Album Description

The individual voices of the legendary Brothers Gibb—Maurice, Barry, and Robin—are each wonderfully distinctive in their own right. In combination, they lock together for extraordinary harmonies, perfectly blending and magically complementing each other. This vocal wizardry is at the heart of their phenomenal success, which spanned five decades and transcended multiple genres with chart-busting glory. From their Beatles-esque `60s roots and the subsequent flowering of their own progressive pop-rock songwriting and performance style through their blue-eyed R&B superstardom and Saturday Night Fever disco-era domination, the Bee Gees constantly evolved and never stopped delivering timeless hits. The trio's beautifully crafted, sonically enchanting work is one of the cornerstones of contemporary popular music, and this hit-packed compilation spotlights their career-spanning best.

5 out of 5 stars Bee Gees greatest hits CD review.......2007-07-27

Whether a Bee Gees fan, a fan of lively "pick-me-up" music, or easy listening sounds - you will not be disappointed with this 2 CD pack - which is priced very well. Over 20 songs that start with their beginnings into the music scene, throught the disco era, and up to 2000. Their own renditions of several songs made famous by other artists are a surprise bonus.

5 out of 5 stars well worth the money.......2007-07-24

these cd's cover the very best of the Bee Gees over the past 4 decades

5 out of 5 stars The 70s... The Bee Gees... There's no one without the other.......2007-07-05

I cannot imagine my life as teenager in the 70s, without a reference to the Bee Gees music. These guys are great composers and surely, one of the best vocal groups of that era!
This collection has (almost) all of their greatest hits... The most romantic and even the "Disco" ones (how can you mend your broken heart, without dancing 'Stayin' Alive' once again? Come on...!!!)
I suggest you to get this one, unless you're so lucky to get that wonderful 4-CD box collection issued some years ago...

4 out of 5 stars Complete BeeGees.......2007-07-03

Love this CD, it has all of the tunes that I've loved throughout the years. Just what I've been looking for.

Amazon.com essential recording

The pre-Hotel California years were arguably the best for The Eagles (though there were, thanks to Joe Walsh, some stellar future moments). Their mix of country, folk, and rock had a harder, grittier edge, and helped define what would become known as the Southern California sound. There was just enough of a country feel in the beautiful harmonies of "Best of My Love," to blur the edges between the genres. "Take It Easy" and "Lyin' Eyes" could easily have come out of the new Nashville school, as well. The twang that characterizes the guitar intro to "Already Gone" and the leads in "Witchy Woman" and "One of These Nights," also pays tribute to country's guitar greats. Greatest Hits 1971-1975 houses a scant ten singles, but not only does it illustrate the magic of the collaboration between Glen Frey and Don Henley, it shows the breadth of The Eagles impact on the many who would follow their lead. --Steve Gdula

Album Description

From the original master tapes on 24 karat Gold disc. Booklet includes complete original artwork. 1993 release. Standard jewel case.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Fly with the Eagles.......2007-06-10

Great collection that you will enjoy. Its got some essential Eagle hits that really are gems. A fine collection of music from a fine collection of musicians.

5 out of 5 stars Flyin' High - 4 Ever.......2007-03-09

This record ranks as the #1 best selling album in the American Music Industry, so I guess that speaks for iteslf. 41 million copies worldwide and still selling, probably indicates just how their music appeals to all young and old...
If you want an introduction to the Eagles buy this and also "Hotel California" and you'll be set.
Take It Easy is as fresh now as it was in 1973 (and still stands as the best ever Eagles song recorded - that opening "G" chord still sends shivers down one's spine!) Contains all the great stuff pre-Hotel California.
However, if you want a far more comprehensive collection of Eagles songs - buy the double CD "Complete Greatest Hits".

5 out of 5 stars The Greatest Hits Of All.......2007-03-05

I remember my older cousin who I always admired especially for always having such a great selection of records and eight tracks. I was only 13 years old back in the summer of '76 and had no records or tapes of my own. But I remembered that eight track of hers was always playing the Eagle's Greatest hits that summer. We were all staying at the same beach-side motel where there was an open air lobby to the beach. The lobby seemed to be the most relaxing place of all after the kids (myself included) were exhaused from swimming by late afternoon. The waves breaking on the shoreline could be heard as the beach breeze was felt coming through this lobby while we all sat or stood around talking. Sometimes we were playing cards or board games. My cousin had an instant boyfriend (as she always was able to do) and this Eagles tape would play over and over again while she was sitting with her boyfriend day after day. I noticed that the song "Best Of My Love" sounded so much better on her eight track than I remembered it sounding over the radio because even though this was a greatest hits edition, it contained the full length versions of all of the songs. I think the relaxing atmosphere was about the best possible way for me to be introduced to this wonderful Eagles album. I never got tired of hearing that eight track go though it's endless cycles during that entire summer week back then. I'm sure it wasn't the only tape she played but it's certainly the only one I remember vividly. When we got home to my cousin's (Aunt and uncle's) house, she had it on vinyl also for playing in the living room (the next year, it was of course The album "Hotel California" playing often during my next summer visit to my aunt and uncle's house). I never get tired of hearing the Eagles Greatest Hits CD to this day. If anything, I start to miss it after a month or so. This is a great CD for the most relaxing of occasions. Highly recommended at 5+ Stars. I like the order the songs are played in on the Eagles Greatest Hits 71-75. You just can't improve on perfection it seems. This album was compiled and released during our Bicentennial Year and became a classic as it turned out.

5 out of 5 stars The title says it all!.......2006-12-18

This album can afford to be out of print now that there's the surpassing THE VERY BEST OF THE EAGLES. Here are ten chart-risers that were previously released respectively on the band's first four non-compilation releases,THE EAGLES,DESPERADO,ON THE BORDER and ONE OF THESE NIGHTS.

5 out of 5 stars A smooth shot of tequila.......2006-12-06

This album stops a bit early in the Eagles' career, just before the release of "Hotel California," and that's to its advantage because there isn't a dud on the album. After this, it was hit or miss for them. The standouts here are "One of These Nights," "Best of My Love," and the underrated, overlooked, and totally awesome "Tequila Sunrise." Great music for singing along in the car (especially the doo-doo-doos at the end of "Peaceful Easy Feeling").

Amazon.com

Electrifying performers and pure-pop songwriters of the highest order, Toronto's Barenaked Ladies have emerged over a decade as that strangest of beasts. They'll never land a dishy cover story in Mojo Magazine, but as they reflect on those ribald years between 1991 and 2001, the five can allow themselves wry smiles, knowing that sometimes, just sometimes, the cream rises to the top. In addition to familiar radio staples such as "Pinch Me," "The Old Apartment," "Jane," "Alternative Girlfriend," and the ubiquitous "One Week," there's a trump card on All Their Greatest Hits that will prove irresistible to completists: the Ladies' buttery, acoustic version of Bruce Cockburn's "Lovers in a Dangerous Time." Recorded eons ago for a Cockburn tribute disc that almost immediately went out of print, the song has until now been a rare and highly coveted collector's item. Two news songs--"Thanks That Was Fun" and "It's Only Me (The Wizard of Magicland)"--were recorded specifically for this collection, while two others ("Brian Wilson" and "What a Good Boy") are captured live. But what really brings this album home is, ironically, "If I Had $1,000,000." One of their very first hits cut as the Ladies were learning to dovetail their so-called "acoustic hip-hop" into slicker pop sensibilities, "$1,000,000"--a simple knock-kneed love song with harmonies so tight they're practically braided--is a snapshot of a band with all the pieces in place just as the planets were about to align. --Kim Hughes

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Awesome.......2007-07-12

We love all the Barenaked Ladies songs! This is a repurchase of the disc after we lost the first one and couldn't live without it.

5 out of 5 stars Musical SUNSHINE Baby!!.......2007-03-14

Okay, so, if we were in a western, I wouldn't exactly be quick on the draw, but personally, I like getting to things in my own sweet time.
Six years (?) after the fact, the SpiritWorld is graced with this FANTASTIC cd-of 19 tracks, thank you very much-GET IT NOW!!
I was only familiar with the high inducing 'Falling For The First Time' track that's on the Malcolm in the Middle soundtrack, and only vaguely familiar with a few of the others, so I come to this as a newbie and I LOVE IT!!
Their quirky loquacious lyrics are funny, smart, smiley, honest and paranoid, the music is played with heart, it's beautiful and even the slower tracks you can snap to. A couple of the tracks are live versions which makes a nice change to the polished studio feel and it's sweet because you can hear the fans singing along in the background.
I can honestly say there's not a Homer's favorite brand of beer track on here; they're all FABOO, and some that are the faboo-est include the aforementioned Falling..., If I Had $1000000 and the spectacular Pinch Me.
I'd like to buy a doll house, use a shrinkomatic on these guys and have them play for me every time I opened the door. Or we could all just live together. I am so getting their entire back catalog and all their new and future ones, which, considering I'm more of a soundtracks girl, is saying a lot.
Lyrics aren't included in the booklet, but you do get a funny little story behind each song, and besides, they sing clearly enough, and you won't be able to stop playing it either, so you'll pick up on the words.
Bottom line: I HIGHLY recommend this, especially if you have a red cadillac and are going for a road-trip across America. Even just in your head. It's like pure musical sunshine.

5 out of 5 stars A great album filled with hits at every turn!.......2007-02-23

I purchased this album after hearing only "One Week" and "If I had 1000000 dollars" from the radio. The two give you a taste of the wacky and zany streak that touches several of their songs, including the irreverant "Be My Yoko Ono." But they show a softer and more reflective side with tracks like "Call and Answer" as well. The variety of tracks is impresive.

As a rule, "best of" compilations tend to be littered with bad songs, but BNL really nailed it with this fantastic collection of songs. If you've heard and enjoyed any of their music, you owe it to yourself to check this one out!

3 out of 5 stars Norms One.......2007-01-20

There is some good with bad along with this review. I felt previous reviews had recommended highly, but it did not live up to expectations. Having written that - there were some good tracks.

5 out of 5 stars It's Barenaked Ladies, how could you go wrong!.......2007-01-03

I am a fan of the BNL, and this CD did not disappoint.

5 out of 5 stars New and improved compilaton by Loverboy.......2007-07-28

I had bought a compilation of Loverboy a year before "Classics" was released and wished I had waited since the number of songs included here on this compilation is increased and the audio is remastered. I believe the only song left off of this edition that was included on the older compilation "Big Ones", was the song "For You". Otherwise, you've got most of the songs you'll ever want here with this edition. I realize that There is "Queen of the Broken Hearts" missing but you can get it by finding and buying "Keep it up" a flawless studio Album/CD by Loverboy released in '83

4 out of 5 stars Should be more songs.......2007-01-03

I am dissappointed that Bullet In The Chamber isn't on this but all in all it's classic Loverboy. If you like Loverboy you will love this cd.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Overview of a Band that Bridged Arena Rock and Hair Metal.......2006-11-23

Think about it. Loverboy is a band that doesn't exactly fit the stale arena rock mold because of their sheer propensity for fun. But then again, their quasi-proggy keyboards don't exactly translate into the hairspray crowd's standard repetoire. As such, I think purchasing this compilation can not only lead to the acquisition of one heck of a party album, but it can also serve as an anthropological study.

Ugh, that sounds pretentious, but it's worth pondering.

Anyhoo, the tracks here are all, for the most part, superb pieces of 80s pop rock. "Working for the Weekend" and "Turn Me Loose" are the obvious highlights, but the collection is laden with highlights. In fact, every song is a 4 to 5 star track in its own right. Well, except for the ponderous "Lovin' Every Minute of It." That one's just dull. Everything else is a blast, though. The best thing is that the songs are peppered with a most amusing kind of synth workouts that just accentuate the goodness of the material. Fantastic.

Overall, fans of music from Kansas to Poison will enjoy this. This is upbeat music to celebrate the good times in a rockin' manner, but it's also got a pseudo-intelligent gloss over it. Great stuff, and a definite value. Buy it today!

3 out of 5 stars Good But Carefull .......2005-09-16

Including Mike's weak duet with Ann Wilson of Heart ( by far a stronger vocilist then you Mike...so let her shine ...next time ) can't be right...

Were the heck is Strike Zone....one of their best songs on their last origianal run albums..Still very good...but definitly misses in some key areas!

5 out of 5 stars Brings back lots of memories.......2005-03-03

I've always liked Loverboy, they had some very great songs. This disc, though maybe not as extensive as it could be, is good enough, in my opinion. It contains the songs I like and it brings back a lot of great memories. If you're a Loverboy fan and you want more songs, you'll have to get at least one more CD, of theirs, to give you all you want. As for me, I'm content with this compilation. Recommended for the 80's rock fan.

Imagine a poppier Pat Benatar fronting a more dance-oriented Berlin—big vocals, big beats, big guitars--and you're just about there. Like fellow Swedes ABBA in the 1970s and A-Ha in the 1980s, platinum pixie Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle generate a bright, glossy sound that transcends borders. In 20 years, they've sold 45 million albums and 25 million singles, including four number ones. A Collection of Roxette Hits overlooks their 1986 debut Pearls of Passion and 1997's Baladas en Español in favor of their biggest international triumphs. All told: 12 album cuts, four singles, two remixes ("Dressed for Success" and "It Must Have Been Love"), and two new tracks ("One Wish" and "Reveal"). There are no real surprises, but Roxette has a few tricks up their shiny sleeves, like the harmonica solo in "Dangerous" (1988's Look Sharp!) and the children's chorus on "Stars" (1999's Have a Nice Day). This hook-filled collection is a fine overview for both old and new fans alike. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Album Description

5 out of 5 stars Better than I thought.......2007-06-08

I wanted to buy something that I would like to listen when I'm not alone in my car. Well, those 20 Greatest songs work. When I'm alone driving, I usually listen to Slayer, Sepultura, Sodom..... but with my wife, well... you know.... the first time that I played this cd with "company" in my car, I saw everyone following the music with their head, hands and legs, so I though "Perfect". If you want some easy-listening music, this cd is the chosen one....

5 out of 5 stars Another Good Greatest Hits Collection but I'd Recommend For Those With No Albums to Get Don't Bore Us Get to the Chorus Instead.......2007-06-03

Another great collection of 20 Roxette Hits but if you've got their other albums or even just their previous greatest hits collection Don't Bore Us Get to the Chorus : Roxette's Greatest Hits there's not much new here for you. The cover insert of Don't Bore Us comes with the lyrics as well to their songs which this album insert doesn't do.

The only difference this album has song wise is that it includes songs from albums released after their album Crash Boom Bang which obviously since they weren't released yet didn't make it onto Don't Bore Us Get to the Chorus. So if you haven't got (or haven't even heard of as they weren't that successfully promoted) the albums Have a Nice Day and Room Service or have bought the song A Thing About You that was the single release on another subsequent greatest hits album called Ballad Hits then this will give you the released songs from those albums. The 20th song (Reveal) is also a new release for this album but none of these songs are as good as their classic songs. I'd get Don't Bore Us Get to the Chorus instead as it has more of their big songs than this greatest hits album if you're only going to buy one Roxette album. Otherwise they are a sensational band and I'd just buy all their independent albums and not worry about buying greatest hits albums at all!

5 out of 5 stars Great!.......2007-03-31

I bought this CD because I loved the songs when I was a kid. What memories they bring back!

4 out of 5 stars Probably the best Swedish pop/rock band besides ABBA.......2007-03-22


I say "probably the best Swedish pop/rock band besides ABBA" because I can't say I know a lot about Swedish music. However, I rate ABBA as one of the all time great bands, and probably the best pop group of all time [I rate The Beatles as the best group of all time and value them for their really weird songs...which aren't particularly pop]...so for Roxette to be compared favourably to them is a big call on my part.

Probably the main reason I bought this compilation was for the song "Fading like a flower". On the odd occasions I've heard this song, I've really enjoyed it. Listening to it for the first time on cd here, I can't say that it grabbed me as much as it did back then. However, before I listened to this cd all the way through, I must have listened to this song around a dozen times, which says a lot for me. I've been listening to it repeatedly since I've listened to the whole cd too. This song is back as an all time great pop classic in my estimation...up there with ABBA's best songs, and songs like: "What have I done to deserve this?" by the Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield; "Clocks" by Coldplay; "Do they know it's Christmas" by Band Aid; "Our lips are sealed" by The Go Gos; and, from Australia, "Chemistry" by Mondo Rock and "Green" by Alex Lloyd.

Roxette, apart from being very melodic and catchy popsters, have a harder rock sound than ABBA in their songs. So, in songs like "Fading like a flower" you get a very cool keyboard melody introducing the song, followed by a momentary rock power chord. The chorus to this song is great and the verses are nice too. The song also features some nice changes of pace and cool guitar rhythym in that slow part as well a really nice lead guitar there too.

The other song that I tend to play a lot, though not nearly as much as "Fading like a flower" is "Dressed for success". It features a cool rock guitar sound, catchy chorus and some cool drums.

Another song I quite like is "Dangerous". This is yet another catchy melody song which Roxette are so good at. Usually the female half of Roxette does all the singing, but here the male half has his share of lines. Hadn't really noticed the weird outro to this song before-the man sings some barely intelligible words.

Rest assured that the rest of the album is chock full of catchy pop/rock, which I won't delve into too much, suffice to say that Americans might rate some of Roxette's ballads higher than I do...songs like "Listen to your heart" which isn't a fave of mine and "It must have been love", which I wasn't expecting to like but on hearing it here it did have a lyrical charm to it.

As for the rest, I'll just mention songs that had me relating them to songs by other artists, e.g. something else that Roxette has in common with ABBA is songs with daggy lyrics, these would include: "Joyride", "Spending my time" [more so for mediations on relationships than being daggy], "Almost unreal" [back to dag central here]. "A thing about you" also features one of those trippy effects that The Beatles were so fond of. It's in the intro of this song whereas The Beatles liked to use stuff like this for outros.

Other songs which remind me of other artists: "How do you do" [The Beatles' version of "Twist and shout" can be heard in this song]; "Crash! Boom! Bang!" [Dusty Springfield]; "The centre of the heart" [Savage Garden]; and "Run to you", which had a guitar vibe which reminded me of Weddings, Parties, Anything's song "Monday's experts", which is, granted, more of a stretch for Roxette to have been influenced by.

The songs towards the end of this cd are not the kind of pop/rock that fills most of the preceding tracks. Best examples of that are "Crash! Boom! Bang!" and "Wish I could fly". The latter has a nice mellow, cool vibe to it. "Stars" is also a more dance orientated song...it features a trippy intro and tinny techno beat.

Another thing to recommend this band are that they widen the musical instruments that they use, e.g. instruments that sound like music box pianos, organs, steel string guitars and violins.

If you like catchy pop songs, you should love this album, so long as you don't mind the band's forays into rock for entire songs or parts of songs.

P.S. One possible criticism of this cd is that it, according to the sleeve notes, I think, does NOT have some of Roxette's songs which charted in Europe. On the upside, the new songs on this cd are surprisingly good...I mean they are not classics, but they are much better than you would expect such new songs lumped together into a best of compilation to be.

I did neglect to mention perhaps Roxette's biggest hit, The Look. Whilst this song has many good hooks/elements to it, the lyric "tasted like a raindrop", sung about a woman, remains a hurdle for me liking this song better! I.e. it sounds a rather naff lyric!

If you like this cd, you might want to read my reviews of other albums with a good pop sensibility, e.g.

Midnight Oil for masterful pop/rock. Politics never sounded so good.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent blend of there best stuff.......2006-08-04

This is one of my fav. CD's I have been bumping recently... K-Ci & Jojo are an incredible duo, and this really proves if you actually listen to it that they don't need Jodeci, cause they own by themselves...
Being a Hip Hop Producer, I must say thease are excellently produced tracks... All My Life, I don't know if they got an orchestra to get that sound, or it was all one man, but the production on that song alone is incredible.
If you have someone you love, or a girl that you really like, every song on here can relate to your emotions for them. I love singing along to "All my Life", and "Tell Me It's Real" with my girlfriend, especially "All My Life" cause it say's exactly what I think about her, but I could never put it in words that well.
Also what is up with thease DEVante d***riders? Dude isnt that great, his production techniques, and his sound is lackluster at best. His best work wasnt even with Jodeci, it was on All Eyez on Me by 2Pac... The production fits K-Ci & Jojo's style much better, and is far better on this.
Overall, this is 5/5 , a great album...
My 4 Fav. tracks are...

All My Life
Don't Rush (Take It Slowely)
Tell me It's Real
Crazy

But really everything on here is dope.

5 out of 5 stars Not a bad song on the entire cd @}->---.......2006-07-23

Considering I love all of these songs, it's hard to choose my favourites. I've loved these guys since forever and they are amazingly talented and underrated. They sound so good together and sing with a lot of feeling and emotion and there is some great bedroom songs here.
Apart from the obvious Crazy and All My Life, I love Through Heavens Eyes, Last Nights Letter and Down For Life. I've yet to hear a song of theirs that I haven't liked. This is a terrific cd for anyone who is either a fan of theirs, or if you want to hear a sampling of their best work. It's a gorgeous cd and lots of sensual music. I could melt just listening to them croon. I highly recommend this to all R&B fans.

5 out of 5 stars good representation of their greatest.......2005-12-23

Interestingly, before this album was released, I'd put together my own mix of their greatest hits & while my track order is different, all my favorites are on here. Kci & Jojo are at their best when they're killin tha powerful love songs. 'If you think you're lonely now,' and Can't find the words,' remain my top 2 ballads. I can never get enuf of these 2!

4 out of 5 stars SOULFUL.......2005-06-10

A lot of these songs are great. These guys know what true R&B is. The best tracks are: Last Night's Letter, Bring Me Up, All My Life, Tell Me It's Real, Crazy, Girl, Don't Rush, This Very Moment and Down For Life. A couple tracks sound bad, but overall, this CD is great for making love and dedicate to your loved ones.

3 out of 5 stars If you have their albums ...........2005-04-02

What's the point of this "Greatest Hits" really? First of all, like a few have said, this should be a "Best Of" because K+J have only a few actual "hits" to their name. Secondly, if you have 4 of their albums (as I do), or 3, or even just 2, there's no point for this.

Where are the unreleased tracks, or the tracks that appear on Japanese versions (such as "I Just Can't Leave" or "Impossible" - both great songs)? And of course there should be at least 2 brand new songs.

Lastly, WHY in the world did K-Ci & JoJo get a "Greatest Hits" released before Jodeci? You might say 'if K+J's GHs is pointless, so would a Jodeci GHs' ... but you're wrong because Jodeci needs to get their name out again. K-Ci & JoJo, on the other hand, released their lame "Emotional" album just a few years ago.

This is ALL from a guy who thinks K-Ci is the best singer in the world and JoJo is RIGHT behind him (just due to my preference, because JoJo's got an angelic voice). The two always sound amazing, but their songs are NOT up to what these two's standards should be.

K+J, settle whatever is wrong with Jodeci. Your vocals are best suited for Dalvin and DeVante's productions.

Had rock & roll never happened, the Everly Brothers would probably have become famous as straight-ahead country artists in the tradition of such sibling acts as the Blue Sky Boys and the Louvin Brothers. Once Elvis, Carl Perkins, and crew hit, however, the Everlys joined the budding rockabilly ranks in 1957 and became not only huge stars, but the most influential two-part harmony team of all time. This sterling 20-track collection features all their early hits, from "Bye Bye Love," "Wake Up Little Suzie," "Bird Dog," and "Devoted to You" (all written by the great Boudleaux Bryant) to Roy Orbison's "Claudette" and their own sparkling originals "Til I Kissed You" and "When Will I Be Loved." --Billy Altman

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Never knew what i missed.......2004-01-20

This is an excellent CD featuring 20 of the Everly Brothers best recordings for Cadence Records. There isn't a bad song in the bunch. The only quibble I have is that they could have fit at least 10 more songs on the CD. "Be Bop A-Lula", for instance, is a great song that got left off. Still, 20 songs is more than a lot of Greatest Hits CDs include, so I recommend getting this CD.

5 out of 5 stars What Did I DO THIS?.......2002-12-08

The Everly Brothers was Wild in 1954. They Broke Up in 1973 in 19 years. Terry And Dana Stop at 67-year-old Dino Died in His Heart Attack on the Backseat in the van on Aug. 8, 1991. Dana was Crying and get a Record Like "Wake Up Little Susie" Terry Told Dana Stop at Her Room in '91. Dana Look at the Newspaper and Said "Dino Lawrence was Dead" and "The Everly's Second MCA no. 1 hit. "Diane"" Their Hits "Maybe Tomorrow" "All I Have to Do is Dream" "Claudette" "Bird Dog" "Devoted To You" "Bye Bye Love" "I Wonder if i Care As Much" "This Little Girl Of Mine" "Should We Tell Him" "Problems" "Love of My Life" "(Til) I Kissed You" and Oh What a Feeling."

5 out of 5 stars The Everly's at the peak of their career.......2000-05-08

The Everly Brothers did their very best work on the Cadence label, and this collection puts together their best known cuts and some superb lesser known tracks.

All of the big cross-over hits are here, led by Bye Bye Love, Bird Dog and All I Have to Do is Dream. No one could put the pain of a failed romance into music like the Everly's, be it the eternally hopeful sound of When Will I Be Loved or the agonizingly heart-broken I Wonder If I Care As Much. Still, they weren't afraid to have fun with their music either, and the playfully cute lyrics of Poor Jenny, Problems and I Kissed You help offset the often somber tone of the album.

If you are an avid fan of the Everlys, you will love this collection. If not, you owe it to yourself to discover just how good they really were. Cadence Classics: Their 20 Greatest Hits is just the ticket to do it with.

5 out of 5 stars Worth 10 Stars.......1999-09-07

This is probably their best collection of hits, and the Everly Bros. beautiful harmonies are still as timeless as ever. Now I am asking for help from other Everly Bros. fans-would anyone out there know where I can find their Christmas album-Christmas With The Everly Brothers & the Boys Town Choir-either on vinyl, cassette or cd? I am asking a few mos. ahead of the holiday season in case I there is hope of eventually finding it in time for Christmas. If anyone can provide a few tips it would be greatly appreciated.

5 out of 5 stars Great Duo/Great Songs.......1999-08-24

Some of the finest songs of the late 50s and early 60s. Their influence can be felt on many important groups which followed them. You may have heard of the Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel.

They are known for 'In The Still Of The Night" but listen to "I'll Be Seeing You" and "To The Aisle". You will play them over and over again.

5 out of 5 stars In The Still Of The Nite wasnt all.......2005-02-22

Though this group could be concidered a one hit wonder group, they had more material than any other one hit wonder......I especially like the songs "I Aint Gonna Dance" and "You Can Count On Me"

5 out of 5 stars Great Doo Wop and R&B.......2005-02-17

The 5 Satins are probably best known for the classic "In The Still Of The Night" but they had a lot more to offer, as this CD demonstrates.
Plenty of classic Doo Wop here including their hit "To The Aisle" and there is some great R&B too.
My only complaint is the minimal liner notes but that's just quibbling.
All the tunes are the original versions and the recording quality is just fine.

4 out of 5 stars George's goof.......2003-10-21

Just now read Mr. O'Leary of Canada's commentary re my original review contained here of this great album, (submitted many moons ago, which shows how much of my life force and attention is given over to this stuff) wherein I lament the exclusion of two singles from the original album. Just for the record, I am not an "oldies" wannabe. I grew up with this music and I also own today the original vinyl 78 of this specific album, so I know whereof I speak. (said album featuring the exact cover photo as the CD)

The reason for the comment in my initial review was that I hoped to get a CD version which duplicated the original album and included these two neat titles. And George, if you aren't familiar with them, I suggest that you check out Master Tapes volume 2 here on Amazon, where you will find the items in question. Yes, they did record them and yes, the songs were on this original album. By the way, the original only had 14 cuts; besides the 2 aforementioned songs, "Again" and "Moonlight and I" were also deleted, and 10 additional songs added. These last 2 also probably didn't chart, so they don't count either, right?

The suggestion going forward is not to judge another reviewer, unless ye also be judged. I don't worry about what "charted"; I don't make a career of statistical analysis or chronological music forensics; I just care about the music I truly know. And George, I know this stuff. Bottom line; it's a great album in either new or or old format.

5 out of 5 stars Everything That I Expected And More.......2002-12-13

I am extremely pleased with this CD. 24 songs by the Five Satins on one CD at such a bargain price. If you are a fan of music from the 1950's and early 1960's, this CD is for you. If you like "Rhythm and Blues", this CD is for you. The great vocal harmony by the Five Satins is well captured by the excellent sound quality of this CD.

Forget the questionable title--did the survivors actually approve it?--and dig Innyrds' track listing, which sums up a lot about why so many of us still love this bunch of Southern tough guys. Not only was their triple-guitar howl one of the definitive sounds of the whole post-Allmans movement, singer Ronnie Van Zant put his smarts--and his intelligence--to work on lyrics like "Saturday Night Special" (an anti-gun screed), "Workin' for MCA" (a not-grinning shot at the band's record label), and "That Smell" (a warning about his own excesses). And what's that other song called? Oh yeah, "Free Bird." --Rickey Wright

5 out of 5 stars The Pinnacle Of Southern Rock.......2007-07-05

If you were born and raised in the South like me, you probably have a special place in your heart for at least one of the tunes on "Skynyrd's Innyrds." Sure, this is far from the best compilation of tunes from the greatest Southern Rock band around, but each and every song on here is worth five stars by itself. From the legendary "Freebird" to jabs at the record label on "Workin' For MCA," to songs of warning like "That Smell," Skynyrd has a little something for everybody. "Saturday Night Special," "Call Me The Breeze" and "Gimme Three Steps" are just a few more of the wonderful tunes you can find on here. "Sweet Home Alabama," which reminds Mr. Young that he ain't needed around anyhow, is pure South. Skynyrd was a rebellious band for a rebellious people, and you really have to be from the South to get them completely.

Anybody who claims to know anything about Southern Rock needs this album. It didn't begin (nor did it end) with Lynyrd Skynyrd, but they are definitely one of the most important bands to ever grace the stage, no matter what genre. I highly recommend this album. It's the perfect "beginner's set" for anyone interested in Southern Rock.

1 out of 5 stars Where are the good Ones?.......2004-08-26

What rocket scientists came up with this poor excuse for a Best of... Album? Considering that Skynyrd only produced a couple of studio albums it is strange that several of their best songs are not included. The most glaring omission is "Tuesdays gone", they also should have had "Simple Man", "Curtis Loew", and "the Needle and the Spoon". These songs are much better than some of the songs that were included. I hate to give only one star to an album by A great band like this, but it is just not what I am looking for in a Greatest Hits album

Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars Okay, but not great.......2005-08-02

As is typical with these compilation cds, one recieves the shorter version of most songs when it is the unedited versions that became the hits;ergo, we "Can't Get Enough".

5 out of 5 stars One of the Defining Sounds of the 70s.......2002-04-07

This economical CD contains 1 of the definative R&B 70's tunes in "Cant Get Enough of Your Love" and perhaps the best disco song ever written in "Love's Theme". It also contains 2 excellent cover versions of "Just the Way You Are" and "Standing In the Shadows of Love". White was a triple threat - writer, singer and arranger/producer and shows off his talents here.
Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars I feel like dancing.......2001-07-16

Barry's music make's me want to dance, 30 year ago I watched him and love unlimited Live at Madison Square Garden and the magic is still there. His music is about Love and Feeling glad to be alive. Barry and Love Unlimited you Rule!

5 out of 5 stars I Finally Know.......2000-05-24

Since the early 70's, I remember Love's Theme but did not know the composer or the even the orchestration. Radio stations often use it as bumper music but rarely announce the title. Love's Theme was used as an intro to TV golf tournaments, but I still did not know title or composer. Finally last week a local talk show host used it as background in a discussion of Barry White. Bingo. I am no longer driven crazy not knowing where to find the music. I've listened to the entire CD compilation. Barry White truly is a musical genious. Amazon.com saved me a lot of time looking for Back to Back.
