Review: If you're not a Blink 182 fan the fact the American pop punk rockers put out a Greatest Hits album in 2005 might be quite surprising considering they only rose to international chart repute at the turn of the century. Delve into their story, though, and you realise by the time they put out this compilation - coinciding with their split and, in the label Geffen's words, "indefinite hiatus" - they'd actually already been going for more than a decade.
Nevertheless, it's impossible not to acknowledge that it was the landmark albums Enema of the State and Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, respectively landing in 1999 and 2001, that saw them really break into the mainstream conscious. As such, excerpts from that era, for example 'All The Small Things' and 'What's My Age Again?' represent the biggest hitters here, however it's hard to ignore just how infectious every upbeat, angst-laden track is.

Review: Bon Jovi's Greatest Hits is a definitive collection that captures the band's enduring legacy, now available on a double LP vinyl set. Originally released in 2010, this compilation showcases the anthems that defined Bon Jovi's first three decades and solidified their place in rock history. With hits like 'Livin' on a Prayer,' 'You Give Love a Bad Name,' and 'Bad Medicine,' the album is an example to the band's ability to craft unforgettable, arena-filling tracks. The vinyl release includes 16 tracks, offering a balanced mix of Bon Jovi's iconic 80s anthems and their later successes like 'It's My Life' and 'Have a Nice Day.' Each song is a reminder of why Bon Jovi became a staple in the rock genre, with their powerful hooks, relatable lyrics, and the unmistakable voice of Jon Bon Jovi. The album also features two tracks recorded specifically for this compilation, 'What Do You Got?' and 'No Apologies,' which blend seamlessly with the classics, that shows the band's consistency over the years. The selection on this double LP highlights the band's versatility, from the power ballad 'Always' to the anthemic 'Wanted Dead or Alive.' This compilation is a celebrating of rock music history.
Review: American hard rock band Guns N Roses are one of the most iconic to ever do it. Their Greatest Hits album is jam packed with smash hit after smash hit. Released by Geffen Records in part because of the delay in the making of Chinese Democracy, it came in 2004 amidst some infamous legal challenges from Axl Rose and former band members who weren't too pleased with its tracklisting. It got no promotion as a result but still topped the UK Albums Chart and no wonder with 'Sweet Child O Mine', 'Welcome to the Jungle' and 'Paradise City' all featuring amongst plenty more.
Review: A vibrant collection capturing the essence of the multi-Grammy Award star's storied career. Featuring iconic tracks like 'Complicated,' 'Sk8er Boi' and 'Girlfriend,' this compilation showcases Lavigne's knack for catchy hooks and rebellious spirit. The album traverses her evolution from angsty teen anthems to more mature, reflective songs like 'When You're Gone' and 'Keep Holding On.' Each track is a testament to her ability to blend pop, rock and punk elements seamlessly and, as such, serves as a nostalgic journey for longtime fans and a great introduction to new to the Lavigne party.
