The title might sound like hyperbole, but this two-disc collection is, in fact, a pretty fair summation of Michael Jackson's career up to 2005. Of course, it's impossible for two discs to hold every hit single Michael Jackson has ever had, but ...    Full Description

2 stars Good song selection, but major flaw
This set gives the impression of gathering many of Michael's hits together in their edited 45rpm single versions for the first time. But a close listen reveals that four songs -- Off the Wall, Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', Human Nature, and The Way You Make Me Feel -- were instead newly edited down from the album versions... a problem, since the original singles for those four were REMIXES, and have still never appeared on CD! Strange and upsetting that Sony would try to pass them off as the single versions. If they didn't have the correct tapes, they should have used the full-length album versions... not try to pass them off for something they're not. Also, the sound is too loud, overly maximized, which compresses the dynamic range and flattens out the sound. On the plus side, we do get the US CD debut of the 45 mixes of Another Part of Me and In the Closet. But where is the single mix of "Smooth Criminal"? Instead we get the album version, sans the heavy breathing on the intro that was originally part of the song. Still, two stars for what this set could have been, and is not.

5 stars Michael's Remarkable Audio History
Although his life in recent years has been filled with controversy, the one thing no detractor can ever take from him is the undeniable fact that Michael Jackson has always been able to make entertainment magic. As a child he was overwhelming in his ability to display a polished professionalism far beyond his years. And in adulthood his talent, charisma and style have never stopped maturing. This newest collection of familiar hit songs is an almost perfect compilation of his dazzling repertoire. So much is here from early recordings with his brothers to timeless songs like Billie Jean, Bad or Another Part of Me that have always had me dancing. Some people say very nasty things about Michael Jackson but they can’t diminish in any way his ever amazing talent and remarkable entertainment history. The only thing better than listening to these songs is seeing Michael perform in the ground breaking videos he has made from many of them.

5 stars Artist of the Millenium
Michael Jackson is my Artist Of The Mille.nium, he is by far the greatest singer in history. He has such a high voice, and sometimes low. From Matt Connell P.S We know you weren't guilty Michael!

4 stars Review from an avid MJ fan
I saw this album for the first time in this record store, and I was amazed at the track list of this album! All his famous songs that I love were there, and as soon as I have enough money, I'll buy a copy because an album like this is a collector's item. Peace!

Bryan Adams So Far So Good CD  (1993)

Essential Michael Jackson album
CD $12.05  4.8 stars Top 500 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.

The Japanese version features one additional track and a Region 2, NTSC-formatted DVD with interviews and a video. In the six years following 1998's HELLO NASTY, the Beastie Boys watched their hometown of New York City endure dramatic changes, most of them direct repercussions of the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. The trio's response is TO THE 5 BOROUGHS, an album that prominently features the WTC on its cover illustration of the Manhattan skyline (circa 2000), and lovingly looks at the past, present, and future of both ...

High School Class Valedictorian…College Graduate…Entrepreneur! When you are thinking of today’s typical rap superstar, these are phrases that rarely, if ever, come to mind. These phrases, however, only begin to describe the many talents and accomplishments of the self-proclaimed “Future of Hip Hop”…JAY DOLLAR. Born Jimmy Hicks, Jr. in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, Jay grew up in a small community which, like many parts of his small city, was overrun with drugs and crime. Jay made it a point in his life not to become a product of his environment. He always excelled in school and in sports. During his senior year in high school he was not only the class valedictorian, but he was also co-captain of the varsity basketball team and student council president. Two things that always stuck with Jay were his entrepreneurial spirit and his love for music, which is why his dream was to naturally start his own record label. This would not be a simple task. With few to none of his peers believing that he would succeed in the cut-throat world of the music industry, Jay set out to do it all on his own and founded BluffRock Entertainment. Noticing that today’s hip hop fan and artist alike had a unique fascination with the world of drug trafficking, Jay Dollar released the Lyrical Dope Mixtape Series under his BluffRock Entertainment which compared his fans’ addiction to his songs and lyrics to that of a drug addiction. With songs that glorified more legal forms of hustling, other songs that de-glorified the hip hop world’s love for all things Bling, and generally promoting uplifting the African-American society, Jay Dollar took a different route to get his message across. “Living in the environment that I did, having the type of people around me that I did, and having the type of parents I have helped me to be the artist I am today,” says Jay Dollar. “I made straight A’s in school during the day and hung out with drug dealers and gang members at night. I’ve witnessed both sides of the struggle and that has helped me to speak on several different topics from several ...
