"Who said compilations don't work - the good ones are brilliant and this is the best. Airplane were a band that defined flower power, so disappointing that they mutated into the unbearable Starship."
"Solid Blues with Brass & Harp. Late night afterhours mellow. Eric was great but patchy so the good stuff's excellent, although, I must admit, there's songs here I'd have left off in favour of others."
"Okay, so there's not a great body of work from which to select a best-of but this benefits from all having being recorded over a short period of time."
"Muddy Waters from the greatest modern blues vocalist with a rake of guest guitar greats - Jeff Beck, David Gilmour, Slash, Gary Moore, Brian May et al."
"Jeff Buckley's one thing and if you listen to his old man you can see where it all comes from. Compare and contrast. Visionary stuff from an original talent."
"Thought I'd throw ya a bit of a wide ball, & they don't come much wider than this. Strange edgy psychotic music and Roky ain't pretending. It's the real deal and a great compilation. Be very afraid!"
"Another bit of nostalgia (or is it naustalgia) which was cheap and disposable but I thought it was great when I heard it. A lot more stuff here than I remembered but no big surprise there."
"I only bought this 'cause they're sited as an influence on a lot of bands I like. There's some great observational sardonic stuff here. Sharp, witty lyrics. Not big on the music side but great humour"
"Not at all a best of but I thought this a great collection of stuff that really worked well together. A lot of stuff I'd never heard before but it was all worthy."
"I'm not a big reggae fan but I went to a great blues party many years ago now (pre-Marley) and all I remember being played was Desmond Dekker & Jimmy Cliff. A good compilation for us periferal fans."
"Everyone should have some Thin Lizzy. Okay, best seen live - no longer an option but there are some great Tribute bands out there. Stick it in the car stereo on a long drive. It makes the time fly by."
"Well there wasn't too much Mother Love Bone thanks to the untimely death of Andrew Wood - most of it's here. This is the forerunner to Pearl Jam and Grunge. It really sets the tone and the standard."
"I didn't expect too much of this album having had a similar but different compilation on vinyl. However it exceeded my expectations and is really a pretty good chunk of American classic rock."
"I bought this just for "For What it's Worth", which I'd been looking for for ages thinking it was called "What's that Sound", a Stephen Stills classic. I was well rewarded, a nice collection."
"This beats the other Kinks single disc compliations by virtue of including the Dave Davis hits of the day -Susanna's still Alive and Death of a Clown."
"I hadn't got any Joni and saw Blue appear on somebody's list and thought I must get a best-of. Great compilation although there's a few great tracks missing."
