Strengths: NA Weaknesses: NA Summary: 2004-08-25 00:00:00 A so-so greatest hits package. Where is Tunnel of Love? Where is Pink Cadillac? Where is I'm on Fire? Where is Blinded by the Light? Where is I'm Goin' Down? They goofed on this....also I would have been perfectly happy if they had excluded Born in the USA, but that's just me. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

A collection of terrific songs from one of great musicians of our time. It makes me angry, though, whenever I hear "BORN IN THE USA" held up as a patriotic song. It gets played every July 4th by mindless creatins who don't realise that it is actually a great protest song, about the terrible and shameful way we treated our returning heroic vets from Vietnam.

Strengths: NA Weaknesses: NA Summary: 2001-05-06 00:00:00 This cd captures so much of the glory of the Bruce we all know and love! I bought this the day it came out, and I wasn't disappointed at all! Okay, not every song he ever did is on it, but the ones that are are some (repeat, some!) of the greatest! The "USA" tracks reflect widespread commercial success and 'springstomania'! The earlier tracks reflect the outright passion and joy of the E Street Band, and the later songs reflect how Bruce has grown as an ARTIST! I love this cd so much, and it just gives me a wonderful feeling to revel in this collection of heartfelt, beautiful music! Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

I know that it's not really a collection of ALL of his greatest, but every song on it falls into the "my favorites" section for me! I would have included "Jungleland" "Sandy" "Rosalita" "I'm Goin Down" "Tunnel of Love" and "Reason to Believe" but I still love what's on it. If you want a look at every side of Bruce's music, I guess this is a good sampler, but don't stop at this one, get "Live 1975/85, Born to Run, Tunnel of Love and Born in the USA", too!

It reminds me of summer '95! I must say I'm very glad to see Born to Run as the fist song. I would have been disappointed otherwise! That song, with Thunder Road are just beautiful. Badlands, Hungry Heart, Born in the USA, and Glory Days are just awesome! The River, My Hometown, Brilliant Disguise, Streets of Philadelphia, and Secret Garden are so beautiful, so romanitic, so meaningful! Dancing in the Dark and Human Touch are so cool I just can't say anything more about them! If I could have some input as to what songs were on this album, though, it does leave out a few of my faves: I'm Goin Down, Cover Me, etc. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

Strengths: NA Weaknesses: NA Summary: 2000-12-11 00:00:00 How a Springsteen Greatest Hits album can have twice as many songs from Born in the USA than it does from Born to Run is beyond me. Sure, this album has good tunes, but as a big Bruce fan, I think it does a great disservice calling itself a greatest hits album. First, it completely ignores his career prior to Born to Run, leaving off classics like Rosalita, Growin' Up, and Spirits in the Night. Second, by focusing on later albums, it includes only one song from Darkness (Badlands) and two songs from Born to Run. If you're a new fan of Bruce and you like this album, do yourself a favor and purchase Born to Run (one of the best rock and roll albums of all time) and Darkness on the Edge of Town. You'll come out of listening to them with the same questions I did about the Greatest Hits album. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.
