Greatest Hits is a budget-priced, seven-track selection of some of Horace Silver's best-known songs and crossover hits, and while there are plenty of essential items missing, it still functions as a good, affordable sampler, featuring such familiar cuts as "Senor Blues," "Song for My Father," "The Preacher," "The Cape Verdean Blues" and "The Jody Grind." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Personnel: Horace Silver (piano).

Purchase Greatest Hits CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | John Coltrane My Favorite Things CD (1961)
Greatest Hits album
 $8.75  
MY FAVORITE THINGS is a landmark album in jazz history. On the previous year's GIANT STEPS, Coltrane had established his credentials as a bebop master, composer and group leader. By 1960, he was ready to move on. On MY FAVORITE THINGS, Coltrane is in transition, searching for another level to which to raise his music. A new group featuring McCoy Tyner on piano, Steve Davis on bass and Elvin Jones on drums supports Coltrane on this experiment in non-Western harmonics and controlled dissonance.
Unlike some of Coltrane's later recordings, MY FAVORITE THINGS contains plenty of melodic elements, ...
| | Stone Temple Pilots No. 4 CD (1999)
Greatest Hits CD music
$9.09  
"Down" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance.
After dabbling in Beatlesque psychedelia on 1996's TINY MUSIC (SONGS FROM THE VATICAN GIFT SHOP, Stone Temple Pilots took a more straightforward rock approach with 1999's NO. 4. During the three years between albums, Scott Weiland released a solo album amidst a sea of personal problems, while the rest of Stone Temple Pilots joined forces with Ten Inch Men vocalist Dave Coutts for the one-off side project Talk Show. The time apart helped contribute to an STP record with much darker overtones than the sunnier TINY MUSIC.
Weiland's lyrics in particular allude to many of his past problems. The grinding "Pruno" tracks his falling into a downward spiral while the pounding guitars and ambient breaks of "No Way Out" help provide a background for lyrics ...
| | Shaken & Stirred CD (1997) (Import)
Greatest Hits music CDs
$11.79 
This 1997 release features James Bond-inspired tracks by artists such as Chrissie Hynde, Iggy Pop, Aimee Mann and more.
David Arnold, the composer of the Independence Day soundtrack, assembled a talented roster of musicians for his James Bond project. The tracks include the most famous themes from the super spy series, including "Moonraker," "Diamonds Are Forever," and "Nobody Does It Better." The covers by the Propellerheads, Leftfield, Pulp's Jarvis Cocker, and LTJ Bukem are inspired and novel approaches, but it is Aimee Mann who fully claims "Nobody Does It Better" for herself and makes it nearly impossible to believe that she didn't write and record it first. The only real criticism is that it seems too skimpy to have only 11 tracks. Where are the cool reinterpretations of "Live and Let Die," "A View to a Kill," and especially "Goldfinger"? A cool addition to the James Bond fan's collection, though not a replacement for the originals by Duran ...
| | David Crosby Crosby * Nash CDs (2004)
Greatest Hits songs
$15.89
HIGHLIGHTS is a single-disc distillation of David Crosby and Graham Nash's 2004 double-disc set CROSBY/NASH, subtracting seven songs (and combining the brief acoustic fragments "Grace" and "Jesus of Rio" into a single track) to make a total of 12. Cutting the nearly 80-minute set by over a third has strengthened the remaining songs immensely, showcasing gems like the sumptuous "Lay Me Down," which would have fit beautifully on any of the duo's 1970s albums, and Crosby's topical rant "They Want It All." The backing band is led by Crosby's son, James Raymond, who also wrote several songs, and features longtime collaborators like guitarist Jeff Pevar, bassist Lee Sklar, and drummer Russ Kunkel (whose son Nathaniel Kunkel co-produced with Crosby and Nash), giving HIGHLIGHTS a musical and personal link back to the duo's heyday.
In the late 1990s, after surviving serious health problems, David Crosby experienced something of an artistic rebirth by teaming with his long-lost son, keyboardist/songwriter James Raymond, in the group CPR. Here Crosby dusts off his duo with CSN bandmate Graham Nash, while still benefiting from Raymond's ...
| | Mike Bloomfield Count Talent & The Originals CD (1978)
Greatest Hits album
$15.15
Mike Bloomfield--perhaps best known for his work with Paul Butterfield and Bob Dylan--also had a successful solo career and released several potent collections of Chicago blues. This 1978 release (reissued in 2006) was recorded just three years before Bloomfield's drug addiction claimed his life, although as a player, band leader, and writer, he is still in fine form. This album, featuring an interesting rendition of Leo Sayer's hit song "When I Need You," is also noteworthy for being one of the few recordings of one of Chicago's favorite locals, vocalist/songwriter Nick Gravenites.
Mike Bloomfield did ...
| | Robin Trower Seven Moons CD (2008) Digipak
Greatest Hits CD music
$12.89 
Jack Bruce must have enjoyed his 2005 get-together with Cream so much that, when Clapton and Baker were unwilling to continue the collaboration, he rang up Robin Trower to renew the brief power trio fling they had in the mid-'80s. The Trower-Bruce pairing had released only two albums, B.L.T. and Truce, and was dormant since 1982, so this 2007 reunion was somewhat of a continuation of the project, albeit one separated by a quarter century. The results impressively continue where Truce left off, as Bruce brings his distinctive croon/moan to bluesy, riff-oriented tunes dominated by Trower's silvery guitar runs. Gary Husband fills the drum slot adequately if inconspicuously, but his contributions are mixed so far under Bruce's vocals and Trower's guitar that they are secondary. The previous two releases called in Trower's old Procol Harum lyricist Keith Reid and Bruce collaborator Peter Brown to write the words, but Bruce and Trower pen these 11 songs without outside assistance. Most tunes such as "Lives of Clay," a barely concealed rewrite of Cream's "Politician" lick, revisit familiar territory, and clearly these guys are not out to expand any boundaries. Bruce, who has had serious medical ...

Greatest Hits music CDs
$9.09
One of Johnny Winter's relatively few major-label albums since leaving Columbia in the late '70s, 1991's LET ME IN is happily free of any attempts to enhance his blues-rock sound with slick embellishments. Surrounded by a tight band featuring a full horn section, Winter plays and sings ...

| | Too Legit For The Pit: Hardcore Takes The Rap CD (2001)
Greatest Hits album
$12.45
The conceit behind this album is just too irresistible: A bunch of (mostly obscure) hardcore punk bands take on the giants of (mostly 1990s) hip-hop. The interpretations end up being surprisingly diverse: Candiria's rendition of "Deep Cover" (originally recorded by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg) is a sludge-funk grind; the Movielife take Public Enemy's "Can't Do Nuttin' for Ya Man" and strip it to the bone, building a new version out of a bass, funky drummer, one-note guitar ...
