4 comments about Queen II.

  1. This album is a masterpiece, absolutely one of Queen's best. Together with Sheer Heart Attack it is among the most underrated album of the rocking 70's and for me the 70's rock!!
    It is a ingenious blend of rock, opera and magnificent poetry. Study the lyrics. There is a wonderful journey into a Tolkienesque fantasy land. This is really a work of art -something like that sung by Mediaeval balladeers but its a mix of ballads and rock.
    That fantastic hit 7 Seas of Rhye and songs like the full-of- action and energetic 'Ogre Battle,' the sad and beautiful 'White Queen,'the 'March Of The Black Queen' is a several song rock opera that's style seems to have preceeded 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. and the incredible 'Fairy Feller's Master Stroke' are like Tolkien and Lewis etc with a touch of Alice In Wonderland and Harry Potter in rock-opera mode. Then there are the wonderful melodies with a baroque flavour 'Father To Son,' the exquisite love song 'Nevermore' and the melodic and whimisical 'Funny How Love Is,' and Roger Taylor's classic 1970's hard rock 'The Loser In The End'.

    Buy it, study it and let your imagination free.


  2. It must be the master as every version of "Queen II" that I've heard has the same problem: the first tracks have very low volume levels and the rest of the album sounds muddy. Still, the album cover must be one of the coolest I've ever seen and the Japanese-style mini-lp sleeve is just a work of art. I guess they've done the best they could with a lousy master in the remastering department as well.

    After a very promising debut album, this follow up shows a more polished effort but still with Brian May's influence clearly at the fore both stylistically as well as songwriting-wise. The band's first hit, a more complete version of "Seven Seas of Rhye" that was also on the first album shows us the quirky side of Queen with the very quaint ending of the song.

    Still, not as good as the debut album or as "Sheer Heart Attack" but still worth the money. Recommended.


  3. wow this is so great. i had always heard how good it was and wanted it for so long. when i finially got it i was thrilled! i listened to the whole thing ands was blown away. all of theese songs are good, amazing guitar work by mr. brian may and amazing vocals by freddie mercury. if you like any song by queen then buy this.


  4. This album was a fantastic record when it was released in '74, and it stands up today as my favorite Queen release. Side One is dominated by guitarist Brian May's songs, including the magnificent "Father To Son". May's guitar work throughout is inventive and rich, layering acoustic guitar over electric tracks brilliantly. Side Two kicks off with "Ogre Battle" and begins a great stretch of four linked tracks ("The Fairy-Feller's Master Stroke", "Nevermore" and "March of the Black Queen") that rank with any album side in British rock history. Superb harmonies, classic bombast, Phil Spector meets Black Sabbath production - all in all, a tremendous achievement that was never matched in consistency by any of the band's subsequent releases.

5 comments about Hotel California/New Kid in Town.

  1. Bought DVD audio because of a new Acura. Excellent sound but the concept of DVD-Audio has never caught on.


  2. not only is this album great musically but this dvd-a sounds amazing with terific surround. better sound than my LP.

    get ready to relax with this one.


  3. I was 21 when this came out but was not a big Eagles fan since I was a musical snob and they were a comercial success. When the title track hit the airwaves, I heard a plagerized version of "We Used to Know" by Jethro Tull. It has an almost identical chord progression. But then again, I was a musical snob. Now, in my aged wisdom, I have dropped all the snobbery and have given this "album" a second listen. While it's not in my top 10, it's up there on my list of great albums. I actually always liked "The last resort" for it's message and sonic appeal. I was also a Joe Walsh fan from his James Gang and early solo work (FM radio only!) but never liked his squeaky voice. His brilliat guitar work made up for it. So Walsh on guitar with the other Eagles professionals made for flawless rockin riffs. I also have changed my opinion of "Victim of love". In my snobby days, I scoffed at it's simplicity, being more attracted to complex musical forms, but now.... it has become one of my favorite songs BECAUSE of it's simplicity! (The excellent guitar work helps, too!) Anyway, this old non-fan is now a new fan. I may even go out and get tickets to see the old geezers before they expire!


  4. I bought the Hotel California album sometime back and I must say since then this album has been one of the most preferred albums I have.
    The channel separation on the compilation is simply awesome. It seems you are not only listening to music but sitting with the band and listening to the music.
    Technically, the frequency of the the instruments is too perfect. My player has never sounded so good as it sounds with this album..
    Cheers


  5. Hotel California
    This is a great CD, and it arrived in great shape. I was happy with my results.

5 comments about Who's Next.

  1. As I stated on Live At Leeds, one wonders why Mobile Fidelity chose these two CDs for the gold disc treatment. This CD was already remastered a couple of years ago.

    Granted, I'm sure the sound is excellent. Mobile Fidelity rarely disappoints, but the improvement in sound could only be marginal at best. I was thoroughly disappointed with Live At Leeds so I didn't want to be burned twice.

    On top of that, the Who's Next album has now been remastered three times in two years. Enough! Go with the MCA remaster/reissue and save a few bucks.



  2. This is not a flawless album. The Who never made a perfect, co-hesive album. But this album contains two absolute gems : "Baba O'Rielly" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" which power forth out of the speakers to floor the listener. Pete Townsends' guitar work is outstanding, Roger Daltrey is in fine vocal form, and this is backed up with the dynamic drums and rolling basslines of Entwhistle. A great slice of English rock from the 70s. Hey, it only costs the price of a few bargain meals at Mcdonalds. Support the Who and buy this record. If you are in any human, you'll like it. moz_one@hotmail.com


  3. With the demise of Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs, there will be no more of their superb gold discs. Ironically, their last is Who's Next, and it's one of their best ever, if not THE best. You'd think you were in the studio with the band, it sounds so pure. If you love this record, buy this version. It won't last long.


  4. Without question, the greatest triumph in the career of The Who, surpassing even Tommy and Quadrophenia. Every song on the album is classic Who and each track begs to be listened to over and over again. This album proved without question that The Who was, indeed, the greatest rock and roll band in the world in the 1970s.


  5. Just as what I've said in here before, "WHO'S NEXT" is always a tremendous rock album of all the times. I don't understand why Polydor/MCA messed up this masterpiece? However they have already done this shit to all other Who originals as well. Even these so-call bonus tracks were done from the same sessions, but they're not seems right be here, just like a classic movie makes part 2. Some people would think that they are getting a better deal because the CD now enclosed more songs, but they just can't get the original classic album. I'm very sure that many true Who fans in here would agreed with me. Well just let a classic be, The Who is a great band, just don't ruined them, please!

5 comments about Flowers.

  1. I have to admit that even though "Flowers" is sort of a catch all of B sides, songs that came out on UK records, older studio things and a few rereleased songs, this is a collection that I really, really like. I play this record just the way it is. I deleted no songs. nor did I add any, when I put this record on my iPod. I guess I was just so used to listening to the songs in this order that I couldn't bear to change it. All of the songs on this record were penned by Mick and Keith, except for Smokey Robinson's "My Girl." The record opens with the better than excellent "Ruby Tuesday," which kind of sets the tone for the album as it segues right into the rocking "Mother's Little Helper," than it's all she wrote as "Mother" fades into "Let's Spend the Night Together." Wow, if that line up doesn't get your pulse pumping, you blood running, your heart pounding, well you're just plain not human.


  2. Ok. So my son bought me this because it was always playing in the background when he was small (along with "Little White Duck" and Leonard Cohen, of course). It doesn't matter that the songs are also on other albums...they have to be somewhere....

    This album reminds me of what the hell I thought I was doing way back then. The attitudes represented in the songs are a fair representation of the mentality of the times. And remember,"Let's Spend Some Time Together" was left off this disc. It's worth going back to the source!



  3. Flowers is good album. It may feature songs that appear elsewhere, but it is a pivotal album in the Stones catalog. It marks an important turning point in the band, representing the band's original sound and introducing sounds that would be hallmarks of future releases.


  4. Wow.........some of the more negative reviews are harsh. 'WEEDS' is what one reviewer called 'Flowers'. First, I got to say that I'm a huge Stones fan. 'Exile' and 'Sticky Fingers' are my favorites, but it was 'Flowers', 'Between The Buttons' and 'Through The Past Darkly' that turned me on to the Stones when I was about 13 years old. I didn't know much about them before these records. What I do remember though, is how these records affected me. I would listen to 'Flowers' every morning before going to school and hum every song until I got home and then I'd put it back on the turntable again. 'Have You Seen Your Mother Baby....' is a GREAT single (although legend has it that a much better mix of the tune exists somewhere). 'Ride On Baby' is my favorite. 'Out of Time' is classic 1966 pop. 'Backstreet Girl' is very English. These songs are filled with Brian Jones colors.

    This record led me to Stones. Like 'Yellow Submarine' led me to The Beatles. Buy it for your kids who are to young for 'Sister Morphine'.



  5. The only reason you buy Flowers is because you want all the Stones releases. It was originally released in June of 67 as a clean up of the Stones catalog. The band was working on albums and releasing singles without worrying about getting them onto albums during this time, so I'm sure the record execs were going nuts trying to find a way to grab all the money they could before the band faded away.

    Let's Spend The Night Together and Ruby Tuesday had been released together as a single in January along with the Between The Buttons album (which did not include either of them). Both songs had just dropped from the charts and were stuck on Flowers to increase sales, as was Have You Seen Your Mother which had been released the previous Sept but had not been included on an album either. Mother's Little Helper had been pulled from the American version of Aftermath for some reason, so Flowers was it's first album release. Lady Jane had been released both as a single and on Aftermath, so who knows why it was stuck on Flowers. Out of Time has such a wierd history, but this was the first American release.

    This leaves us with the remainder of the Flowers cuts, which are the reason why Stones collectors still buy the album. All of them are available only on Flowers. Of this bunch, none are especially good, although I do sort of like Mick's rendition of My Girl. The others (Back Street Girl, Please Go Home, Take It Or Leave It, Ride on Baby, & Sittin' On A Fence) have nothing to recommend them.

5 comments about Queen - Greatest Hits.

  1. The CD I received was a copy and I thought it would be a used original.


  2. Queen are a legendary band. Led by the legendary vocalist Freddie Mercury, the group released some of the finest albums, from their 1973 debut 'Queen' to their final album in 1991, with 'Innuendo,' they gave us nothing but straightforward rock when other bands were giving us disco and mediocre pop rock.

    The American version of 'Greatest Hits' is a disappointing. Hollywood Records originally released this as a companion to 'Classic Queen,' released in 1992 to cash in on "Queenmania" which was started through the legendary film 'Wayne's World.'

    I do ask, however, why is this necessary? I'm sure many people have asked that over the years. It wasn't great when it was released in the '90s, and it certainly isn't great in 2008.

    The music is five stars, don't get me wrong. Everything Queen did, in my opinion, is five stars automatically (except for the Paul Rodgers tracks).

    But, I'll be at least the 90th person to say it, how can you have a 'Greatest Hits' album and not include Queen's biggest hit, 'Bohemian Rhapsody'? Yes, I understand that was on 'Classic Queen,' but can't it appear on 'Greatest Hits'?

    Also, I notice that 'I Want To Break Free' is here. Yes, that was one of their great '80s triumphs, but why is it on a compilation of songs focusing on songs from the 1973-1980 period? It seems very out-of-place here. 'Bohemian Rhapsody' should be here; 'I Want To Break Free' should be on 'Classic Queen.'

    Overall, I suggest 'Greatest Hits I & II.' The U.K. 'Greatest Hits' albums are far superior to the American versions. Thank god Hollywood released those in the States. The songs are great, but skip this in favor of that instead.

    Recommended for the easily pleased casual fan.


  3. I BOUGHT THIS CD FOR THE FIRST SONGS. THE REST OF THE ALBUM IS FORGETABLE AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED. THE BICYCLE SONG IS LAME. BUT HEY: THIS IS 80'S MUSIC SO ONE MUST HAVE A LITTLE UNDERSTANDING..


  4. Have had this CD for years. Old copy damaged. Just had to have another. Queen's music will be around for a long while.


  5. This Queen CD has given me hours of enjoyment from a group that is second to none. There sound is unique and allows them to stand out among the rest. Their music has stayed alive for years even though the highlight of their popularity was in the seventies. Queen will go on indefinitely as timeless music that can be enjoyed and relished for many years to come. I have no regrets with this CD and wouldn't hesitate to buy other albums from this more revered, admired, and talented group. Remember Queen, "You are the Champions!"

5 comments about Tattoo You.

  1. Apparently this album was made out of outtakes from previous albums but it's very good indeed. In fact it's one of their best albums from the 80's. It was released in 1981 and features both lead guitarists Ron Wood and Mick Taylor plus Wayne Perkins who played during the "Black And Blue" sessions. For the rhythm section there's rhythm guitarist Keith Richards, bass player Bill Wyman, and drummer Charlie Watts as always.

    The first track "Star Me Up" is one of their most popular songs by far! It's still played on radio frequently. "Hang Fire" and "Neighbours" are memorable up tempo rockers.
    There's also a jam called "Slave" that includes a catchy riff plus keyboard and saxophone solos.
    "Little T&A" is sung by rhythm guitarist Keith Richards and it's pure hard rock at it's finest. One of the best songs on the album!
    Another highlight is the R&B number "Black Limousine" which wouldn't sound out of place in one of their early albums while "Tops" features great vocals by Mick Jagger, catchy verses and chorus, and at the end there's a great outro solo by Mick Taylor.
    The last number "Waiting On A Frined" is the other popular song that's still played on radio and again features saxophone playing. Also note the ballad "Worried About You" where Mick Jagger sings in his falsetto voice and about half way into the song, a guitar solo by Wayne Perkins shows up.
    But the most unusal song here got be "Heaven". One of the most experimental songs the Stones ever did! It sounds like psychedelic rock.

    This is a an excellent choice if you want to get into 80's Rolling Stones as this is one of their best!
    Thanks for taking the time to read!
    Later...


  2. Hello, Happy 3itch. We have recommendations for you. (Not Happy?)

    Back in '81, I was so appallingly hip. Nothing but Gang of 4, PiL and Devo for me. "Hang Fire" on the dashboard, though; what a crunch - probably the last unconditionally great rocking pop Stones tune. Timeless adolescence, a perfect mate for "Get Off Of My Cloud." The silly vocal hook, Chuck Berry solo, trailer trash narrator, bar 'n grill drum rolls, brittle slapback - the genius is in the brevity. Gang of 4, PiL and Devo probably thought they were revolutionaries back then, the rubes. Who NEEDS, like, progress? "Black Limousine," throwaway changes but, DUDE, the FEEL of that solo. "Neighbors," both obnoxious and charming; so unabashedly the Stones. And "Start Me Up," reactionary as hell, the Stones doing the Stones. 20 years of substance abuse went into every lick. Live long enough and you can get away with ANYTHING.

    [Insert belch here.]


  3. The Rolling Stones had a string of stunning albums, up to "Exile on Main Street." Then, after a number of albums that had some strengths and some weaknesses, "Some Girls," one of their best came out. Then a disappointing "Emotional Rescue." But the Stones bounced back with a pretty good work, "Tattoo You." Many of the albums after "Exile" would have a few great songs--but also a number that did not measure up (and some were little more than filler). There is very little filler on "Tattoo You."

    The CD starts out, fittingly enough, with "Start Me Up," an absolutely classic Stones' rocker. The guitar riff is top notch, reminiscent of the best of the group's songs.

    "You start me up
    . . .
    You make a grown man cry."

    A real rocker. The band is in fine form here; this song has even been used (ugh) to signal the start of sporting events over the past decade or so.

    "Hang Fire." Just 2 minutes and 20 seconds, but what is packed into that brief time frame! The guitars growl nicely and the steady drumming of Charlie Watts provides a firm foundation for this song.

    "Black Limousine": Starts with some nice harmonica. This is one of the Stones'' home grown blues songs, a genre at which they have done well (recall the wonderful little classic, "Down in the Hole").

    "We used to ride baby,
    Ride around in a limousine.
    You looked so fine, baby,
    You in white and me in red."

    Sinuous guitar work is displayed and the Stones' rhythm section lives up to its reputation.

    "Waiting on a Friend": A softer sound, and effectively done! This is more intimate and contemplative than other pieces on this album. Nice piano work at the outset.

    "I'm just standing in a doorway,
    I'm just trying to make some sense.
    . . .
    I'm not waiting on a lady,
    I'm waiting on a friend."

    This represents an interesting change of pace.

    And these aren't the only songs of interest. As earlier noted, there is not much filler here. Other strong works: "Slave," "Neighbours," "No Use in Cryin'," and so on. Keith's obligatory song on this album is one of his better efforts.

    Rolling Stones' fans will appreciate this CD greatly. One of their best between "Exile on Main Street" and the present, along with "Some Girls" and "Bigger Bang."


  4. Although never less than the most visible of rock bands, the Stones were in the midst of a commercial resurgence that began with Some Girls in 1978. Tattoo You (1981) remains the last album of the Stones' classic period and for good reason. Not only does it contain their last true classic song in "Start Me Up" but it also has the tender "Waiting on a Friend", the melodic pop rock of "Hang Fire" and Keith's ode to his newfound love in the catchy "Little T&A". "Start Me Up" was unavoidable on the radio but it's highest charting position was number 2 for several weeks never quite hitting number 1. There was only one song during this time that received more airplay than "Start Me Up" and this song prevented it from topping the charts. Anyone know what it is? I'll tell you at the end.

    Upon release the album was divided into a rock side and a ballad side and the first half contains some of the punchiest rockers the Stones have done but the ballad side contains a lot of material that we wouldn't normally get all in one place on a Stones record...and the ballads are gorgeous ("Worried About You", "Tops" and the ghostly "Heaven"). I remember not liking "Heaven" very much and one day in the summer, after a long day at the beach with my then girlfriend, we began our ride home. The sun was going down and we were driving in my convertible over the bridge that takes you over the water and back to 'civilization'. "Heaven" began to play and the whole atmosphere of the song just reflected the whole moment. The evening sun beating down upon the ocean as we crossed over it with the top down on a warm summer evening. That image is forever tattooed in my brain when I hear that song. It captured the moment as perfectly as any song could.

    Critics of this release often cite that the material was a patchwork of leftovers and new songs that they put together for an album. This may be true but the Stones are not the first band to do this. Elo's "Do Ya" was written before ELO was even formed, Van Halen did "House of Pain" on 1984 when that song predated their first album in 1978. The list goes on...Hey, if you wrote the song, you deserve to use it. Sometimes the timing just isn't right.

    That being said, if you're new to the Stones this is a good place to start. It's got more of an MOR feel to it than any of their other records and the main reason why casual fans seem to prefer it to their other recordings, even the classics. The Stones always had hits, but they were never as commercial on one recording as they were here. Commercial doesn't always mean 'better' but in this instance, it's timeless rock that they haven't been able to top since.

    ANSWER: "Private Eyes" by Hall and Oates

    Yeah, I know..but nobody ever said life was fair...


  5. In the run-up to Scorsese's concert film Shine A Light I dusted off Exile on Main Street, the only Stones album that I owned until recently, and which I'd tried in vain to appreciate for probably 10 years. The timing must have been right because I found myself mentally comparing it to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon or the Great Pyramid of Cheops instead of to other rock albums.

    Since then I've been frantically collecting the Stones' recorded legacy and so far have heard everything except Black and Blue, Bridges to Babylon, and Steel Wheels. Though Exile is still tops, what surprised me is how consistent the Stones have been, and how they retained their kingship right until the end. Since I wasn't overly anticipating each album the way fans who grew up with the Stones had to, and bought the albums haphazardly, going from Undercover back to Beggar's Banquet and onto Between the Buttons, there was no disappointment. Yeah, I can hear that Beggar's Banquet or Sticky Fingers have a more "classic" feel than Emotional Rescue, but this is mostly because the singles from those earlier albums have been driven into our heads. Otherwise these guys have never really fallen off track. There is no growth apparent in their albums, but there is a constant, almost heroic reinvigoration of formula. No two Stones albums sound quite alike, yet they all have that raw, chaotic, "Where'd that bongo come from, and where'd it disappear to so quickly?" sense of surprise.

    The Stones are not only underrated as players and orchestrators ( though that word brings to mind tubas and mellotrons and George Martin, while the Stones try to conceal their art behind an organized messiness ), but Jagger's lyrics deserve much more respect. Jagger seems to embody a reluctant fallen angel, and his perspective on life has a fascinating ambivalence -- it's almost like he went against his nature to live up to the image of a rock star. There's a sense he's too smart to go to hell, but he's chosen to anyway. Most debauchees don't have this kind of self-awareness, or the ability to stare so coldly at their own downfall. Compared to this spectacle of ugly, monkey-man burnout, stretched out slowly and painfully over 40 years, Dylan seems like a boring mystifier cobbling Old Testament phrases together with hippie sentiment, and Lennon like a self-loathing would-be guru. Jagger is not admirable, but he's also not a hypocrite. He IS rock music, and always will be. In fact, I think the entire concept of rock will die with him. The irony of Jagger, like the irony of Lucifer, is the insane hard work that went into his hedonism, and that all those lines on his face are a result of the effort it took to make others believe that he's having fun.

    All this is a bit heady for a review of Tattoo You, maybe the most M.O.R. of the Stones' albums. I'm not even sure why I'm reviewing this one. Maybe because glimmers of a once-heavenly nature are evident on "Heaven" or "Waiting on a Friend," giving this album a slightly tragic feel that left me unexpectedly shaken. I thought this album would be radio-ready pop, and it is, but some of the songs here are the closest Jagger came to abandoning his act, the edifice of the shtick that became his selfhood. On the ballad-heavy second half of the album, the "real" Mick Jagger seems tantalizingly close to showing his face. That's why the cover shows someone covered in tattoos, because Jagger was obviously nervous about what he reveals here and had to pretend the mask was still on.

    I don't say this because the songs are slow and therefore signifiers of emotion. I mean, this observation is coming from a guy who is immune to many classic Stones weepers like "Wild Horses" or "Moonlight Mile," that I consider hollow pastiche.
    But on the second half of Tattoo You it doesn't just sound like Jagger is tired of the Stones, like on Dirty Work, it sounds like he's tired of being Mick Jagger. "No Use in Crying," his six millionth kiss-off song to a former girlfriend ( roughly ) even seems deliberately attenuated, half-baked, Jagger barely able to muster up the enthusiasm for the usual ignorant, heartless bile aimed at some poor bimbo that he'd been delivering at least since "Stupid Girl" from Aftermath. The song comes off, because of this, as somewhat beautiful, sounding like Jagger is trying to sing himself through all the useless hatred and aggression.
    Between 1981-1983 there might even have been temporary hope of escape from the eternal burden placed on this beast -- but as soon as the sleazy ( and great ) Undercover hit the shelves, that "Waiting on a Friend" Jagger was dead forever. You don't even have to listen to the album. The peerlessly trashy cover, where the girl's eyes are cut off, making her all torso, all crotch, and nothing human, in itself seems like a riposte to Tattoo You, to the vulnerability shown here, as if to say, "Tricked you, didn't I?"

    I don't know if it's sad or encouraging that my final thought upon the Stones catalogue and Jagger himself is "Thanks for the great music -- now see ya, wouldn't want to be ya." I think I'll hang fire.

5 comments about Live at Leeds.

  1. First time I heard this was over FM radio wearing headphones lying in bed, listening. They played the whole thing and they had short interval of somthing weird and then played the next cut, did this for the whole album, it was 1970 somthing.
    IF you havent listened to this whole thing with real headphones without distraction, do it, trust me, do it, I would not lie.
    Good lesson for guitar players also.


  2. It's The Who. Live. At Leeds University. Duh. How come you haven't bought it already? Powerful live set from seminal rock four-piece, blah, blah, sizzling energy, innovative songwriting, blah blah....Keith Moon....buy it. Listen to it. Have mind blown.


  3. Amazing live album is all that i have too say for this. The drums are absoutley amazing Keith Moon is probaly one of the greatest rock drummers of all time his peformance is great here. Pete Townshends guitar is great and everybody in this is really doing great on there instruments.

    This may just be one of there greatest peformances of all time it has the energy and they sound just really great here i think all the live versions sound great on here

    If your a big Who fan like me buy this album today you wont be dissapointed...


  4. Really horrible sound quality, and the band must have been totally wasted...Apparently with so many for sale , others thought the same.


  5. I'm not a huge fan of The Who but this record is undeniable. The band is on fire and at a creative peak. I actually like the single disc version more than the double (I'm not a fan of the Tommy material, sorry). Everyone needs a copy of this.

    If you like high energy R&R like this and MC5, Stooges, Ramones, etc check out Mighty High...In Drug City.

Purchase Information

5 comments about Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975).

  1. The cd was here quickly and was in excellent condition. I was very happy with the product and would purchase again from this seller.


  2. I loved this CD. Brought back some fantastic memories. The songs still sound great.


  3. This is a compaltion of all there tunes you will hear eery hour on most classic hits station. The eagles were awesome and this captures their best stuff.


  4. The Eagles are one of my favorite 70s bands. Their music is a combination of country and rock. This cd is a collection of their hits from the 70s.


  5. The main reason I'm giving the Eagles Greatest Hits a perfect 5 star rating is because it does a PERFECT job collecting all the major hit songs from the Eagles. While I feel many of these songs have overstayed their welcome, and even though I've moved on to other classic rock artists, what matters is how solid a greatest hits collection is, and let me tell ya- they don't get any more solid than this!

    However, it's probably best to pick up some of the bands regular studio albums instead. Start with the very first one and go from there.
