Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > CDs from
by: Simon & Garfunkel

Release Date December 13, 2004

This is a good collection of Simon & Garfunkel's wonderful work, and a good place to start if unfamiliar with their music. However, I prefer their double disc 'Tales From New York'. That collection expands on what is here, particularly including some of their important early stuff, and is a better representation of the diversity of their music.

The Very Best Of Dolly Parton

CD-Charts > Music > CDs from
by: Dolly Parton

Release Date June 16, 2008
Has much has i Like Dolly Parton, I do wonder how many more times are her managers going to release her Greatest Hits & Best Of Albums.
I think she should come back and do something New!!

I brought Dolly Partons Greatest Hits back in 1999 The Album i have is a 2x Disc version With the same songs and same listings in the exact same track listing order has these 2 seperate Albums!! Why it has been Re-released has two seperate Volumes is beyond me, Especially when the version i have is still avalible to buy.

I have given this a 4 Star if it was a New greatest hits it would have got a 5 Star, However it isn't. And plus it's not Dolly's thought i blame the record company!!! :-)

Michael Buble

CD-Charts > Music > CDs from
by: Michael Buble

Release Date September 29, 2003
I have owned this CD for more than 3 years and it is still the best Buble has ever done. I saw him sing most of the tracks at Ronnie Scotts and even now my friends accompanying me that night still talk fondly of the occasion. At this bargain price (feb 2008) you cannot afford to be without it. Everyone will ask you who is singing it. It is just wonderful music. All the songs are beautifully arranged and exceptionally well sung. I listen to it again and again without tiring of it.

The Sound of Girls Aloud

CD-Charts > Music > CDs from
by: Girls Aloud

Release Date October 30, 2006
I will admit I was originally determined to hate Girls Aloud because I am against reality TV shows but song after song I found myself unable to stop listening. Now I am a huge fan and bought the Greatest Hits as I had not previously bought a Girls Aloud album. Every track makes me want to dance and sing into my hairdryer. My personal favourite are Long Hot Summer, Wake Me Up, Something Kinda Ooh and the unreleased track Money with it's hilarious lyrics. The girls lyrics are undeniably witty and sharp and nothing if not bold on all of their singles.

I play this CD whenever I am getting ready for a night out, Something Kinda Ooh is always the final track I play as it is my favourite party mood song. I have also found myself beginning to like some of the ... Read More:

Minutes To Midnight

CD-Charts > Music > CDs from
by: Linkin Park

Release Date May 14, 2007
If you are a massive fan of their old sound, of the Nu metal, then you should definitely avoid this album. If you are a music fan with an open mind then you should definitely purchase this. The sound that they have created is incredibly different. I really don't know why they changed that much. Once I like a band's sound I really don't like it when they try and reinvent themselves to change that, and that's exactly what Linkin Park have done here. I bought Meteora as my first Linkin Park album back in 2003 and I instantly loved it. The sound of the music was so unique, and to a 13 year old, pretty surprising as well. Meteora was the band's pinnacle and it is such a fantastic album. Then, after a couple of years of no activity from the band, I was highly anticipating ... Read More:

Tired Of Hanging Around

CD-Charts > Music > CDs from
by: The Zutons

Release Date April 17, 2006
To be honest, I did not think much of "Who Killed..." A couple of catchy pop tunes, for sure, but it was "bubble gum" music for the most part. This album remains true to the band's sense of having fun with their music, but it has a much more confident sound and the production is much improved. Touring the States with The Killers also seems to have rubbed off on how the band now sounds. Moreover, to their credit, the record again romps home in just over 40 minutes.

The themes are varied and frequently concern the more mundane aspects of life - the stress of taking public transport to work ("Tired of Hanging Around"), why good nights out always end in miserable hangovers the next day ("It's the Little Things We Do"), or getting over a relationship ("How Does It Feel?"). ...

You Really Got Me - The Best Of

CD-Charts > Music > CDs from
by: The Kinks

Release Date February 26, 2008
A really excellent Kinks collection. The whole CD drips with classy recordings from a hugely influential band. The price is a steal, the quality is uncompromising. A treasure trove of innovative British music, full of songs that surely require little or no introduction.
The Kinks made some superb music & a good cross section can be found here - you really would be barking mad not to get this, it's just ideal !

Definitely Maybe

CD-Charts > Music > CDs from
by: Oasis

Release Date March 06, 2000
Some debut albums are so good that the bands who make them can never quite better them-either they never make another like The La's or they spend years failing to produce a follow up like The Stone Roses. Definitely Maybe is one. Oasis have produced great music ever since of course-albeit sometimes inconsistently-but never on the sustained level shown here. One of the greatest albums ever made,by anyone,ever.

A Beautiful Lie

CD-Charts > Music > CDs from
by: 30 Seconds to Mars

Release Date February 26, 2007
I had previously noticed a band called 30 Seconds to Mars being advertised etc but had never actually listened to any of their songs until a month ago. The first song I hear was A Beautiful Lie...and I was hooked....since then I have bought both albums and have not regretted it.

Not only are their albums great but their video clips are brilliantly done. Jared Leto is a very talented actor/musician and has a genuinely brilliant voice which he displays not only on the albums but also live.

I would love to see them perform someday

Skybound

CD-Charts > Music > CDs from
by: Tom Baxter

Release Date January 07, 2008
The more you get into this album the more you realise that it has been exquisitely put together with songs about love and hope.

My only reservation about Baxter is his rather high pitched falsetto voice but there is no denying the poetical feel to the lyrics. This is rock music for the intelligent set. I have an interest in Baxter's work as he comes from Bungay in Suffolk - a town I covered as a young newspaper reporter back in the 1970s.

There is a jazz feel to many of the songs and there will be obvious comparisons with the voice of Jeff Buckley. Baxter doesn't quite have the tonal range of his American counterpart but he always writes literate songs within his vocal range. I have seen him live and he produces a much rockier sound.

That doesn't detract, ... Read More:
