Greatest Hits Of Walter Donaldson - Jack Manno Singers (The)

The Cure - Greatest Hits

Advantages: All the best songs in one place
Disadvantages: Not worthwhile for the aged-old fan

Being the impressionable 21-year old, I'm always keen to find new music to add to my collection or taste. But sometimes it helps to go back a few years as well.... A couple of years ago, if you'd have asked me to name a couple of Cure songs, I'd have said "what?" and the closest I'd be able to come is say "isn't their lead singer a bit 'eccentric' for an old man?".... However, upon a visit to the iTunes store and typing in 'The Cure', I recognised the first 6 songs on offer. How is that so? Well, I thought maybe it would be because Robert Smith & co have been doing rather well off royalty money from adverts/theme tunes/backing music in recent year.....no, it's because they've produced music that has stood the test of time and is just as good now as it was then. It's music that still gets played in rock nightclubs, radio stations, TV ...

The Greatest Greatest Hits Album

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.

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 ...

Review of Greatest Hits - Whitney Houston

Aerosmith greatest hits or greatest ****s?

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 greatest hits...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 ...
