Crossroad: The Best of Bon Jovi

CD-Charts > Music > Greatest Hits
by: Bon Jovi

Release Date June 18, 1999
This album is simply amazing. Nothing gets you more pumped up for a night out than listening to hit after hit from the big man. I live in an apartment and on two occasions the neighbour downstairs had to call at my door to ask me to stop playing this album so loud. On the second occasion they fell asleep pushing the door bell for at least 5 minutes. To be fair it was 3 o'clock in the morning and I was pretty leathered!

Anyway, this album will bring out your air guitar playing, karaoke singing, head bashing best. A must-own...

Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Greatest Hits
by: Guns N' Roses

Release Date June 02, 2008
Now I am a massive Guns `n' Roses fan and have been since about the age of 10 when I first heard Paradise City, I then went and got all of their albums from my local music store. Now the problem with this CD isn't the quality of the songs, tracks 1-9 and track 11 are fantastic, but...

1) Irrelevant because it isn't even a greatest hits. Some of the tracks are extremely poor and have no place here, for example `Since I Don't Have You', `Ain't it Fun', `Sympathy for the Devil' and `Live and let Die'. Now although these songs are good when you consider some of the songs not included on this so called greatest his such as `Estranged', `Breakdown', `Rocket Queen', `Don't Damn Me' and `Dead Horse' the songs included have no place on this CD.

Mothership - The Very Best Of (2CD)

CD-Charts > Music > Greatest Hits
by: Led Zeppelin

Release Date November 12, 2007
I spent my youth in the 70's listening to Abba and Boney M. Now, in my 40's, I buy this excellent CD and realise what I missed. For others like me I recommend this album, 'Hammer of the Gods' by Stephen Davis (which tells their unbelievable story entertainingly), and videos from their gigs in the 70's from youtube.

The Very Best Of

CD-Charts > Music > Greatest Hits
by: Aerosmith

Release Date June 30, 2008
Yep, Aerosmith have released many many greatest hits albums. I think this one has the best mixture of tracks of the lot though, a range of all their hits starting from way back. Some fantastic songs.
Highly recommended if you've only heard a limited amount of Aerosmith music, as it'll give you the pick of the best of the rest, and you may well decide to look into their more obscure stuff.

Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Greatest Hits
by: ZZ Top

Release Date April 13, 1992
I think that ZZ Top are a very good band and they remain one of my favorite bands of all-time. this is one great collection and they made great blues music in the 1970s and the 1980s. here are my comments about most of the songs. GIMME ALL YOUR LOVING this is a really great song and is my 2nd favorite song on the entire cd. SHARP DRESSED MAN this is pretty great too, but probably my 5th favorite. ROUGH BOY is a ballad that is too slow and too sad for me. TUSH is an excellent blues rocker remains one of my 5 favorites on this album. MY HEAD'S IN MISSISSPII is a blues rocker one of my favorites, PEARL NECKLACE not my fave, IM BAD IM NATHIONWIDE this is pretty good although remains as a 10th favorite or something. I AINT CRAZY ABOUT VIVA LAS VEGAS, DOUBLEBACK is a pretty good hard ... Read More:

Somewhere Back In Time: The Best Of: 1980-1989

CD-Charts > Music > Greatest Hits
by: Iron Maiden

Release Date May 12, 2008
If your after an introduction to Iron Maiden then this is about as basic as it gets. First you're getting just the 80's stuff, none of their later classic songs, and even then this is a limited selection.

There is a reason many Maiden fans speak fondly of Maidens first best of. "the best of the beast", it was the first and the song selection was truly "on the money". However subsequent Greatest Hits packages (of which there are many) including "Ed Hunter" and "Edward the great" have all lacked what the original had. In particular Edward the Great was an abysmal selection, missing many great songs.

Somewhere Back In Time is likely to sit third behind the gimmicky Ed Hunter package (a silly PC Game included, but a halfway decent selection of songs).

Best Of

CD-Charts > Music > Greatest Hits
by: Def Leppard

Release Date October 25, 2004
I only recently discovered Def Leppard after hearing the tracks 'Animal and 'Let's Get Rocked' on the music channels, both of which I loved, so I decided to give the greatest hits album a try. And I was blown away by the new tracks I heard, especially the emotional rock ballads 'Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad', 'When Love And Hate Collide', their most successful UK single, and the US number 1 'Love Bites'. These are my personal favourites, and I seem to have them on constant repeat. Other good songs include the more mainstream rock songs 'Animal' and 'Let's Get Rocked', as well as the songs 'Hysteria and 'Heaven Is'. In fact all the best songs feature on their hugely successful albums 'Hysteria' and 'Adrenalize', so a hardcore fan might prefer to get hold of those rather than this compilation. ... Read More:

The Very Best Of The Jam

CD-Charts > Music > Greatest Hits
by: The Jam

Release Date June 18, 1999
Whatever people tell me about the ramones: i always say that these guys defined punk music. Still today The Jam is a classic band that will always have a place in my album collection. This CD however is overdoing everything. Punk rock albums are usually very short and having to listen to 20 songs that do all sound extremely simmilar can get tedious. More than this I believe that punk bands very designed for live performances: they had a great attitude to live acts which made them amazing to listen to. The CD takes the heart out of this genre and for that i mark it down. Also there are a few songs could have done without.
