Advantages: Something For Everyone, Very good value for money

Disadvantages: You can't listen to the whole compilation in one go!!

I was too young to remember any of these hits released first time round, but being an inquisitive fan of music (old and new) I just had to buy this cd. It's a three cd compilation entitled 'Decades' featuring seventy of the very best songs from the nineteen-sixties, seventies and eighties. There's a cd for each one of the decades:-

Disc One (1960s)
This one is probably my favourite though it's hard to choose!
Amongst other songs it features:
Cliff Richard - The Young Ones (1961)
Gerry and the Pacemaker - Ferry Across The Mersey (1964)
The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations (1966)
Donavon - Mellow Yellow (1967)
The Small Faces - Lazy Sunday (1968)

Disc Two (1970s)
These songs are more familiar to me. for example,
Don McLean - American Pie (1971)
David Bowie - Starman (1972)
The Hollies - The Air That I Breathe (1974)
Steve Harley & the Cockney Rebel - Make Me Smile (come up and see me) (1975)
Blondie - Heart of Glass (1978)

Disc three (1980s)
Well, i suppose the eighties weren't all that bad:
Madness - Baggy Trousers (1980)
The Stranglers - Golden Brown (1981)
UB40 - Red Red Wine (1983)
Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me) (1985)
Pet Shop Boys - It's A Sin (1987)

Overall, it's a very good mix of classic pop, rock and roll, rhythm and blues, love, psychedelia and dance tunes - the stuff modern music is based on!!
I can't explain the whole cd -there's too much, but I really can guarantee that everyone will like at least one of the seventy songs (no matter how choosy they are in their musical tastes). Why not take at look at the track listing of 'Decades' next time you are in the record shop?!
