Soca Gold 1999 - Various Artists

Advantages: Great mix of songs and artists.
Disadvantages: Not always the best of the bands hits.

...As a child born in the 80's I have come to adore the music of the time, I'm always on the lookout for a good compilation CD and happened to spot this one during a shopping trip in Asda. Flipping the CD over to look at the track listing my eyes were drawn to one track and I didn't need to read the rest to know I had to have the CD. Capital Gold Eighties Legends contains songs by just that, 80's legends. There is a wide variety of artists providing a wide range of styles from pop to rock, Motown style and funk. It is a 2 disc CD providing 40 great 80's tunes. Because it is an 80's compilation, and most of us would have either heard the songs or heard of them, I wont go into a track by track description, that would spoil the fun of going out to buy the album and getting the know the songs yourself. Disc One- Disc one is packed... Read review

Advantages: A big album with lots of hits
Disadvantages: Steps split up so this will be the last album

....) ****************************************************** 15) HERE AND NOW. Starts off suddenly with a strong intro. Then more accompaniments come into the song, to make the verses soft, but the chorus strong. Recorded in 2000, it lasts for 3 mins 26 secs. My rating is 91% ****************************************************** 16) SAY YOU'LL BE MINE. Starts with instrumental accompaniment shortly joined by some vocal accompaniment. Sadly, this is one of Steps' older songs that isn't well known or isn't a favourite song as much as the other songs by Steps. Recorded in 1999. Lasts for 3 mins 31 secs. My rating: 78% ****************************************************** 17) ONLY IN MY DREAMS. As do quite a few songs, of various artists, this song starts off with the title being sung. If you don't know what I mean (even after hours of explaining) then I suggest you buy the CD... Read review

Advantages: Many different types of rock and fantstic artists - the best of 2006 and 2007
Disadvantages: Could have more hardrock artists in and and second CD hasn't as much good artists in

...A fantastic CD with lot's of different kinds of rock. The best bands of 2006 and 2007 put in one CD. Artists like Snow Patrol, Razorlight, The Fratellies, The Arctic Monkeys, Automatic, The Ordinary Boys, The Killers, Keane, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, The Kooks and the list goes on. Has two CD's and has 40 tracks, 20 on each CD. Has new up coming artist such as Wolfmother. has many artists winners from the Brits: The Killers who won best national CD and best national band, The Arctic Monkeys won best British CD and best British band. The Fratellis won an award too and many more Brit award winning artists. A fantastic purchase well worth its money. A great buy. I recommend definitely to people anywhere between 8 and 100 if they enjoy that kind of music. It even has some live performing artists such as 'The Arctic Monkeys' on tour... Read review
