3.0 out of 5 stars
Good, SHOULD be better., 12 Dec 2000
By A Customer
Without a shadow of doubt there are GLARING mistakes on this album. Robbie William's "Millenium" is ridiculously included. Just extra income for an artist who only wrote the song for 'Millenium' windfalls. "Angels" would have been an acceptable replacement, however there just should have been NO Robbie. What has happened to Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven", Crowded House's "Don't Dream it's Over" and Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"? And, I think the album needs a pinch of Elvis. Roxy Music's "Jealous Guy"? Shouldn't that be John Lennon's "Jealous Guy"? Or was this not allowed because he has already been mentioned once on this compilation. Are artists not allowed to have more than 1 song of the millenium or something? Didn't David Bowie do a better song than "Heroes"? Beautiful South, Texas, Pet Shop Boys? - Go home. Make way for Otis Redding's "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay", The Righteous Brothers "Unchained Melody", Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit", and Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams". Ok, enough of the bad points, the album is mostly full of top quality music. As has been said, this is a good attempt to produce an album of the millenium that tries to please everyone - which is hard. Though, if it was an album made to try to please everyone, it should not have been titled "Music of the Millenium", because unfortunately most people don't know what good music is. And for someone to get this many good songs on an album, they should not have ruined it with 'not-good-enough' songs. But, I would buy it at a reasonable price. (if I did not have most of the songs already)
