Editorial Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review

The band that proclaimed itself "The Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the World" has long since represented rock's most overarching confluence of art and commerce--with a distinct emphasis on the latter in recent decades--a notion this 40-track, five-decade-spanning anthology can't completely escape. While this is the first anthology to gather hits from the band's entire career, it's the early tunes that highlight one of the Stones' central ironies: virtually their entire "bad boy" reputation was built working for The Man. That original '60s musical arc bounded from '50s rock and R&B revivalism ("Not Fade Away," "The Last Time") to anti-Mop Top aggression ("Satisfaction," "Get Off My Cloud," "19th Nervous Breakdown") to proto-goth cynicism ("Paint It Black," "Have You Seen Your Mother Baby") and psychedelic minstrelsy ("She's a Rainbow," "Ruby Tuesday") to the epitome of blues-based cock rock ("Street Fighting Man," "Jumpin' Jack Flash") in quick succession. Wresting control of their own destinies--and future copyrights--at the end of the '60s, they'd spend the next 30 years largely recycling their earlier incarnation ad infinitum--their music sprinkled with occasionally successful forays into contemporary club and disco fodder ("Some Girls," "Shattered")--and resting on their well-paid laurels. Unfortunately, the listless quartet of new tracks that flesh out this collection seems little more than another business deal to hype their 2002-03 world tour, with "Don't Stop" arguably the weakest in a long string of post-'80s Stones McSingles. If Jagger seems typically detached here, Keith Richards injects some welcome, craggy warmth into the closing barroom lament, "Losing My Touch." But it's also a performance that suggests his legendary band has become little more to him than "The Greatest Day Job in the World." --Jerry McCulley

Half is amazing (2007-09-23)

As far as I'm concerned, other than 'Brown Sugar,' you may as well throw the second disc away, or use it to keep your mug of tea on.But... the first disc is so astoundingly, damned good, that you really don't care!

Absolute Class!! (2007-08-23)

I really can't understand some people's lack of appreciation for the Rolling Stones, particularly for this album. In my opinion it's one of the greatest Best Of's ever put together, right up there with the Beatles 1's collection, (for the record i'm probably an even bigger fan of the Beatles).Side one doesn't have a duff track in sight, almost every song being an absolute classic and essential on any 'Greatest Hits'. Side two is more of a mixed batch. Along with must have's like 'Brown Sugar' or 'Miss You' there are several songs from more recent years, which although don't bare comparison to their earlier work, are still a lot stronger than a great deal of music around today. And besides, how fresh would YOU sound after a career spanning forty years, a massive accomplishment on it's own.So although the second side doesn't reach the dizzying heights of side one, songs like 'Start Me Up', 'Tumbling Dice' and 'Happy' make it more than worth having.The truth of the matter is that to fully understand the popularity of the Stones you need to buy the albums, especially 'Beggars Banquet to 'Exile On Main Street'. But if I had to play any one CD of theirs to someone looking to know more about them, it would be the first disc of this album. With a collection as good as this, you'll never need any other Best Of. Simply brilliant.

Meet some men of wealth and fame (2006-12-30)

Rolling Stones are quite simply one of the most famous and influential bands ever, up there with The Beatles, Pink Floyd etc. If, like me, you are interested in them, then get this. It spans their entire career (well, up to 2002) from their '60s heyday when they churned out such classics as 'Satisfaction' and 'Sympathy For The Devil' to the '00s when they churned out such classics as 'Don't Stop'. If you get just one Rolling Stones album, then get this. All the songs here are brilliant, and I mean that.Of course, there are rock 'n' roll classics such as 'Satisfaction', 'Jumpin' Jack Flash, 'Honky Tonk Woman' and 'Brown Sugar', but their softer songs, such as 'Gimme Shelter' and 'Wild Horses' are beautiful; they are two of my favourite songs. Keith Richards writes, along with Jimmy Page, the best riffs ever, his range is great, and complemented perfectly by Mick Jagger's swaggering vocal performances. Charlie Watts isn't exactly a virtuoso drummer, but holds the beat brilliantly. Those who have come and gone over the years - Brian Jones, Mick Taylor, Bill Wyman, Ron Wood - they can all be heard here.This is the definitive Rolling Stones compilation. Don't hesitate,don't read on - buy it and love it.
