Bob Seger has racked up a lot of worthy tracks over the years, but it took until 1994 for a greatest hits package to appear. Voilà. The bad news: We're missing an awful lot of songs here. Night Moves is Seger's crit-pick album, and a great place to start if you don't have any Seger at all. Next in the rankings is Stranger in Town. Otherwise, his highs are pretty scattered, which would make any best-of package a worthy investment. But if you want to get comprehensive, "Rock & Roll Never Forgets," "Fire Down Below," "Horizontal Bop," "Her Strut," "Betty Lou's Getting Out Tonight," and "Katmandu" aren't on this CD--and you'll have to go to the original albums to secure them. --Gavin McNett

Like any "Greatest Hits" album, this CD suffers from a mysterious lack of some of Seger's best work. Where's "Let It Rock," for example, or "Beautiful Loser," "Fire Lake," "Nine Tonight," etc. I know there's a limited amount of space available on any one CD for such a prolific artist, but I'd still rather have seen some of these songs than what ended up on this collection. That's not to say most of it isn't good; "The Fire Inside" is firmly established as my favorite Bob Seger song ever: a driving beat, a catchy melodic line and the typically introspective lyrics that are the reason Bob Seger is truly a rock legend. A string of classic songs occurs with "Hollywood Nights," "Still The Same," and "Mainstreet," but while the use of "Roll Me Away" and "Turn The Page" near the beginning isn't bad, it still seems like there are better songs that could have been put there. Of the two previously unreleased songs, "C'est La Vie" is the standout; even though it was originally a Chuck Berry number, Seger and the Silver Bullet band do a wonderful job with it. "In Your Time" is less noteworthy, and seems to be there mainly to underscore the fact that this album is dedicated to the children of the band members. Awww. Overall, this CD doesn't really seem representative of Seger's "typical" style to me. But it still contains a wealth of good, old-fashioned rock (since it's my opinion that Seger never wrote a bad song), and it's a wise investment.

Over the past 2 decades, Bob Seger has put out some of the best mainstream rock and roll and this release gives a good sample of that. Most greatest hits collections tend to either overlook key songs when dealing with successful artists, or give you a bunch of filler when the record company has the audacity to put out a 1 or 2 hit wonder "greatest hits" release.
Obviously when dealing with Bob Seger, there are just too many great songs, but these release overlooked too many especially when there were over 20 minutes left blank that could have filled with "Rock and Roll Never Forgets," "Katmandu," "Shame on the Moon," or any of his amazing early records; notwithstanding what is here is good and there is absolutely no filler. This 1994 release includes a new song that is really good as well as a very cool version of Chuck Berry's "C'est La Vie"
Capitol Records is attempting to correct this wrong by releasing a second greatest hits volume on 11/4/2003. The good news that that this release will include overlooked songs as well as newer material, including two new songs.
But back to thsi release... The songs will take you back to a time when music and life was so different. Listening great songs like "Against The Wind", "Night Moves", and "Mainstreet" (which I am lstening to right now) is a pleasure that I had not enjoyed in a long time as I am now revisiting all my CDs as I had gone overboard trying to buy new stuff and most of it fails to impress as those of yesteryear.
I do wish that Capitol Records had released a remastered version of this release as it did with many others in the Bob Seger catologue as there are some incredible songs that deserve to be heard more clearly. I hope that the second volume is remastered, but it does not seem that it will. I'll still buy it and I will have most of the MUST HAVE's in Bob Seger's great career. He really needs to get back in the game as he's been in the sidelines too long. Enjoy this release but just make sure that if you buy it you know that some of your favorites are not included.

I originally bought this cd because I loved the song, "Against The Wind." I didn't even know that Bob Seger sung all of these other great songs that I also liked such as, "Old Time Rock & Roll" and "Still The Same." After I listened to the whole cd, I realized why I had always heard a lot of people talk about how good Bob Seger was. There's not any bad songs on this album, most of them are great. "Night Moves" and "Like A Rock" became two more of my favorite classic songs.
I recommend any true rock fan to get this album. Hopefully, Bob Seger has a Greatest Hits Vol. 2 in mind for one of these days.

CD "sticks" at one place so that the listener has to skip the song to continue. Other than that, it's a great CD.

A testiment to Bob Seger's Big Sound
This is a great album with a lot of "big sound" Seger tunes. Bob Seger is one artist that can possess a "signature" sound without all the songs sounding alike. Read more

The best!
Really great songs. Good price. Brings me back to the 70s/80s! I didn't realize how many awesome songs Seger actually had.

Why?
Why are CD's packaged like national security?
I buy 99% of my music online but Bob the NEANDERTHAL does not sell his music from any technology later than the 19th century.

A great album with only one tune missing
What's there to say? Bob Seger is a legend of rock-and-roll, a singer-songwriter of enormous talents. This Greatest Hits album was released in 1994, and we platinum eight times! Read more

Bob's Best Work in One Circular Shaped Disc
I was not that familiar with Mr Seger's music before my friend Jae Han got me this CD for a birthday present. I have to say it didn't take me long to get into this. Great stuff.

Missing
A Bob Seger Greatest Hits album without Ramblin' Gammblin' Man and Heavy Music, is no such thing. No 2 + 2? UMC? Persecution Smith. Lame. Missing the best songs.
