Companion to 30 number one hits
• • • • • (bewertet mit 5 von 5 Punkten)
The track selection for the first volume (30 number one hits) was easy and nobody could really argue with it although there wasn't room for all the number ones. Those omitted (I want you I need you I love you, I got stung, Little sister, Rock-a-hula-baby) are included here. However, unlike the first volume, the selection here is not purely based on chart positions although many big hits are included. I agree with this, as some classic recordings (including That's all right) would not get in otherwise. Nevertheless, many big hits (UK or USA or both) and other classic tracks are missing - enough to fill a third volume.
Beginning with That's all right, this collection includes many Elvis classics. Blue suede shoes and Always on my mind are perhaps the most famous but there are many others here. Among the others, my favorites include Wear my ring around your neck, If I can dream, Memories, Don't cry Daddy, An American trilogy, Promised land and Moody blue. I'm sure you have your favorites and they are likely to be different from mine.
There is something for everybody here - hard rocking songs, tender ballads, country songs, soundtrack songs, mid-tempo pop songs and even a patriotic song (American trilogy).
If you've already bought 30 number one hits, you'll love this too.
