has-beens, a certain US TV series about a certain skinny lawyer came along and returned him to his rightful position as guru of lurve. Fortunately during his absence, many of his albums slipped down onto the mid-price range, a fact for which you should be eternally grateful as it means you can get CDs like this for bargain prices. Greatest Hits does exactly what it says on the tin, and being Vol.1 means that it is from the best period of his career, hence the inclusion of classics like, well, every track, but especially "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love Babe" and "Never Never Gonna Give You Up". If you want a compilation spanning his entire career, ropy bits and all, then go for The Collection; but, if you want a stack of classic soul, then this is of the purest hot-buttered variety. --Helen Marquis

All-Time Greatest Hits collects the essential White and Love Unlimited Orchestra tracks onto a packed CD. Are 20 cuts too much? Not with Viagra.

Advantages: All the best songs in one place Disadvantages: Not worthwhile for the aged-old fan
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: 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 ...
Advantages: Brilliant, wonderful rock songs Disadvantages: ...Erm...not for people who like dance music...misses their newer stuff
So going through a pile of my mums CD I spot Westlife, Madonna, Avril Lavigne, Athelete then Aerosmith's greatesthits...well doesn't take a genius to work out which I'm going to take a listen to does it. The plastic cased cover has a nice that when the case is opend "flat" looks rather attractive, the inlay book is album history and credits (why no lyrics?) and the back of the case has the song list.
This world famous band, who've been together for well over 30 years, are considered one of the staple's of American rock, the band led by the always charismatic Steven Tyler (Mick Jagger lookey likey or what?) have managed a longevity many modern bands would be happy with and more so, they have been performing at a high level for the marjority of it.
So now back onto the album, the opening track "Dream on" was sampled by Eminem in his ...

Album Notes
Digitally remastered by Thomas Ruff (Polygram Studios). The original love man, Barry White straddled the line between early disco and lush, Philly International-style R&B in his mid-'70s prime. That unique paradigm occupied by White is perfectly anthologized on this definitive collection. Like Al Green, White displays a single-minded commitment to romantic/carnal fulfillment that borders on obsessive. That's just the kind of emotional involvement that makes for great art. The billowing strings and luscious arrangements are the satin sheets and pillowcases that support White's basso profundo exclamations of love and lust. On classics like "You're the First, the Last, My Everything" and "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe," White's soft, deep monologues are as affecting as his singing. This collection is the sonic equivalent of a dozen red, long-stemmed roses and a heart-shaped box of chocolates; the sort of thing for which Valentine's Day was invented.
