Ably serving as a substitute for the excellent but out-of-print collection BOWIE: THE SINGLES 1969-1993, the two-CD BEST OF BOWIE serves as an outstanding career-spanning retrospective featuring material from as recent as 2002. Above all reflecting the visionary aptitude of a restless creative genius who switched into different musical guises the way some people change suits, these 38 cuts trace David Bowie's path from space-rock folkie ("Space Oddity") and glam god ("Ziggy Stardust") to blue-eyed soulster ("Young Americans"), and cutting-edge futurist ("Fashion").

21st-century kids might be aware of Bowie via covers by Nirvana ("The Man Who Sold The World") or the Wallflowers ("Heroes"), but it's equally likely they've heard playlist war-horses like '80s alt-pop classics "Let's Dance," "Modern Love," and "China Girl." Not to be missed are this icon's stellar collaborations with a wide range of talent including John Lennon ("Fame"), Queen ("Under Pressure"), Mick Jagger ("Dancing In The Streets"), and The Pat Metheny Group ("This Is Not America"). The latter material rounding out this collection is equally deserving of attention whether it's the howling nihilism of Bowie's group Tin Machine ("Under The God"), a Nine Inch Nails industrial-rock team-up ("I'm Afraid Of Americans [V1]"), or the 2002 reunion with '70s collaborator Tony Visconti ("Slow Burn").

All tracks have been digitally remastered.

Additional Tracks; Deluxe Edition

Compilation producers: Nigel Reeve, Jo Brooks.

Personnel includes: David Bowie (vocals, saxophone, keyboards); Mick Jagger (vocals); The Pat Metheny Group, Queen.

Producers include: Ken Scott, David Bowie, Tony Visconti, Harry Maslin, Paul Buckmaster.

Uncut (01/03, p.132) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...This double gathers 39 steps to greatness: all the kinky glam and Berlin angst hits, plus the '80s floor-fillers..."

I have to say as a long time Bowie Fan they put all the right stuff together for this CD and I'm not to sure how long it will take for us to have to buy the same thing again. My kids 9 and 11, my hubby 31 and myself 34 take it from car to home, to truck , to van , to the 4 stereos owned and it just never stops. Buy It! You will not be sorry.

5 stars Commentary, By Bowie
This 2-CD set is probably all you could ask for as a condensed history of David Bowie's music, if such a thing is possible anyway. Disc One has most of the fantastic, trend-setting important stuff from his Seventies music. If you're a fan, you'll be happy with what you hear, although I'll admit that I miss "Kooks", "Lady Grinning Soul" and "Right". After going through Disc One, you say, "Can Disc Two possibly be worth the trouble?" Don't kid yourself, he's far from finished. Disc Two picks up where "D.J." left off, with some hard-rock experimental songs in which I hear, among other things, a little preview of Marilyn Manson. Then, "Under Pressure" shifts us into a long dance-pop period, featuring some notable cuts: "China Girl", which to me will always be political; the ominous "Cat People"; the very smooth "This Is Not America" which has excellent, varied vocals by Bowie; and "Absolute Beginners", which glitters like an extended "Prettiest Star" (from "Aladdin Sane"). One disappointment - they left out "Never Let Me Down". Then, we return to harder sounds with Tin Machine's "Under The God" and we are treated to "I'm Afraid of Americans". The last 2 cuts are almost opposites. "Thursday's Child" is beautiful, leaving you with a feeling of hope and optimism. But then, "Slow Burn" is harsher, and reminds you that things aren't going to be perfect after all. One thing's for sure, though. This set proves that Bowie deserves his legendary status, if only for the daring variery he successfully has offered for more than 3 decades.

5 stars The Hits Compiled Chronologically And Smoothly
well, i'm collecting an entire collection of Bowie, but this 2 CD set compilation album is great for driving or housework or meditating or a party or whatever music... all the hits, remastered with great production value, one right after the other in chronological order of album release... and the tracklisting is very smooth; the order of the songs sound great together! good for the new or old Bowie fan, if you want to hear these classic songs played together without getting up to change the albums.

5 stars "Best of Bowie" Sums This Up!
This is an awesome collection from David Bowie. I highly recommend this over the 1-CD version because you'll regret not getting the other CD in the set if you hear the single CD one -- he's that good. I actually almost bought the 1-CD one in the store because they have the same cover, and I know I'd regret not getting more of his music if I'd have purchased the 1-CD one. This album is so awesome to listen to and is totally unique sounding from all other bands -- GET IT!!

Bryan Adams So Far So Good CD  (1993)

Best Of Bowie
CD $11.49  4.8 stars Top 100 Audio Samples Definitive Album
By 1993, when Bryan Adams released his first collection of greatest hits, he had enjoyed 12 years in the music business during a span that had seen hot trends like new wave and late '80s hair metal fall by the wayside. Adams managed to stay popular by sticking with an ear-pleasing brand of rock & roll that veered between edgy, bar-band style riff rock to more earnest, American-style roots rock in the tradition of Bruce Springsteen and Bob Seger. SO FAR SO GOOD gathers all the essential Adams tracks from his hugely popular '80s albums. This set of melodic rockers, inlcuding "Run to You," "This Time" "Kids Wanna Rock," and "Summer of '69" will be familiar to anyone who was near an FM radio during the era. Adams is a likeable rebel, a tough and tender troubadour singing songs ...
