Having been a fan of Gerry and The Pacemakers,I was thrilled to get this collection,for it contains many of their biggest hits,including Ferry Cross The Mersey,one of my all time favorite songs. While they may not have been as big as the Beatles,they did have their share of hits. I recommend this collection for anyone who loves the music of this great group!

Containing 21 classic Rolling Stones hits from the period before fame got the best of them, "Hot Rocks" is the perfect collection for the casual fan.  Although the Stones have managed to survive for more than three decades since this anthology's 1971 ending date, they haven't recorded as many great songs in those thrity-plus years as are included here.  The track listing reads like a playlist for classic rock radio, "Satisfaction," "Get Off My Cloud," "Paint it Black," "Brown Sugar," "Ruby Tuesday," "Under My Thumb," "Jumping Jack Flash," "Sympathy for the Devil," etc.  All of these prove that in their heyday the Stones were among the best singles bands ever, even if their studio albums tended to be more uneven.  Even one of the few less well known songs included here, "Wild Horses," is a masterpiece which was written for Gram Parsons and was the signature tune for Parsons's influential band, The Flying Burrito Brothers.
Overall, a classic double disc anthology album that will be of interest mostly for fans who want the Rolling Stones's biggest hits without having to buy all of the albums.

Every song is awesome on this greatest hits collection. From the first song "Knocked Up" to the last song "Talhina Sky" it's just wall to wall super sounds. I'm really happy to listen to these songs play on my iPhone going to and from work.

An excellent collection of 80's music that I have almost forgotten. Some tunes are still played on oldies stations but a must for music lovers everywhere!!

Aerosmith has been creating hits for several decades, and this CD gathers up some of their most popular songs. It's important that this was put out back in 1980! Certainly they have had MANY hits since then. Heck, they had more than 10 hits at that point, even. Still, people were asking for a Greatest Hits collection at the time, and they loved having one to buy.

These are NOT the full length album versions of songs. These are the "singles" versions. Actually for fans, that is a great thing. If you want the full length album version, you can buy the album. Without this collection it might be really hard to hear the version you remembered from the radio.

People always argue over what songs count as hits to go on a collection. I found this group a quite nice group, and I own the other albums as I said if I want to listen to another song not in this set.

Dream On is of course an epic classic, I just love this song. "Dream until your dreams come true!" It's great for blasting in the car as you cruise down the highway, looking to get that new job or boyfriend or whatever it is you're seeking. On the flip side, "Same Old Song and Dance" is a little more callous, that life gives you junk to deal with sometimes - so you deal with it.

"Sweet Emotion" is the kick-butt longing that just about every human has had at some point in life, when you see someone in a club and you just want to be with them. Then comes "Walk This Way" which I really love, with its cool strut-sound that is perfect to dance to.

Really, every song here is great, right up until the ending "Remember" song full of angst and plaintiveness. It's the perfect ending to the collection of songs that span the emotions through dreams, losses, lust, and heartache.

Well recommended to go with your other Aerosmith CDs!

First of all, for those who complained about the lack of songs by Phil Spector's girl groups as well as Motown's, it's all due to licensing permission.  If you already own cd's by said artists, why not do what I did a long time ago and make your own mixes, including songs from these collections?  For anyone living in the NY/NJ area-there is still one oldies station on AM radio that plays many girl group songs, as well as songs from the 50s thru the 70s and that radio station is WMTR1250AM and once you tune in you will not be sorry.  Back to Girl Groups Volumes 1 & 2, they bring back wonderful memories of fun times growing up in the early to mid 1960s when your radio was constantly on.  Very highly recommended for fans of 60s pop music.

Super gathering of 60s and 70s music.  Love "You light up my life," and "Put your head on my shoulder" very much.  This is an outstanding production from beginning to end.  Thank you Debbie. Great job!

I have several of Greg Kihn's Vinyl Albums but, I had none of his work on CD or MP3. I wanted a GOOD Greatest Hits or Anthology collection to just quickly download to my Ipod or one to just load in the CD player. After a long time waiting and looking, it's finally found!
This is one "FUN" collection. It made it easy to just do as I wanted. It's the biggest and best hits, it's the best alternative LP cuts, and it is the BEST of Greg Kihn. A perfect collection.
So, if you like "jeopardy" or "the break up song" or one of the others...this is the collection for you "IF" you can find it. It went out of print for a while so don't be surprised if you have trouble picking up a copy easily. If you score one, ENJOY!

Anne Roos delivers a rich collection of timeless favorites from times gone by. I grew up watching the Rodgers & Hammerstein adaptation of "Cinderella" and love listening to her medley of "Ten Minutes Ago/Do I Love You" - beloved songs from the musical's ballroom scene! Also included is a gentle rendition of "When I Fall In Love" which, along with the rest of this album, is romantic but not too mushy. And the solo harp production is refreshing when so many feel the need to "embellish" with flutes, synthesizers, etc. My only real complaint? The tracks are a bit short for my taste, but I have to admire their simplicity! Definitely recommended!

This is a fantastic collection of Tom Petty's epic FM broadcasts from FL '87, NC '89, and a slew of live songs played at Bridge School Benefit '94, Dylan's 30th Anniversary Show (& w/band jamming with other stars) Farm Aid '86, TV performances, Benefit Show/ more with Dylan.

Disc 1 is worth the cost of the entire package. Same w/ disc 2 & 3! Some of this I had already from recording it from radio. It's so nice to have high quality, high resolution recordings of this stuff again. If you are a Tom Petty fan and you want to double your experience, you must buy this album. The CD's are long and chock full of fantastic material by this killer live band. There are hits and also obscure classics. The '87 "Don't Come Around Here No More" is tremendous, classic, all time great... The whole album shines bright in a very moving audio tribute to this late great singer /songwriter/ bandleader rock and roll star.  They are at the top of their game on this collection. They cover The Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I go?" quite well! They also cover Buffalo Springfield's "For What it's Worth" which features Mike Campbell paying homage to Neil Young's guitar riffs, which really provided the hypnotic beauty this song contains. Excellent, a must have for hardcore fans.

The sound quality is pristine & vibrant. The packaging is first rate. 3 CD's I also have the Transmission Impossible Nirvana, a band I love. I must say this one is my favorite of the two. But we can have them both! I need to give the other another listen. They tend to turn into classics! Alan in Seattle

A two disc set, this collection is terrific for Big Crosby fans! Considering these are mono recordings from the early 1950's, they are of excellent quality. Crosby sings the great standards, and is joined in some songs by the Andrews Sisters and his son Bob, But most of the songs are Bing singing solo and you'll be amazed at just good, how splendid, his voice really was. I think these songs were recorded when Bing was 40 to 45 years old. Buy it and don't look back...you won't be disappointed!

This collection is full of the hits, not the misses.  You get the songs from 1978 through 1986, that were major hits.  And I recommend it as such--running through several albums and getting those songs you remembered so well.

The songs are full album versions.  You are not getting those 12" single versions, alternate takes, or shortened versions with this collection.  I have had other Pointers collections where there were alternate versions, with two separate discs each with different songs that were the original mix and the other album having a different half with alternate takes.  Not here--you are going to find all the important songs on a single disc with no fuss and muss.

Starting with Fire--the Pointers' first song as a trio.  This came in late 1978.  He's So Shy, Slow Hand, and Should I Do It are here.  And the big hits off Breakout are here, along with Dare Me and Goldmine (the latest song on here, out in late 1986).  These songs are soul with an upbeat tempo, and some could be taken for dance music (especially some of the Breakout songs).  You will not find any pre-1978 Pointers songs when there were four members (if you are looking for songs like Betcha Got a Chick on the Side or Yes We Can-Can, you will not find them here).

They did a nice job at selecting the songs.  Without the outtakes and second-tier songs, they were able to fit it onto one disc (whether you buy it as a CD or download it to burn onto one disc).  And without compromising the lengths by giving you all shortened versions of every song, either.  This gives you the best value for the money, since you are paying only for a single disc.  I definitely would recommend picking up this collection of fine songs, if you enjoy R&B or dance music that isn't too disco-y.
