4.0 out of 5 stars A good collection, but. . . ., May 12, 2000

This is a very satisfactory collection of The Guess Who's hit recordings, highlighted by the extended version of American Woman and the classic Clap for the Wolfman. The mastering is excellent. The only drawback is that a few of the group's popular earlier efforts, must notably, No Sugar Tonight, are missing. For a truly good collection of Guess Who hits, add both this disc and the Best of the Guess Who to your collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars GREATEST WHITE NORTH, October 27, 2005

THE GUESS WHO-GREATEST OF THE GUESS WHO: Stupendous Mad magazine caricaturist Jack Davis' hilarious cartoon cover notwithstanding, this is not the BEST Guess Who anthology bucks can buy, but will suffice for the casual fan who won't mind (or possibly notice) a couple of missing classics. The Canadian supergroup's signature biggies, including put-down anthem AMERICAN WOMAN, melancholy slow dancer THESE EYES, and boot-stomper NO TIME, all penned by Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings, are the bedrock of the Guess Who's early popularity. After Bachman departed to form the equally successful Bachman-Turner Overdrive, the hits kept on comin' for a while, including campy novelty CLAP FOR THE WOLFMAN, and the intectious pop single STAR BABY. If you're wondering what those missing songs are, they're good un's...the NO SUGAR TONIHT/NEW MOTHER NATURE medley, and hopeful hymn SHARE THE LAND to name a couple. Even without 'em, THE GREATEST OF THE GUESS WHO comes reasonably close to truth in advertising.

RATING: FOUR STARS, BABY

3.0 out of 5 stars good but missing a few big hits, January 22, 2005

The late 70's complation "The Greatest of the Guess Who" would make a fine introduction to the music of the Guess Who. It contains such hits as Undone, No Time, American Woman, and These Eyes. As well as a handfull of lesser known tracks. The Greatest of the Guess Who is good, but it is missing two songs that pop into my head when I think of The Guess Who, "No Sugar Tonight" and "Share the Land". The Greatest of the Guess Who is a good buy, but I would recommend getting a second cd of The Guess Who to fill in the gaps.
