Various Artists - Made In Britain
With the Queen's Diamond Jubilee currently taking place, and London 2012 fast approaching we seem to be a nation gone made with celebrating all things British. To carry on the celebrations Made In Britain showcases some the great British music created over the last 50 years.
The triple album hosts four Number 1 singles, 14 Top 5 tracks and 25 Top 20 singles from the past four decades. The track listings on the three CDs read like a who's who in British music, there is a great mix of artists on Made In Britain such as The Stone Roses, Oasis, The Who and Klaxons. Thankfully, One Direction have not made it on to this release.
All the tracks featured on Made In Britain are well known, this album is guaranteed to have you singing along and it would make the perfect soundtrack to any summer party; rain or shine.
The album has something for everyone; there are massive dance anthems in the shape of Insomnia by Faithless and The Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up, classic rock thanks to The Clash's London Calling and My Generation by The Who, not to mention recent hits such as Noah And The Whale's L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N and She Says by Plan B. Despite the eclectic mix of sounds on this triple CD set, the music flows seamlessly from one track to another.
It's yet to be seen how us Brits will fare in the Olympics, but even if we don't bring home the gold, thanks to this album we will all be satisfied knowing that our nation makes awesome music. Made In Britain is a must have for music lovers across the nation.
