Released in close proximity to Rhino's The Very Best of Leo Sayer in 2000, 20 Greatest Hits -- released by the U.K.-based Repertoire label -- isn't much different, though it does contain four more selections. Like The Very Best of Leo Sayer, it contains each one of Sayer's singles that charted in the U.S. ("More Than I Can Say," "When I Need You," "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing," "Long Tall Glasses," "How Much Love," etc.) and is filled out with representative album material. Choosing between the two discs comes down to availability more than sifting through the minor differences. If you're going on the amount of content alone, this one wins. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

Use Somebody Kings Of Leon |
| When Kings of Leon were announced as one of the headline acts of Glastonbury last June, it was accompanied by a cloud of doubts. Questions about the bands legitimacy for such a prestigious slot were all answered when the Followill's delivered, what was for many, one of the highlights of the festival. As well achieving this milestone the band completed a sold out world tour and, in "Only By The Night", released one of the defining albums of the year. "Use Somebody" captures the band at their most reflective, revealing a desire to turn away from philandering ways and settle down. Could it be that the band's notorious womanising days are behind them? Whether the lyrical content is autographical or not is irrelevant, the track is just another example of how the band provides mainstream rock that doesn't, fortunately, fall into Snow Patrol territory. Anthemic without ever feeling overblown, "Use Somebody" is the sound of the band fully hitting their stride. Expect a sea of lighters when this gets played live and while you may feel a bit cheesy for complying, with songs of this standard it's perfectly acceptable. ©2008 Shazam Entertainment Limited.
