines of put some monkeys in a room ...
Advantages: Most of the hits Disadvantages: Some big tracks missing
a title, he is fully-deservant of having a 'GreatestHits' collection in his name.

---1. "Surviving the Times"---
Album From: -
Year: 2007
Length: 4:43
Producer(s): Chris Webber
This is a brand new track from Nas and it acts as the perfect set-up for the album to follow it as he talks throught where he has come from and the journey he has gone through to form what we see today.
Interstingly NBA star Chris Webber prouced this track and I am impressed by the quality of the music, because it seems to fit in well with the artist and it looks good for him to have found a mainstream MC to ride his beat.
**Three Stars**

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Greatest Hits - Nas
Advantages: Great tracks old and new Disadvantages: None
I am a big fan of Whitney Houston, I think she has a beautiful, moving voice that has not been beaten since. I have already done a review on her first album, Whitney Houston but by far my favourite album of hers has to be Whitney, The GreatestHits!
Just a little background on the queen of pop herself incase you haven't heard of her:
Whitney Houston was born on August 9th, 1963 and is an extremely successful recording artist and actress. She comes from a very successful family and upbringing, her aunt is Dionne Warwick and her godmother is Aretha Franklin. Music was in the blood and she starting singing gospel music in her local church at aged 11. In the words of Clive Davis, written on one of the booklets that comes with the CD's, "For the next generation, there's a singer that combines the fiery gospel of Aretha Franklin ...

Additional notes
Album Notes
Personnel includes: Dick Dale (vocals, guitar). Compilation producers: Jim Pewter, Neil Norman. Recorded between 1961 & 1976. Includes liner notes by Jim Pewter & Dick Dale. Digitally remastered by Bob Fisher. After a couple of unsuccessful years as a journeyman rockabilly singer/guitarist, Dick Dale almost single-handedly invented instrumental surf music. He drowned his impossibly dexterous shred-guitar style in an ocean of echo and reverb (younger generations familiar with Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine should know that the sound started with Dale) and added trumpet, Latin percussion, and oddball reinterpretations of things like the Greek dance tune "Misirlou." Dale created an entire genre that is still alive today. One of the best single-disc Dale anthologies available, GREATEST HITS includes almost all of the necessities ("Misirlou," "Let's Go Trippin'," "Mr. Eliminator," etc) alongside equally fantastic but relatively obscure numbers like "Death of a Gremmie" and a surf-rock version of the theme from PETER GUNN. Which, of course, rocks. Essential for surf fans.
