CD 2 seems to feature a few big names who's hits didn't do quite as well as expected and a few dance/garage hits. Notable names on CD 2 include Robbie Williams (Let Love Be Your Energy) and the Stereophonics (Mr. Writer) as well as the brilliant Coldplay (Don't Panic). For the dance fans there are the hits from Sonique (Put A Spell On You) and Safri Duo (Played-A-Live). This CD does not have all the big hits of CD 1 but provides an alternative to thoose who are not really fussed on pop music.

Great opinion, i like the way that you showed the track listing so i can see what's on there straight away but also how you gave a little added information like chart positions and your favourite tracks.:0)keith
Advantages: Some excellent rock ballads are present on this album. Powerful vocals throughout. Disadvantages: Bryan Adams has recorded better albums than this.
