Eagles - The Very Best Of(more) »rank: 253by: Eagles
Our review: :This packed double-disc is the slim option for fans who find the Eagles' vaunted greatest hits sets too little and the boxed set too hefty. Hit singles large and medium are here, often ('One of These Nights,' 'Hotel California') still sounding definitive and even tough. Large helpings of favorite album cuts are also included, along with a taster from a promised 2004 Eagles studio reunion. Unfortunately, 'Hole in the World,' Don Henley's response to September 11, feels just as empty and entitled as 'Get Over It,' the band's previous state-of-the-union ... Detail |

Bob Seger - Greatest Hits(more) »rank: 54by: Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band
Our review: : Bob Seger Photos More from Bob Seger Stranger in Town Nine Tonight Face The Promise Against The Wind Greatest Hits 2 Night Moves Amazon.com:Bob Seger has racked up a lot of worthy tracks over the years, but it took until 1994 for a greatest hits package to appear. Voilà. The bad news: We're missing an awful lot of songs here. Night Moves is Seger's crit-pick album, and a great place to start if you don't have any Seger at all. Next in the rankings is Stranger in ... Detail |

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band(more) »rank: 40by: The Beatles
Our review: :\N essential recording:Before Sgt. Pepper, no one seriously thought of rock music as actual art. That all changed in 1967, though, when John, Paul, George and Ringo (with 'A Little Help' from their friend, producer George Martin) created an undeniable work of art which remains, after 30-plus years, one of the most influential albums of all time. From Lennon's evocative word/sound pictures (the trippy 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds,' the carnival-like 'Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite') and McCartney's music hall-styled 'When I'm 64,' to Harrison's ...

Abbey Road(more) »rank: 55by: The Beatles
Our review: essential recording:The Beatles' last days as a band were as productive as any major pop phenomenon that was about to split. After recording the ragged-but-right Let It Be, the group held on for this ambitious effort, an album that was to become their best-selling. Though all four contribute to the first side's writing, John Lennon's hard-rocking, 'Come Together' and 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)' make the strongest impression. A series of song fragments edited together in suite form dominates side two; its portentous, touching, official close ('Golden Slumbers'/'Carry ... Detail |

O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits(more) »rank: 69by: Aerosmith
Our review:Album Description:2002 compilation featuring 30 tracks from their years with Columbia & Geffen. Hologram cover. 2002. :Over a remarkable 30 years, Aerosmith has delivered near-perfect hybrids of rock and balladry, converting generations of listeners into devout fanatics. O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits drives chronologically through 30 of their best songs, providing a tour of the construction process. And what a process! Listen to 'Mama Kin' and you might not recognize Aerosmith at all--here is a young Tyler, before finding his distinctive gritty wail, fronting a simple blues-bar band. But the ... Detail |

Our review: :No Description AvailableNo Track Information AvailableMedia Type: CDArtist: BEATLESTitle: BEATLES 1Street Release Date: 11/14/2000DomesticGenre: ROCK/POP essential recording: Proving yet again their willingness to dice 'n' slice their burgeoning legacy into new--if not exactly fresh--product, the Fab Four Minus One have released this single-disc compendium of their No. 1 hits. Though obviously superfluous to the faithful (who may also find themselves quibbling over the precise definition of 'No. 1 hit' and the exclusion of seeming contenders like 'Please Please Me' and 'Strawberry Fields'), newly arrived visitors from the Pleiades ...
