Rating: - * Backstreet Boys \"The Hits\" CD ... I knew the artists and their songs had been played via pop radio. I reviewed the song epcerts prior to purchasing the CD, just to make sure that it was recorded in the format that I was seeking to listen to. The CD arrived in the condition it was stated to be in by the seller and I have been happily listening to it since I received it. Anyone who remembers the Backstreet Boys top hits will certainly enjoy this CD being added to their collection of music. Rating: - * they are my favorite. ... No matter whether you like the band or not, their singing and use of harmony, is beautiful for anyone to enjoy!! Rating: - * These guys are legends ... This album is the best, you have all the great songs from the BSB. Everybody knows the songs compiled on this album, every songs are a hit. These guys really fit together, they have good vocals, great harmony and they have fantastic arrangers, musicians and composers behind them. I still like the song "Quit Playing Games", I still love listening to it. I also like "The One" it's a fast song though, something you can dance along something catchy. i love the song "The Call", I love the intensity of the song. I just love the arrangement of it, it sounds so exciting like you are waiting for somethinf more on the song. "Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely", "Shape Of My Heart" and "Drowning" are really good mellow-down songs, these songs are so melodic. Something you would enjoy listening to at night before you go to sleep. Hahaha! This album for me is like having an album of the Beatles that you will nver get tired listening to. It could be something that you can keep anywhere you go. Try this one, you will certainly love it. Rating: - * Review ... The CD was not new as had been advertised. I felt conned after receiving the item Rating: - * These 40 years old \"boys\" ... BSB' and Britney (many more by these are the prime evils) need to be put on a "no talent not worth S*IT" rockship and fired into the sun. The word "Hits" on this package is laughable. It should be called "The Hit's: that 14 year old girls like" |

The real joy of the set, however, is nine NBA playoff games presented as they were originally broadcast and almost in their entirety. They last about 90-100 minutes with TV introductions and post-game interviews, but minus halftime, commercials, and some slower moments. The games include such absolute classics as the game in which rookie Magic Johnson started at center in place of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and the 1987 "baby hook" game against the Boston Celtics. If you're used to watching current NBA games you might be tempted to just skip to the end, but it's surprisingly rewarding to watch the game develop, to watch the game's superstars strut their stuff (or see a couple of 1972 reserves named Phil Jackson and Pat Riley), and to observe how radically the sport has changed over the years. Variable picture quality and technical glitches are unavoidable (even the 2002 game looks washed out), but this is the first time complete or nearly complete NBA games have been available in the home-video era, and they probably still look better than the VHS tapes you've been saving over the years. Yes, it'd be easy to argue about which games from the Lakers' long history should have been included, and the highlight videos don't have a ton of replay value, but the NBA Dynasty series is a major milestone in archived sports. --David Horiuchi
