Free Music Notes for Words & Music: John Mellencamp's Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: Confused
Hit: 3 Stars
This guy just confuses me. I love some of his singles, like Cherry Bomb - what a cool song. I bought this collection having never owned any of his albums/CDs. If I put this on to listen to, in about 15 minutes I am aggravated. There is something grating about his voice or something. I also have never liked his political adventures or social commentaries. I mean I know Farm-Aid was cool, but his constant harping about injustice and even the big deal over his name and how the industry tried to eat him up aggravates me. Even the fact that he scribbled all over his Gibson acoustic aggravates me. His image seems so contrived, the torn bluejeans small town crap. He is the best example I can think of where if he just stuck to the music and I didn't know all this other stuff, I would be OK. Like I said, he confuses me but he has made some good music and really has gone the distance and is no "one album wonder" so for that I give him three stars. This collection has all the good ones from what I can tell and it is probably made for "fans" like me who just want the singles and not all the other baggage.

This item contains 2 cds and a bonus dvd--complete words plus music of JC Mellencamp's greatest hits--what a good deal! Free Music Review: How about a Greatest Hits DVD??
Hit: 3 Stars
Mellencamp has alot of great videos for his hits but the bonus dvd here only has 5 videos. How about a seperate hits dvd like U2's 18 or a more generous bonus dvd like the one included in the latest Stevie Nicks greatest hits or the Robert Plant box set. Now those are well-made greatest hits dvds to get excited about.Free Music Review: Outstanding!!

CD truly charts the artistic journey of John Mellencamp (first caught my interest as John Cougar in the early 80s). Usually compilations tend to be notorious for omitting couple of hits that left a sense of incompleteness and dissatisfaction. But Words & Music has all the songs that matter to any John Mellencamp's fans. It deserves a place in anybody's collection (and certainly worth your money!).
