Ultimate Hits: Rock And Roll Never Forgets Reviews
| 36 of 39 people found the following review helpful:  Long overdue anthology of one of rock and roll's hardest working performers., By This review is from: Ultimate Hits: Rock And Roll Never Forgets (Audio CD) He has sold more than 50 million records worldwide. During the ten year period between 1977 and 1986 Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band amassed an impressive total of 6 consecutive Top Ten albums while at the same time placing a string of 16 singles in the Billboard Top 40. All the while Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band were packing 'em in in arenas all over America. I always thought it extremely peculiar that his record label of more than three decades Capitol Records had never seen fit to issue a true anthology of his biggest hits and most popular recordings. At long last Capitol has corrected this oversight with the impressive two disc collection "Bob Seger: Ultimate Hits -- Rock & Roll Never Forgets". It seems to me that it was definitely worth the wait.To begin with you will find each and every of of Bob Seger's seven Top Ten tunes in this collection including "Night Moves" the song that made him a star back in 1976. Also included are memorable hits like... Read more 27 of 33 people found the following review helpful:  Deceiving title. Decent remasters., By Manic Nirvana (Minnesota) - See all my reviews This review is from: Ultimate Hits: Rock And Roll Never Forgets (Audio CD) Bob Seger is one of the greatest artists of all time. The sound quality of the remasters range from decent to very good. The only thing soundwise that bugs me is that a few songs in particular, "Night Moves" (around the 4:15 mark) "Mainstreet" (throughout) and "Hollywood Nights" (at the very beginning and throughout) have some sections that sound like the mastertapes were wrinkled. This is very noticeable and sounds like an audio dropout on an old cassette. These three songs sound worse then on the cd's that came out in 1999 and 2001. Also, how can you honestly call this the "Ultimate" collection when 99% of all Bob Seger recordings from 1969-1974 have not even been reissued on CD? Wow...we get the song Ramblin' Gamblin' Man. How about the whole 1969 album remastered? Or the rest of the catalogue pre-1975. How about showing some appreciation to fans of his early stuff. Is Capitol Records waiting for the mastertapes to turn to dust? I say, save yourself some money. Download...

Like other incomplete compilations from that period, e.g. Journey's Greatest Hits, it sold many million copies simply because those were the only sensible releases for people to buy (unlike Bob Seger, Journey's catalog was available but most people simply went for the Greatest Hits package).A few glaring omissions in the previous BS compilation included Fire Lake, Rock and Roll Never Forgets, Katmandu, Shame on the Moon and his biggest hit, Shakedown (he said he hated it at that time). BS selected those tracks himself, not always the perfect judge on what the rest of the world considered his best moments. These omitted tracks are all here. Almost half, 12 tracks split evenly between his 3 biggest albums (Night Moves, Stanger in Town & Against the... Read more |
