Hit: 4 Stars
Elton's 2-disc greatest hits package is a good place to start if you're getting into Elton John, even though it falls short in some areas.
The Good: A great deal of Elton's best hits from the 70s and 80s are here: "Tiny Dancer," "Daniel," "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting," "I Don't Want To Go On With You Like That," etc. The first disc and half of the second is toe-tappingly listenable.
The Bad: Around the middle of the second disc is where this collection loses steam. It focuses too much on Elton's adult contemporary period, where frankly, his music declined in quality.
What I would have changed: I would have ditched the songs from The Lion King, Aida, and "This Train Don't Stop Here Anymore," for starters. In their place I would have included 70s standards like "Take Me To The Pilot," "We All Fall In Love Sometimes," and "I Think I'm Going To Kill Myself."
Overall, a good collection that could have been stellar if not for the second half of disc 2.
Free Music Review: A must have!
Hit: 5 Stars
I got into Elton a couple years ago, and since I didn't have any of his stuff, I started out with this cd. It's great!! I could listen to it over and over again. The last few songs I'm not too fond of, but that's only because I'm not crazy about his newer stuff. Free Music Review: Elton's Best at a Single Package
Hit: 5 Stars
In the sea of existing Elton's "Greatest Hits" compilations, this 2-CD set is the one that better resumes his career's highlights in my opinion (surely not considering the post-2002 releases). No need to wonder which one of all those available today to choose from.
Personally, I found this release more complete than the others since includes not only his most meaningful hits (although I know a "Greatest Hits" doesn't necessarily include his best songs), but also a booklet which tells interesting facts about his career, including a bunch of photographs from his early years. By the content found both on the CDs and the booklet, one might think - not without a reason - that this release was made targeting specially the US market.
My favorites are: "Your Song", "Crocodile Rock", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", "Philadelphia Freedom", "Little Jeannie", "Sad Songs" and "Circle of Life". Today, this compilation costs a little more than the price of a single CD, contains 34 songs, so it's an interesting purchase from the cost-benefit standpoint. It's worth the investment.
