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: makes nails look shiney, dries quickly, pretty colour Disadvantages: needs two coats
I bought Rimmel London 60 Seconds 730 SilverBullet nail varnish from Boots for around £3.99 which is I'd say is slightly over priced for a nail varnish but it seemed very good as it claimed it took "one coat" and it was "quick & easy to apply". The biggest claim was that it took "under 60 seconds to dry". I used to bite my nails and I was finally letting them grow so I needed a nice light yet funky colour to make my nails look nice so I would hopefully stop biting them.
The nail varnish is very small with a black lid and a glass base showing the colour of the nail varnish. There's a sticker on the front that tells you the colour, number and name of the company. The smell of the varnish is very over powering like most nail varnishes, I don't mind the smell but some people find it sickening and that it gives them a headache. The brush ...

Detroit has produced more than its share of great music: from jazz stars like Hank, Thad & Elvin Jones; to the Motown stable of vocal artists, and legendary rhythm players Benny Benjamin and James Jamerson. Not to mention a whole lot of hard funk and primal metal, everyone from Funkadelic and Ted Nugent, to Iggy & The Stooges and the MC5--hard driving, rugged rock and roll. Put it all together with a touch of pop, and a lot of soul, and you've got Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band. It's easy to divine Seger's influence on the music of Bruce Springsteen, and draw parallels with the vocal style of Van Morrison. The epic themes of Seger's characters on "Night Moves" certainly parallel those of the folk heroes who populate Springsteen songs (though he began developing his menagerie a good decade before the Boss). The chant-like, testifying cadences of Seger's blowtorch voice, and his predilection for gospelish motifs, puts one in mind of the mighty Celt's visionary flights. And as the fine GREATEST HITS makes clear, Bob Seger's influence on contemporary roots music is enormous. A song such as "Like A Rock" practically defines a roots approach to power pop, while "Old Time Rock & Roll" finds Seger in an upbeat, Little Richard mode. Celebrations notwithstanding, "Still The Same" and "Turn The Page" are dark, unstinting unsentimental looks at the underbelly of the showbiz animal and the road.
Album Reviews
Spin (1/95, p.75) - Highly Recommended - "...the '70s were the decade in which Springsteen got the plaudits and the column inches, but the sales and the radio belonged to Bob Seger..." Entertainment Weekly (11/18/94, p.108) - "...this plucks six blue-collar anthems from his late-'70s NIGHT MOVES and STRANGER IN TOWN albums, then sifts through his...'80s adult power-ballad backlist..." - Rating: B+
