Greatest Hits

Journey

Pop/Rock - Released November 15, 1988 | Columbia - Legacy

Hi-Res
Greatest Hits is an excellent, thorough 14-track collection containing all of Journey's big hits, from 1978's "Wheel in the Sky" to 1986's "I'll Be Alright Without You." Although the songs aren't presented in chronological order and a handful of minor hits ("Suzanne," "Walks Like a Lady") aren't included, it doesn't matter, since every essential Journey single -- "Only the Young," "Don't Stop Believin'," "Any Way You Want It," "Separate Ways," "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'," "Open Arms," "Send Her My Love" -- is here, which means that it's all most casual fans will ever need.© Stephen Thomas Erlewine /TiVo

Timeless - The All-Time Greatest Hits

Bee Gees

Pop - Released April 21, 2017 | Bee Gees Catalog

Hi-Res
Most bands are lucky to get a single hit, much less a couple songs people will remember. The bands that do have a run of charting songs usually fade away after making a splash, never to be heard from again except on nostalgia tours and cruises. The Bee Gees were impressive enough to have two amazing stretches when they not only topped the charts, but helped define the music of the era. Timeless: The All-Time Greatest Hits collects the cream of the crop from both their late-'60s/early-'70s baroque pop and brilliant mid-'70s funk and disco-pop periods. Starting with their early hit from 1966, "Spicks and Specks," then ending with 1987's "You Win Again," the collection gives definitive proof that the brothers Gibb were geniuses at both songwriting and making records. The baroque pop sounds were lush and moving, equally melodramatic ("New York Mining Disaster 1941"), painfully romantic ("To Love Somebody"), and emotionally devastating ("I Started a Joke"). The shift to the dancefloor and bedroom meant that the songs were lighter and slicker, with Barry's sleek falsetto taking the lead on most of their hits. All the biggies are here from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, plus proto-disco jams like "Nights on Broadway," "Jive Talkin'," and one of their slightly under-the-radar classics, "Fanny (Be Tender with My Love)." No pop band of the past 50 years had a more impressive chart run -- both commercially and artistically -- than the Bee Gees, and Timeless does a fine job laying out the facts and not muddying the waters with rarities. It's just the hits, one brilliant track after another. There are other Bee Gees collections that dive more deeply into their career, but as far as single-disc sets go, you can't do better than this.© Tim Sendra /TiVo

Greatest Hits

Queen

Rock - Released October 26, 1981 | Hollywood Records

Hi-Res
Not to be confused with 1981's Greatest Hits, 1992's Classic Queen, or 1992's reissue of 1981's Greatest Hits, 2004's Greatest Hits is a superb 20-track sampler of Queen's best, eclipsing all of the aforementioned packages. Excepting their late-career singles, this set spans the British group's tenure, from 1974's "Seven Seas of Rhye" to a 1984 live performance of "Under Pressure." In between are a host of the ambitious, distinctive, and often brilliant songs on which Queen built their name. The multi-part "Bohemian Rhapsody," with its lilting melodies, layered operatic vocals, studio trickery, and heavy metal breakdowns, epitomizes the group's recombinant aesthetic and cheeky flair. The spare, disco-funk of "Another One Bites the Dust" and the breezy, music hall-like "Killer Queen" should be familiar to anyone within earshot of a radio in the '70s and '80s. The givens -- the camp-rockabilly "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and perennial stadium anthems "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" -- are here, but surprises like the exuberant "Don't Stop Me Now" give a well-rounded perspective on the band. With Brian May's unique guitar sound and Freddie Mercury's brash, personality-filled vocal performances, Queen was one of the most original and popular acts in rock history, and Greatest Hits brings the group's peak moments together on one remarkable disc.© Anthony Tognazzini /TiVo

The 50 Greatest Hits

Elvis Presley

Rock - Released April 3, 2020 | RCA - Legacy

Hi-Res
For those familiar only with the King of Rock & Roll's name and reputation, the prospect of buying a best-of can be quite a nauseating proposition. The huge range of compilations available varies in quality, and depth, but as yet there exists no definitive choice for first-time Presleyers. RCA's latest attempt to correct this is perhaps the finest best-of Elvis Presley ever. Spanning two CDs and, as its title suggests, 50 songs, all the classic tracks are here, from "Heartbreak Hotel" through "Suspicious Minds." The sound quality is as near-perfect as one will get for a best-of from this artist, and the packaging is quite superb. While it may not be as in-depth as other compilations, The 50 Greatest Hits is adequate for those wanting the major hits, and provides a taster for each of his styles. As a starting point to Elvis Presley's work, this is unmatched by any other best-of and is an almost perfect compilation in that all of his most noted tracks are here, as are all the finest moment from each of his eras. For the more hardcore Elvis fan, also, The 50 Greatest Hits is an essential purchase, offering almost all of the finest tracks on a mere two discs.© Ben Davies /TiVo

Greatest Hits: 40 Trips Around The Sun

Toto

Rock - Released February 9, 2018 | Columbia - Legacy

Hi-Res
We’ve lost count of the number of Toto compilations, especially since they cover more or less the same selection each time. Since the album IV, a true hold-up from 1982, with two worldwide hits, “Rosanna” and “Africa”, and a torrent of awards (no less than six Grammy Awards), the band which gathered some of the most efficient studio sharks in the world has gone through many hardships without ever recreating this feat. But they didn’t prove unworthy, however, as evidenced by this Greatest Hits: 40 Trips Around The Sun, mostly destined to be released alongside a big new worldwide tour which will celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the release of their first album, Toto. If Toto’s creativity had really dried up 36 years ago, it probably still wouldn’t draw such huge crowds today. Other than “Rosanna”, it’s without surprise that you’ll find some of those first names ending with an “a” (pure coincidence, according to Lukather), with “Pamela” and “Lea” here (“Angela”, “Manuela Run”, “Holyanna” and “Mushanga” are missing). Even if the fourteenth album keeps us waiting, the band’s “survivors” still met in studio to record or complete three brand new titles, “Spanish Sea”, “Alone” and “Struck By Lightning”. The foundations of the first go back to the preparation of The Seventh One, in 1988, which allows us to hear again the late Jeff Porcaro on drums and his brother Mike on bass, in a style very similar to “Africa”. The more pop “Alone” wouldn’t be out of place on IV, even if it is Joseph Williams, arrived in 1986 and who came back in 2010, who handles vocals, just like on the livelier “Struck By Lightning”. Toto also finished the recording of six other titles for a collection whose release is planned for July. ©JPS/Qobuz

All-Time Greatest Hits

Neil Diamond

Pop - Released July 8, 2014 | Neil Diamond

Hi-Res
All-Time Greatest Hits was released on Capitol Records, a label Neil Diamond never recorded for, but Universal -- who owned the recordings Diamond made for both Uni and MCA -- selected this as the imprint for 2014's All-Time Greatest Hits, a generous collection of 23 hits from the '60s and '70s. A consistent bugaboo with Diamond compilations has been licensing, but this one does a very nice job of sampling from all of Neil's major labels, including Bang, Uni, MCA, and Columbia. The late-'70s hits -- "Forever in Blue Jeans," "Beautiful Noise," "America" -- are scattered throughout the compilation; the Uni/MCA sides ("Cracklin' Rosie," "Sweet Caroline," "Holly Holy," "Shilo," "Play Me") are the anchor of the comp, and the Bang singles are grouped together toward the end. True, the collection might've been better served if it was sequenced chronologically, but this has the vast majority of the big hits on a single disc, and that's been hard to find in Diamond's catalog.© Stephen Thomas Erlewine /TiVo

The Best Of Everything - The Definitive Career Spanning Hits Collection 1976-2016

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Rock - Released March 1, 2019 | Tom Petty - Greatest Hits

Hi-Res
The title speaks for itself: The Best of Everything! It’s also a wink at the track recorded by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers for their 1985 album Southern Accents… Tom Petty fans will know all that by heart, but even if this 38-track compilation is mostly aimed at newcomers, the album does include two rarities: an alternative version of the song The Best of Everything and the unpublished track For Real. As an ambassador of timeless rock’n’roll who left us in October 2017 at the age of 66, Tom Petty’s brilliance is perfectly encapsulated in this double album. Much like Bruce Springsteen, Petty was the flame bearer for a rock rebellion. While the topics of his lyrics were somewhat exhausted, he searched for the perfect song through his irresistible choruses and glorious melodies… Surrounded by the Heartbreakers, he was like a rock’n’roll mathematician who knew all the different theorems like the back of his hand, whether they were British (The Rolling Stones and The Beatles) or North American (Dylan and The Byrds), all the while adding his own unique sound. At the end of the 70's, Petty laid down his four aces: Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers (1976), You're Gonna Get It (1978), Damn The Torpedoes (1979) and Hard Promises (1981). They were classic, classy albums that were superbly written and performed, and we find many of the key tracks in this compilation. Punk, post-punk and new wave were big at the time and the styles fed into Petty’s music, proving that he could make something new out of something old. Or rather that he could take the rock he had grown up with (he was 15/20 years old in the 1965/1970 golden age) and give it a new energy... “What’s great, Tom Petty said in a 2006 interview, is when someone comes up to me on the street and more or less thanks me for all my work. They often call it the soundtrack to their lives. It's an incredible feeling. And that's all an artist asks for.” Perhaps The Best Of Everything - The Definitive Career Spanning Hits Collection 1976-2016 would be better off labelled under “film music”! © Marc Zisman/Qobuz

20 All-Time Greatest Hits!

James Brown

Soul - Released January 1, 1991 | Polydor

Hi-Res
While Brown's 30-track, 40-track, and even 50-track collections are excellent choices as well, this fine hits package is the best one for Brown neophytes looking for a way in. Covering his prime stretch from the late '50s through the early '70s, 20 All-Time Greatest Hits! includes early R&B milestones ("Please, Please, Please"), epochal '60s sides ("Papa's Got a Brand New Bag, Pt. 1"), and latter-day funk classics ("Papa Don't Take No Mess, Pt. 1"). And that's not to mention such perennials as "Mother Popcorn," "Hot Pants," "Cold Sweat," and "Think." Start your Brown obsession here.© Stephen Cook /TiVo

Greatest Hits: God's Favorite Band

Green Day

Alternative & Indie - Released November 17, 2017 | Reprise

Hi-Res
Green Day released their first hits collection in 2001, just prior to opening up a wildly successful second act with 2004's American Idiot. Greatest Hits: God's Favorite Band incorporates all the hits from that second act in an album that's just one song longer than the 21-track International Superhits! God's Favorite Band repeats ten songs from its predecessor and they're all the ones you'd expect: "Longview," "Welcome to Paradise," "Basket Case," "When I Come Around," "She," "Brain Stew," "Hitchin' a Ride," "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)," "Minority," and "Warning." Similarly, the six Green Day albums since International Superhits! are represented by the big hits -- "American Idiot," "Holiday," "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," "Wake Me Up When September Ends," "Know Your Enemy" -- with the triple-album ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tré! being dismissed with only one song ("Oh Love"). To this foundation, the band adds two new cuts -- "Back in the USA" and a duet with Miranda Lambert called "Ordinary World" -- but the real appeal of God's Favorite Band is how it serves as a testament for the longevity of Green Day, which is the opposite argument of International Superhits! That collection still stands as an excellent distillation of Green Day's frenetic '90s, while this one paints the band as sturdy rock & roll lifers.© Stephen Thomas Erlewine /TiVo

Greatest Hits

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Rock - Released January 23, 1993 | Geffen

Hi-Res
Hailing from the state of Florida, singer/songwriter Tom Petty has come to epitomize a new rootsy style of California rock & roll. Rhythmically, the music harkens back to the basic crunch of the Rolling Stones and the dancing pop of the Beatles, while Petty's gravelly vocals and sing-song narrative style suggest roots in the folk-blues Americana of Bob Dylan. Years before R.E.M. returned to the jangly, Rickenbacker-infected timbre of the Byrds, Petty's nasal delivery and bell-like mix of guitars and vocal harmonies gave new life to the atmospheric ballad style of Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, and company. Greatest Hits is evenly divided between material from Petty's mid-'70s and early-'80s breakthrough, and the more mature work he's been doing with producer Jeff Lynne since 1989's Full Moon Fever. The craft and content of his songwriting has grown more relaxed and accomplished with each passing album, whether alone or in tandem with Lynne and longtime lead guitarist Mike Campbell. Thus we move from the hard-churning outsider's anthem of "Refugee" with Benmont Tench's pulsing Hammond organ (from 1979's Damn the Torpedoes), to the moody Southern California metaphors of the transplanted rock exiles and doomed romantics who populate "Free Fallin'" and "Learning to Fly." All are examples of Petty's timeless, evocative songwriting. © TiVo

Santana's Greatest Hits

Santana

Pop - Released November 28, 1988 | Columbia - Legacy

Hi-Res
This ten-song sampler presents the best of Santana, 1969-71, the period of its greatest popularity. The hits include "Black Magic Woman," "Evil Ways," "Everybody's Everything," and "Oye Como Va." But note that this is a bare minimum of prime Santana. Not only does the sampler choose from only Santana's first three albums, but it leaves out such seminal numbers as "Nobody to Depend On" and "Soul Sacrifice." Those looking for a more extensive overview should consider Viva Santana!© William Ruhlmann /TiVo

Greatest Hits: The Mamas & The Papas

The Mamas & The Papas

Pop - Released March 10, 1998 | Geffen

Hi-Res
This is the single-CD successor to Creeque Alley, the double-disc career retrospective issued in the early '90s. All of the hits from "California Dreamin'" to "Dream a Little Dream of Me" are here, along with their more celebrated album tracks, and the notes by Joseph Laredo provide a decent overview of the group's formation and history. The records have been remastered yet again, although the level of improvement over Creeque Alley seems modest (Creeque Alley sounded really good) compared with that double disc's improvement over the earlier, wholly inadequate masters from the 1980s. For someone who doesn't have a lot of money to spend on the band, this is the place to start, superseding all other single-disc hits collections. [Not to be confused with earlier hits compilations, the catalog number on this 20-song collection is MCAD-11740.]© Bruce Eder /TiVo
