Format:Audio CD
Here it is, the NOW series' "greatest hits" if you may...
I am sure it was a difficult process picking the songs for such a milestone collection. You can not please everyone and there will be dozens of songs people will feel should have been there. Perhaps a 4 or 5 CD collection would have been a better idea to cover such a long period of hits. It seems that each CD in the collection is devoted to one decade of music, which is not a bad idea. But why not have the songs in their chronological order while you're at it?
To comment on the songs that are on it they are sure to bring back memories for people growing up in the 80s and the 90s. Most of the songs on here have become modern classics, the type of songs everyone will know by just looking at the title. Yet there are a handful of songs here I hadn't previously heard.
However, certain artists who were big during the last 25 years have been mysteriously omitted, like: Whitney Houston, Madonna (none of her songs have ever appeared on a NOW collection - possibly due to copyright issues), Prince, Mariah Carey, Meat Loaf, Cyndi Lauper, Celine Dion, Elton John, Janet Jackson...
My personal highlights on this CD are: "Every Breath You Take", "Thriller", "Chain Reaction", "It's A Sin", "Love Is All Around", "Wannabe", "It Must Have Been Love", "Nothing Compares 2 U", "You're Beautiful", "Patience" and "You Raise Me Up". These songs alone are worth the purchase. To have all these 60 handpicked gems in one collection is really nice, and it is so beautifully presented as well. A must have for any collector of the NOW series.

With The Now series you know what you are going to get, a collection of great and not so great pop tunes which have graced the charts, in this case over the last 25 years. Now 25 years is a collection 60 tunes over 3 CD's which have done exactly that. Can you have a favourite yes, are you going to like everything probably not but pop fans can buy knowing that this is going to offer variety and top ten tunes for every occasion.

I bought this box in order to keep it in my car and to be sure to get the possibility to listen to great music when I am bored by radio channels and I am satisfied.
