[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 446028, member: 8"] I'm not picking anything from the second album [I][B]I've Been Expecting You[/B][/I]. The hit singles [I][B]Millennium[/B][/I], [I][B]Strong[/B][/I] and [I][B]She's The One[/B][/I] are decent songs and still very recognisable today. I just discovered the original version of She's The One by World Party and it sounds a bit better than track from this album, but if Robbie hadn't covered it then maybe I would never have heard this song at all. Maybe that sounds like a compromise but that's what compromises are for. My favourite track is [I][B]Karma Killer[/B][/I] which just misses out on being an Essential Robbie Williams song. There are some interesting John Barry tones in it and I think it sounds funnier than the straight sample in Millennium. Similarly, I don't think [I][B]Supreme[/B][/I] from the [I][B]Sing When You're Winning[/B][/I] album [U]needed[/U] to incorporate the hook of [I]I Will Survive [/I] because the inspiration for the music is obvious. It's only used once - probably to add a "break" or a moment of variety - and it doesn't have a negative effect on this cracker of a hit single. [B][COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]Essentials # 2[/COLOR][/B] [MEDIA=youtube]ULTtWUZhD9c[/MEDIA] The interesting thing about [I][B]Rock DJ[/B][/I] is that it's a disco song that's not a disco song. There are many more disco songs that are not-rock-songs (e.g. Amii Stewart's [I]Rocky Woman[/I]). It sounds inoffensive to me, it's not a Robbie Williams song I'd choose to listen to but if it happens then it's fine. I guess you can't mention Rock DJ without mentioning the video. The body horror looks awesome (imagine being the unsuspecting viewer watching it for the first time) but Robbie's strip routine looks daft and cringe. But then again, has male stripping ever looked cool? [/QUOTE]
