5.0 out of 5 stars They Sure Did Pick The Right Songs..., February 19, 2000

I own both Volume 1 & 2 of E.W.F.'s greatest hits, and I must say that I'm slighty disappointed (that's only because "In The Stone" isn't on either compilation). If you haven't bought either one of the collections yet, don't get either one of them unless you can't get the latest one that has 17 tracks on it. One thing that really irked me is that this particular compilation includes the song "Fantasy," which is on Volume 1. That ticked me off, but considering that they threw in "Love's Holiday" which vies for my 1st favorite between itself and "Can't Hide Love"... it was kinda-sorta forgiveable. Another thing that really igged me as well was the fact that "Turn On The Beat Box" sounds awful (probably because it was made when the 70's had ended). If I had to narrow down any E.W.F. songs to my top 5, it couldn't be done because there's so many hits. If you own this and don't have Volume 1 (or vice versa), get the other one.

EWF is perhaps the greatest band of our time. They had the best songs for a 20 year span and yet the record companies continue to put together greatest hit packages on one cd. How the heck can you have an EWF greatest hits on one cd? Impossible. Hey record company, while you're at it, do the Beatles, Elvis, Stevie and Frank too.

Earth,Wind & Fire's first greatest hits album is so musically well constructed it's almost worth those who own the albums already to have it.The same isn't true with this one-tune's like "Love's Holiday","Serpentine Fire","Mighty Mighty" and "Boogie Wonderland" are classics but the overall album doesn't flow together half as well as the first.The juxtaposition of era's is jarring too-the production and style of some of the songs have too much of a range and makes it seem well....dated in parts.Better to purchase the chronological and extensive 'Eternal Dance' box set-it has ALL the hits in the proper order and is frankly better mastered.
