There are not enough "good songs" on this CD to warrant a purchase. Besides, the 80s were not really a time of "hard rock classics"...oh, sure, there were a few, but the 80s was dominated by...
This group is so much fun to listen to and watch! I've been a fan for years, and it's nice to see the guys still sounding so great. This cd had a good selection of their biggest hits.
first off let me say that poison is a pretty good band average hairmetal band from the 80s. the reason i gave this album three stars though is because its just another greatest hits with the same...
Ah, Poison. Listening to this material is good for a chuckle, like that of Warrant, Motley Crue or other ridiculous no-talent 80s big hair big mouth bands. This is a perfect example of how MTV...
Many times the most popular album isn't necessarily the best album from said artist. This is a perfect example. T-Rex's "Electric Warrior" has its share of great songs, but in my opinion, they...
After hearing 20th Century Boy, I decided to check out T. Rex. I was familiar with the band from their only song on the radio, Bang a Gong. After seeing all the 5 star reviews, and the title...
I bought this due to an insane desire to hear 'Jeepster' and 'Bang a Gong', so I knew I wasn't in for an all out rock record, but I do feel a bit cheated by the album cover. This record is like...
These songs are must-haves! If you're a fan of 80's good-time hotrod-driving music, this is a primo compilation. And yes, that's Vinnie Chaz, the bassist from Pretty Boy Floyd, on the cover.
This is a flawed classic from Eltons golden period when he was selling more records than anybody else on the planet. There are a some all-time classic Elton tracks in the "The Bitch is Back" and...
See, here's the problem with Caribou: It isn't very good. There are hits, oh yes - what Elton album would be complete without hits? Those are good. "The B*tch is Back" is a funny heavy rocker with...
Despite having one the best songs Elton John and Bernie Taupin have ever penned together in "Ticking", I find the rest the album lacking compared to anything they had done in the the past. It also...
5+ For the music...2 for the unimproved sound quality
Yep, I know...it's mostly my own fault, but when I saw Elton John's Greatest Hits had been reissued I badly wanted to upgrade my old MCA CD which had less-than-great sound quality.
for however brief a time elton john was the greatest and most popular musicican working and this comp spanning his first four year(his best)is 40 min of the greatest music ever assembled that i...
Judging by both of their collections of "hits", the two of them produced some of the most annoying tunes of the 70s & 80s, and unfortunately, beyond. These two "pretend" rockers hit the radio with...
Back in 1990 when this gem was released, I was too cool for the hair band scene, being a die-hard Led Zeppelin fangirl and all; so I didn't buy this multi-platinum selling album. Oh, I noticed...
I remember in 7th grade that this was the hottest cd in my school. As a young bass player at the time, I wanted to have a rock style that was just as flowing, and to have a beautiful girlfriend,...
This Cd came into my way accidentally in a friend's house. It's glam in its worse performance, going from the cover artwork to the music itself. Well, there are people who like songs like "After...
I saw the NY Dolls at Mercer Art Center back in their first year. Frankly, they were amateurish at best; simply awful on a bad night. And time has changed nothing. This record is tedious bordering...
I have no idea why this band is called a punk band. The music sounds like your standard bar rock. I guess because they dressed in drag and were part of the whole '70's NY punk/drug/art scene with...
Really around 3.5 stars for this full length DLR debut. And it kicks with a clean production with old mate Ted Templeman taking care of the knob job. And with a backing band of Steve Vai, Billy...
Though I'm a huge fan of Roxy Music, everything after "Manifesto" was pretty weak for my taste, especially the beloved "Avalon". I prefer "Flesh + Blood" to that disc because of the five gems that...
First of all - a warning: If you like "Roxy Music" of the 80's and you have problems with your heart - don't read that review. For the rest - I'm not going to anlyze the album, cause i see it as a...
There's something very sexy about Roxy Music. Maybe it's the way the lead singer has that special appeal towards the ladies when he sings, or maybe it's just the beautiful models on the album...
I do like Roxy Music at their best or even at something that resembles their best, but I have to say that this CD does nothing for me. I gave it a fair chance and I usually hold on to CDs that I...
Overrated and partially responsible for the prog rock movement, one of the most unfortunate developments in the history of mankind. Still, this album is of interest, but only partially for the...
After years of being a Roxy fan and never being able to find a copy of this album, I finally purchased it on vinyl. I love it. It puzzles me how every critic basically says its a cow...
Don't get me wrong - I *love* this album. Not as much as some other Roxy Music albums, but enough that I was hankering to replace my cassette tape with CD. My eurodisco favorite, "Angel Eyes" was...
Unlike the rest of Roxy Music's catalogue I was disappointed with this album. A weak comeback attempt after 4 years out, this album is little more than a pale shadow of Roxy Music's early work....
I'm so happy that people (especially young people) are still discovering this band and their unique musical styles. This album and the follow-up were extraordinary at the time they were released....
I liked it but a lot of songs were terrible. They started off on the wrong note and ended a lot better. Avalon is a great CD and there best one is Siren. if you're looking for the best one don't...
This is probably the most accessible of the first five must-have Roxy Music albums (6 must-haves, if you count Viva!). It has fewer sharp edges than Country Life and little of the experimental...
Every album has it's fans and I'm not one of this ones
I've not played this album in a while, I haven't wanted or cared to. I did play it about fifteen times when I first bought and basically came away feeling indifferent to it's charms with the...
Unarguably talented in what they do, I guess the only argument lies within the sincerity of the songs, in which I feel this falls a little flat. Every track on here helps...
Stranded finds Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry's song writing in peak form. From start to finish this sumptuous album doesn't let up on the musical juices that shower Ferry's striking imagery and wide...
If you buy it for the cover art, you are PERVERTED.
Buy this album for the music content, not the cover art. This isn't Roxy Music's best album, I believe it is either For Your Pleasure or Country Life, but its a good buy for the completist nad...
A solid effort from a band that has always been more hype than delivery. The thing about Roxy Music for me personally is that the album covers are all among...
After reading a few ho hum reviews about this album, I scrolled up and looked at the songs again. Not a loser in the bunch. I have owned at least 5 versions of this as an LP, cassette or cd and...
You know, hearing this Sweet album, I wonder if maybe Van Halen, Queen and Twisted Sister were influenced by this band in any way. You'll see what I mean.
Has some good glam rock songs, but overall just "ok"
Sweet is best known for "Ballroom Blitz" from the Wayne's World soundtrack and lesser known for their single "Little Willy". This album pretty much contains two great glam rock songs, "Ballroom...
If you are into the "love is like oxygen" song with its awesome unique sounding guitar and beat, then there is nothing like having the original by sweet. In addition, this cd has "ballroom blitz",...
Ballroom Blitz in particular has been re-recorded from scratch and the new version simply lacks the punch of the mid-70s original. I would be very leery of buying this so-called "Greatest Hits"...
One of the many forgotten metal gems of the early-mid 90's
There were some bands who were innovative, There were some bands who were ahead of their time, and there were some bands whose legacy will last forever. Ugly Kid Joe doesn't fit any of those...
This album I would say is average maybe a little above. I'd say it has two down falls lyrics and variety. All the songs kinda sound the same and are about the same thing. Basically the singer...
This is a great album. Bowie decided to cover some of his favorites tunes. I still can remember the day I arrived home with the vinyl version, back in the early 70's and the impression I got...
The marketing surrounding this item led me to believe (whether my mistake or not) that this CD contained the single "Port of Amsterdam". That is what I wanted. That song was not on the CD and the...
Not one of Bowie's best, some good moment's though
Covers album, really should listen to Ziggy, Aladdin and the Dogs before this one, though I admit that Bowie does an excellent job on SEE EMILY PLAY (I'm a HUGE Floyd fan also and yet Bowie...
This is a good CD, not a great CD. He dropped the spiders from mars, his backing band from Ziggy Stardust, so the musicianship is a little under par. With that said, Rebel Rebel is one of my...
I bought this album on a whim after reading that Bowie recorded it in the spirit of _1984_, the classic by George Orwell. Once I started listening to "Future Legands" I was immediately sucked back...
Diamond Dogs was Bowie's first misstep since becoming famous, but his aura was so powerful that most people hadn't noticed. As far as the media was concerned, the photo of Bowie as a...
I have heard some of the fans of UKJ that this isnt actualy the very best of UKJ. They only ever released one album after the 3 or 3 albums this one is made up from, and quite frankly, those songs...
This Best Of only features songs from the first mini-album and from the two first albums. No tracks from the last one "Motel California" who is selfreleased. The recordcompany can therefore not...
"Pure Morning" is one of XM 43's better songs. Everything else here is only somewhat worse. All in all, they show a lot of promise in every area. Realisticly, they've got to improve to make a go...
I am very happy to have bought this cd. Every song is amazing and they are songs that you can play over and over and over. I have to say that when I first heard of these guys I was kind of...
Hmm.I am a biggish fan of Placebo,and I was fairly happy with the new album,due to it`s better production than the other one.They are making some progress with their song writing,however some of...
