So Many Lost Opportunities Nov 19, 2009 Annie Lennox is definitely one of the most phenomenal female singers of the last thirty years. Daring, unusual, provocative, soulful and utterly unique, she has created a monumental body of work that is absolutely captivating. Whether it is vocals, harmonies, piano playing, visual interpretation or overall production, she is the ultimate Diva in the positive sense ofthe word with no negative connotations.
A Collection of her greatest input over the last twenty years was something I always wanted on cd and yet this collection is very disappointing, even over two cds and a dvd to boot.
The hits are here: WHY, NO MORE I LOVE YOUS, LOVE SONG FOR A VAMPIRE, PAVEMENT CRACKS, LITTLE BIRD etc but for two cds there is plenty of room for extra tracks like TRAIN IN VAIN, THIN LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE, LEGEND IN MY OWN ROOM, MONEY CAN'T BUY IT, HONESTLY, BITTER PILL, ERASED, even PUT A LITTLE LOVE IN YOUR HEART with Al Green. Instead we get somewhat predictable and rather formuilaic songs like A WHITER SHADE OF PALE, COLD, A THOUSAND BEAUTIFUL THINGS and SHINING lIGHT.
I do not know why MEDUSA is woefully under-represented especially as A WHITER SHADE OF PALE is the dullest track on the whole album. I CAN'T GET NEXT TO YOU, DON'T LET IT BRING YOU DOWN, DOWNTOWN LIGHTS, TRAIN IN VAIN, THIN LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE are all amazing interpretations that have stood the test of time. In fact THIN LINE... has to be, in my opinion on of the greatest cover versions I have ever heard.
I really think Annie should release a mmore comprehensive album than this
This is a very safe collection and rarely shows the daring groundbreaking Annie Lennox that we love
Awesome CD Oct 11, 2009 One of my favorite CD's of all time. I listen to it all the time.
Received within 4 days, new condition, very happy customer Aug 03, 2009 This supplier was very fast to ship, and the item was in new condition as stated. Annie Lennox is a premier artist of the 1980's and representative of UK music.
A very nice surprise Jun 16, 2009 First let me say that I am not a die-hard Lennox fan. I really know very little about her music. I bought this cd for tracks 2-4, which were the only ones I was familiar with.
But what a great surprise the rest of this cd was. Little Bird, Pavement Cracks, A Whiter Shade of Fade, Shining Light, Pattern of My Life, and Cold are all new favorites of mine. This whole collection of songs were a real treat to listen too. I am now quite a fan of Ms Lennox.
I'm sure diehard fans will find songs missing from this collection, but for a new listener, this set is quite amazing.
