So Soulful 70's - Various Artists

Advantages: Memories of the eighties
Disadvantages: None

...I bought this CD at the same time I bought the 70s CD as in my previous review. The cover is basically the same design as the 70s CD but instead of brown it is pink and blue circles. Although I liked the 70s CD I suppose the 80s is more my thing as I had just become a teenager in 1980 and was starting to appreciate music more, there are a lot of great memories on this CD for me and some I would rather forget lol such as hair do's and clothes etc. Its funny as when I was a child I used to hate it when my parents brought out their old records from 50s and 60s etc and used to cringe now I am afraid it is my son who cringes when I play 70s and 80s music how old does that make me feel lol. Track Listings 1. Duran Duran - Is There Something I should Know 2. Midge Ure - If I was 3. Kraftwerk - The Model 4. Spandau Ballet - True 5. Marc... Read review

Advantages: Good mix of somewhat newer and older classic songs
Disadvantages: Not sure if all songs fall into the 'love' category

...I've often tend to steer well away from compilation albums as I prefer to stick to albums by one artist. However, this album offers songs that go back decades such as the head-bopping Regulate by Warren G and the beautiful, soulful voice of Angie Stone. It's a shame that the likes of Warren, Angie and Fugees are dangerously close to the likes of Eamon and JC Chasez but at least they're both in the first cd! The good thing is that the good songs outweigh the bad songs so it's not a complete waste of money. As soon as I heard California Love, the cd won my heart...but just a little. A good mix and some decent songs to make babies to as long as it's not 'Fuck It ( I Don't Want You Back)'! ;-)... Read review

...I got this album because I was sick of buying singles and hunting down other tracks that I liked, and they seemed to be on different ones, which is quite peculiar for compilations records these days! It features artists such as: All Saints, N-Tyce, Lutricia McNeal, Shola Ama, Aretha Franklin, Kristine Blond, Robyn, En Vogue, Zhane, Deni Hines, Aaliyah, Erykah Badu, Tina Moore, the list just keeps on going. There aren't many not-so-good songs on this album, I think you'll find it really good and groovy! The Sisters of Swing and boys of swing records are good ones to collect, they often feature songs that aren't on the satndard compilation Cd's.... Read review
