| | ZZ Top Greatest Hits CD ZZ Top Discography of CDs
 (7 Customer Reviews)
Although it began as an album-oriented, hard-edged blues band, ZZ Top had amassed quite a number of Top 40 hits by the early '90s. All are featured on 1992's 18-track GREATEST HITS compilation, making it a more comprehensive career overview than 1977's shorter THE BEST OF ZZ TOP. The only problem is that it doesn't contain a single selection from such early ZZ Top classics as ZZ TOP'S FIRST ALBUM, RIO GRANDE MUD, or TEJAS.
But if you're searching for the best known ZZ Top tracks, GREATEST HITS is your best bet. Just about every radio staple that the trio penned is represented here, such as the '80s synth-meets-blues-rock classics "Gimme All Your Lovin'," "Sharp Dressed Man," "Legs," "Pearl Necklace," and "Sleeping Bag," plus such older favorites as "Tush," "Cheap Sunglasses," and "La Grange."
1983 album from Warner Brothers, packed with 18 tracks.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No zz top's golden age.
man do i love this band or what? other great trios are: rush, the police, cream, the jimi hendrix experience, grand funk railroad, E.L.P, green day and my favorite trio: triumph, my dad was a huge zz top fan even though he was more a beatle guy. i played him la grange he went crazy. the problem is that in the six pack box set they remastered the drums sounding like afterburner outtakes!. now the cars, girls, beards, furry guitars and texas boogie is so cool for the time the prblem is, will zz make another album? more or less. they will be joining super producer rick 'slayer' rubin for another album in 2009 or 2010. until then fire up the BBQ!.

Queen began life in 1972, formed by guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor, and bassist Tim Staffell. When Staffell left, May and Taylor elected to form a new band with vocalist Freddie Mercury. Bassist John Deacon completed the lineup. Their self-titled debut fused 70s glam and ...

Digitally remastered by George Horn (1995, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
Guided, perhaps, by musical snobbery or roots-rock phobia, some people inexplicably don't like Creedence Clearwater Revival. As the kings of earnest country-inflected rock in an age when radical stances were de rigueur, CCR sported straight-ahead tunes, and may have seemed a bit unhip. But their music stands the test of time with a vengeance. For the doubtful listener, this outstanding, 20-track hits collection ...

East, Leland Sklar, Cornelius Mims, John Giblin, Freddie Washington (bass); Sheila E.(percussion); Peter Gabriel, Sting, Marva King (background vocals).
In the early '80s, Collins took a break from the helm of Genesis to inaugurate a solo career that abandoned his group's art-rock agenda for a mainstream pop approach. In the ensuing years, the king of Nice Guy Pop established himself as one of the world's premier top 40 balladeers, as evidenced by the wall-to-wall hits that make up the balance ...

Greatest Hits songs
$14.09
Digitally remastered by Chris Bellman (Bernie Grundman Studios, Los Angeles, California).
Almost evenly split between tracks that feature glammy showman David Lee Roth and those that feature earthy screecher Sammy Hagar, BEST OF VOLUME I seems designed to let this pioneering hard-rock band's fans compare and contrast between its two frontmen. As if to drive the exercise home, BEST OF features three tunes cut in '96--two of them with Roth, who had been estranged from the band since 1985, and one with Hagar ("Humans Being," originally released on the soundtrack to TWISTER).
Otherwise, BEST OF presents the ...
| | Sultans Of Swing: The Very Best Of Dire Straits CD (1998)
Greatest Hits album
$10.55
Also includes material from Mark Knopfler's side project, The Notting Hillbillies.
Additional personnel includes: Sting, Jeff Porcaro, Joop de Korte.
All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.
This solid collection is a compelling career overview of one of rock's most distinctive groups. Led by Mark Knopfler, whose deadpan vocal style and stunning guitar technique characterize the band's sound, Dire Straits burst on the scene in 1978 with "Sultans of Swing." This VERY BEST OF begins there (even amid the ensemble's later hits, the lead-off track's ...
| | Bob Seger Greatest Hits CD (1994)
Greatest Hits CD music
$9.59 
Detroit has produced more than its share of great music: from jazz stars like Hank, Thad & Elvin Jones; to the Motown stable of vocal artists, and legendary rhythm players Benny Benjamin and James Jamerson. Not to mention a whole lot of hard funk and primal metal, everyone from Funkadelic and Ted Nugent, to Iggy & The Stooges and the MC5--hard driving, rugged rock and roll. Put it all together with a touch of pop, and a lot of soul, and you've got Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band.
It's easy to divine Seger's influence on the music of Bruce Springsteen, and draw parallels with the vocal style of Van Morrison. The epic themes of Seger's characters on "Night ...
| | Cliff Richard/Don't Stop Me Now CD (2002) (Import) Import
Greatest Hits music CDs
$11.79
This remastered two-fer CD includes two of Cliff Richard's original LPs from the 1960s, 1965's CLIFF RICHARD, featuring "Angel" and "Sway," and 1968's DON'T STOP ME NOW, featuring a collection of covers of early rock hits and more recent singer-songwriter material.
Two of Cliff Richard's mid-'60s albums, Cliff Richard and Don't Stop Me Now, are combined on one CD for a generally pleasing (though somewhat uneven) mix of sounds. Cliff Richard is much more of a ballad album, casting the singer as a pop/rock crooner backed by the Norrie Paramor Orchestra and the Mike Sammes Singers. There are a couple ...

Greatest Hits songs
$9.69 
When a rocker who is known for his association with one band forms a new band, some people inevitably assume that the new band will be similar. But that isn't necessarily the case. Take Open Hand founder Justin Isham, for example. The singer/guitarist is known for his association with the Los Angeles-based hardcore band I Awake, but Open Hand isn't hardcore. Even if one has a very liberal and far-reaching definition of that term, The Dream cannot honestly be described ...
