Few bands of the 1960s retained as much a sense of the roots of rock and roll as did Creedence Clearwater Revival. Their music is rife with country, rockabilly, and R&B influences, a combination that produced several hit singles--most of which are present on this collection. These include "I Heard It through the Grapevine," "Lodi," "Up Around the B ," "Who'll Stop the Rain," and of course "Bad Moon Rising." This is an excellent greatest-hits collection, and a perfect introduction to the music of a band that has been enduringly influential. --Genevieve Williams

As Im in my sixties you might think Im to old, but this is my sort of music.I reckon " john fogerty " is a great singer. Just listen to find out. Hope you like it the same as I do.

CCR.......2007-06-28

An excellent greatist hits CD, I used a handful of songs to burn a CD with other related style of music.

great stuff.......2007-06-27

listening to this CD makes you realize how great john fogerty was back in the day. great songs, great sound.

Gets me going in the morning.......2007-06-27

I've been listening to this CD for 2 weeks in my car on the way to work.

Soundtrack of an era.......2007-06-15

This is an excellent compilation of CCR's tunes from the late 60s, early 70s. There's a reason why Credence tunes kept popping up in movies and commercials. It's great music and evocative of the era from which it comes. No need for me to review the individual tunes; anybody with a radio has head most of them. A must-have for any music fan.

DMB fans will love.......2007-05-28

This is a great set of DMB music for avid fans, or the ocassional listener.
It includes hits like the sexy Say Goodbye, to more "top 40's" radio-played hits like where are you going.
I love Dave, and his sexy voice, the instrumentals....so if you're new to Dave it's a good place to start. It's a mix of live and studio performances, so if you don't listen to any other cd's you'll miss out on some other good live tracks, but live or in the studio- he's still a magician!

Love the live songs........2007-04-06

Only really listen to the live disk. Everything else is repetitive. Maybe another live album would have made more sense.

Misrepresented.......2007-02-21

First of all I would like to make it clear that I am an avid DMB listener and fan. Secondly I should let you know also that I do not own a studio album from the band. Every album I have is live. The title of this compilation is a misrepresentation of it's objective. This album is not a "best of" album, but more of a "greatest hits" album. It compiles the majority of the band's most successful radio hits even though the majority of the songs that did not make the radio consistantly are much better. Personally, I think that "I Did It" is one of the worst songs that Dave ever did along with "Where are you Going." I would say that if a real dave fan were to put this together replacing some of the songs currently present, I would say that The Best of Whats Around, Rhyme and Reason, Lie in Our Graves, Proudest Monkey, Say Goodbye, Rapunzel, The Dreaming Tree, Last Stop, The Stone, If I had It all and Bartender would and should be on this album as a BEST OF album. But reality is is that this is a Greatest Hits album. Maybe a best of tour album will be released, but between Central Park, Fenway, Listner Supported and Red Rocks (the old one) you already have that. Do yourself a favor and avoid this album.

Definately A Great Gift for Any DMB Fan.......2007-02-05

Definately a great gift idea for any dave matthews band, to complete a collection or just start one.

Live dics makes this album.......2007-01-17

This album is great for Dave Fanatics and Casual listeners. The best of album is the typical best of disc that casual listeners will listen to for hours. The fanatics didnt purchase the album for the best of but rather the live disc that contains tracks from around the world and truly is a great production of their talents. I ordered online so i have the second live disc and its fantastic and includes tracks that casual listeners probably have never heard of before. I suggest this ablum if you are a casual listener b/c you will truly understand why the fanatics line up hours in advance for concert tickets every single year.

Between their name, stage introductions spoken in a uniquely twisted form of Spanglish, bizarre lucha libre attire, and ongoing association with Latino rockabilly revivalist Big Sandy, Spanish has always been a major facet of Los Straitjackets' shtick. So it's little surprise that the Nashville-based garage/surf/twang/trash rockers decided to head south of the border for an all-covers album. You don't need to hablar español to shimmy, shimmy, shake along with the quartet. Guest vocals from Cesar Rosas of Los Lobos (who also produced the disc), Little Willie G. of East L.A.'s vintage Thee Midniters, and Big Sandy bring a soulful strut to these punchy stompers. True to form, liberties are taken with the song titles: "Hang on Sloopy" is now "Hey Lupe," "Bony Maronie" comes out as "Popotitos," and "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" inexplicably appears as "El Microscopico Bikini." But that's all part of the fun as the masked men and singers swing through hot-tamale versions of signature hits from the Kinks, the Troggs, the Coasters, and others. Although the Fab Four aren't here as songwriters, their spirit energizes rocking renderings of "Dizzy Miss Lizzy," "Slow Down," and "Anna," all early Beatles staples. The Straitjackets haven't entirely abandoned the instrumentals from their own early years, as the scorching "Whittier Blvd." attests. Slow dancers will swoon to ballads such as "Dejenme Llorar" and Barbara Lynn's sublime "You'll Lose a Good Thing." Liner notes tell us that Spanish covers of many of these tunes managed to become moderate hits in the '60s and '70s, but it's safe to say these fresh versions will spice up any carnival. Let the fiesta begin! --Hal Horowitz

This is my first Los Straight Jackets CD but it won't be my last! Really enjoy the old yet new sound!

Mucho Fun!.......2007-05-26

Great song selections, rock solid playing and vocals from some terrific performers... what more could you ask for? I have no idea why one person gave this release a single star. This is a fun album. Los Straitjackets & Big Sandy also put on a heck of a live show by themselves, but when they tour together... watch out! You won't stop dancing for about a month. This disc is highly recommended.

What a disappointment!.......2007-05-13

A new Los Straitjackets CD? Produced by Cesar Rojas? Sounds like a winning combo doesn't it?
'Fraid not mi amigos. This CD is a major work of spam. Absolutley no originality and not even a trace of
enthusiasum. I'm sorry..I am a fan of Rojas and the masked men, but this is not a work too be proud of.
Lackluster vocals by Lil Willie G and even less effort from Big Sandy. Pass on this one carnales.

Customer Reviews:

Good stuff, not the greatest.......2007-07-11

This is a tough one to review. Zepplin was indisputably a great band, and I'm a fan, so it would seem natural to just give it a 5. But I don't quite feel this collection enough for that. The good songs on this collection are awesome, some of the best rock from the 70s for sure. These guys had great talent and great music and lyrics. However, the collection's not as complete as it could be and some of the chosen songs are lesser-knowns that are kind of long. The songs that are longer kind of slow things down and gets a little tedious at times. The Zepplin fan should get this collection as a way to have a bunch of the really good tunes in one location, that's the chief strength here.

Early Days, Better Days.......2007-07-05

Was impressed with the album. Was missing a few songs that I really wanted, but over all, it was worth my money.

A nice concise jolt of Zeppelin.......2007-03-23

I really wanted to give this 5 stars, but.....I couldn't. Because.....

I have to first agree with the reviewer who commented about Heartbreaker, Livin' Lovin' Maid, and Misty Mountain Hop being excluded from this set. I felt similarly about those songs, as well as Thank You, which, as obscure as it was, I have always counted as one of my favorites.
But, on the other side of the coin, when do we ever find a greatest hits compilation that has each and every song we want? Never.
That said, I went and bought this CD because my young son is very much into drumming and is now becoming familiar with great rock drummers. So I knew he had to get to know Bonzo, and when I saw this in the store I grabbed it up because it had a really good lineup. When we popped it into the dashboard on the way home - wow - we both really enjoyed it, he was air drumming in the back seat like a lunatic and I was just thoroughly enjoying one song after another. If it included the above songs, it would be a true stairway to heaven for me. This set is great, highly recommend it.

Great for introduction to Zeppelin.......2006-08-10

The Early Days, were the introduction to Led Zeppelin for me. The Latter Days came shortly after. The reason I say these two albums are great (especially the first of the two) is how well they introduced someone to the band. The Early Days, when I first got it, I realized every single song on the CD was an absolute masterpiece and within a week, Zeppelin had surpassed GNR on my favourite all-time band. The complete studio albums came soon after.

I understand why an older fan of Led Zeppelin would be disappointed with this; it misses a few major hits such as Ramble On, Heartbreaker, Over the Hills and Far Away, and The Rain Song (these songs could have still fit onto the two albums without passing the 80-minute CD limit). However, I find this almost a good thing, because it led me to not end up disappointed when getting their studio albums, realizing that there were even more masterpieces than just the ones on the greatest hits, for example: the ones listed above, Living Loving Maid, Tangerine, and all the remaining songs on the fourth album.

With such little new music as great as once was, it's becoming more necessary for younger music-listeners such as me, to look into classic rock like Zeppelin. There was no greater way than by getting the Early Days and the Latter Days.

And, how much better to have all the songs in their albums' order on a greatest hits compilation, yet to still have it end on the uncomparible Stairway to Heaven. Great job.

Leaves out too many great songs........2006-07-24

If this is a "best of", then why are average songs here when Zep has so many great ones?
Here are ones that NEED to be in a best of for Zeppelin that were omitted here.

-Ramble On
-Heartbreaker / Livin Lovin Maid
-Over The Hills And Far Away\
-Dyer Maker
-The Ocean
-Fool In The Rain

Overall it's a good collection that has all their biggest songs, but it still has some average songs and is missing a lot of great songs.

Buy it for a good overview of their career.

The Book of Genesis tells us that God created "the evening and the morning" on the third day. It's hard to say when is the best time to listen to this southern Christian rock act's rousing tunes, though morning is likely the best, as their anthemic alt-rock is filled with enough praise and worship to get even the most jaded listener through the day. In their 11-year recording history, the band has built up a loyal fanbase, won Dove and Grammy awards, and spent innumerable miles on the road. On Chronology, Vol. 1, Third Day looks back at the first half of their career with a dual CD/DVD disc with characteristic generosity. A handful of live and rare numbers round out new mixes of hits like "Forever" and "I've Always Loved You," while two of their most-loved early numbers, "My Hope Is You" and "Thief," have been entirely re-recorded. The DVD is the real meat here, with five early music videos, six live performances from the Dove shows, and excerpts from eight handheld videos made by fans, which all show how hard these guys can kick it. This is no paint-by-numbers best-of, but an awesome tribute that will satisfy devoted fans and the newly curious alike. --Mike McGonigal

Third Day At Their Best.......2007-07-12

To all Third Day fans, this CD is a must have. It is not just the original songs placed on one CD and re-released, but the guys have gone to the trouble of re-recording all the tracks on this CD. And it's an awesome result.

The DVD that comes with the CD is also good value. You get to see the guys in their element, just worshipping God with out any inhibitions.

If you love Third Day's music then you will not be disappointed with this venture. I highly recommend you buy this CD.

XLNT!.......2007-05-15

Let me start off by saying Third Day's Cronology volume 1 is a fantastic dc/dvd! You are definately getting you're money's worth! Not only are you getting an audio cd packed with hitsongs, rarities, and live performances, you're also gonna a dvd full of realy neat stuff! I'd like to tell you a little about the cd first. The audio portian of this package contains 18 tracks, most of whitch are not available elswhere. You get remixes of songs from the band's debut album simply entitled "Third Day" as well as a newly recorded verssion of"Thief" You get stuff from their 2nd 3rd, and 4th albums, as well as previously unreleased live performances of "Black Bird" and "Alien" There's also a newly recorded verssion of "My Hope is You" But wait there's more! You also get tracks from a rare 1999 ep. Still not convinced this a bargin? The dvd features early videos, live performances, and bootleg videos from the early 90s before Third Day was signed to a record deal. But I'm not quite finished yet! There's also audio commentary from the band durring the early videos and the bootlegs. So there you have it! everything that comes in this wonderful package. I think that Chronology vol 1 is an outstanding retrospective on Third Day's early, as well as an absolute bargin for the price even if you pay fullprice. Trust me you're getting your $'s worth. PS Be on the lookout for Chronology vol2 release date August 17th 2007 Thanks for reading my review. K C stewart

A MUST HAVE!!!.......2007-05-14

If you are a Third Day fan this cd/dvd combo is a MUST HAVE!!! It has some great history about the band and you can watch how they have all grown up together. God has tremendously blessed them, because they have all been faithful to Him. I have really enjoyed this collection.

A Great Compilation for the fans.......2007-04-01

Although I'm a big Third Day fan, I bought this mainly for the DVD stuff and was quite pleased with the overall CD/DVD package (the DVD stuff is great for any fan). In fact, I was pretty shocked at how good this CD was. Before I purchased it, I wasn't excited to hear "remakes" of their old stuff; I have all of their albums on my iPod, so why would I need to hear it again? But I tell you what, I absolutely love the new mixes / remakes. For example, I liked how Thief was from their first album, but it wasn't a favorite of mine...something was missing. The new version of Thief on this CD is exactly what was missing. The new arrangement is what this song needed from day 1. I've listed to that song 5-10 times already while working around the house. And, the other songs are just as good. The mix of remakes, new takes, live ones, and rare ones are worth the investment.

If you're the least bit interested, pick it up...you won't be disappointed.

Awesome,Awesome,Awesome.......2007-03-30

I have every Third Day CD, and almost didn't get this one because I figured it didn't have anything new on it. Boy , am I glad I didn't pass this one up! The DVD disc alone is worth the purchase price! And then the new version of Thief is a very nice addition. But I have to say my favorite new song ( which is not new. they recorded it in 1999, but never released it) is "Long Time Coming". That is an awesome song! If you like Third Day ( and who couldn't)You will love this song. And the other new/old song, "She Sings in Riddles", is very good too. This set is almost as good as seeing them live, and in one way it's better - You can put it on any time you want to.

collected.......2007-05-26

What can be said about Depeche Mode? They are definitely a major band. They are the only band from the era to stay popular for 25 years and "be new" constantly. They are the only rivals to REM and U2. Those rare bands that constantly do new albums that are interesting and can play large arenas and not seem like a nostalgia act. This "Best Of" collection may not be for the real Depeche Mode fan. They probably have all these tracks. I just saw them for the first time last year, and was thrilled. They came out of the electronic scene that John Foxx, Gary Numan, and New Order created. I don't think it was until "Everything Counts" that Depeche Mode had broken away from the pack. It has been said that they took their music into a dark place in the last 1980s, and they only got more popular. I find myself being attracted to "Shake The Disease" most of all from the early material. It just sound like the most advanced thing they ever did musical, and vocally. I also like "Precious" a lot. This is a cool collection.

What i have to say about Depeche Mode..
Only that its awesome!!!

They've sold over 13million copies of their albums!!
Anyways.. i think this truly does bring out the best of Depeche Mode if u've never heard of them before..

Guaoo!.......2007-05-10

Voy a ser sincero,yo no era fanático de esta banda,los recuerdos que tenía de ellos es de su música ochentosa plagada de sintetizadores,completamente electrónica y en esa época era heavymetalero radical,pero definitivamente el crecimiento se acompaña la madurez y en este caso se abren nuevas tendencias musicales;esta gente es excelente!no estoy seguro si este The Best Of Vol.1 está lo más representativo de este grupo,pero una cosa si es cierta,estoy enganchado al mismo!no conocía su etapa noventosa y me atrevería a decir (con permiso de sus conocedores más acérrimos)que es la mejor etapa del grupo!de mi cabeza no salen la exitante Personal Jesus,el ritmo pegajoso de It's no Good,la desgarradora y poderosa I Feel,la ritmica y nostálgica Enjoy the Silence...también se puede disfrutar de sus éxitos de los ochenta como Just Can't get Enough,Master and Servant...y lo mas reciente Precious,la instrospectiva Dream On,Suffer Well...qué mas puedo decir?Material de primera!yo por mi parte voy a comprarme todos los CD's para saber qué mas me estoy perdiendo,pero este para comenzar es un palo a la cabeza!Nota:la información de los años de las canciones la busqué previamente a la escritura de esta revisión,yo no sabía nada de esta gente...

Great CD, .......2007-03-22

Pretty much every song on this album is well-done and easy to listen to. My favorites are "Just can't get enough" (a great song from the 80s) and "Enjoy the Silence."

Their music is quite distinct and I listen to them always on long driving trips. This group really knows how to play.

Anyone who is in their 30s to 40s range will most likely enjoy listening to this. However, I think anyone anyone at almost any age might like this CD.

It took over 20 years for Van Halen to release a Best of album, and even then, the band downplayed the effort. Instead sticking to the original plan of releasing a two-disc set--one of material with original frontman David Lee Roth, and the other with his 11-year replacement Sammy Hagar--the band opted for a single CD chronicling their entire career. For the previously uninitiated, it's a golden introduction to a band that changed the face of '80s hard rock. Guitar-blazing old tracks like "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love," and "Dance the Night Away" segue into more commercial numbers like "Jump" and "Panama" from 1984. These in turn, set the stage for Hagar's slicker, more polished vocals on "Right Now" and "How Do I Know When It's Love." But while newcomers will be thrilled with the delights within, old fans will probably find little of use, since the two highly touted new tracks with Roth are pretty disposable. --Jon Wiederhorn

Not my music........2007-03-10

I couldn't tell one song from the next. Baby, Baby was popular.

Rushed out, missing many fan and radio favorites, but I do like the 2 new Dave songs........2007-02-07

And for that Brief moment, will the reunion happen...nope, and in slide former Extreme frontman Gary Cherone. Yes, this single disc greatest hits is missing so much, and I always wondered, where is Volume 2? This album is Heavily Sammy, despite the 2 new tracks. It does miss so many of the classics as other reviewers have said. The newer Best of Both Worlds does make for a much more complete hits collection, but this cd is a mush have just for the fact of the 2 new David lee roth songs...what could have been. Oh well, i'll take what i can get, another unfortunate event in the wacky saga that in Van Halen. And how did they outdue the mess surrounding this album...Van Halen 3..wow. Overall, this CD is for a Van Halen Fan collection, but not nessecary for a regular collection, not a must need greatest hits collection.

Why Buy It? .......2006-10-02

I won't buy anything with Van Hagar on it. While this CD has a bunch of actual Van Halen songs, there's way too much of that dork Sammy on it. Not only that, but too many great classics are missing. I will just continue to collect the original albums. Forget the best ofs anyway. They always suck.

Van Hagar is not Van Halen and will never be. I can't believe any self respecting Van Halen fan would fail to realize that.

4.5.......2006-07-01

Van Halen is an incredible band and this album covers some of their best music. SOME. The bad part of this compilation is it's missing some of the other and earlier hits like

Jamie's Crying,
Runnin' With The Devil,
You Really Got Me,
Best of Both Worlds,

and a bunch of others. It's a great album if you're just getting into Van Halen, but the fact that Volume 2 never came out i suggest you get "The Best of Both Worlds". Or better yet, buy the 11 other albums and create your own compilation. Still, this is a great buy. Van Halen ROCKS!

Beck Didn't Mind.......2006-06-19

As we all sadly know, DLR was ousted from the Van Halen reunion when he "stole the show" from Beck at some MTV function. Eddie Van Halen found this incident to be absolutely rude and therefore he kicked DLR out of the band, again. Fortunately for us two songs were recorded during their brief reunion and are included on this album.

"Me Wise Magic" and "Can't Get This Stuff No More" are better than 90% of anything Van Haggar ever did. This greatest hits is much better than "Best of Both Worlds" because it is more David Lee Roth oriented and we all know that DLR was Van Halen (despite the band's name).

Do yourself a favor and buy this album.

A great find!.......2007-07-15

Sister Hazel did it again! They made a record that you can just stick in the car and play right through without ever hitting the "skip" button. There are many great songs on this album so it's hard to pick a favorite, but "On Your Mind" really does it for me. Hazel's excellent drummer, Mark Trojanowski, finds some incredible rythyms that are reminiscent of The Police - and then the vocal harmonies will just have you singing in the car. "Sweet Destiny" and "Boy Next Door" are two more irresistable melodies and reminders of all that is great about this band from Gainesville, Florida. "Grand Canyon" is just classic Sister Hazel and will have you up and dancing.
If you don't own any Sister Hazel yet, you really should check out Chasing Daylight and their last album, Absolutely, which is also loaded with greatness. Everyone needs at least 2 or 3 Sister Hazel albums to just put on at a party and then forget about needing to change the music. And if you watch their "rockumentary" DVD, "A Life in the Day", you'll see why those of us in Florida love to catch them live in concert . . . early and often!

Great Great and just GREAT!!.......2007-07-15

Why in the H*ll don't these guys get to number ONE everywhere in the world??
Come on everybody!! , there is no band who writes songs like these do.
Here in holland some songs are used for commercials, and that's not what the songs are used for.
The songs need to be on radio for everyone to hear and buy!!

This album is a really great one, i rank it higher than LIFT and i think it's fair enough to say LIFT is GREAT but the weakests of al SH albums.
My favorite album is still to this date ' Chasing daylight' and its one of my all time favo albums!!

They say this album is all leftover!!, damn then i wanna hear everything else!!
This is just to great to be not released.
SWEET DESTINY and Sail AWAY or my favo songs of the album and there is not one bad song on here!!

Damn i LOve sister hazel!!!!

THANX GUYS

FAN FROM HOLLAND

Best Band Ever.......2007-07-09

Being a B-sides album definetely doesn't leave BAM! out of the competition for "Best Sister Hazel Album". Of course, it is impossibly hard to choose the best one - just as hard as it is to choose a favorite song out of BAM!. After listening to it a few times, you realize what a B-side means with Sister Hazel: instead of being not-so-good songs, they all fit right in with the rest of their work. The one reason why they didn't come out in previuos albums was lack of space, but they are really songs that should have always been there.

Most of the tracks go along the same lines as the band's previous records. There are the upbeat feel-good songs like Grand Canyon, and Sail Away, which takes you right into the Rock Boat, the band's yearly music festival at sea. Then there are the beautifully written ballads like Sweet Destiny, On Your Mind, and Mona Lisa.

For the fans who are always eager to hear the band doing something different, there's the punk-rock of Work In Progress, and the heavier Mosquito. But the one thing that is never different is that there is not one bad song in the whole album. Pretty soon you forget that these are songs you didn't know a short time ago, and each and every one of them becomes like an old friend you often find yourself thinking about.

The cover of BAM! shows the guys as superheroes, and that's what they really are. Time and again they manage to write a song that relates so completely with what is going on in our lives, it makes us feel like someone out there understands us, we're not alone and everything will be all right in the end. For me, this time, it's What Kind of Living, a catchy song about being stuck in a relationship going nowhere. Sister Hazel has saved my life more than once in this way, by bringing music and beauty to every kind of feeling, and for that they really are my superheroes.

Any Sister Hazel fan absolutely must have this album, because the collection would be incomplte without it. And anyone who is not yet a Sister Hazel fan... it's time to start! So turn up the volume, add a little BAM! to the Ginger Ale, and go have fun with this newest Hazel journey!

ZAP, WHAM, BAM!.......2007-06-30

My first listen to this CD felt like someone had just strapped me on an exhilarating RIDE and I didn't want OFF! We are the lucky fans who get another ROCKIN CD from the Far Out Fab Five! From the first cut, What Kind of Living, you feel the energy! You know they're having a BLAST making this for their fans! Having listened to the Boy Next Door from Ken's acoustical set on TRB03, it's amazing to me that they have all these songs dancing in their heads for years! Work in Progress feels like it could be their theme song because following their passions have carved their careers in this fashion. Sweet Destiny is a classic SH song! Love the Block Copeland harmonies and the sha na na na nas! Especially love the instrumentals on the ending of On your Mind. Sick to My Soul has much energy, has you snapping, and lyrics that will surely touch alot of our heart strings. Mosquito is a song with a quirky analogy of to how love can make you feel. Not taking themselves too seriously is a trait we don't want them to lose! By the time you get to Little Black heart, you are in FULL throttle!! After the first verse and the instruments kick in, you're screaming, "YES!!" Definitely one of my favorites on this CD. Love the order of the songs too. You are ROCKIN hard and then Sail Away comes on, and smooths out the ride, taking you onto "higher ground"! Onto Wrong the Right Way and you feel yourself back in time somewhere, being able to relate. Never been to Grand Canyon, but listening to this song makes you want to explore and hike, and inspires you. Save Myself is an introspective tune, pushing you to let go of your fears and be true to yourself. Drew's southern drawl in Can't Get You Off My Mind reminds us of the many faces of these artists and how well they blend. As for She's Gone, I can't WAIT to hear this one LIVE! It starts off melancholy and by the time we get into Ryan's and Jett's guitars and Mark's heartbeat, don't have a face left - it was ROCKED OFF! Saving the best for last, Mona Lisas! Truth Is, when I kept hitting rewind, I knew it was my favorite! Ye-e-ah to Ryan's licks and kicks!

Thanking our lucky stars that these 5 musicians and the various other artists helping with producing, mixing, or playing their instruments, have produced this passionate, fun, lively CD! Anxiously awaiting more BAM!!! :O)

add a little "BAM" to the gingerale!!.......2007-06-25

Sister Hazel is everything that music should be. The artists are five of the nicest guys who genuinely care about their fans. With all they give to the "Hazelnut" community, they really are like their superhero characters on the cover. Listening to a Hazel cd is like hanging out with a close group of friends. It's fun, comfortable, and you can spend hours and hours with them and it feels like just a few minutes. And, like with true best friends, you are challenged to think, feel, and connect. Sister Hazel's songs are meaningful, soulful, and speak to the world in which we live, and the hearts in each of us. With honest, raw passion, the music reflects all the different places on the emotional spectrum and takes the listener on a journey from heartache to utter ecstasy. There is enough "grit" in the music to keep it real, and yet from the positive optimism in the songs we learn that if we really try, reach out to others, and go for our dreams, we can make this world a really great place. Sister Hazel does not disappoint with their newest cd, BAM! The long-time Hazlnuts will love the smorgasbord collection of "B sides and rarities" and those new to Sister Hazel will be sucked in immediately and will want to add all the other cds to their collection. All of the lyrics, vocals, and instrumental work come together to make a top-notch rock album filled with different colors and textures. Like with all their other cds, there is not a bad song, or even one that is just so-so. You can listen to BAM all the way through over and over again and the songs will still hit you like the first time.

Album Description

First installment of the track-suited inventors of nu-metal's greatest hits. It draws on their back catalogue, from the1994 self titled debut; right through to 2003's 'Take A Look In The Mirror'. 'Greatest Hits Vol.1' displays the originsof the downtuned early 90's metal sound that went on to influence countless acts. It also includes covers of material by Pink Floyd and Cameo.

Customer Reviews:

Finally gave in...and I do like it!.......2007-07-14

Korn is not a band I have any other music from, but I did like many of thier "hits" or songs on the radio back in the day (which is as it turns out, not so long ago). Something about the hip-hop hard rock sound, and that whatever you call it...clicking bass sound just got to me eventually, and I found myself cranking their songs.

I am into bands like Corrosion Of Conformity, Helmet, Biohazard, Prong; plus I love the rap/rock that surfaced in the late 80's and seemed to flourish in the early 90's, from the aforementioned Biohazard, and Rage Against The Machine; and Korn seemed to draw some from those types of bands and blend it all together and it worked for the most part. Probably the worst thing that happened was getting that stupid "nu metal" tag, I hate that just about as much as the "hair metal" tag. C'mon, ya know?...it's just hard rock music that has a certain sound or feel, why does it have to have a label on it all the time? Perhaps it's not Metal, but it deserves a better name than Nu Metal, that was just being lazy.

Anyway, most of the songs on here I like. I can't help but repeat the "Ya'll Want A Single" chorus over and over, and of course all the hits that follow are very convenient for a casual fan like myself of the band and just wants to enjoy thier fine music.

It's finally over for these guys! 0/5 stars.......2007-06-12

This mallcore mediocre imitation metal band finally released a greatist hit's album Oh yeah I knew these guys were not gonna stick around for long. They were the worst talentless band I ever heard and a massive disgrace to real metal bands like iron maiden helloween slayer white zombie pantera judas priest motorhead. All their songs are garbage and all their music playing and vocals were completely horrible and unrelying they all smack a rush job on every song. I'm no expert in metal but I know there is no way korn can be called metal and there are lot's of other bands (including nu metal) that are alot better than korn. Korn is just an obnoxious fad like limp bizkit which now and days is completely forgotten by exfans like me. And thanks to head who found jesus and left... korn is finally dead that is a miracle no bands in their right mind would do that and im the exfan who found my true taste in music and left korn also.

Just okay.......2007-06-02

Korn has had their occasional hit here and there. While this is probably the best Korn has to offer, it's just okay music (in my opinion, of course). The cover of "Word Up" is nothing short of genius, but I wasn't impressed with Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall". Floyd is one of those bands that are too sacred to turn into nu metal.

Loved it.......2007-05-29

Album Description

When it was first released as a four-LP package in 1972, this marathon live recording hit #3 on Billboard's Pop album chart and was certified RIAA gold. Following up their 1971 album Chicago III, this historic set features all the early hits and spotlights Chicago at the peak of their initial success. Painstakingly remastered, it now includes a full disc of previously unreleased material showcasing their trademark horns, Robert Lamm's keyboards and vocals, and the guitar virtuosity of the late Terry Kath. The set's packaging makes a nod to the original LP release, with an outer cardboard slipcase, four CDs in individual jackets, a 36-page booklet with original LP artwork, and mini-reproductions of the three huge posters that were part of the original release.

Walter Parazaider (sax, woodwinds), Lee Loughnane (trumpet), James Pankow (trombone), Robert Lamm (keyboards, vocals), Terry Kath (guitar, vocals), Danny Seraphine (drums), and Peter Cetera (bass, vocals) formed Chicago in the Second City in 1967. They released their debut album, Chicago Transit Authority, in 1969. The double LP sold more than two million copies on the strength of sweet pop hits and psychedelic rock explorations that appealed to traditional Top 40 fans as well as hipper listeners tuning in to the new free-form FM radio.

This was just the start of Chicago's enduring popularity, which includes five consecutive #1 albums, 21 Top 10 singles, and worldwide sales of over 120 million. Chicago continues to be a major concert draw, their lineup now including Bill Champlin (keyboards, vocals), Jason Scheff (bass, vocals), Keith Howland (guitar), and Tris Imboden (drums), along with founding members Lamm, Parazaider, Loughnane, and Pankow.

Customer Reviews:

One of the greatest live recordings of all time.......2007-07-04

Chicago in their early days cranking out jazz/rock inovative music at Carnegie Hall. Terry Kath is sorely missed from the group. His influence on Chicago was essential to their early sound. If you like electric guitar buy this collection.

At Carnegie Hall, Vol. 1-4 Chicago IV.......2007-01-19

This is a must have for any true Chicago fan.

an absolute must !.......2007-01-12

One of the greatest bands of the pop/rock world in full swing! All of Chicago's indispensable tunes are there and the recording, in the present Rhino transfer, is more than adequate; and, to top it all,the documentation and packaging should be seen as a model by the industry. This box-set would definitely be part of my remote planet discography !

Passionate, timelessly captures the moment.......2006-11-03

When I was 13 I had an album collection consisting of Zeppellin, Sabbath, Cooper, Cream, Beethovin, Bach and the brand-new Chicago at Carnegie Hall. I haven't heard this album in 20 years (since my last record player gave up the ghost and I switched to cd's and electronic formats) and my wife surprised me last night with this 4 cd set. WOW! This is how live music should be performed. For those out there who actually LIKE live music to sound just like the studio version this isn't for you. But if you want to hear what a late 60's era hard-working touring band sounded like night after night when mainstream audiences cared about musicianship and composition without the "repairing" of such recordings by later studio work...then this set is an excellent example. This has got to be on anyone's list of top ten live rock albums. I recommend a strong buy!

CHICAGO AND TERRY KATH IN A DIFFERENT ERA (APRIL 1971).......2006-09-25

Beautifully remastered, excellent packaging. This set contains a fourth disc which you hear some really awesome Terry Kath guitar solos. The fourth disc really solidifies the great guitar work of Terry Kath. The extra disc includes "an hour in the shower" which makes the price of this set worth buying, and is a must for any hardcore Chicago fan. The fourth disc was done under Lee Loughane's supervision and painstakingly mixed by veteran engineer Dave Donnelly.I am not a live album fan, but Carnegie Hall really has some tunes that closely match the studio recordings beautifully. The horns and flutes are really loud and sharp and really stand out while listening. I enjoyed this live recording.Carnegie Hall was done when James William Guercio was the producer of Chicago records, long before the days of David Foster who turned them into a 1980s hit machine. Foster during the 1980s helped Chicago score some huge hits, while Chicago became nothing more than Peter Ceteras back up band, setting up Ceteras own solo career. Foster also limited drummer Danny Seraphines drumming during the 80s recordings. Carnegie Hall, catches Chicago in an incredible stage of thier career. The remastering has been done with great care and expertise. Rhino has done another excellent job with the packaging, includes (booklet and posters). One thing that amazes me is while reading the booklet I found out Chicago has been putting on live shows since May 23rd, 1967 and still going strong today, amazing! Enjoy carnegie hall if you dont like live recordings you might make an exception for "Chicago at Carnegie Hall"
