Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Some good, some bad.......2005-09-18

Mostly 70's/80's music with some real winners and some real losers, maybe more of the latter depending on your musical tastes. Most are name artists, but I find it hard to believe that these tracks were all "No. 2 Hits" as the title implies. No. 2 on which list, you might wonder.

Great selections by Peter & Gordon, The Hollies, Kenny Rogers, Blondie and others. But it's about one and a half CD's worth of good music padded out to three CD's. I found this at the local library and was glad I had not spent $20 on it. I recommend you buy this on sale.
