Very Best Of All Woman, The (The New Hits Collection) - Various Artists

Hits or misses?

Advantages: 18 number 1's!
Disadvantages: Some of the tracks are a bit crap

Music was very hit & miss during the 1990's, I must admit I didn't care for very much released during the decade but occasionally got caught up in the hype of a few songs now and then. Primarily for me I spent the 1990's protecting the free world (6 years in the RAF) as well as listening to 80's music although enjoyed some of the electronica offered by the rave & acid scene at the time. This album is a collection of 39 tracks all of which were in the UK charts above the top 5 position. Its 2 cds (with 20 tracks on CD1 & 19 tracks on CD 2), all chart positions are UK Singles Chart positions. So whats on the album? Disc: 1 1. Discotheque - U2 (was #1, 1997) To be honest this wasn't one of U2's better songs but fan power got it to the #1 spot. 2. Let Me Entertain You - Robbie Williams (was #3, 1998) Probably one of Robbie best known ...

George Benson - Jazz Master

Advantages: Amazing vocals, guitar playing, strong melodies
Disadvantages: Sadly a tendency towards blandness

to the Warner label and released his first mainstream hit, "Breezin", an instrumental, before finding his voice and a chart run that lasted for 10 years in the US and UK. Ever the jazz performer, Benson frequently used scat vocals in his songs and his vocals would frequently echo his guitar playing, a feat I personally found particularly impressive. The Album "The Greatest Hits of All" is the definitive George Benson collection, and one that features songs that still receive a fair amount of airplay today. Not everything Benson did was jazz however, as this review will show, but I felt that his best work had more than a hint of it within. "Give Me The Night" The closest to a disco song Benson ever did, this was released in 1980 and was a top 10 hit on both sides of the Atlantic. Produced by Rod Temperton, you can hear echos ...

Review of Very Best Of George Benson, The (The Greatest Hits Of All) - George Benson

Urban Renewal (The songs of Phil Collins) - Various Artists

Advantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs
Disadvantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs messed up

. Add a few scratches and a rap and you have this Gotta Hold Over Me - Coko. Poor song. In my opinion Coko isnt the most gifted singer and you can tell on this track. Not one of Phils greatest and not one of Coko's either I Dont Care Anymore - Kelis. Produced by the Neptunes, this is a harsh track with an 'I Hate You So Much Right Now' shouty feel to it. You would either love or hate this Cant Turn Back The Years - Joe. Not to disimilar to the original and it works. The best track on the album, Joes voices gives this tune so much credit. It really does work. Quality Do You Remember - Debelah Morgan. Poor again, she has a good voice and it comes through but the production is not great and its a big let down Against All Odds - Montell Jordan. This is worse than the Westlife version. Its just not very good One More NIght ...
