Can't seem to find this topic anywhere else.
Got my copy a few days back. They seem to be better and better. What do you think?
It also got me on to thinking about samples of tracks ie/ Elton and Tupack, Nelly, "The Avenue" etc. One part of me says be more original, the other well done and congrats for bringing old tracks to life - some of which were not well-known or album tracks in the first place.
Full Version: Now 61

It can also bring through new artists. Dido, for example, pretty much broke in the UK because she was sampled in Eminem's track Stan.

In which case I'd have to say sampling is a bad thing
<runs>
Between Dido, and M&M( 
), I'd rather play Dido.
I too bought Now61 - ideal for gathering together a selection of current and recent (and recent-ish) tunes in a double CD.

I got it too, but I have to say Dido does nothing for me, all her output is monotously similar, whereas Eminem seems to vary his a bit more, and seems to break new ground a bit more.
I can't remeber getting request from poor ol' Dido, but I do get loads for Eminem.
