The Who's mighty catalog of beautiful, poignant, and often silly pop songs bashed out with Cassius Clay finesse has suffered in the past at the hands of multiple, butcher-shop best-ofs and horrible packaging. But this thrilling band--undeniably one of ye classicke rocke's greatest--gets the career-spanning entry-point compilation it deserves with the double-disc Ultimate Collection. The songs included here are no-brainers, for the most part--if they aren't huge hits like "My Generation," "I Can See for Miles," or "Baba O'Riley," they're long-standing fan favorites such as "Boris the Spider," "Pure and Easy," and "Squeeze Box." And while this reviewer wishes different songs were chosen from Tommy, and more than one tune was gathered from their arguably finest (and definitely silliest) album, The Who Sell Out, this record really isn't for fans (aside from the total trainspotter types) but for newcomers. --Mike McGonigal

4 out of 5 stars Probably is ultimate.......2007-07-01

Definitely a great job on the collection and the booklet is worth a lot of the price as well.

5 out of 5 stars If You Only Want To Own One Who Set..........2007-06-29

"The Ultimate Collection" should be it.Perfect selection of classic songs(just check the track list),excellent sound quality,cool booklet featuring memorablia, informative liner notes and recording dates to every song included make this ready made for the casual fan who just the cream of the crop of this legendary band.

4 out of 5 stars Very good introduction to one of the best Rock bands in the world - ever!.......2007-06-05

I must admit that one of my greatest mistakes as a Rock music fan, was missing to follow the career of The Who until TOMMY was issued as a movie (1975). Since then, I found that The Who is such a great British Rock band and a landmark in the story of Rock music, in the same level of the Beatles, the Stones, Led Zeppelin or other magnificent British Rock packs (Yes, ELP, the Kinks, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, etc.).
I'm sure there are other Who compilations still available, who will satisfy classic Rock purists more than this "Ultimate". However, if you're just trying to increase your knowledge of how good British Rock became in the 1960s and 1970s, this The Who collection at no doubt will lead you to get later their entire album collection. Enjoy it!

5 out of 5 stars This Is Real Music........2007-05-19

The Who are one of the top 5 greatest rock groups ever. Thats just not debatable. Listen to this collection and you will see why they are now legends of music. There have been many greatest hits albums for The Who because they have made so many classics. But this one beats all the other ones by far. It's got everyone of there gigantic hits and every cult-fan favorite. Boris The Spider and Eminence Front were not big hits, but they are still very popular among Who fans(me being one of them). And then you have all the basics: Baba O'Riley,Long Live Rock,Who Are You,My Generation,Pinball Wizard and many more. Overall, this is 35 songs of rock greatness. There will never be another group like The Who. They changed the face of music. Just listen to this CD and you will feel better. You will just feel happier. Long Live The Who!

4 out of 5 stars The Who for Beginners.......2007-05-07

This CD is The Who- 101 for any new Who fan that you would like to acclimate with the band...like your kids, for example. Great listening for old fans, as well.

Before Backstreet Boys, there was Take That, a brilliant group who paved the way. Remember, without Take That, there would be no Justin Timberlake, and a world without Justin Timberlake is a very sad thing.

Jimmy Buffett may have made his millions, but that doesn't mean that he has eased up on his workload. After releasing 33 albums, mounting grueling annual tours, and fashioning an entire industry and lifestyle out of his signature song "Margaritaville," Buffett trots out this two-CD collection. Yet, Meet Me in Magaritaville, which spans 30 years, isn't merely a retread of his long, storied career. Buffett has written two new songs for the package and re-recorded six alternative versions of fan favorites (including a moving version of "The Captain and the Kid," which he included for his ailing father, who died shortly after the album's release). He's also added two new cover songs--a spicy bossa nova version of Fred Neil's "Everybody's Talking" and the Beach Boys' "Sail on Sailor"--as well four live tracks, which shows the singer at his best, conjuring up his own Yuppie Atlantis, an idyllic place where no one has to wear shoes, the sun is always shining, the bar never closes, and Junior Mints are always available at every cinema. A must-have collection for every Parrothead (or aspiring Parrothead), if only for Buffett's track-by-track descriptions. --Jaan Uhelszki

5 out of 5 stars typical island music.......2007-06-27

After visiting south Florida and the Keys on several occasions. I heard some of his music whilst there. Bought the cd hoping that it would take me back there whilst being in rainy cold england. It does! Job done. It takes you to sandy beaches, blue skys and laid back bars. Some tracks are a bit cheesy but typical of the sort of music you hear down there.Turn your heating up, grab a beer, close your eyes, put this album on and your almost there.Almost!!

3 out of 5 stars mararitaville.......2007-05-10

Hey its Jimmy Buffett I live in Key West What else can I say

5 out of 5 stars Great music!.......2007-03-25

Bought this cd for my brother-in-law for Christmas, and he says it is wonderful. All the songs from over the years, he just loves it.

5 out of 5 stars It's Jimmy Buffett, what else could you ask for?.......2007-03-19

This album is a collection of some of the best stuff Jimmy Buffett has recorded. It's a blend of old and new. Many of the songs are like old friends that you always like to spend time with and although some of the songs are newer, they fit right in with your circle of friends.
I highly recommend this album to anyone who enjoys slipping away to Margaritaville for a little while. It's music that crosses the generation gap. I'm in my 40's, my parents are in their mid - 60's and my daughter is a teenager, and we all enjoy Jimmy Buffett. If you purchase this album, you won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars the best JB collection EVER!.......2007-03-07

I love this collection of 38 JB songs! It has all of my fave songs on it, but I love it especialy because my 2 of my fave songs, In The Shelter (disc 2) and the ever popular Come Monday (disc 1) are together in one collection! I listen to it all the time!

5 out of 5 stars Great Band.......2007-04-14

Here is a band that had alot of hits.This is a good collection of their songs.My favorite tunes from this band are You Really Got Me and All Day and All of the Night.Another huge hit from this band was Lola.
The Davies brothers, along with drummer Mick Avory and bassist Peter Quaife, produced a number of hits.
Here is a great collection of songs from this band.

5 out of 5 stars Quintessential Kinks.......2007-01-30

Great collection that covers a wide spectrum of Kinks material. Sound quality is great. A must for those looking to add The Kinks to their collection.

5 out of 5 stars They Really Got Me!.......2007-01-23

Okay, I remember the British Invasion. This is one of those cd's you can either listen to in context of the times or as a great primer for the rest of their stuff. I've found myself listening to it repeatedly and I can still pretty much tell you where I was when the Ray and Dave were kicking out the hits. Like one of the reviewers said, there may be a track or two that I personally would have included but blast it all, this is a primo collection and as long as I can listen to "Waterloo Sunset", I am in paradise! Don't hesitate to pick this collection up! It doesn't get much better than this!

5 out of 5 stars KInks The ultimate collection.......2007-01-12

there can really never be an ultimate collection for the kinks.
Because it would have to include everything they ever did.
But, in the mean time Enjoy this collection they put togethere.

5 out of 5 stars Possibly the best collection of any band.......2006-12-16

While hard core fans might find a favorite track or two missing, I, as a casual fan, can't think of a single worthy song that does not appear on this double disc set. There are even a couple great songs that I had never heard before. The Ultimate Collection covers the entire career of the band, with a couple solo numbers by Dave Davies thrown in for good measure.

Whoever put this set together deserves congratulations.

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

5 out of 5 stars 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 .

4 out of 5 stars 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.


5 out of 5 stars 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!!!

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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!

A brave effort at cramming one disc full of Temptations classics, The Ultimate Collection nevertheless makes a couple of puzzling choices. Why, for instance, include "Error of Our Ways," a very minor mid-'90s hit, and ignore "Beauty Is Only Skin Deep" or "I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)," both number ones from their classic period? Still, for the price, it's hard to argue with. --Rickey Wright

4 out of 5 stars Sound is not as good as I had hoped for, but it has everything I wanted on it.......2007-07-05

I dislike any title "Ultimate" because ultimate really is in the ear of the listener, but this CD had everything I wanted from the Temptations on it. It only lost one star because it's touchy working in my MacIntosh and the sound quality in general is not as good as I hoped for.

2 out of 5 stars Poor .......2007-06-01

I'm only a passing fan of The Temps, but wanted at least a "Greatest Hits" CD in my collection so they would have some representation.

While (most) of the songs I know and like are on the disc, the sound quality is abysmal... unless you want to hear it like it was on that mono transister radio you had back in 1971. As far as I can tell, there was no remastering done whatsoever. A disappointment.

1 out of 5 stars hearing is believing.......2007-05-12

customers lose faith in vendors when they deliver defective merchandise. The CD would not perform in any player used. Vendors must earn a customer's trust by supplying reliable quality in the first place or standing up with ready replacements when they don't. This vendor did neither.

5 out of 5 stars Oldies But Goodies.......2007-01-09

This CD is awesome! It contains most of their hit songs from back in the day! I recommend this CD to anyone who likes The Temptations.

5 out of 5 stars The best of the best.......2006-11-10

The Temptations were Motown and this CD has their biggest hits and some that I had never heard before. Now I can say that I love everything the Temps did. The talent and voices are like majic. Otis Williams sure knew what he was doing when he put this group together.

3 out of 5 stars A few good songs for your guilty pleasure.......2007-06-03

The album has some really good songs. I'm not a big fan of Air Supply, but Making Love Out of Nothing At All, Power of Love, and All Out of Love are a few of my favorite guilty pleasures, and this album has these songs. Most of the other songs aren't so great.

4 out of 5 stars Good stuff here.......2007-04-25

One always wants the original albums, for greatest hits compilations always leave something out. But you also can't go back and unless you have unlimited amounts of money, a compilation is not necessarily a bad thing. And now, 20 years on, how much Air Supply should you have, or admit to...

5 out of 5 stars This is all the Air Supply you need.......2007-04-12

Alot of great love songs on this cd. Wonderful music, great melodies, brings back lots of good memories. This compilation has all of their hits on it.

5 out of 5 stars Thank you!!!.......2007-02-17

The item arrived quickly and has not left my cd player since. I love it!!!

5 out of 5 stars Perfect Air Supply.......2007-01-24

I love this cd. I was looking to purchase a new air supply cd and decided to order this one. It has so many good songs on it including Power of Love. I had never heard this song performed by Air Supply. It is one of my favorite songs by them. I love this cd so much I ordered a second copy to keep at home since the first copy is in my car. A must have for any air supply fan!

A very good mix of songs and artists. Good to listen while travelling.

5 out of 5 stars Tarot Card Collector.......2006-07-10

I loved adding these to my collection. The 50s theme is delightful. I sent a deck of these to my sister as part of a 50s birthday package. She said, "Sorry I haven't worked much with tarot for some time but I'll give them a try." She found the cards,instruction book, and recipes to be delightful. I feel these are a prize for collectors and a great gift.

5 out of 5 stars Another great CD.......2006-06-30

It was a 50th anniv. gift. The couple enjoyed the music and then danced to the music.

5 out of 5 stars The best single CD of 50s Rock. Well worth the price........2003-05-12

The best single CD of 50s Rock, and 25 songs too! Well worth the price.

All songs are original hits by original artists.

Of 55 CDs of 1950s songs that I own, this is easily the best.

1/4/06 Update: Whoever put this collection together did more than simply pick songs based on sales charts, because two of my personal favorites that didn't chart very high ("Love Potion No. 9" and "Shout") are included.

There's a cynical adage that argues if you stand still long enough, history will eventually catch up with you. It's tempting to say that about Barry Manilow, an artist whose stubborn, quarter-century dedication to old-fashioned song craft and musical melodrama has earned him few critical praises but a loyal worldwide following in the millions. When a cult of 20-something would-be lounge lizards tried to cash in on Manilow's shtick in the 1990s, they distanced themselves from its emotional potency with telling dollops of irony and retro-hip cynicism--anything to keep from looking too sincere. This album serves up the high points of Manilow's long, successful career, rightly focusing on the long string of '70s hits that built both his legend and record label. They're a body of songs whose solid craftsmanship is undeniable, but it's Manilow's sincerity that crucially sells them--indeed, he didn't write "I Write the Songs," but who could doubt him? It's an odd tribute that much here--"Mandy," "Looks Like We Made It," "Copacabana," et. al.--has become the palette for a popular entertainment spectrum that somehow encompasses endless hotel piano bars on one flank and TV sketch-com parody on the other. Good to remember that kitsch, by definition, requires a deep and lasting impact on the culture. Manilow hasn't just embraced the "K" word; he's reveled in it with a smile--how could one frown through "Bandstand Boogie" and "Copa" anyway?--and elevated it to something approaching the transcendental through his sheer, joyous force of will. And if his latter work has been unabashedly nostalgic, how could anyone be surprised? --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars Ultimate Manilow.......2007-07-10

Wonderful!!! The DVD of Ultimate Manilow performed at the Kodak Theatre is very good. I would highly recommend getting the DVD.

5 out of 5 stars Typical Manilow.......2007-03-04

If you loved his stuff when you first heard it, you will love this one as well.

5 out of 5 stars A great Piece.......2007-02-22

This collection costs less than most other Manilow sets but still manages to include all of the essentials. The sound quality is fantastic- Until picking this up, I was forced to rely upon tapes from the early 1980's to get my fix. The mastery here is spot on and only further compliments the ageless style of Barry's music.

5 out of 5 stars Put Simply - I love it!.......2007-01-28

I grew up listening to Manilow, one of my first LPs being his double live album. I cannot listen to his music and be in a bad mood. I guess you either love him or hate him; I love him. He was such a big part of my preteen and teen years and helps me recapture a little bit of innocence. Just enjoy him for what he is- a great entertainer.

5 out of 5 stars Singing voice that mind gets warm.......2007-01-24

It is a famous piece of music collection which keeps being eternally heard.

Album Description

One of the most immediately recognizable voices in all of contemporary music, Michael McDonald's signature sound fuses rock, R&B, soul, and gospel. As he evolved onward from his formative days as a backup singer for Steely Dan, McDonald's artistry bridged the gap between jazzy blue-eyed soul and and chart-topping pop rock, earning him superstardom both as lead vocalist/keyboardist for the Doobie Brothers and as a solo artist. Spanning 1976 to the present, this hit-packed new compilation spotlights his inimitable baritone on 19 timeless songs that will have you believing from the very first minute.

5 out of 5 stars If you're a Michael McDonald fan............2007-06-26


There are a few "BEST OF MICHAEL MCDONALD" CDs out there, but if I were to choose just one of his "Greatest hits Albums", then this CD would be the one. This CD is recorded beautifully and Michael's voice comes through smoothly. The songs are his best known hits,--- all mixed wonderfully.

5 out of 5 stars a must-have collection.......2007-05-14

I've been a fan of Michael McDonald and the Doobie Brothers for years, but have resisted buying CDs because I really only *love* 2 or 3 songs off each album. I'd just about resigned myself to buying the MP3s and burning my own disk when I stumbled across this album. This collection is really the best of the best, including McDonald's earliest songs with the Doobies (all the ones you wanted!) all the way up to his latest solo releases. I even discovered a few new favorites from his solo years. Album notes are great, with stories from McDonald about how he came to write each song, and what collaborations with Patti LaBelle, James Ingram, and Carly Simon were like. If you're only going to own one album, this is the one.

5 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Collection.......2006-11-06

Michael McDonald is, and always has been great to listen to. Driving in your car, out for the evening, or with someone you love, he's my choice.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent sampler of both the Doobie Bros and Solo careers!.......2006-09-20

This 2005 "Ultimate Collection" is true to it's word in the fact that it compiles two worlds onto one great CD: One is Michael McDonald's solo material and other other his former band that he was lead singer of The Doobie brothers in the 1970s. This isn't a replacement of McDonald's solo 'best of' CD "The Very Best of" from a few years before. Many of the most well-known songs from McDonald and crew appear on here including a track from his most recent release "Motown Two" and a bizarre remix of "Open The Door" from his "Blue Obsession" CD. At 77 minutes, this is a very good investment in introducing someone to his music.

5 out of 5 stars Love It.......2006-09-01

I bought this because the everyone kept saying that Taylor Hicks was a new Michael McDonald and then they talk about his DVD on "40-year old virgin". It's funny how different forms of media link together. In this case, it was a good thing because I love this CD and the cover. Michael McDonald sure is a silver fox!
