Though not their first-ever career survey, Rush's Spirit of Radio compilation is an ideal point of entry for newbie fans or anyone who consistently likes the Rush songs most often heard on commercial radio. While 1990's Chronicles set was more encompassing--including tracks beyond Spirit of Radio's '87 cut-off point--the Canadian prog-rock trio's benchmark moments are represented among these 16 songs. Hence the appearance of "Closer to the Heart," "Tom Sawyer," "New World Man," "Time Stand Still," "Fly by Night," "Subdivisions," and the title track. --Kim Hughes

5 out of 5 stars The Spirit of Radio, the hits of Rush.......2007-02-02

Well, pretty self-explanatory here, A collection of Rush hits from 1974-1987.
Rush has three decades of music to sift through so with "The Spirit of Radio", it's a nice collection of hits from their earliest studio albums up to the late eighties.

I enjoyed the double CD set "Chronicles" that they released in 1990 which was also a nice hits package, but this is still something to savor. Old classics like "Working Man" are still as energetic a listen as when I first heard them, and the song I myself think of them the most by which is "Fly By Night" is on here as well. Jump to track three and you will experience the eclectic and timeless space overture known as "2112 Overture/Temples of Syrinx" Syrinx clocks in at over six minutes long and has a lot of depth in musicianship and instrumental prowess. The ever poetic "Closer to the Heart" is a woeful and powerful single that is another gem on the album. "The Trees" is another classic that is a creative song with a lot of meaning and a killer guitar solo. "The spirit of Radio" is a pick me up and graciously stages Neal Peart's drum expertise at the forefront. "Freewill" is another old friend that is clever in its lyrics and has some dark tones to it amidst a range of great sounds and melodies. The emotional opening of "Limelight" takes you further on the journey of hits and is one of my favorites with Geddy Lee forging ahead with vocals that evoke various themes and thoughts.

Track nine is "Tom Sawyer", perhaps the most popular FM Radio hit the band had from the album "Moving Pictures". Along for the ride (no pun intended) from that album is also the Futuristic sci-fi theme of "Red Barchetta" which is about a boy in a strict government dominating future that has "car laws" and as you listen you experience the day he takes his uncles hidden car for a ride. The powerful anthem of "New World Man" glides in at track eleven and is one of the more ambient songs from the bands later material. "Subdivisions" is as dire as ever and has an intro that one cannot miss. The pop synergy of "Distant Early Warning" is on here as well, followed by another FM staple in the catchy track known as "The Big Money".

The album rounds out with the epic track "Force Ten" that is fast and fun, and although I was never a big fan of the song, still has enough staying power to definitely be included on here. The sonic "Time Stand Still" comes in as track sixteen and has some amazing changeups in tone. Heartfelt in the chorus, Time Stand Still is the perfect song to end this masterpiece collection with.

If you even "like" Rush, you should look into getting this album. Thirteen years of various songs that make for a sound and complete hits package for perhaps what could be called the "First Half" of the bands tenure. I wasn't sure at first about getting a CD like this of the bands material since I already had several studio albums from over the years, but I got this delivered today and definitely don't regret it now. They are one of the most innovative and artistic rock bands of the past thirty years, so how could you go wrong?

5 out of 5 stars A comprehensive compilation.......2007-01-14

It has all the songs I was looking for. If you are a fan of Rush, this is actually a no brainer.

4 out of 5 stars "Catch the spirit" of Rush! Good for beginners. .......2006-10-29

This is a fair representation of their work from 1974-87. Some fans may argue that there are some tracks not on here that should be. Never mind them. If your serious about buying some of their music this is as good a place to start as any.

What are you waiting for?! Pick it up, put it in and let it spin!!

5 out of 5 stars HA!!! FED UP MAKES ME LAUGH!!!.......2006-10-26

please tell me that fed up guy is a joke. did he seriously give an nsync album 5 stars?!? that can't be real. no one actually LIKES nsync. anyway i don't think it needs further explanation. if u are into nsync then this album is probably not for you, if you on the other hand like authentic classic rock and perhaps one of the greatest things to ever come out of canada then this album is for you!

5 out of 5 stars Good clean fun.......2007-06-04

I love Jerry Clowers. So many of his stories remind me of the things my dad says he and his brother did when they were kids. If you're looking for something the whole family can enjoy, I recommend Mr. Clower. "The She-Coon of Women's Lib" is particularly funny.

5 out of 5 stars The best of the mouth of the south.......2007-02-03

If you want real family entertainment that even the kids can listen to, this is what you want. Jerry Clower uses funny not profanity to entertain. His characters are people, not made up imaginary characters. They live in his stories and if you close your eyes you can almost see them. He is the southern counterpart to Bill Cosby.

5 out of 5 stars Funny.......2007-01-19

I bought this item for myself. Jerry Clower is classic funny. You dont have to be Southern to understand the humor. It is good for the whole family. No bad language and no sex in his act. I have listened to this CD many times and I still laugh.

5 out of 5 stars great clean fun!.......2007-01-18

Timeless humor, good clean fun. You will be laughing out loud as you listen to these wonderful stories and thoughts on life!

4 out of 5 stars Musical Progression.......2007-01-17

Bruce Hornsby started his radio career off with a couple of songs containing pertinent lyrics and catchy tunes then delved deeper into his musical roots and played with the instinct of a soulful jazzman. Radio hits goes some way to encapsulating his musical progression.Great cd if you're a Hornsby fan, although the first half should appeal to all listeners.

4 out of 5 stars Great CD - Old and New Together.......2006-11-10

You forget how many great songs Bruce Hornsby sang, wrote and co-wrote with others. I especially liked the first 8 tracks which are most of his Greatest Hits of the 80s. What a great sound he and the Range had. He has such a talent tickling the invories and it is refreshing to hear it all again.

5 out of 5 stars By far one of the best CDs I've ever listened to........2006-02-25

There aren't many Cds that I say have good or great songs all on the single disc, but this is an exception. This is one Cd I actually don't get tired of listening to on a daily basis.

4 out of 5 stars The best of Bruce?.......2005-11-14

This is a fairly straight forward collection, and basically is just his "Greatest Hits". The obvious are all here, "The Way It Is", "Mandolin Rain", "Every Little Kiss", and "Valley Road". These most recognizable hits are all early in the disc, which was of course his most popular time. The tracks since are still great, however many of them reflect more of his interest in jazz, or the time he has spent with the Grateful Dead. It's also interesting to hear his own versions of "End Of The Innocence" and "Jacob's Ladder", songs made popular by Don Henley and Huey Lewis. My only complaint is the absence of "On The Western Skyline", but since everything else here is remastered, I'll forgive. Overall, listening to Bruce Hornsby......that's "The Good Life".

Amazon.com

Favorite topics on this collection of Weird Al classics include food and medical problems. Superstar Michael Jackson gets sent up twice: "Bad" is transformed into "Fat" and "Beat It" becomes "Eat It," a hit in its own right. Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" is turned into a paean to potatoes, "Addicted to Spuds." And Los Lobos' version of the durable "La Bamba" is reconfigured into "Lasagna." Madonna's "Like a Virgin" becomes a song about a different kind of beginner on "Like a Surgeon," while James Brown's "Living in America" is parodied on "Living with a Hernia." If you want to take a funhouse mirror trip back to the 1980s, Greatest Hits is a good way to do it. Produced by rock & roll veteran Rick Derringer, who rocked out with Johnny and Edgar Winter and produced Meatloaf and Kiss. --Fred Cisterna

Well, what can I say? I love to have a couple of funny CDs in my car, when I plan on a longer road trip. It helps me stay awake, to listen to some really fun-poking songs in between...
It is unpretentious and hilarious... for the price, you can't go wrong if you like a little musical chuckle or a good laugh from time to time...

One last thing, where is Slime Crechers from Outer Space, his best song?

4 out of 5 stars A good master of parody pop.......2005-07-15

I still think that Weird Al Yankovic did the best parody of a Michael Jackson song in Eat It, his take of Michael's own Beat It. Although it's 58 seconds shorter than Beat It's 4:17, it has quite a lot of energy for it's 3:19. It has that garage rock feel going for it. It has been his most recognizable song because of the Michael Jackson familarity and it came when Thriller was still red hot one year later. Yankovic has had a strong several years of doing parodies of some of the most overplayed pop songs that some people get tired of hearing 4,158 times on the radio. And in most cases, he's quite good. His humor is so on point on all of them. Even in the current low-carb, watch-what-we-eat world of 2005, Eat It from 1983 really fits well in today's times. The rest of the songs are fun and catchy too. He still includes accordion in most songs. And Yankovic's albums have gone gold every time, proving that some people still like his parody pop. This compilation demonstrates what he does best.

4 out of 5 stars Weird Al is not losing it!.......2005-01-01

I've read all over in reviews that say that Weird Al is just not as good as he used to be! I disagree! My friend got me into him and some of his songs I like, for instants: "Amish Paradise", "Lasagna", "Eat It", "The Complicated Song", and "The Day Santa Went Crazy"! Others- I just don't care for! Personally, I think know that we're in the 21st century, and people are listening to a lot more crude music, this is the guy to write a song, funnier and cooler with that parody! I'm not a big music fan, but I can tell you one thing- I'd pick Weird Al, over Simple Plan or anyother hot bands out!

The disk was all I expected. As might be expected, the reording and my memory were different. The difference was good, however.

4 out of 5 stars Big Fun.......2006-12-28

I was so happy to find this. The family spent some great times together listening to the 78's. My Dad was a HUGE fan! I wish he were still around to listen to the CD quality. Mom and I had a great time reminiscing. I do have (1) very minor disappointment... I was used to and liked better a different version of "Hawaiian War Chant" it was my favorite as a kid. This one is much "quieter"

5 out of 5 stars Yesss!.......2006-02-22

A lot of thanks to Ted Hering, who pointed out a lot of amazing, interesting details (such as the Hawaiian War Chant being the early version, but with a better sound than the Harlequin version,which I own too),especially because those details DO NOT FIGURE on the CD itself! Which means that, looking at/in/around the booklet, one might say: "Oh, I already have those!" Really brillant sound quality, as close to the original studio sound as possible. Great selection, great engineering! And indeed, as I stated some time ago reviewing another Spike Jones CD: if only we could find a "Carmen" in THIS sound quality. Where? When?

5 out of 5 stars pre rock and roll anarchy!.......2004-12-25

Oh man, is this great... funny, wild, and even a little dangerous. Spike Jones was rock and roll before rock and roll... and he hated the form! Hated it. Which is too bad, because he seems to have planted some of the seeds for its birth; thumbing his nose at the high brows, total disregard for convention to name a few.
As for the music... Paul Frees's recitation of "My Old Flame" is so funny AND horrific it makes Eminem look like a wimp. Yes.
"Der Fuehrer's Face": listen to how the line "Superduper supermen" is delivered to find out what Spike and gang REALLY thought of the Nazis.
Doodle Weaver is THE secret weapon of Spike's arsenal. His performances on "Dance of the Hours" (at the Indy 500! Weaver's imitation of passing cars is so precise) and "William Tell Overture" (as a horserace, what else?) will live on long after we're gone. The only quibble is "Dance" comes on before "William Tell" and it really should be the other way around. Why? I don't want to spoil your fun; buy it and find out.
"Ya Wanna Buy A Bunny" is hysterical! Lots of great stuff on here, but my fave is "Chinese Mule Train". Racist as anything, true, but fall down funny (so I guess I'm going to h-e double hockey sticks...).
A warning: this is one of those cds you will either think is the greatest thing you've ever heard, or you will absolutely loathe it. There is NO middle ground. I hope you will think the former.

5 out of 5 stars Timeless Musical Mayhem and Madness !.......2004-08-16

o.k. two of my faves are missing from this one... LAURA, and Spike Jones version of Carmen.... also interestingly, the versions are different than the ones on some other CDs currently available... but who's to complain... ? Spike Jones is Spike Jones and he was brilliant... What cracks me up is the way he can go from playing a tune so straight that you'd never guess that a few minutes later midgets'll be jumping out of tubas, air raid sirens going off, and all mayhem will be breaking lose. In fact, I love seeing the reaction of people who might really get into the "straight" intros to the tunes, and their face change colors when suddenly the madness begins. - - as "cornball" as some of the comedy is, some of it has a level of surrealistic irreverance and musical calculation that i takes the music to level of high art... I mean... Its one thing to fire shotguns in the air, break glasses and belching... but to have the band doing it in perfect time and key ? No wonder FRANK ZAPPA actually sited Spike Jones as a primary influence in his autobio... and he wasn't the only modern musician who's been influenced by Spike... I'm a straight Jazz organist... I recorded a new CD recently... I do a very NORMAL version of LAURA, but the truth is, in my head when I was playing it, maybe the other musicians were hearing Charlie Parker's version... but whenever I play LAURA, or even MY OLD FLAME its Spike I hear !

5 out of 5 stars Weird Al Is ..........2007-07-11

Like a Harley Motorcycle, if I need to explain Weird Al, you'll never understand.

He spares no gendre, and levies parody and satire with harmony and rhythm on all targets of opportunity.

Since I dislike some of the things he "re-invents", some results are disinteresting to me. Overall, I consider him money and time well spent.

Mock on!

5 out of 5 stars The Perfect Greatest Hits Set!.......2006-02-18

This is exactly what I was looking for. I have the Weird Al Ultimate Video Collection and after watching most of the videos, I instantly knew that I must have "Headline News," "Smells Like Nirvana," "UHF" and "Christmas at Ground Zero" on cd! This has all of them AND MORE!!! So don't spend tons of cash on the other albums when you can have almost all of the best from the early ninetys right here on one disc. BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!

2 out of 5 stars A couple of chuckles - but that's it.......2005-09-20

Weird Al's CDs don't usually get stocked in this part of the world, so I came to this on the basis of his reputation and having heard a couple of his better known songs. I was sorely disappointed.

First of all, Weird Al isn't really that funny. Sure, he's amusing in a sort of 'this is something the whole family can enjoy' sort of way, but he's not edgy and he doesn't take risks.

Furthermore, he doesn't even really bother with most of these songs. I don't know if this is meant to be a genuine 'greatest hits' or a hilarious parody of the greatest hits format, but I'm shocked if it is, because a lot of these 'songs' are mish-mashs and melodies, with very little in the way of coherence or humour to recommend them.

Anyone with a functioning sense of humour should look elsewhere. Perhaps there are better Weird Al albums, but I don't plan to waste any more money finding out.

(The two stars are for the two chuckles I got from this)

5 out of 5 stars Good Great Better then most.......2003-09-03

i think this is a great cd to get if u like weird al and u want something diffrent because i combineds some of his greatest hit in the 80 and 90 but if they just combined greatest hit 1 with 2 in stead of two it would be better then before because then u would hav fat, eat it and dare two be stupid and other great songs smells like nirvana, jurrasic park, christmas at ground zero, yoda polka ur eyes out, bedrock anthem and head line new aare all 5's and this is the life,Uhf,andachy breaky song are 4 in a half and everything else is a 4 ovarall i give it a 5 it is in his top3 cd's his best is running with sciccors and most of his old cd's r the best but his newwer cds r very good!!!!! but not as good as his older cd's i hope this reiwew help u and
WEIRD AL ROCKS!!

5 out of 5 stars The best of "Weird Al" from the "short hair" days of yore..........2003-07-09

If my wife were to tell me that on the next cross country trip I could only take one "Weird Al" Yankovic album my choice would be between "Running with Scissors" and Volume 2 of his "Greatest Hits." We get two more tracks this time around and while I am sure every single one of us would like to replace several of tracks with what we would consider better choices (I always skipped "Achy Breaky Song," just like I did the original), that is always going to be true with any "Weird Al" hits collection. But on the plus side "Smells Like Nirvana" is a recognizable classic, "You Don't Love Me Anymore" is the best original composition Yankovic ever wrote, and "Polka Your Eyes Out" is as great a polka medley as exists in the canon of Western music. The other parodies cover the current spectrum of American music. Yes, "Weird Al" does not take on the gloved one or the Material Girl this time around, but anybody that can rewrite the lyrics to songs by both the Kinks and the Red Hot Chili Peppers is a master of the form for my money. Besides, on this one I knew all of the originals and my kids were stumped by "Jurassic Park" (although how do you really make fun out of a song about leaving a cake out in the rain?). I know it is really not fair to complain that these "Weird Al" hits collections are better than his albums (who is that NOT true for?), but there are just so many people who skip the regular albums and wait for the next hits collection to come down the road. I would think that Volume 3 should be out before the next Star Wars movie.

What can I say other than this is a great CD. Beethoven was a master and his music will live forever. Altough I don't like every single symphony he composed, I love all the pieces on this album. These selections have "fire and passion," and I listen to them over and over again. Enjoy!!

Even though he's suffered through some bad scripts and an ill-advised singing career and been eclipsed by a younger generation of black comics (like Martin Lawrence and Chris Rock), Eddie Murphy remains one of the most important--and funniest--standups to come along since Richard Pryor. This album reminds you why. At his best, Murphy is wonderfully inventive and accessible. There are some excellent old bits here: "Drinking Fathers," "Ice Cream Man"--plus some rare, unreleased routines from Murphy's New York nightclub days. This CD is an excellent addition to any collection; Murphy's impression of James Brown is worth the price alone, as are lines like, "What the f*** does 'gooney-goo-goo' mean?... Gus, your wife is a Bigfoot!" -- Michael Gerber

5 out of 5 stars Good CD but some great material was left out..........2007-03-08

This is a good CD if you need some Eddie in your life. However, being a die-hard fan of Eddie's since his SNL days, I was disappointed to discover the first track is not the entire "Barbeque" bit that was on the "Comedian" album ("Delirious" VHS). It was chopped off and only contained Uncle Gus setting Charlie on fire, "Roll Charlie around, he'll be alright." Then it fades off into track 2, the rest of the "Barbeque" bit ("Goony-Goo-Goo" "Your wife is a big foot, isn't she Gus?") which is titled, "Drinking Fathers." Huh? This is the way it should have been: the first track should have been "The Barbeque" in its entirety, then track 2 should have been the actual "Drinking Fathers" which was released on Eddie's very first CD. It is just hiliarious. Also left out from the first CD was Eddie's bit about his senile grandmother always asking, "What time is it?" and "Why it's so cold in here?" Hiliarious. The song "Enough Is Enough" featuring Buckwheat and Little Richard was also left out. The first CD is out of print so it's usually expensive when you do find it. Luckily, my brother has the tape so I copied his.

The rest of the CD is fine but they could have left off "Old Jew", "Buckwheat", and "Grandma Klump" and replaced them with one of the bits I mentioned above. I wish "Raw" was available on CD but unfortunately, it's not. They do have "C----' Hard" from "Raw" on this CD but that's it. It sounds as if it was recorded at a club maybe because it is not the exact same, word-for-word bit that's on "Raw." However, it is very funny, maybe even funnier than the one used on the VHS version.

Like all greatest hits compilations, they always seem to leave some good stuff out. Whenever you pick up a greatest hits package, why is it that "your song" is never on there but the one you weren't so crazy about is? These are really not Eddie Murphy's greatest hits, but they are great and well worth the purchase.

5 out of 5 stars eddie murphy the one and only.......2005-04-09

this is a great collection of some of his greatest comedy skits. i love all of these bits he does on this album it really rocks. eddie has always been my favorite stand up comedian. like i said he is the one and only he is one of a kind. like a few others i to wonder why they left some of his other hits of of this album? there were some more i feel should have been on here aswell. like the shoe throwing mother. and some others. well all in all im still happy with it. its worth the buy if you are into eddie murphy style comedy. this is the one for you. thanks for your time. hillybilly katz.

5 out of 5 stars HILARIOUS!!!!.......2004-06-07

I LOVE THIS CD. IT IS FUNNY. I LOVE EDDIE MURPHY; HE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE COMEDIANS OF ALL TIME. I ENJOY HIS COMEDY AND I ENJOY HIM. EDDDIE HAS SOME OF SIGNATURE JOKES ON HERE: ICE CREAM MAN, FAGGOTS, HIT BY A CAR, AND MANY MORE BUY THIS CD IF YOU ENJOYED EDDIE IN THE 80'S THEN YOU WOULD DEFINITELY LOVE THIS CD!!!! BUY IT !!!

4 out of 5 stars Still Funny yet Lacking in Quantity.......2003-11-18

I grew up wanting to "Party All The Time" and chasing "The Ice Cream Man". I had the complete version of "Bar-B-Que" and "Drunk Fathers" memorized. But, tell me this....where is my "Shoe Throwin' Mother"? That is a classic Murphy bit and it was greatly missed on this CD. This CD could have been better...but I still got my kicks!!! Eddie Murphy.....wierd to see him in Daddy Daycare and Klumps and think of how he used to be. I give the CD about a 8 out of 10.

3 out of 5 stars A Great Collection But Buy the Other Albums as Well.......2003-10-28

This is a great collection of previously unreleased tracks as well as some tracks from his other two albums Comedian and Self Titled. There's twelve new (well still recorded in the 80's) tracks and six from the other albums. In my opinion the funniest tracks are still on the other albums. The Mr T jokes you have probably heard of are not on this album. The hilarious tracks Talking Cars, Myths/A Little Chinese and Black Movie Theatres are also absent and should really be on a greatest hits Eddie Murphy album.

Still this album is worthwhile listening to but I think you will definitely buy the other two once you have this. If you are buying this for your kids because they love donkey from Shrek or the Nutty Professor or something just be aware it has a fair bit of swearing on it. I prefer the other albums (they also have better sound quality) but you won't really go wrong with this.

4 out of 5 stars The comic that poseur Foxworthy would like to be.......2002-09-04

I'm a redneck.

So sue me.

But Tim Wilson is _our_ funny guy, who doesn't have to joke about dogs under the porch or recycle the same "You might be..." stuff that ain't funny the first time around and doesn't improve a'tall with age. Instead he gives us the lying uncle from _his_ family who's a whole like the one we grew up with, the brother-in-law from hell we put up with at Thanksgiving (who sometimes doesn't go away till after Xmas).

Tim Wilson is brilliant and pokes fun at anything that strikes him as funny, and makes jokes about things I never thought I'd hear a comedian talk about. Who else has a story about that lying uncle and Rosa Parks?

Only reason I gave this album four stars rather than five is some {guy} has censored it, bleeping words I've known since I was five or six years old (and I'm not talking about the big "F" one).

Buy it anyway, listen to "Chucky Cheese Hell" and remember the last time you ate really bad pizza while the kids went through thirty bucks in quarters.

If you don't laugh out loud, you might be a Jeff Foxworthy fan.
