1) Amazon.com
One question would be: What took him so long? After all, a contemporary like Van Morrison has sold boatloads of his single-disc best-of set to buyers wary of diving into that deep catalog without a primer to get them started. So three and a half decades into his solo career, Neil Young finally delivers his version of that most modest of albums--the pre-holiday "hits" overview. What's surprising, coming from such a proud maverick, is its conventionality. Granted, the original master mixes are a boon for fans, but otherwise, there's not much here for loyalists who quite likely already possess the original "Like a Hurricane" on a couple of albums, as well as a handful of live interpretations scanning the years. Since Young cracked the Top 10 only once (1972's "Heart of Gold"), this set is built around concert staples as "Cinnamon Girl," "Rockin' in the Free World," and "Hey, Hey, My My" rather than chart favorites. Despite Young's honorable standing as a still-vital graybeard, the disc is skewed heavily toward his early work, shortchanging some mighty productive recent years. Peripheral fans may find this set of interest, but faithful followers are better advised to investigate the DVD version, which, at least, includes videos, photos, lyrics, and Web links. --Steven Stolder

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5

1) Neil Youngs Greatest Hits   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Greatest HitsExcellent remastering of Neil Youngs music!!! I hear detail I have not heard before.

2) Best version of Cinnamon Girl on the Planet still!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Everyone is always trying to new and improve everything. I've heard a few musicians try to redo my favorite Neil Young song, Cinnamon Girl and nobody comes close to the original version. Again, there are moments in time that come together like magic with just the right chemistry and can never be repeated or improved upon. This entire album stands the test of time, simply a master piece.

3) I forgot Neil Young had so many hits   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This CD is full of Neil Young's oldies you remember and oldies you forgot. Great listening throughout. Be prepared for some full-length versions of some of the biggest hits.

4) GREAT CD!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This CD is packed with some of the best music that Neil Young has created over the years. This is a must for any Neil Young fan, young or old!

5) Zib Zob and Janice S.G. Are Right   [Rating: 1 out of 5]
This recording is distorted and it sounds as if he is singing with helium. Even the newer tracks sound as if they were recorded analog with outdated equipment. Many people are not aware that Mr. Young recorded back in 1966 under the name Napoleon XIV. And yet not one those hits appear here!
