5.0 out of 5 stars Artist for the New Millenium, September 21, 2000

Joan Armatrading is without a doubt one of the greatest singer/songwriters of the Twentieth Century. Her soulful lyrics combined with catchy tunes have been a mainstay on the edge of popular music since the early 1970s. THE BEST OF JOAN ARMATRADING: THE MILLENIUM COLLECTION is her third US greatest hits collection, following TRACK RECORD and GREATEST HITS. The CD contains her near-hits such as "Drop the Pilot" and songs featured on recent movie soundtracks, such as "Willow" from BOYS ON THE SIDE and "The Weakness in Me" from TEN THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU. It's hard to create a greatest hits collection from someone whose career has spanned nearly thirty years. There are a number of songs I wish had been included such as "Moves" from SECRET SECRETS and "Dark Truths" from THE SHOUTING STAGE (both of which are now out of print), but I am not complaining. I'm just anxiously waiting for a collection of new material. Joan is truly an amazing artist, and this collection contains some of her best. There is also an English import with more selections.

Many complain that the budget-friendly 20th Century Masters CDs are too short and do not cover enough of the artists' career. In some instances, that's true. But I think Joan Armatrading's collection in the series is superb. It does a good cross-section of her work at A&M and includes her most popular songs including "Willow," "The Weakness in Me," "Drop the Pilot," "Love & Affection," and "Me, Myself & I." It also includes one of her best - and most unique - tracks: "(I Love It When You) Call Me Names," a disturbing yet catchy song about a sadomasochistic relationship.

I also own Armatrading's "Gold" collection, but at two CDs, that collection is, in my opinion, too long. I prefer this compilation because it gives you the best of the best.
