Swinging On A Star (His Greatest Hits Of The 30's And 40's) - Bing Crosby

The Cure - Greatest Hits

Advantages: All the best songs in one place
Disadvantages: Not worthwhile for the aged-old fan

channels and maybe it does get the odd bit of 'extra' airtime. (E.g. "Close To Me" being on a BBC Three programme...it's name escapes me, but it may have been the 'Smoking Room'? Answers on a postcard...) Their 'greatest hits' album, released in 2001 through Fiction Records and only done so on the basis that Smith could choose the tracks himself is 19 tracks that show a chronological tale of the band and their music through the years. (Although two of the tracks are brand new!) Opening track "Boys Don't Cry" was released in June 1979, eight years before I was born. Yet with it's instantly recognisable guitar riff it's something that the countless bands since then that have idolised and 'taken influence' from the Cure could take the rest of time to improve on.

Nasty Nas and his Great Hits

Advantages: Most of the hits
Disadvantages: Some big tracks missing

a title, he is fully-deservant of having a 'Greatest Hits' collection in his name. Tracklistings ---1.

Interstingly NBA star Chris Webber prouced this track and I am impressed by the quality of the music, because it seems to fit in well with the artist and it looks good for him to have found a mainstream MC to ride his beat. **Three Stars** ---2. "Less Than an Hour" (feat. Cee-Lo)--- Album From: "Rush Hour 3 Soundtrack" Year: 2007 Length: 3:16 Producer(s): Salaam Remi This is the most modern track ...

Review of Greatest Hits - Nas

The Greatest Greatest Hits Album

Advantages: Great tracks old and new
Disadvantages: None

I am a big fan of Whitney Houston, I think she has a beautiful, moving voice that has not been beaten since. I have already done a review on her first album, Whitney Houston but by far my favourite album of hers has to be Whitney, The Greatest Hits! Just a little background on the queen of pop herself incase you haven't heard of her: Whitney Houston was born on August 9th, 1963 and is an extremely successful recording artist and actress. She comes from a very successful family and upbringing, her aunt is Dionne Warwick and her godmother is Aretha Franklin. Music was in the blood and she starting singing gospel music in her local church at aged 11. In the words of Clive Davis, written on one of the booklets that comes with the CD's, "For the next generation, there's a singer that combines the fiery gospel of Aretha Franklin ...
