DECADES - THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION summarises the music of each decade from the 1950s to the 1990s - one per CD!
The 1950s disc delves into classic rock'n'roll (Everly Brothers, Johnny Kidd & The Pirates), rhythm & blues (Ray Charles, The Coasters), and pop (Bobby Darin, Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers). CD2 covers the 1960s and the remarkable breadth that the decade produced - from The Monkees to Marmalade, from Sam & Dave to Sonny & Cher, and The Drifters to The Searchers.
The 1970s are captured on the third disc: be it disco favourites (You Sexy Thing, Young Hearts Run Free), glam rock (Tiger Feet, Ballroom Blitz), reggae (Everything I Own, Uptown Top Ranking), or joyous pop (Hooked On A Feeling, Love Is In The Air) - it's all there.
CD4 features the 1980s and huge hits by Rick Astley, Duran Duran, a-ha, Kylie Minogue, Madness and Tina Turner, whilst the final disc rounds off the collection with the 1990s: Groove Is In The Heart, Love Shack, Return Of The Mack, and Rhythm Is A Dancer are just the tip of the iceberg.
With 100 tracks across five discs and five decades, this is the best of the best.
