I'm not a big fan of compilations...Actually i hate them....Many great songs are forgotten, and it seems that the best hits songs are way way greater than other songs that aren't in the compilation...But A-SIDES is a great way to know what SOUNDGARDEN is all about...All the biggest hits are here like BLACK HOLE SUN, SPOONMAN and OUTSHINED...If you want to understand what is this great great band from the GRUNGE era, this is a great compilation.

This is an excellent compilation. It has all of FNM's essential tracks and even the B-Side "I Started a Joke" (Bee Gees cover) which is great. The price is also very affordable and the track listing is great. Too bad there are no extensive liner notes, but again, this is a budget compilation. Buy it now.

I have this collection on cassette from 1990 so I cannot speak to the quality of the CD. I can, however highly recommend this compilation to any and all Elton John fans. From the lesser known "early" tracks like "Lady Samantha", "Come Back, Baby" and "Bad Side of the Moon" to the hits that made EJ a superstar in the 70's and 80's, this collection gives the listener a grand tour of Elton's growth as a musician and of his and Bernie Taupin's evolution as songwriters.

Some nice bonuses include a rare "demo" version of "Grey Seal", and some b sides like "Jack Rabbit" and "Young Man's Blues".

There is a nice balance of tracks from the albums (not just radio hits), singles and rarities. Especially noteworthy is the inclusion of "Lucy in the Sky", "Ego" and "Empty Garden".

In my opinion, this is definitely a collection worth having.

Another good EJ compilation is "Rare Masters" which includes the entire "Friends" soundtrack.

The only reason that I did not give this outstanding compilation a 5 star rating is because it could not contain all of this legendary entertainers music. This is understandable however considering he recorded hundreds and hundreds of songs. This is a very good overall grouping. Very satisified.

I have been a fan of the Sidewinders since the late 80s.  This CD is pretty close to the "best of" compilations that I have made for myself.  I highly recommend this!!!

I believe that Now 22 is the best now in a while. Overall, I listen to 17 out of the 20 songs on the CD. It is worth the money, if you are looking for a new CD. My only problem (and it's not really a problem) with this compilation is the tendency to group the slow songs together. The makers of this compilation get big bonus points for no Black Eyed Peas!!! My overall grade: A-

The Beach Boys scarcely need another review, but it's worth saying that this is an excellent compilation.  Nearly the songs you'll really want are here and it gives a good overview of their career.  There are the early, relatively simple hits about girls, surf and cars when they summed up a generation with the peerless opening line of Fun, Fun, Fun: "Well, she's got her daddy's car and she's cruised to the hamburger stand now."  Then the development of their amazing harmonic style in songs like God Only Knows in the mid-60s to the complex and sometimes extraordinary varied later material including, of course, Good Vibrations.

Some songs have been remastered in stereo.  As an 11-year-old I spent a great deal of pocket money on Sloop John B. and so don't like it messed with, but actually the result is very close to the original and the other remasters are fine, too.  Also, any compilation will include some tracks you could do without and misses out others you would like.  Personally, I really miss 409 and Do You Remember here, but overall I think this is a very good collection indeed.

So...you can't really go wrong here if you want a good Beach Boys compilation.  Highly recommended.

If you are a fan of AZ, then this is a great compilation of all his best songs.  I really like the collabos with Nas.  I hope they do that Nas/AZ album really soon.

Having collected virtually all of Don McLean's recordings on vinyl over the years, I finally decided to purchse this compilation, so I could hear his great music again.
I couldn't jutify buying the whole lot, so "Collection" was the way to go. Whoever chose the songs for this one did a good job. Love it!

A nice compilation of Hulk Hogan's time in TNA...Shoptna is Phenomenal...pun intended!!!! Only complaint is they need to replenish their stock of The Best of Sting!!!!
