Now 8 is probably one of the better cds in the popular Now That's What I Call Music series, but there are a few tracks that should definitely have been removed and replaced with an artist as fun to listen to as Britney or Madonna.The songs by Joe, U2, and Fuel are definitely the weakest points in this collection. They are all painful to listen to...I had to fast forward through them to avoid having a nervous breakdown. "If I Could be Like that" almost gets the same reaction.The cd makes up for these yucky songs with some great songs like those by Janet Jackson, Mandy Moore, Aaliyah, Gorillaz, Jive Jones, Jessica Simpson, and Smash Mouth. I love the Now series because it give me a chance to own songs from cds that I would never otherwise purchase. For example, I like only one song off of the Gorillaz cd, so why would I ever buy the whole thing?Thank you Now that's What I Call Music.
