Thsi is a great CD that has been throguh my player many times. Every home should have one. There are tracks on here for the whole family; my Mum can sing along to The Monkees I'm A Believer, my dad can moan along to David Bowie's Space Oddity and my brother can, erm, rap, to Coolio's Gansta Paradise. I have very diverse music tastes, and almost every song I play I can sing-a-long to and enjoy. The first disc is brilliant, and I love nearly every song on it. There is a lot of good Motown and this disc comprises of really good 70's/60's/50's stuff. The second disc is the eighties and nineties, with a load of great eighties hits in the middle, including The Clash, The Jam, The Specials and the amazing Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Admittedly, there is some junk on there, including Groovejet and Boyzone. They are not pure classics. But the rest is so good and so all-round appealing that the rest of the discs make up for it. Just a shame that there aren't all hundred, that Lennon and that the Beatles aren't on their. They are pure hits. Adnd Otis Reading, but that's just a personal preference. Great.

This is perhaps the greatest CD ever released. It crosses many genres, with something for everyone. Where else would you find Queen, Abba, Marvin Gaye, Louis Armstrong, Robbie Williams, Fatboy Slim, Prodigy, Clash, The Specials, Coolio, Boyzone and, of course the one song from 2000 that was included in the showing: Spiller's fabulous Groovejet. I happen to like every song here, and if you buy a copy I can guarantee everyone in your house will like one song. It's a good guide for the "youth of today" as to what good "oldies" music is. And the adults may have always wanted to purchase some of these but have never found time, and in addition, this album is valuable for replacing the old vinyl albums you might have which don't play anymore. Every song is a classic. There are many omissions of course: I hope Virgin decide to bring out a 2nd Volume perhaps? So here it is, the ultimate compilation, ever - the sound of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and THAT track from 2000, which will live forever. Why does it feel so good?

You often find albums and even compilation albums have some dud on them, but this is what it say, Number 1s there are some really dodgy ones but they made it to the top, this is a brilliant album, and is hours of entertainment! One of my best buys!

It's great!
Why is everyone critiscing it? The songs on it are great - even Spiller i like although why a year 2000 song should make it onto the 100 greatest singles ever i don't know. Read more

Very Disappointing compared to the television showing.
I could not believe how few tracks were actually on this cd compilation. None of my favourites are among the 42 tracks listed and the ones that are listed appear nearly everywhere. Read more

this compiliation is a very good one for those who don't already have the song, personally i have a lot of the other ones anyway. Read more

Not as good as it should have been.
Why have a program listing the top 100 singles and then only include 42 of them? How were the decisions made which to choose? They're not the TOP 42, just an odd selection. Read more

58% disappointing
I was keen to buy this album as I thought the 100 listing was one of the best I've seen as it covers a good period of time and left out the usual crud voted for by teenagers. Read more

You should already have all these songs
then its great if you don't. But its just like every other compilation album but not as good. Not as good as music of milennium 1 or 2 for instance. Read more
