Summary: Good for casual Boston listeners
Comment: As a serious Boston fan, I wanted to get this CD so I don't leave gaps in my collection, but I realized some of the best songs have been omitted on this CD, like "Hitch a ride" , "Used to bad news" , "It's easy", "I need your love"... Obviously, no compilation is perfect, but why did you omit "Hitch a ride" Mr. Scholz? This song has one of the best, if not THE BEST guitar solo ending, and it could have been included instead of having 2 versions of "Higher power" (which is a crapy song, in my opinion of course). Anyways, to make it short, this compilation is VERY good for casual Boston listeners who don't have the previous CDs, but as far as I am concerned, I'd rather make my own "Best Hits" and save my $$ for new Boston material.

Summary: never gets old
Comment: Got to admit, can hear most of this on an FM radio, but listening to them back to back still rocks. Much of the later stuff Amanda is horrible, but the magic of the first album comes through. Be forewarned, the booklet expouses a bunch of goofy radical policical causes that detract from the music. Hard to believe anyone could make music this good and believe in such nonsense like the vegan crap.

Summary: Almost The Definitive Boston Collection
Comment: This disc has most of the essential Boston songs. It features some of their best album cuts like "Cool The Engines", "Smokin'", "Rock And Roll Band", and "Feelin' Satisfied". "Cool The Engines" is also a nice addition to this collection. Most of the hits are present like "More Than A Feeling", "Foreplay/Long Time", "Peace Of Mind", "Don't Look Back", "A Man I'll Never Be" and "Amanda". However songs like "We're Ready", Cantcha Say/Still In Love" and "I Need Your Love" are not included on this collection though they should be. According to Boston's web site, Tom Scholz is remastering this CD for re-release. Maybe "We're Ready", Cantcha Say/Still In Love" and "I Need Your Love" will be included this time. "Tell Me" and "Higher Power" are outstanding tracks as well.

Summary: Great cd but....
Comment: This cd has all of the classic Boston songs we all love, and a few new ones at the time of release. But this compelation could have been much better. I thought that a greatest hit cd was just that, a "greatest hits". How come "We're Ready", and "Can'tcha Say/Still In Love" were omitted? Both of these songs charted in the top 50 when released as singles. Also, what in hell is Tom Scholz obsession with "Living For You"? He also put that song on "Corporate America" Come on Tom that song is really not that good. If you felt the need to include something from the "Walk On" cd then "Surrender To Me" would have been an much better choice. Of the newer songs "Higher Power" is really good. It rocks with the trademark Boston guitar sound that we all know so well. "The Star Spangled Banner/4th Of July Reprise" is totally cool. Very up-tempo with melodic guitars; not to mention the awsome begining with the hyper space pedal guitar effects unique to Boston. Good cd to add to your collection.
