Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Bob Seger has racked up a lot of worthy tracks over the years, but it took until 1994 for a greatest hits package to appear. Voilà. The bad news: We're missing an awful lot of songs here. Night Moves is Seger's crit-pick album, and a great place to start if you don't have any Seger at all. Next in the rankings is Stranger in Town. Otherwise, his highs are pretty scattered, which would make any best-of package a worthy investment. But if you want to get comprehensive, "Rock & Roll Never Forgets", "Fire Down Below", "Horizontal Bop", "Her Strut", "Betty Lou's Getting Out Tonight", and "Katmandu" aren't on this CD--and you'll have to go to the original albums to secure them. --Gavin McNett


CD Description

Detroit has produced more than its share of great music: from jazz stars like Hank, Thad & Elvin Jones; to the Motown stable of vocal artists, and legendary rhythm players Benny Benjamin and James Jamerson. Not to mention a whole lot of hard funk and primal metal, everyone from Funkadelic and Ted Nugent, to Iggy & The Stooges and the MC5--hard driving, rugged rock and roll. Put it all together with a touch of pop, and a lot of soul, and you've got Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band.
It's easy to divine Seger's influence on the music of Bruce Springsteen, and draw parallels with the vocal style of Van Morrison. The epic themes of Seger's characters on "Night Moves" certainly parallel those of the folk heroeswho populate Springsteen songs (though he began developing his menagerie a good decade before the Boss). The chant-like, testifying cadences of Seger's blowtorch voice, and his predilection for gospelish motifs, puts one in mind of the mighty Celt's visionary flights.
And as the fine GREATEST HITS makes clear, Bob Seger's influence on contemporary roots music is enormous. A song such as "Like A Rock" practically defines a roots approach to power pop, while "Old Time Rock & Roll" finds Seger in an upbeat, Little Richard mode. Celebrations notwithstanding, "Still The Same" and "Turn The Page" are dark, unstinting unsentimental looks at the underbellyof the showbiz animal and the road.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good collection, 10 Jun 2003
By Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
Fine, but too short. There is absolutely no faulting the songs that are here, but the ones that aren't make this collection less than perfect, and at 62 minutes it could easily have included a few more.

But if you don't want to invest in Seger's original studio albums, go get this collection, and the two live albums "Nine Tonight" and "Live Bullet". That'll satisfy anyone but the most ardent fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Collection of Bob Seger's Best, 14 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This album has the usual heart-felt rock sound that only Bob Seger can deliver. It contains some of his best, toe-tapping tunes such as "Old Time Rock and Roll" and "Hollywood Nights"...but also includes his slower but equally as moving tunes such as "We've Got Tonight", "Against The Wind" and "Like A Rock". It is the perfect CD for a long road trip...it makes for great traveling music, you find yourself singing along to your all-time favorites and the hours just slip by. It's definently one for the road!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Woke up Last Night to the Sound of Thunder..., 28 Oct 2007
By Laura Knight-Jadczyk (France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
...How far off, I sat and wondered... Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves?

As a child of the 60s already feeling out of place in the late 70s, those lines pierced me to the heart. How many nights as a teenager full of angst did I listen to the sound of thunder and count off the seconds trying to determine when the storm would arrive? Because, of course, when the rain would come, I could sleep like a child again.

Yeah, Bob Seger grabbed me when that song came out in 1976 and I've been a fan ever since. You could even say that his songs are cliches of my life: Like a Rock, We've Got Tonight, Still the Same, Against the Wind, Rock and Roll Never Forgets and so on.

This little collection is great and everybody ought to have it. Sure, it could have more cuts, but for what it is, it is really worth the money. I've worn out two copies already and am on the third one! Best part is, even my grown children and my classics loving husband like Bob Seger!

I still wake up to the sound of Thunder... and hum Bob Seger's "Night Moves"!

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic rock greatest hits
Great driving music from a band somewhat under appreciated in the UK. Buy it for Hollywood Nights if nothing else. Classic 70's/80's rock and almost peerless.

I have this thing for American mainstream country come light rock and Bob Seger is in my humble opinion one of the most underated performers in the last 30 years. Read more
