I must admit, I'm not exactly a fan or Tom Jones, but my sister already has this album and when I listened to it I just had to buy it. The man has an awesome voice and every track on this album is totally different. A good one to add to your collection!

The Very Best of Japan

CD-Charts > Music > Greatest Hits
by: Japan

Release Date March 27, 2006
Well, here we are again, happy as can be..... well, not quite as it happens.

For the umpteenth time since 1984, we witness the arrival of yet another Japan compilation, or should we say the best of their Virgin Records years. Quite simply, this compilation takes us, in recording terms, from late-1979 to late-1981. It almost completely ignores the band's Hansa material from 1977-1979, including classic cuts from their two 1978 albums such as the reggae-infused Rhodesia, the post-punk sounding Communist China, the moody pop of Adolescent Sex, the edgy Stateline and the epic Suburban Berlin. Sure, their earlier years were patchy, but there were some masterful highlights which have been purposely ignored here.

Other notable exclusions ... Read More:

Complete Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Greatest Hits
by: Gordon Lightfoot

Release Date May 27, 2002
There is nothing I can add to what has been said before.
I will admit that while I listened to radio 2 in the 70's-thanks mum & dad!- before I moved towards Joy Division & The Banshees I listened to your choice of music and I am extremely grateful for it.
"Daylight Katy" and "Sundown" are songs that stick with me now in middle-age as when I was young.
Bob Dylan was an icon for a generation but Mr Lightfoot caught my imagination when I was a nipper-listen to "If You Could Read My Mind" and tell me that Dylan wrote anything better and I would beg to differ....

Wave of Mutilation - The Best of the Pixies

CD-Charts > Music > Greatest Hits
by: Pixies

Release Date May 03, 2004
It isn't difficult to see why bands like Nirvana were so influenced by The Pixies.Songs based around a big thick bass sound with wailing,thrashing six strings crashing in with the chorus.Coupled with the high-pitched,screeching vocals of Charles Thompson, it all created a quite stunning effect.
If you are unfamiliar with or missed this wonderful Massachusett four piece during their brief six year career then this is the best place to start.
The Pixies musical styles are many and varied and this disc captures the very best of their songs from their four albums 'Surfa Rosa','Doolittle','Bossanova','Trompe Le Monde' and the mini-album 'Come On Pilgrim'.
The manic,frenzied assault of 'Broken Face',the chugging,menacing 'Bone Machine',the georgeous 'Where Is My Mind',the ... Read More:

At His Very Best

CD-Charts > Music > Greatest Hits
by: Robert Palmer

Release Date October 06, 2003
The only reason that this isn't 5 stars is because of the selection of material rather than a reflection on Robert Palmer's talent.

There are some iconic songs from the 1980's here & for anyone looking for some nostalgia or a feel for the music of that time this is good enough however, if you're a keen fan, you'll probably have most of it already.

You kind of get the feeling that he could & should have been bigger.

Recommended.

Time Capsule (Songs for a Future Generation): The Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Greatest Hits
by: The B-52's

Release Date September 26, 2005
Not every song is brilliant, but the gems make up for any weaker songs.

If you have young kids, I can guarantee they will love the brilliant "Flintstones" version.

The unmatched dance classic of "Love Shack" is pure class and is justification in its own right for buying this album.

In addition to the above two top-three UK smash hits, there are other gems on the album.

If you've never heard the wierdly brilliant "Rock Lobster" then you must ask yourself why not? - You will never hear a stranger or more infectious song. "Rock Lobster" was their only single to have charted in the UK top-40 twice (number 12 in the early 1980's and number 39 in 1979).

Their other popular top-twenty hit is the beautiful "Roam", which although not as insane as much ... Read More:

The Very Best of Nazareth

CD-Charts > Music > Greatest Hits
by: Nazareth

Release Date June 05, 2006
Nazareth like ther bands before Uriah Heep etc only found themselves the butt of many jokes by the UK press over so many comparisons with other legendary acts before they hit the scene but where warmly appreciated in the US and rest of Europe but this decent best of highlights the emotive tones in Dan McCafferty alcohol nicotened soaked vocals which swings from the rawk to the sensitive as highlighted on bad bad boy and love hurts combined with the effortless guitarsmanship from Jimmy Murrison, steady basslines from Pete Agnew and the effective drumming from the late sweet keeps the band in check which is no surprise they had celebrity fans in Axl Rose who covered hair of the dog for the patchy spaghetti incident album.
