Greatest Hits [Remastered] - Great White

The Cure - Greatest Hits

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 'greatest hits' 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 ...

Review of Greatest Hits - Cure

The Greatest Greatest Hits Album

Advantages: Great tracks old and new
Disadvantages: None

with the stunning elegance and the beauty of lyric phrasing of Lena Horne, and she is Whitney Houston." Spoken in 1985, he was definitely true! Generally I tend to think that greatest hits albums are a waste of money because if you have all the artists other CD's you probably have most of the tracks anyway but this album is well worth it. It's the one place where you can get all her old classics, as well as new songs and some funky duets.

The CD was released in 2000. Like I said it's a double CD and each CD has a really cool title. Disc 1 is called Cool Down and features her more chilled, love songs even though she still belts out some cracking vocals ...

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 ...
