This has too be Overkill's best Album to date (aside from The Years Of Decay) I couldn't even label anything wrong with this CD even if i tried, Every track on this CD is Ace, from beginning to end, this has all your needs from fast songs "Blood Money" & "Thanx For Nothing", Nicely tuned songs "Live Young, Die Free" & "Infectious" to slow melow songs such as "Horrorscope" & "Nice Day...For A Funeral", this has it all, and all is very, very good.
So weither you your new too Overkill, like their old stuff or new stuff, considering listening to Overkill. GET THIS CD! trust me, you'll be hooked, after this and "The Years Of Decay" i sure was.

A superior compilation of songs by a true master.  Every track has something unique and soulful to it.  Many are historic recordings--in that, while all having excellent sound quality, they were favorites or defining takes from their time.  Highly recommended.

The best of Ottmar Liebert-what else can you say?

The filler, Lieut. Kije, is the best I've ever heard. The main selection, R&J excerpts, is Leinsdorf's own arrangement of the music and the performance also ranks with any I've heard. I have been smitten by the music since I saw the Russian Ballet film in 1955, and since then have heard and owned every notable performance, including Leinsdorf's LA recording for Sheffield. Even if you have that one, where the sound is better than anything else you will ever hear, you have got to get this one too for three reasons: more of the music, a different but still outstanding interpretation in places, and an unbeatable Kije.
Leinsdorf has been unjustly neglected by RCA reissues. He did some really find things at the helm of the BSO (Prokofiev was one of his specialties) and should be reissued in the latest technology.
The sound of these 1967-68 recordings has been done proud by Testament, but their decision not to put the original recording dates on the outside of the disc case is dishonest and hurt's their reputation. A very small niggle considering the gold contained therein.
Get this one while it is available and before the price for used copies skyrockets once it is withdrawn from the catalog.

Rubinstein is the best. His redition of Concerto #1 is the best. The feel he gives in every note is the the best. Foeget the other guy, whoever he is.

The latest, almost the greatest.  I can safely say that all four of these CD's are somewhere in the top ten percent of my favorites.  Yes, I can honestly say that!

I use these albums like a 'wish list' of awesome music. Guidant also produces some great artists that aren't listed in these albums. See also 'Caia'.

This is my favorite greatest hits album ever.  That may seem hyperbolic but it's true.  Bob Pollard, Guided By Voices' primary songwriter, is not the greatest self-editor, by many accounts.  GBV albums vary wildly in production quality (and general quality).  That's why this album is so indispensable.  Guided By Voices has a daunting discography but this is a sublime entry point.  Lo-fi or hi-fi arguments are demolished by one great rock and roll song after another (32 of them!!!).  This collection is shambling, somewhat drunk, and altogether awesome.  Can't recommend it enough.

This is a compilation of Fleetwood Mac's greatest hits from 1975-1988.  They prove with their seems-to-be-simple-but-it's-not sound that they are one of the greatest bands.  Every catchy track is equally as good as the other.  This takes the audience to a journey through their lives beginning when they hit mainstream in the US: hardships, feuds, love, anger, and much more.  Lindsey Buckingham's guitar sound remains ahead of its time and untouched to this day(picking with his fingernails).  Stevie Nick's mesmerizing voice remains of the most unique and unforgettable instruments.  Buckingham and Christine McVie also offer wonderful lead vocals.  The stand-out tracks are "Dreams", "Go Your Own Way", "You Make Loving Fun", and "Don't Stop", originally from their highly successful album "Rumours"(18 million US sales, over 30 million worldwide).  Their originally unreleased track "No Questions Asked" remains listen-worthy.  This is the only track on this album without Buckingham(he quit in 1987) and with his replacement.  "Greatest Hits" is a must-have for any Fleetwood Mac fan.  Those who love this this album will also love "The Dance", their comeback live album released in 1997.

This is it, folks. You won't hear a better best-of from any band as "Nothing Safe," chronicalling AIC's brilliant career. There's no need to waste money on the earlier "Greatest Hits" album, which contains fewer hits, zero new songs like "Get Born Again" and the demo version of "We Die Young" heard on "Nothing Safe," and sounds less than steller. OK, as in most greatest hits collections, there's always too few hits from the band you can put to record (or disk)for a serious hardcore fan like me, and so "Nothing Safe" is missing a few songs I consider essential: "Dirt," the title track from their breakthrough second album (a number that's played as often as "Would" on today's rock radio stations); "Heaven Beside You," which, along with "Rooster," happens to be one of AIC's best musical efforts (still puzzeled why they excluded it here- even "Greates Hits" has it!); and "Sludge Factory," another winning track from their self-titled 1995 album. Still, I guess "Nothing Safe" works as an incentive to listen to other AIC's work, and I am certainly greatful that this collection has persuaded me to check out their other albums. Plus, there's no denying that a handful of the classics, as well as a few surprises, are prominantly featured. If you are a first time fan, this is the starting point for your AIC collection. RIP Layne Staley- You and your band will truely be missed.

All right.  You've begun with "The Partridge Family's Greatest Hits," you're hooked and ready to explore the catalog.  Where to, next?  Hey, board the bus, it stops HERE, their third release.  David  Cassidy wraps brilliant vocals around tunes by composers the status of Paul  Anka, Rupert Holmes, Mike Appel, Bobby Hart, and the always wonderful Tony  Romeo, so it's little wonder that this is the Partridge project's finest  moment, among its many great ones.  Yep, I owned this as a kid, played it  on a terrible stereo, and missed all the professional efforts brought to  the table by producer, Wes Farrell, the studio musicians, and a young David  Cassidy (whose maturity of vocal phrasing is the *real* highlight, here.)  For the long ago admirers, whose last listen crackled, popped and skipped,  you'll be amazed at what you now are able to hear, and you'll now better  appreciate the skill that went into creating this sound.  For curious  newcomers, this represents the catalog's best and most consistently  enjoyable original release. (By this time, engineering had ceased 'speeding  up' the voices and tracks to, presumably, present a 'younger sound.')  Combine this with the purchase of "The Partridge Family's Greatest  Hits," and you'll have plenty of classics, and an achingly sensitive  Cassidy solo effort on "Cherish," to start you thinking about  adding more to your collection.

Here is the finest of Cream - the 60s' mythical trio which gave rock a new definition and took blues as far as it has ever been taken. Eric Clapton's virtuoso guitar, Jack Bruce's mesmerising musicianship, Ginger Baker's guru  drumming - it's all in this album, all at its best! Included are epic  tracks like "Sunshine of Your Love", "I Feel Free",  "Spoonful", "Strange Brew", "White Room",  "Badge"... a non-stop succession of the cream of Cream, the 19  best studio recordings, topped up by the legendary live rendition of  "Crossroads".  It is remarkable that, untypically, the producers  have made an honest effort to include all the best songs in the  compilation, not leaving ground for "The Vey Best, part 2". The  only problem with this release is it's so good (and that includes, at least  to my ears, the sound quality) it will instantly make you want to buy all  of the original albums - and that might as well be a wise decision.  However, if you're quite sure you only want one CD by Cream, then,  undoubtedly, this is it!

This is arguably the best album they've released. It's the first of it's kind that I've heard and nothing compares to this. It brings back memories for me from several years ago. If you're in doubt, check them out on YouTube, then come back and buy it.

This album contains many of Brian's best songs, plus a few new ones that are every bit as good. A must for longtime fans--and anyone else who enjoys well-written, well-sung, and well-produced songs.

Aterciopelados is the most creative and original band that I have ever known.  This album brings together "the best of the best".  All of the songs from their albums are excellent; I would not have been able to pick out the "best of", but they have done a wonderful job.  From beginning to end, it is a definate must for the Aterciopelados fan, as well as the newcomer.  Tears (La Pipa de La Paz), laughs(La Estaca), and most of all enjoyment from this album...I don't know how I have lived without it up until now.  If you aren't already a fan, you definately will be one after this album!  Not only does it have a wonderful collection of their past works, but two new songs that will definately become classics as well.  Gracias a los Aterciopelados, mi vida brilla!

No matter how much music I've listened to over the years, I always come back to the "blue" album, in my opinion the best greatest hits package of all time.  From Sgt. Pepper, to Magical Mystery Tour, to the White Album, Abbey Road and Let It Be, it captures the best of the Beatles' later more creative period.  This was my introduction to A Day In the Life, I Am The Walrus, Don't Let Me Down, and other songs which I didn't know at the time.  Many years later I have bought all the records, heard all the songs a million times, but there's something about playing this at the right time that makes this the one I would take to a desert island with me. (if I could choose only one)
Any collection which has Hey Jude, Let It Be, Get Back, Strawberry Fields Forever and While My Guitar Gently Weeps on the same album is pretty damn great no matter how you look at it, and there's much more of course.  Over the years there have been other much hyped collections, but the red and blue albums are absolutely definitive.
