Avis sur le produitGreatest Hits by Eurythmics (CD, May-1991, Arista)

Annie Lennox & David Stewart Sing Sweet Dreams

The Eurythmics are Annie Lennox (vocals, keyboards) & David A. Stewart (guitar, keyboards). Annie Lennox's dark seductive voice and counter-culture beauty only add the necessary jazzing up of the non-traditional rock-art songs with which they experiment. On this greatest hits album Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder join in. Let's call this 64 minutes of Lennox and Stewart's musical mastery vanilla mystery in comparison to some of their more controversial music from their 1981 and 1984 CDS.

The duo has been called "English art-rockers," for lack of a category to put their music into. The near mono-tone straight-faced Lennox lead singing "Sweet Dreams" is what made their name in the beginning. The song and the artist projected an erotica that was becoming public and visible in bigger US cities, like Seattle, DC, Minneapolis, Atlanta, La Vegas, and NYC. Song's like "Missionary Man," didn't take much of an imagination to understand the hidden meanings thereof. In "Sweet Dreams," it was Stewart's and Lennox's special keyboard effects that sounded like whips that made their music intriguing to an emerging US sexual counter-culture; plus, Lennox's range of voice that went into songful screams of ecstasy.

Their music always seems to leave me wanting and questioning, "did they really say and play what I just heard?" If it's erotica, it's understated enough to draw me into it.Lire l'avis complet...

Eur gonna like it

Musically, I'm sort of stuck in the British invasion of the 1960s. But I'm not completely deaf, and over the years heard many ear-catching tunes from the Eurythmics, found myself singing along with Annie to the piped in music at the supermarket. This album gives me the chance to have the songs I already knew and liked at my command, as well as introducing me to others previously unheard, without investing in the band's complete oevre. Bouncing, energizing, a good listen.Lire l'avis complet...

Eurythmics Greatest Hits

Annie Lennox has the greatest voice of all times and the background vocalist is also great. I heard the song "Must have been an angel playing with my heart"playing in a department store one night and knew I had to have this. I went on line and found the song and the artist and purchased. I love this CD because it is pleasant to listen to.Lire l'avis complet...

Lightweight with very few good songs

This is a Greatest Hits CD, but to me it was not that great. The only good songs on this cd are Here Comes The Rain Again, Sweet Dreams and maybe a couple of others. I was disappointed because I was expecting to like most of the songs on this cd.Lire l'avis complet...

Everything I wanted in one nice package!

After I heard the song, "Who's that Girl" and "I Need a Man" I had to buy this CD. I also found the song "Love is a Stranger" on this CD. I did not know who sang that song. A pleasant surprise. I love the entire collection album! However, I had to buy the last album "Peace" to get my fix for the song "I Saved the World Today." I made a personal mixed CD of Annie Lennox and the Eurythmics, but I did not have enough room on one CD for all my faves. No matter I Love the Eurythmics so much I have to keep all the CD's handy.Lire l'avis complet...
