Advantages: A great collection of some of the bands best material Disadvantages: Everyone will have an opinion on tracks that could have made it
...the release of the first Greatest Hits collection from the Foo Fighters. Since the split of Nirvana, Dave Grohl has taken on many projects but the Foo Fighters are perhaps the one he will be most remembered for. Rather than being an end for the band thankfully this greatest hits collection is just satisfying part of their record deal and the band will be back recording new material in the future. One look at the track listing shows that they have ... ...rarity when it comes to greatest hit albums as normally there are a few dodgy choices but this seems to be the best showcase of what the band are all about. Former in 1994 after the death of Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain, the Foo Fighters have grown from a solo project by front man Dave Grohl to become one of the biggest rock bands in the world. It's been quite a journey with various different styles and approaches to each album but this greatest ...
Advantages: An excellent introduction to Journey Disadvantages: None
...I decided to buy their greatest hits album after seeing it on Ebay at a bargain price, and it has became one of my most played albums. THE BAND : Journey are an American rock band who formed in 1973 with former members of Santana, but they have undergone a few line-up changes since then. Steve Perry is the band's best known vocalist. He joined the band in 1977 and the band went from strength to strength into the 80's. Other band personnel over the ... ...have continued to tour.

...Oh, man. Journey's Greatest Hits. Back to the 80's we go. Back to mushy AOR, back to crushing power ballads. Conjures up images of a band wearing leather pants, curly perms and throwing (sorry throwin') shapes on stage, as thousands of people in the crowd do that stupid dancey/shuffle thingy that only Americans know how to do. "Journey, wooo, man they rock!!!" Considering this band, all of the above is true.
Most people who've heard of the band ... ...jazz-rock outfit (as did their contemporaries Chicago) before morphing into a 1980's AOR corporate monster (as did their contemporaries Chicago) and having a drippy-looking singer with a high whiny voice (as did....OK you know who). There is one difference though....Journey came from San Francisco and Chicago came from, well, ummm, Chicago.
Laugh if you will, but this is just sheer good fun. Take it from me there is nothing better than getting up ...
Advantages: Great songs and great singing Disadvantages: Still don't dig Eternal Life
...6 concerts in Jeff Buckley's Mystery White Boy tour make up this live album. My ratings are as follows: [*] - Nothing really catches the attention. [**] - Something grabs my attention. [***] - Gets me air-drumming, air-guitaring and singing along to the track. 1. Dream Brother Slow to start, and though in the buildup there is some laidback vocal improvisation, Jeff is having to squeeze hard for some of those falsetto notes. [**] 2. I Woke Up In A ... ...heavy, and the riffs dirty. [***] 3. Mojo Pin Solid but for the final bridge where Jeff slips into sheepish singing - however he does come on strongly for the finale. [**] 4. Lilac Wine As if Buckley has had too much to drink here, what with the guitar losing its way and his vocals being reduced to a croak at the end, though the improvisation in the singing is as strong as it is soulful. [***] 5. What Will You Say Similar to Dream Brother in that ...
Advantages: Lots of big tunes Disadvantages: Final Dance track
“My Kind Of Christmas” came out in 2000 and was the first Christmas album for the Pop singer Christina Aguilera. Coming directly off her debut album, which was then re-recorded in Spanish, it was released prior to her “Stripped” years and so has her in a position where she was much more accessible to the 'family' market. Here she mixes traditional carols with well-covered Christmas classic and some of her own original ones. 1.“Christmas Time” We ... ...that I felt made a strong impression as it shows that here she is down to bring an album that reflects how her debut album sounded with the heavy R&B influence, but she ensured that it sounded as though it stuck to the main 'Christmas' themes. It was one of only two singles from the album, and I felt that it was a nice way to get it underway. **Four Starr** 2.“This Year” We see that she comes in with another fresh tune (a non-cover) here and she ...
Excellent performance, tonnes of steam, ventilated ironing board (*)
