Forget about a career retrospective -- it's impossible to summarize the Byrds' hits in ten songs. Nevertheless, the budget-line collection Super Hits does a nice job of rounding up the group's hits -- including "Mr. Tambourine Man," "Turn! Turn! Turn!," "Eight Miles High," and "So You Want to Be a Rock & Roll Star" -- plus a handful of cult favorites ("Chestnut Mare," "He Was a Friend of Mine") on one affordable compilation. It's far from definitive or necessarily representative -- several phases of the band's evolution are missing -- but it may be of interest to casual fans on a strict budget.
