CD Description
'Decade In The Sun' is the first "greatest hits" compilation from Welsh outfit Stereophonics. Featuring tracks taken from their six studio albums, five of which reached the top spot in the UK album charts, this collection showcases the band's rise from humble indie rock beginnings to the stadium filling band that they became. Highlights include the singles 'A Thousand Trees', 'Have A Nice Day' and 'Dakota' as well as the band's only 2008 single 'You're My Star'.

Customer Reviews

Not so sure
I love the band, I love the albums. Not a massive fan of this release. It's got the songs which you will hear on the radio, but to the fans who love the albums as albums, its not a great investment. Starting with the most popular songs and going down pretty much. Not how I would have ordered it, if anything, start with the oldest and then show the audio progression in the sound. The new songs are good, however, as anyone who has the You're My Star single, they will tell you that the b-side is their preferred track! Forever should be on there, and it isn't!

A good christmas present for a casual fan who likes hearing their stuff on the radio, massive fans, make your own playlists!

Best of.......Oh Yes !!!
You really do not need to say too much about this band, they have spoken for themselves over the years and, I might add, in a slightly understated way that has not been too much in our face, which is how it should be. One of the best and most balanced bands the UK has seen.

A great album packed full of great songs. To Stereophonics fans they will know what they are getting and will, I hope, buy this out of respect of the pleasure that Kelly and Co. have given us over the years. If you have had your head in the sand all this time and want to hear what the boys can offer then the 40 tracks that this album offers what what must be one of the best value music buys this ....decade !!

And the 2 new tracks "You're my star" and "My Own Worst Enemy" do not dissapoint with the latter being a great unexpected surprise in my opinion.

Trying to put a compilation together from such a back catalogue is never going to be easy and you are never going to get the exact choice to suit exactly everyone's taste. There are 40 songs there...to knock the album because it does not contain a couple of certain tracks that certain people might want is a little blinkered.

Stereophonics-You're are My Stars
What makes a good 'best of' album? A stomping romp through all the bands key songs which highlight their songwriting capability? excellent voices and musical abilities? The ability to take you back to each and every time you first heard their songs? YES.

Thats what I think, and that why I have given this album 5 stars.

The 18 tracks we know & love are on here (including Handbags which is a nice treat) and two new tracks, You're My Star and My Own Worst Enemy. Both great songs, YMS is well written and obviously from the heart about Kelly Jones' daughters, and MOWE is cowritten by Adam Zindani and Kelly Jones and is a rocking track which has become a firm favourite of mine.

I would highley reccommend this album for fans and non-fans who will become fan after listening to this.
