"Again" won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance and was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rock Song.

For the five albums prior to the release of GREATEST HITS, Kravitz doggedly mined the influence of late-1960s/early-'70s icons Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, Sly Stone, and Curtis Mayfield, churning out groovy, guitar-heavy music that updated those classic sounds without necessarily reinventing them. But all of this, ironically, is to his credit, because it is the overwhelming familiarity of Kravitz's sound that holds such powerful appeal.

GREATEST HITS collects Kravitz's best-known singles under one cover, from the blazing Hendrix-inspired opener "Are You Gonna Go My Way" to the Philly Soul ballad "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over" (complete with backing strings) to his stadium-tailored cover of the Guess Who's "American Woman." The set reaches back to Kravitz's 1989 debut, LET LOVE RULE, and up to 2000's previously unreleased single "Again," showcasing, all the while, the performer's knack for pleasure-triggering songcraft, singing, and production. Though some critics may thumb their noses at Kravitz's blatantly retro music, his tunes are undeniably raucous, catchy, and fun.

Personnel includes: Lenny Kravitz (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, sitar, bass, drums); Abraham Appleman, Elena Barere, Barry Finclair, Regis Iandiorio, Jean Ingraham, Paul Peabody, Joel Pitchon, Richard Sortomme, Dale Stuckenbruck (violin); Lamar Alsop, Julien Barber, Susan Pray (viola); Richard Locker, Eugene Moye, Mark Shuman, Fred Zlotkin (cello); Richard Sarpola (bass).

Engineers include: Henry Hirsch, Kevin Halpin.

5 stars Don't Listen To The Critics
This is a great compilation by a highly talented musician and songwriter. Those who criticize likely do so because his style is more like the best of the 70's than the worst of the "new gen" untalented idiot bands like Greenday and the aptly named All American Rejects. If you are steeped in rock and roll of ALL genres and not just terribly limited in your outlook and tastes you will appreciate Kravitz's style and virtuosity. The choices included here are a fine representation of Kravitz's work, but I would only recommend even such a great compilation as this if you don't want to buy his other albums, all of which are excellent with almost no mediocre inclusions. Frankly, I feel it was too early to release a Greatest Hits album, but the record companies always seem to want to squeeze a little more profit as soon as an artist has a few albums under the belt. Lenny is a long way from lapsing into obscurity, as his 2004 release "Baptism" proves (a fabulous album).

4 stars Lenny might be lame, but his music is good listening
Not knowing much about Lenny Kravitz in the past, I've always like most of his music, especially 'Are You Gonna Go My Way'. Awesome track. Now I see who he is, I think he's kind of lame, but his music still rocks. This album has all the good stuff.

Best overview? It's okay to skip other releases depending what age group factors in for compilations. Otherwise, you're on par with this compilation :)

3 stars Back to 70īs
Considering the lot of bad songs weīve heard on rockīnīroll since the middle of the 80īs, itīs not a bad idea someone who brings back the riffs of Led Zeppelin or Hendrix. LK sounds me better than a thousand bands who made "original"(?) music, like the melodic heavies Dream Theater and (argh!) Yngwie Malmsteen.

Some of Limp Bizkit's critics were quick to dismiss the band as a passing fad, and few lead singers seem to be as hated as Fred Durst, but the undeniable facts remain: since rap-metal came into its own, Limp Bizkit have been among the genre's top players. Their much-anticipated follow-up to SIGNIFICANT OTHER treads similar ground, with a few hidden aces to spare. ...

The short story.....Ultraset is a San Francisco based 3-piece indie rock band. With influences ranging from Thin Lizzy to the Cocteau Twins.... the result is a blend of lush pop, muscular guitar rock, with a healthy dose of longing ......Need to know it all? Read on.Ultraset is the latest incarnation of a band actually conceived in 1995, in Madison, Wisconsin. Bassist Derrick McBride, after working with several successful bands, wrote and arranged the music for a new project- The Woolgathering. Feeling the need for change during the late 90s they headed west, landing in the Bay Area in 1997. The newly named Sweetheart enjoyed some success in the San Francisco area, playing at most of the popular venues and consistently drawing crowds. The poppy and melodic sound earned them an EP release and a performance at North By Northwest in 2000. But marriages, babies, and drummers would eventually take their toll on Sweetheart, ending this run, albeit prematurely. Like a bolt from the blue, McBride's childhood friend and guitar gunslinger Jeff Hall moved to town at just the right time. With their former guitar player ...
