10. Ain't Nuthin' but a she thing - Various

Original Release Date: October 24, 1995
I'd say this is the first time I've ever listened to this cd. I only bought it for the great cover of "The Weakness in Me" by Melissa Etheridge. And yes, I would recommend tracking this cd down just for that one song. So the rest of this entry really relates to all the other songs....

Overall, I'm sure it's an ok CD if you like a few of the other artists on it, but I'm finding most of the tracks unbelievably boring and kinda painful to sit through. It sounds a bit dated listening over 10 years after release - maybe if I was listening mid-90s I might form a different opinion, but I know I was listening to very different music at that time so probably not.

I doubt I'll ever listen to any of the other tracks on this ever again, they just aren't my thing. I've never enjoyed Annie Lennox's solo work (while I do enjoy a lot of the early Eurythmics stuff) and most of the other songs fall into a similar style. The only two other tracks I'd consider not skipping past would be "Ain't Nuthin' but a She Thing" by Salt-n-Pepa, and "Cimarron" by Come - but that would only be if was otherwise occupied and couldn't be bothered finding the fast forward button.
