A truly sacred album!.......2007-07-27

Well I think greatist hits are not what fans usually like or expect because either they don't have their favorite songs or the fact that they are breaking up their band to start a new life. I know UFO is one of the biggest influential bands from the late 70's even one of my favorite bands of all time helloween was influenced by UFO. I took a chance on buying their golden hits album and they didn't seem to sound pretty heavy but still they gave the best perfomance kinda like soundgarden a little bit. The guitars bass drums melody were perfectly good and I heard LIGHTS OUT was one of their best songs which I think they should have added to their hits album. For a first time owner of UFO I decided to go with their golden collection.

Nowhere Near the Best Of.......2007-03-19

This is nowhere near the "Best of" as there are too many classic UFO songs missing. This is merely a selection of a few greats and an overview of the Paul Chapman era when to be honest none of the songs featured would ever make a true best of selection. Check out "Essential" for a more realistic best of collection for the period. Better still buy the Live "Strangers in the Night" album, which is excellent value and has all you need to start to appreciate a great band.

Best compilation.........2006-05-31

Better than the previously released "Essential" compilation CD. This was a great band that never got the respect they deserved in America. If you want to own a real good overview, then this CD would be it.
I would also recommend "Strangers in the Night" their double live LP from around '79 that captures them at their finest. One of the best hard and heavy live albums of the 70s.

Best single-disc collection of UFO tunes.......2006-03-26

UFO, while practically unheard of in America, were gigantic in Europe during the mid 70's to early 80's. When someone mentions hardrock from this time period, most people will talk your ear off about Led Zepplin, Deep Purple, Rush, Van Halen, Ted Nugent, Black Sabbath and other high-profile, mainstream rock bands people went ga-ga over. You won't, however, hear much or anything at all about UFO, a band from the U.K. that had a certain ace-kraut guitarist and a heavy drinking lead singer, especially in this country. Too bad, because UFO has all of those aformentioned bands collectivly beat IMHO. UFO:Gold is probably the single best disc you can own from this band, if you can only own one at all. Other then *Force It*, thier albums had their share of filler material to go along with the "hits", so this solves that problem. Also, unlike *Essentilal*, this covers the underrated Paul Chapman-era.

This CD covers all the albums from 74' (Phenomenon) to 85' (Misdemeanor). Here is the list of songs that made it off of each album.

-PHENOMENON- (74)
*Doctor Doctor*
*Rock Bottom*

-Force It- (75)
*Let It Roll*
*Shoot Shoot*
*High Flyer*

-No Heavy Petting- (76)
*You Can Roll Her*

-Lights Out- (77)
*Too Hot To Handle*
*Love To Love*

-Obsession- (78)
*Only You Can Rock Me*
*Hot N Ready*
*Pack It Up (and go)*

-No Place To Run- (80)
*Young Blood*

-Wild, The Willing And The Innocent- (81)
*Lonely Heart*
*Long Gone*

-Mechanix- (82)
*Let It Rain*

-Making Contact- (83)
*When Its Time To Rock*

-Misdemeanor- (85)
*This Time*

A awesome collection of songs from UFO, the most under-rated band, EVER! Everything you need is right here on this disc. Rock on, and thanks for reading.

UFO - 'Best Of UFO:Gold Collection' (EMI).......2006-02-26

As I listened to this 16 track compilation,I noticed at just how many of these tunes I didn't know by name,but I recognized them by their riffs.'Best Of UFO...' gathers some of the British metal band's better known material from(I'm guessing)1974-83.Cuts I was digging the most were "Doctor Doctor","Only You Can Rock Me"(so THEY'RE the ones who originally did this song)"Shoot Shoot","Rock Bottom","Hot 'N Ready" and "Young Blood".Worthy of many repeated plays and a true keeper.Recommended.
