Over the past 2 decades, Bob Seger has put out some of the best mainstream rock and roll and this release gives a good sample of that. Most greatest hits collections tend to either overlook key songs when dealing with successful artists, or give you a bunch of filler when the record company has the audacity to put out a 1 or 2 hit wonder "greatest hits" release.

Obviously when dealing with Bob Seger, there are just too many great songs, but these release overlooked too many especially when there were over 20 minutes left blank that could have filled with "Rock and Roll Never Forgets," "Katmandu," "Shame on the Moon," or any of his amazing early records; notwithstanding what is here is good and there is absolutely no filler. This 1994 release includes a new song that is really good as well as a very cool version of Chuck Berry's "C'est La Vie"

Capitol Records is attempting to correct this wrong by releasing a second greatest hits volume on 11/4/2003. The good news that that this release will include overlooked songs as well as newer material, including two new songs.

But back to thsi release... The songs will take you back to a time when music and life was so different. Listening great songs like "Against The Wind", "Night Moves", and "Mainstreet" (which I am lstening to right now) is a pleasure that I had not enjoyed in a long time as I am now revisiting all my CDs as I had gone overboard trying to buy new stuff and most of it fails to impress as those of yesteryear.

I do wish that Capitol Records had released a remastered version of this release as it did with many others in the Bob Seger catologue as there are some incredible songs that deserve to be heard more clearly. I hope that the second volume is remastered, but it does not seem that it will. I'll still buy it and I will have most of the MUST HAVE's in Bob Seger's great career. He really needs to get back in the game as he's been in the sidelines too long. Enjoy this release but just make sure that if you buy it you know that some of your favorites are not included.

I originally bought this cd because I loved the song, "Against The Wind." I didn't even know that Bob Seger sung all of these other great songs that I also liked such as, "Old Time Rock & Roll" and "Still The Same." After I listened to the whole cd, I realized why I had always heard a lot of people talk about how good Bob Seger was. There's not any bad songs on this album, most of them are great. "Night Moves" and "Like A Rock" became two more of my favorite classic songs.

I recommend any true rock fan to get this album. Hopefully, Bob Seger has a Greatest Hits Vol. 2 in mind for one of these days.

This is an awesome Cd. Bob Seger is one of the best singers ever.

Roll Me Away-Awesome hard rocker

Night Moves-Awesome soft ballad

Turn The Page-Great song that Metallica ruined

You'll Accomp'ny Me- acoustic rock

Hollywood Nights- Hard rocker

Still The Same- Great Love song

Old Time Rock & Roll- Up-beat song. best Bob Seger Song

We've Got Tonight- Awesome Love Song

Against The Wind- One of his best

Mainstreet- blues guitar and rock drum and Bob Seger singing. How can it not be great?

The Fire Inside- Up-beat mainstream rocker

Like A Rock- Awesome

You Never Can Tell (C'est La Vie)- 1 of 2 new songs on the CD. A Chuck Berry song

In Your Time- New song about his son

This is a great CD and there is not a bad song on it but the real Bob Seger Greatest Hits should be a 2-CD Set and have all the songs on this CD and:

The Lonely One (First Song)

East Side Story

Heavy Music

Ramblin' Gamblin' Man

2 Plus 2=?

If I Were a Carpenter

Sunspot Baby

This CD presents a quandary. Do you rate a greatest hits collection based on the quality of the songs on the CD, or on the completeness of the collection? Based on the quality of the CDs, this is a 5 star CD. However, the notable missing songs make this a 3 star compilation. Therefore, I have averaged the songs for 4 star overall rating.

In the Detroit area, Seger is viewed as something just short of a deity. Therefore, any Detroit review of his work is jaded. I can't get enough of his music. If you want to hear Seger at his finest, get a live CD, "Live Bullet", or even "Nine Tonight".

Unfortunately, there are many great songs missing from this collection: "Rock & Roll Never Forgets", "Katmandu", "Travelin' Man", "Beautiful Loser", "Nutbush City Limits", and "Get Out of Denver" are just examples. However, as greatest hits collections go, there are perhaps too many Seger hits for one CD.

Overall, this CD has great songs, with some omissions.

This is one of those rare "best of" albums that actually contains more than one or two hits. Nearly everything on here, from the legendary "Night Moves" to the bittersweet "Against the Wind" and the anthemic "Like a Rock" (which still packs a punch, despite being overexposed by a certain auto company) ranks as a genuine rock classic. Look over the tracks and ask yourself: How many of these have I heard on the radio? I guarantee, if you have even a passing familiarity with rock radio, then you've heard most of these played at some time. Unlike some songs, which show their age within a few years, these are timeless, memorable tunes that that effectively blend the best elements of American music--some rockabilly, a little country-western, a touch of folk sensibility, and working-class rock n' roll stylings backed by first-rate performances and Seger's dynamic vocal work--rough and tough one moment, sentimental and contemplative the next. True, there are a few Seger classics missing from this set--"Rock n Roll Never Forgets," Nine Tonight," "Beautiful Loser," "Katmandu," and the underrated "Living Inside my Heart" from the "About Last Night" soundtrack--but this is still a great disc full of great songs. Hopefully, we will someday see a fully comprehensive set of Seger's work. Until then, this will do just fine. VERY highly recommended.
