Greatest Hits - Charley Pride

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...Take one amazing band, compile some of their best known songs from the Eighties onto one CD and here you have an instant winner. From the opening riff of Pride (In The Name Of Love) to the closing moments of All I Want Is You, every track serves to remind you why U2 are one of the biggest stadium bands of all time. With Or Without You, I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For, and Desire are but three of the fourteen classics. My only complaint is that some U2 classics have been overlooked, such as One and Mysterious Ways. However, there is a good reason for this; these songs were recorded after 1990, and will appear on another Greatest Hits album, which is yet to be released.... Read review

Advantages: Filled to the brim with classic tracks
Disadvantages: Not Applicable

...So many greatest hits and best of's around now are not a true reflection of the artist's best work - but here is one that is. Having heard all of U2's albums between 1980 and 1990, I can definitely say that almost everything that should be here is here.

They've even included the magnificant recent re-working of the old B-Side 'Sweetest Thing' in case you had any doubts. So if you haven't got any old (I prefer the term vintage) U2 in your collection, buy this now, because they made... Read review

Advantages: You will know all the songs.
Disadvantages: Not all the hits are there, and there is no track information.

...As a greatest hits album, I would have expected this to contain all the hits I have heard of. So where were Radio Ga Ga and It's a Kind of Magic? I'll tell you where. They were on the second greatest hits album. It is all well and good releasing a greatest hits album, but not if you are only going to include only 14 songs. As a stand alone product though, I cannot fault it. You will know all of the songs on it, and all of them are great, especially to drive to. My only problem is that there is not enough information about the tracks, like there is on the second Greatest hits album.... Read review
