Nothing But The Number 1's Of The Sixties Seventies And Eighties - Various Artists

Advantages: A good selection of songs
Disadvantages: the song selections could have been better

...Hindi film songs saw the golden period in the 50's and the 60's, after which the quality steadily deteriorated.The 50's had it all...The best Composers,Singers,Lyricists etc etc; truly a GOLDEN PERIOD..the sixties continued to be as good .... By the seventies the lyrics and the tunes became loud and the singing style matched the whole set up.By the eighties and thereafter the music had lost all charm except that the sound quality and other technicalities improved, whereas the songs themselves left you cold and longing for those good old songs of the fifties and sixties and even the early seventies...

...Cold Feet was a wonderful series for any thirt-something bored with their marriage, job, friends or just life. The soundtrack was released soon after the start of the series and shows the wide range of music that fitted the varying themes in the show. Later acts include Fatboy Slim, Space, Republica and Pulp.
