Free Music Notes for America - History: Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: quality music
Hit: 5 Stars
The collection from "HISTORY" provides listeners with one of the best greatest hits collections ever recorded. It was this album that prompted me to buy more America albums and I've been a fan ever since. I highly recommend their 1998 release Human Nature. It is one of the best albums I've ever listened to. The only shame is the limited airplay that it got--but hearing is believing!Free Music Review: Smoooth pop music!
Hit: 5 Stars
I just found out about the band in 1995. This album is the first America album I've bought, after hearing the radio station playing so many of their hits all too often. The irresistable "I Need You" is about the best and catchiest song of all! It's clean, with flawless instument arrangement. Next is "Horse With No Name" a Neil Young kinda sound. It's in fact their first big hit I think. Ventura HIghway is another great song. "Sister Golden Hair" is another of their No.1 hit. Producer George Martin in interview described it as " one of their (America) best song. The lyric's great, and it's a very catchy song with strong melody. And of course it was a very big hit." One thing, their cool hit "You Can Do Magic" is missing. Overall, this is a must for 'oldies' or 70's song fans!Free Music Review: simple songs
Hit: 3 Stars
I would have rated this lower but I have to admit a certain fondness for anything that features talented musicians playing likable but simplistic songs. "Alligator lizards in the air" ? "Sorry boy but I've been hit by purple rain" ? Is that where Prince got the idea ?Free Music Review: Long live the 70's
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great CD! I find myself playing it over and over. "Horse With No Name" is one of the greatest pop songs ever recorded and there are other tasty selections here too..."Lonely People", "Don't Cross The River" and "Sister Golden Hair". I own all of there 70's stuff on CD and it's great music especially when you listen to what is being written and recorded these days. Pure junk! Long live the 70's and America.Free Music Review: Who is America?
Hit: 5 Stars
Depending on how old you are America will mean different things. For me, it is the music of very early childhood. I was born in 1972, and I clearly remember my father listening to America. Like the Bee Gees, John Denver, Led Zeppelin and Neil Diamond, America brings up a nice, warm feeling. This greatest hits collection is all I have from them, but that's because I never felt America was an album-oriented band. All the hits are here except 1983's "You Can Do Magic." I think America is well like by the generation above me. Most people my age don't really remember America, though they remember the songs. I have read criticisms about America's music over the years, and I just don't think that "Horse With No Name" is a stupid song. Since I have to be subjected to Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, Ricky Martin and a slew of faceless, nameless hip-hop rappers, I can't think of anyone who sounds like America. They don't make music or folk music like this anymore. Sometimes it's better to revisit the past when the present musical climate is geared only to 13 year olds. Hey, maybe 13 year olds should be listening to America...I mean they never sang about sex, violence and money. This is a must have for any rock collector.
