Greatest-Hits Albums: AC DC - Greatest Hits
1 recommendation
"One of the greatest rock bands ever! Brian Johnson's voice is amazing and soo much fun to sing along with all the songs! Almost everyone knows and enjoys "You Shook Me All Night Long" and "Diry Deeds Done Dirt Cheep" So you cannot go wrong with this CD"
Will Smith - Greatest Hits: Will Smith
2 recommendations
"I mean this CD is easily one of the best ever. Will Smith is a genius."
Bruce Springsteen - Greatest Hits
5 recommendations
"My husband has a love for Bruce Springsteen that I may never understand but so does the rest of Norway. Tickets for his last concert in Norway sold out within a matter of minutes and he was so kind to add another show for his fans. Hubby has been listening to The Boss since his youth and owns almost every album and single release that you can think of but oddly enough does not own his greatest h..."
Elv1s 30 #1 Hits: Elvis Presley: Music
1 recommendation
"I can't believe this is only nine dollars on amazon! This is a wonderful collection of 30 of Elvis' #1 hits which includes songs that weren't previously included on the first collection. The tracks have all been remixed from original master and some of the songs have never sounded crisper and better. If you're a diehard Elvis fan you might be slightly disappointed by this fact but for the avid ..."
Spice Girls: Greatest Hits
1 recommendation
"Mel B used to be part of the SPICE GIRLS... remember "if you wanna be my lover"? And now she's the co-host of "The Singing Office" which ThisNext auditioned for. Big Step up? Wish us luck!"
Reel Big Fish - Greatest Hit...And More
1 recommendation
"Reel Big Fish is so full of energy. They will have you dancing in no time! I especially love Sell Out and I Want Your Girlfriend To Be My Girlfriend Too. Enjoy the exciting sounds of this Orange County band!"
The Offspring - Greatest Hits
1 recommendation
"These guys went to my rival high school (granted it was years and years before I was there). I see them at the local mall, weird - their music is awesome and authentic OC styling."
iTunes Store: The Psychedelic Furs - Greatest Hits
1 recommendation
"I saw "The Psychedelic Furs" live in concert at Radio City Music Hall when I was still in college. I had nosebleed seats but I was thrilled just the same. Whenever I hear "Pretty in Pink", I look back, enjoy and feel incredible gratitude for all that I have learned since then."
iTunes Store: Pat Benatar - Greatest Hits
1 recommendation
"This recommendation is dedicated to my son, who is desperately trying to play "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" perfectly on "Guitar Hero III." It's hard for him to understand what a thrill it is for me to watch him enjoying the same music that I listened to not so very long ago. But Pat rocks. Always has. Always will."
iTunes Store: Journey: Greatest Hits
1 recommendation
"I dated someone not too long ago who absolutely loathed "Journey" . . . and I never mustered up the courage to tell him that I actually owned one or two of their albums. So, here's my big chance. I like "Journey" and I love every single song on this album. Wow. That's a relief. I may be alone while doing it, but I can finally listen to these songs with a clear conscience."
iTunes Store: John Mellencamp - Words & Music - John Mellencamp's Greatest Hits
1 recommendation
"I remember reading several years ago that John Mellencamp's original record album required him to change his professional name to "John Cougar". Apparently, "Mellencamp" just didn't sound quite right to them. So, I am almost as pleased to see him resuming the use of his real name (without the "Cougar") as I am to listen to these many great ballads of his."
Greatest Hits: Guns N' Roses
2 recommendations
"It's hard to remember sometimes, ut before Alx Rose went completely off his rocker, he helped contribute to some really enduring rock songs. Yes, at times they epitomized what was bloated and wrong about 80s excess, they also produced some undeniably good tunes. Some of them are not written by them, also true, but the Rolling Stones covers on the album do transform the song instead of slavishly ..."
Intersections 1985-2005: Bruce Hornsby
1 recommendation
"This box set was included in the ticket price when I saw Hornsby in concert the other year. It's a great box set I discovered though, packed with material from throughout his long career. He's great in concert as well, with terrific banter between himself and the audience. If you ever get a chance to see him perform, I'd take it in an instant."
iTunes Store: Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam
1 recommendation
"My appreciation for "Pearl Jam" was reawakened when I saw the movie "Surf's Up" with my son last summer. "Big Wave" was one of the big hits on the soundtrack, and it made me marvel at all the time that had passed since I last listened to any of their music. Well, lo and behold, a greatest hits album now presents itself to me ! I even love the cover and, if I go for broke, I will be able to enjo..."
iTunes Store: Violent Femmes - Permanent Record: The Very Best of the Violent Femmes
1 recommendation
"Well, here we find truth in advertising. The band's name is raunchy, their sound is raunchy and the lyrics are pretty darn raunchy too. But, you know, sometimes you are just in the mood for that kind of blatantly honest assessment of life's bleaker moments. Just like a blister in the sun."
iTunes Store - Styx: Greatest Hits
2 recommendations
"Just teetering on the edge between pop and rock, Styx released so many great hits during my pre-adolescent days that I cannot help but listen to them with that same twinge of angst and longing that dominated my internal life at the time. But it was also a time of being on the edge of I-knew-not-what and hoping that my life would be some kind of wonderful. Styx was the fuel for many of those dayd..."
iTunes Store: ABBA - ABBA - Gold - Greatest Hits
1 recommendation
"I was not a huge fan of ABBA until the movie "Muriel's Wedding" was released in 1995. The scene in which Toni Collette and Rachel Griffiths donned ABBA-ish costumes and sang "Waterloo" to a thoroughly unappreciative crowd of vacationing Australians completely changed my view of the band and the music (and made me laugh uncontrollably throughout the performance.) Memorialized yet again in the Bro..."
Carly Simon - Reflections - Carly Simon's Greatest Hits
1 recommendation
"I recently learned that Carly Simon has always struggled with stage fright. It just amazes me that someone as stunningly beautiful with an even more stunningly beautiful voice could ever be afraid of performing on stage. But she is human after all. It's easy to forget that when you see the incredibly long list of songs that she has sung . . . and that have found their way into movies, commercia..."
Lynyrd Skynyrd: All Time Greatest Hits
1 recommendation
"Thanks to the movie "Elizabethtown", I was reminded of my love for Lynyrd Skynyrd. And I am thrilled to find that iTunes has this 14-song tribute that includes a 14-plus-minute version of "Free Bird". Be still my soul."
Joe Jackson - Greatest Hits
1 recommendation
"It's hard to believe how many eras and genres Joe Jackson covers in the course of a single album. He rocks, jives, shimmies, grooves and fox trots his way through a series of hip, happening songs. He starts off strong with "Is She Really Going Out With Him" and finishes with a wish to be "Nineteen Forever". Just a really fun album."
Helen Reddy - Greatest Hits (And More)
1 recommendation
"Another classic from my eight-track listening days, Helen Reddy's voice is every bit as strong and beautiful as I remembered it being way back then. Although one of her song's was closely associated with the feminist movement ("I Am Woman"), the song I truly treasure is "You and Me Against the World." They should sell a box of tissues with your download."
iTunes Store - A Flock of Seagulls - Platinum & Gold Collection: A Flock of Seagulls
1 recommendation
"Okay, so the hair is over-the-top and the name sounds more like a book title than a band name, but there is no denying that the "Flock" enjoyed more than a few days in the spotlight. And for good reason, I believe. "Space Age Love Song" will always get me on my feet (unless I'm driving, of course.)"
iTunes Store: Missing Persons - The Best of Missing Persons
1 recommendation
"Perhaps you had to have lived through at least some of the New Wave era to truly appreciate the music, but I hope that you will take a listen even if you missed it. "Missing Persons" was one of those New-Wave-only bands, but the music is fun and funky that I will always have a place for it on my hulapod."
iTunes Store: Thompson Twins - Greatest Hits
1 recommendation
"Of course you realize that the Thompson Twins are far from twins but the name has been merely an asterisk compared to the enormous library of hits they produced as a threesome. Sadly, I do not yet own this compilation but someday my Twins will come . . ."
Elton John - Elton John: Greatest Hits
1 recommendation
"This album, released in 1974, is a true greatest hits album, representing all of Elton's chart-toppers up until that point. And this is my favorite Elton compilation. I know he's done so much more since, but I love the original "Crocodile Rock" and "Your Song" and "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me"."
Greatest Hits: David Gray
1 recommendation
"Although I can't with good conscience say that this greatest hits album is complete, it is still one heck of a collection. If you're new to David Gray this is a fabulous starter to boost your appetite."
James Taylor - Greatest Hits
2 recommendations
"I am proud to say that I choreographed my very first solo dance to "How Sweet It Is." I would like be able to add that it was the dance that launched a career in dance, but, sadly that has not been my fate. But James Taylor remains a favorite."
Carole King - Her Greatest Hits (Songs of Long Ago)
1 recommendation
"My first "real" boyfriend gave me Carole King's "Tapestry" album as a gift, and I listened to it over and over and over again after he went back to boarding school and I returned to my life as a public school girl. I'll never forget him. But Carole King has been a far more reliable "friend" . . . and she never broke my heart. She does make me dance, though. I think most people would agree it's..."
iTunes Store: Lenny Kravitz - Greatest Hits
2 recommendations
"I remember when Lenny first arrived on the music scene many critics compared him to Jimi Hendrix, but, thankfully, he became a force and a voice entirely of his own making. Having seen him in concert, I am also impressed by what an incredible entertainer he is . . . and by the fact that his drummer is an equally dynamic she. I have no favorites on this album . . . I love every song !"
