Looking over the titles you instantly remember those hits which were top ten hits, starting with Suzi's distinctive raunchy, rough around the edges 'first hits'. Can the Can, and 48 Crash, Devil Gate Drive and so on. But listening to all the other tracks on this nostalgic CD you begin to realize she actually did have a 'good' singing voice. I was pleasantly surprised to suddenly start remembering (and hearing) all the other 'great' songs she performed besides the early hard rock tunes. I purchased this CD with the intent of only listening to maybe three or four tracks, and ended up being captivated by all the tracks. For me, money well spent.

Before she was "Leather Tuscadarro" on happy days, before Joan Jett was a "Runaway" there was Suzi Quatro, "Bad ***, Bad Girl, Bass *******, Rock Chick". More popular in Europe than America, my brother saw her in Germany and I saw her in Bakersfield with Alice Cooper, during the "Welcome to My Nightmare" tour. I instantly fell for her bad girl anthem "Your Mamma Wont Like Me" and recently feeling nostalgic, I have listened to her greatest hits several times this year. Although you can't say that her stuff is on par with the great music of the seventies, it does have a certain appeal, especially in this overdubbed, synthesized music era.

If you don't know Suzi Quatro, be advised, she is more "Elvis", than say, "Heart" or "Hole", and more rock-a-billy, than classic rock. But she did fill her own niche.

Hving been only vaguely familiar w/Suzi Quatro it was nice to hear a range of different types of sounds,considering she is normally classified in the "Glam Rock" category.Listeners will hear her sing hard rock,mellow,and country flavor types of songs on this collection.This collecion is very pleasing and is recommended.

If you are buying this album after listening to Suzi's songs on YouTube you will be as disappointed as I was. The versions on this album make Suzi sound like one of the chipmunks instead of a singer with a great voice.

susie quatro should of really done more with her music. her duet"stumblin in" was great! what happened after that? she can rock out but her songs are a bit dated. she definately paved the way for womens rock n roll...

This album contains some good music, but really, most of the songs are just filler. "Devil Gate Drive" is top notch, "Can The Can" and several others are pretty good, but your CD remote will come in handy for skipping a lot of the music.
