Over a remarkable 30 years, Aerosmith has delivered near-perfect hybrids of rock and balladry, converting generations of listeners into devout fanatics. O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits drives chronologically through 30 of their best songs, providing a tour of the construction process. And what a process! Listen to "Mama Kin" and you might not recognize Aerosmith at all--here is a young Tyler, before finding his distinctive gritty wail, fronting a simple blues-bar band. But the phenomenal energy and synchronization that developed between Tyler and Perry starts here, and is followed up by successive wonders. "Dream On" captures plodding despair; "Last Child" bears witness to Tyler's mastery of harmony and shriek; "Back in the Saddle" explodes with swagger. Built from the low-end up, Aerosmith's heavy kick, driving bass lines, steady rhythm guitar, and blaring exclamation-point horns create a perfect foundation. And the dirty, harmonic souls of Steven Tyler and Joe Perry do what they do best--put on an over-the-top, flawless show. --Laura Etling

Dude still got it.......2007-05-14

Aerosmith , thank god that there are still bands that sing about dirty women , drink and , well , you know what I mean ! as a mature rock fan who grew up in glorius late 60s and 70s this is what it's about .
In a world of political correctness it's hard to write good old fashioned rock and roll lyrics well , you've missed the plot if that's your mindset rock music is about having a good time , aerosmith are the good time band ! This album is full of classics from there early days to the recent present and , are then a band !
So , forget about your corporate lifestyle , your investments , that new car and big house get back to were it was when you had long hair dirty jeans drank like a fish chased a few babes and , well you know what i mean ! God bless aerosmith !!
P.S. Apologies to anyone who finds this review offensive but as you know the truth hurts .

Same Old Song and Dance - Yet another Compilation but the one worth getting!.......2007-03-23

Aerosmith have released over the years nine "Greatest Hits" Compilations!!! Outside their first and best back in 1980, this one, dubbed Ultimate Hits, is perhaps the best purchase a casual fan who was not around in their 70's hey day should pick up. It covers their entire output save the 77-86 period thus representing better value and wider appeal. Die hard fans should already have the original albums.

Disc One boasts one of the best collection of hard rock/blues recorded in the 70's. Each song is a classic representing the band on top of their game. Hungry, raw, rocking, sleazy and fun. There are a few tracks that should be included from this period but you can't fit them all in can you?
"Walk This Way" "Sweet Emotion" and "Dream On" all the big ones are here. "Season's Of Wither" is one underrated song, a highlight really.

The bands commercial comeback and commercial peak weaves into disc one and dominates disc 2 with well known material from their albums "Permanant Vacation" through to "Just Push Play", the latter providing the minor hit "Jaded" and a cool remix of the title track of that album. A couple of bonus tracks don't add much but "Come Together" and "Toys In The Attic" are good additions.

#1 smash hit, "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" the most well known of their latter, albeit uninspiring period. These days Aerosmith still have it in concert, but besides a decent middle of the road rock album half a decade ago, are in a flat spot as a recording entity and the release of another Hits compilation really highlights their lost muse for creating music.

Let's hope Aerosmith are back with one more classic album if they can steer clear of the gimmicks and focus on delivering like they once did.

Truly The Ultimate.......2007-03-12

Aerosmith is a band that has done more then stand the test of time,they have showed bands half their age how to really rock!
This collection 'O Yeah' shows them from the 70s beginnings all the way through the 90s and beyond!

I would recommend this collection to any Aerosmith fan and really any fan of music in general,but I would also recommend getting the other 'greatest hits' package 'Young Lust' because it features a lot of songs from their Geffen years that aren't included on this release...O Yeah focuses on the Columbia years (it has some Geffen years songs but not enough) and the combination of this along with 'Young Lust' would give anyone a perfect overview of this group of music legends
I would still tell people who can afford it to go out and buy the entire catalog because it's really worth it but having 2 CDs with all the great hits is very convenient to have in your car

there are some new re-mixes of songs from their more recent albums which makes this worth having for those (like me) that already have the whole catalog,but really the two new songs alone are worth buying this,Girls Of Summer and Lay It Down are both great songs..but Girls Of Summer is actually one of the best Aerosmith songs ever recorded
I don't know how they do it but this band gets better all the time! (with the one exception of 'honking on bobo' but I hope they learned from that disaster)...if anyone would walk up to you and ask who Aerosmith is,this and Young Lust are the CDS you should play for them!

The Upside - an almost perfect overview of a brilliant career!This covers the early years,the Geffen years,and the columbia years

The Downside - Missing some important Geffen years songs,they completely ignore 'Done With Mirrors' on this release,and 'Night In The Ruts' and 'Rock In A Hard Place'

The Bottom Line - If someone asks you who Aerosmith is,play this and Young Lust..these are great packages and well worth the price...donutman says so!!!

yay.......2007-02-28

I remember Aerosmith from when I was younger my parents were 70's and 80's rockers and that is what I remember growing up. I love this CD pack (two CDs) it has their greatest hits and it is good. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to see what Aerosmith is like. For those of you who already love them I'd go with buying their other CDs.

Aerosmith Ultimate Hits CD.......2007-01-20

This CD is an excellent compilation of Aerosmith's hits- it's even a better deal than the other Aerosmith complitaions because you get a few more songs! Bought for my bro for the holidays and i think i might listen to it more than him!

This double CD collects not only Brother Ray's best-known '50s and '60s singles, but some choice semi-obscurities (the 1953 jump blues "Mess Around," his 1959 cover of Louis Jordan's "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Cryin'") that earn their places next to "What'd I Say" and "I Can't Stop Loving You." The man's originality and infectious feeling bleed through on each of these 36 tracks, whether he's transforming "One Mint Julep" or "America the Beautiful" or collaborating (separately) with Willie Nelson and Chaka Khan. --Rickey Wright

The best compilation on the market........2007-01-27

Other than Genius & Soul: The 50th Anniversary Collection 5-disc boxed set, "Ultimate Hits Collection" is easily the best Ray Charles compilation on the market. Its 36 tracks cover the years 1953-1989. It may be pricey, but you get a 50-page booklet, two individual jewel cases and an attractive slipcase. This set covers the ABC years as well, so Rhino probably had to shell out some big bucks to license those tracks. I'm glad they included "Mess Around", one of Ray's earliest hits, but I would've like to have seen 1993's "A Song For You" here as well.

Sherry.......2007-01-18

"Great CD. Would highly recommend. It's a great collection of all the hits. Other CD have a variation of songs, but if you want one with all hits, this is the one for you.

Soul .......2007-01-10

This collection contains Ray Charles' greatest hits. Among the favorites are 'What'd I Say' , 'Georgia on my mind' 'Ruby' 'Hallelujah I just love her so'. For me what is important is those songs which I have heard over and over again, and which the re-hearing of brings pleasure in. It is not important to me that all the songs have that quality. In fact even with the best people, like Ray Charles it is only a small portion of the total work which plays again and again in the mind.
Ray Charles had incredible soul and feeling. And it is that feeling which makes his music so moving and enjoyable.

Money Well Spent.......2006-09-16

I chose this collection for its wide range of Ray's career hits. Some of which I had never heard before, like "Mess Around." This was before the film was released of course. All time favorites of mine include, "What'd I Say" "One Mint Julep" "Night Time Is The Right Time" and "Hit The Road Jack." A true American Icon, Ray's genius continues through his recordings, for they are timeless. Not much else missing on this one.

Ray Charles Ultimate Collection.......2006-08-15

Very good album......can't say enough about it. Ray had such style in his music....I can listen to it over and over.

Kenny Rogers pitches a winner.......2007-04-14

If you're completing your music collection and haven't a Kenny Rogers CD, get this one. All hits ranging from beginning to now.

Great memories and more..........2007-02-18

If you are a Kenny Rogers fan, this one won't disappoint. All his most popular hits and some great duets, everything you're looking for. The only downside (if there is one) is there were a few songs squeezed in that would probably not be considered among his greatest hits, but are still good music to listen to.

BUYER BEWARE.......2007-01-21

I had the old 20 greatest hits (1994) cd but it seemed to me that the volume was recorded very low during mastering so i figured that this newly mastered one would be ideal. NOT. The first five tracks are the 'KENNY ROGERS AND THE FIRST EDITION" versions. If i wanted him and that horrible band he seems to can't let go of, I would have bought that one instead. So you do not get the better ruby don't take your love to town version. You get the old "kingston trio" one instead. If you liked the original songs in their original form you'll be dissapointed as some of the old great songs you loved are altered and changed up a bit. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME AGAIN WHY THEY FEEL THE NEED TO HAVE TO CHANGE OR ALTER GREATEST HITS PACKAGES. If i had known they were altered and quite horribly i would not have bought this. I would have stuck with the older compilation as it is the better one.

Kenny Rodgers .......2007-01-15

Since seeing Kenny in Concert in Nottingham England in 2006 - I have been searching for an album that contained 1 song, that he sang at the concert. I had never heard the song before but apparently it was an old one, so I searched the shops and the net and found it on this album. The song is The Rose, which is on repeat on the stereo...

The whole album is fantastic and has been constantly played.

Marie Lincoln England.

Like most "best of" collections, this one contains both hits and misses. But we listened to it twice as soon as we got it, sang along both times, and enjoyed it immensely. Well worth buying!

Not as good as expected.......2007-07-01

About 25% of the cuts on this CD are very obscure, not even hitting the top 50 on the charts, a couple above the top 100. The groups listed on the front of the case and the labels on the back show the best of the CD. They don't show the unknowns or little knowns. I question whether some should even be listed as bubble gum music, but that doesn't diminish their quality. There are 25 songs, but I liked only 18 at best. Look closely at the list of songs before buying.

Nostalgic bee bop bubblegum rock.......2007-03-08

What is it about these 2 minute songs that makes you want to find them, buy them and play them again and again. Could it be that the light headed lyrics can actually be heard, or is it that the catch tunes simply rekindle the past when life as a youth was full of so much promise and - i had a head full of hair - its the latter i think, and this albums collection of songs rekindles that old spirit as though it was all happening again. A particularly "lekker" compilation - but whatever happened to Tracy .............. ba ba papapa ba papapa ba

It is the Ultimate Bubblegum Collection!.......2007-01-27

This was another cd I had a hard time not playing over and over. It had some cool songs on it that I had been looking for on cd and just never did. It's a great compilation with a lot of songs!

Another Album you will want for your collection........2007-01-08

Compiling a great collection requires having all of the songs that made the past in music history. This album has songs that you just don't find on the normal "Best Of" or "Greatest Hits By".

Totally upbeat tunes get you singing along in no time. Great music to clean the house to.

Another repackaging but..........2006-01-03

Ultimate Alabama is yet another greatest hits album from Alabama. However, it's a very good starting point for a casual Alabama fan.

This collection has had a great remastering job as well. I purchased this for my wife, and I could tell a big difference in sound quality versus older Alabama cd's.

You can almost smell the cornbread cooking!.......2005-10-30

While I agree with other reviewers that this collection is a bit concise, I still think it is a phenomenal collection. Nearly all of my favorite Alabama songs are represented, and at least I don't have to switch CDs while I'm driving to hear the other half of the collection.

These songs hold so many fond memories - Alabama is one of those great bands that has it all - beautiful harmonies, catchy riffs, and lyrics that make you proud to be (or wish that you were) Southern! I put this CD on when I miss the south - my home - and instantly, songs like "Down Home", "Born Country", "Mountain Music", and "Tennessee River" take me home. If you know Alabama, you know that no one can express the little nuances of the south quite the way they can. And when they start up with the fiddle - watch out!

This CD has been in constant rotation as a driving CD, and I bought a copy for my dad last Christmas. It may not be the definitive Alabama collection, but it's pretty dang good.

Cassie

Solid Alabama Primer.......2005-03-27

For casual country fans, "Ultimate Alabama" is a great starter. It features twenty number ones, though they had plenty more. I'll agree with another reviewer that the definitive hits package by Alabama is their double disc set, but for those of us who may not be able to or do not want to plunk down a nice hunk of change for the double set, this one will suffice. Also, if you aren't a huge fan of Alabama, but want something representative of their work in your collection, I highly recommend this disc.

It's Alabama, so just about anything they put on a disc will sound great. Personal highlights of this album include "If You're Gonna Play In Texas," "Jukebox In My Mind," and "Roll On." Everything else contained here is great.

Once again, this is an excellent introduction for the casual country fan, but hardcore Alabama fans probably already have everything on this disc.

Highly recommended.

Not again........2007-03-03

Well, the labels did it again. First, when they released the album "Dream" on cd. Their biggest hit from that album "You never done it like that" turned out to be a re-recorded version on the cd release.
They did it again with this "Ultimate Collection." That being said, I love some of their other hits, especially "The way that I want to touch you." Luckily, the rest of the tracks are the originals. If you're looking for the original version of "You never done it like that", you would have to get the 20th Century Masters collection of theirs.

Complete Hits Captain & Tennille.......2006-08-21

I really like the cd. There are songs I don't remember them singing but all in all it is very good.

There's No Pleasure Like A Guilty Pleasure.......2005-05-15

Isn't there anything simply screams guilty pleasure like the Captain & Tennille? I mean, their cheesy yet infectious hits meant back in the 1970s' you were on a one way ticket to lameville. Well, 30 years later, the world is more accepting to the Captain & Tennille, so now me and many others feel comfortable saying how much we enjoy their music.

"Ultimate Collection: The Complete Hits" is the most complete representation of the duo's hits you could possibly find. Indeed, most of us will be happy to hear songs like "Love Will Keep Us Together", "Muskrat Love" and "Do That To Me One More Time". And diehards who went and bought the actual albums rather than just singles will be happy to learn that forgotten radio staples like "Circles", "Song Of Joy" and "Wedding Song (There Is Love)". Contrary to one reviewer's critique on the album, the sound is excellent. Everything sounds splendid.

This is a must have album, but only if you're a fan. This duo certainly isn't for everyone, but people who like this type of music will pick this up immediately

Definitive collection.......2005-04-27

This couple never made much impact in the UK but had several huge hits in America, where Love will keep us together topped the charts. This particular compilation contains all the tracks from their original greatest hits album from 1977 but also includes all their later hits including Do that to me one more time (their second American number one, which became their only UK top ten hit) and You never done it like that, an American top ten hit that briefly made the lower placings in the UK charts.

Among the earlier American hits here are Muskrat love (also recorded by the group America), Shop around (a cover of a Miracles song from the early sixties), Love will keep us together (their first American number one, written by Neil Sedaka) and Lonely night angel face (also written by Neil Sedaka). Circles, Can't stop dancing, Come in from the rain, We never really say goodbye and Disney girls are also wonderful, as are the covers of Wedding song (Petula Clark) and I write the songs (Barry Manilow).

If you enjoy the music of the Carpenters you will probably also enjoy Captain and Tennille's music. This is the best compilation of their music. Now, if only some record label will re-issue the original albums on CD - but that may be wishful thinking.

Scratching The Surface.......2005-01-26

This collection of Capt & Tennille tracks shows for me how diverse the group's recordings were. Generally speaking, their recordings fell into one of several categories. They sold heavily with the Beach Boys-Neil Sadaka-Alan O'Day singles. These were accompanied by poppish tracks like "Can't Stop Dancing" and "I'm On My Way." The duo interspersed love songs ("Come In From The Rain") and odes to the carnal joys of marriage ("Gentle Stranger" and "Do That To Me") with school-chorus favorites ("I Write The Songs," "Circles") and novelties ("Broddy Bounce" and "Muskrat Love"). In their last three albums released in the US, they included slightly darker Adult Contemporary fare like "Love On A Shoestring" and "This Is Not The First Time." Despite the wide array of recording styles, I am of the belief-- probably heresy to fans-- that Toni Tennille never realized her potential.

In interviews during the 70s, Daryl Dragon made the observation that Tennille's musical tastes were extremely conservative. This inclination hobbled her gifts. She had difficulty recognizing what her voice was best suited for. The upbeat pop tunes the group favored were too insubstantial to support the incredible power of her voice. She either had to reign in her delivery or her projection blew out the bounds of these compositions. Dragon's playful approach-- Erasure-on-Venice-Beach-- didn't always support the earthy smolder of his wife's drawling diction, even if this approach did match the pop sensibility of the singles. In her solo ventures, Tennille's preference for Swing standards had her admirably fronting orchestral sections for live takes, but the wall of sound in the big-band arrangements competes with rather than supports her voice.

Tennille's voice was its own wall of sound. Her singing fared best with simple arrangements. Backed by a piano, or Hammond organ with bass and drums, or seasoned with brass flourishes: these organic sounds gave her the room to breathe that she needed. The material for her pipes was not upbeat ditties but bluesy, torchy songs like "Your Good Thing," "Never Make A Move Too Soon," "Since I Fell For You," "Love Me Like A Baby." Her timbre called out for a lyric of heartache, anger, betrayal, unrequited desire. She was, I think, a soul singer who didn't realize it. Her delivery was best informed not by Sarah Vaughn or Bobby Short but Ann Peebles or Dorothy Morrison. Capt & Tennille might have done better to looks less at California and Hawaii than at Memphis and Atlanta for the most fruitful sources of material. Dragon, a gifted keyboardist, didn't need sound gimmicks to provide the Charles Earland style soul backing that would have put Tennille's voice in its best setting.

Listening to their non-single album tracks, I can't help but wonder what heights they could reach if they tried their hand at covering not pop songs but soul songs. Their proven ability to pull off Isaac Hayes and even out-and-out dance in the smoldering "How Can You Be So Cold" suggest a southern soul outing would be an artistically successful change of pace.

Buck Owens's role as co-host of Hee Haw hokum was imprinted so strongly on the public's consciousness that it tends to overshadow his musical legacy. As this set of chart-toppers attests, no country artist dominated the early-to-mid 1960s like the Bard of Bakersfield. His twisted, elongated syllables and twangy interplay with guitarist Don Rich put a signature stamp on material ranging from the uptempo "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail"--a pop crossover smash as well--to the heartfelt balladry of "Together Again" and "Only You (Can Break My Heart)." A late '80s revival of "Streets of Bakersfield" in duet with Dwight Yoakam, Owens's leading disciple, put Buck back atop the charts. Liner testimonials from Chris Isaak and ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons attest to the reach of his influence, while his breakthrough hit, "Act Naturally," inspired a popular cover (on the Help! album) by the Beatles. --Don McLeese

Buck Owens again.......2007-06-09

I love this CD. When I was a child I used to listen to Buck Owens all the time. As I grew I just started listening to newer singers. I went on the Web and found the album and decided to order it. I love it. I like listening to the older singers again. Listening to the older singers bring back my childhood and my life when I used to live in Idaho.

Great collection!.......2007-05-11

This is a great collection of BJ Thomas's hits, 24 of them. The only knock on this cd is that some of the songs have audible tape hiss which has been a problem with some of his other hits collections. Still, its well worthwhile to listen to and is the best collection I've heard of of his recordings, especially the earlier ones.

I was able to purchase a new copy at a lower price than Amazon's listed price from the other sellers links. I just can't help believing this is the best compilation of BJ Thomas's hits.

Fantastic.......2005-09-12

If you are a BJ Thomas fan, you need to get this one, and smile and be nostalgic!!!

Wonderful.......2005-01-07

I am very pleased with this CD. There is more than 75 minutes of music and it includes all of B.J. Thomas's hits. I rate 6 of the songs as very good or excellent. My favorites are "No Love At All", "Rock & Roll Lullaby" and "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry".

I agree with the other reviewers that this is the one to buy for a B.J. Thomas collection.

Look no further.....this is definitely the one you want.......2003-09-03

Spanning a period of more than 20 years and containing hits from 4 different labels, this Australian import is clearly the finest B.J. Thomas collection ever assembled. The first cut is the 1966 classic "Billy and Sue" which was released on Nashville's Hickory label. What follows are 18 cuts containing just about every one of B.J.'s hits on the Scepter label. Everyone is familiar with his biggest hits "Hooked on A Feeling" and of course his signature song "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head", but frankly I am partial to some of his lesser known hits including "The Eyes of A New York Woman", "Mighty Clouds of Joy" and "Mama". But whatever your preference you will surely find them all here. Also included are a couple of his hits for MCA including "Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song" as well as well as hit remake of the Beach Boys classic "Don't Worry Baby".
The final two cuts are from his days at Columbia. At this point in the mid-eighties, his records were only being played on country and adult contemporary stations. In my opinion, "Whatever Happened to Old Fashioned Love?" is one of his best discs ever. So spend an extra few bucks and pick up one of the best values you'll ever find.

Excellent collection.......2003-02-20

This is the most comprehensive collection of BJ Thomas hits out there, and sounds great too. If you like BJ Thomas, this is definitely the "Greatest Hits" CD to get.

Best CD out there Kids will love it my son always Plays it........2002-01-28

My son loves This Cd And so do I think the music is so excellent.

Not Original Artists.......2000-05-30

This CD does not have the original artists performing the songs, which is all that really needs to be said about this CD. I normally would have listened to cuts from the CD, but I don't have a sound card at work and made the mistake of ordering it without listening to it. Still, you shouldn't have to read between the lines in the description to find out if a CD with popular songs are being sung the way you like to hear it.

Moe and Joe.......2007-05-09

I used to listen to albums of Moe and Joe when I was a teenager. Their songs had a lot of humor and "good old boy" type of lyrics. If you are a fan of Moe and Joe, I'd recommend the CD. They are still enjoyable and fun to listen to.

Excellent Purchase.......2007-03-16

This cd brought a lot of memories back for my boyfriend. He keeps playing it over and over. The service with Amazon was wonderful.

Ultimate Moe & Joe.......2007-01-15

This is a great CD! Talk about an 8 track flashback! It has most all of their popular duos.

Finally the best of the Moe and Joe duets on one cd ! Great stuff! Much better than the Sony one which is mostly solo recordings by Bandy and Stampley
