Ink Spots Greatest Hits Vol.1 - Ink Spots (The)

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...As one of the die-hard Queen Fans that remember their entry to the "rock"world Queen's Greatest Hits I is a must for any true fan. As is Greatest HitsII and III! Freddie Mercury is no doubt one of the greatest Rock icons of the 20th Century, with a voice like no other. Brians guitar talent defies explanation (how can someone be that good?) and Roger and John are elements of Queen that could not overlooked - in truth and as the band themselves said they were Queen - not just 4 band members but a team, without any one of them the success would not have happened. QueenI is a tribute to the growth of rocks best known and loved band. A new generation of fans are again being introduced to Queen (albeit by 5ive) and the Greatest Hits Albums are a fine example of Queen at their best... Read review

Advantages: Classic after classic, and a genuine greatest hits album
Disadvantages: none

...This album is classic songs followd by even more classic songs. Who can argue with the line up. Bohemian Rhapsody, Dont Stop Me Now, Fat Bottomed Girls, We Will Rock You, Flash, Another One Bites the Dust, Play the Game just to name a few. Normally Greatest Hit albums are made up of some of the artists greatest hits, and the rest are saved for a Greatest Hits 2 album. But even though Queen have 3 greates hits albums, this one is by far the best. All their true greatest hits are in there. There might be only 2 or 3 songs on the whole album that even a non-queen fan might not know, the rest are fan favourites.... Read review

Advantages: Of many greatest hits of albums for Roxy this is the best

...This was the first of the Greatest Hits compilations which Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music produced. When originally released it contained 20 tracks as a double album but although each side of the LP had 5 tracks the running time was as little as 16-17 minutes for a couple of sides. The later version of their greatest hits (the CD ‘More Than This’ released in 1995) had a longer total running time on a single CD. Plus ca change. For me this album better defines the essence of good Roxy Music and, ergo, good Bryan Ferry. Don’t get me wrong I like Bryan Ferry as a solo artist but for innovation and inventiveness he was at his best when with the musical influences of Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay. It was the first 12 months of Roxy which was so new and fresh. There were one of a number of bands who grew from close associations... Read review
