Wrong category yes i know before you all start, but until Ciao gets updated Bonnie Tyler's greatest hits will remain here - at least i got the right person.

As a young person, people think im weird when i listen to Bonnie Tyler, but i dont care, i was brought up listening to her stuff and ive grown to like it, so here is my little insight into her "Greatest Hits" which is GREAT.

The songs on this CD are:

1 Total Eclipse of the Heart
2 Its a heartache
3 Holding out for a hero
4 Lost in France
5. Faster than the speed of Night
6. (The world is full of) Married men
7 Have you ever seen the rain
8 More than a lover
9 A Rocking good way
10 Goodbye to the island
11 Loving you is a dirty job but somebody's gotta do it
12 Straight from the heart
13 Bitter Blue
14 Piece of my heart
15 Making love out of nothing at all
16 My guns are loaded
17 Tyre tracks and broken hearts

So you get a fantasic 17 tracks, and i paid £9.99 for this album in WHSmiths and this album has to be played loudly and you can sing along, or sing like a cat being strangled, or whatever, its more of a rock album than a lovey dovey album despite the titles of the songs.

Introducing Bonnie - or is it Gaynor (the bit i left on word)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bonnie Tyler was born Gaynor Hopkins in Skewen, near Swansea, South Wales, on 8 June 1953 into a large family of three sisters, two brothers and her mother and father. Music played a large role in the Hopkins household and the young Bonnie grew up listening to and loving the Motown records of the era and the raw power of two singers who would have a huge influence on her future singing style, Tina Turner and Janis Joplin.

At the age of 17 "Gaynor Hopkins" entered a 1970 talent contest singing a song made famous by another Welsh girl singer with the same surname, Mary Hopkin (who was born in Pontardawe a stones throw from Skewen) . Gaynor sang "Those Were The Days" and won the second prize of £1.00 ($1.60), losing to a professional singer.

The Album again
******************
And back to the album, most of these songs are well known and have been around for longer than ive been on this planet and now they are all combined on one album which is fab.... So get out there and buy it and do Bonnie proud.

This CD includes some of the best work ever done by Bonnie and it a sure fire winner for the 21st century, a classic piece of work by an artist who deserves to have a GREATEST HITS album, unlike some other artists.
