Editorial Reviews :
Bob Seger has racked up a lot of worthy tracks over the years, but it took until 1994 for a greatest hits package to appear. Voilą. The bad news: We're missing an awful lot of songs here. Night Moves is Seger's crit-pick album, and a great place to start if you don't have any Seger at all. Next in the rankings is Stranger in Town. Otherwise, his highs are pretty scattered, which would make any best-of package a worthy investment. But if you want to get comprehensive, 'Rock & Roll Never Forgets,' 'Fire Down Below,' 'Horizontal Bop,' 'Her Strut,' 'Betty Lou's Getting Out Tonight,' and 'Katmandu' aren't on this CD--and you'll have to go to the original albums to secure them.
Buyer Reviews :
Great American rock and roll, no doubt about that. Seger, Tom Petty and John Mellencamp occupy a tier just under Bruce Springsteen on the ladder of this country's very best rockers, and this collection is loaded with legitimate rock classics--songs like 'Night Moves,' 'Mainstreet,' 'Firelake,' 'Shame on the Moon,' 'You'll Accompany Me' and especially the brilliant album cut 'Turn The Page' comprise some of the best music on the radio in those years.
My complaint is that there just isn't enough classic Seger here. Of the 14 tracks, two were new at the time: 'You Can Never Tell' is a pretty good Chuck Berry cover (although no classic), and 'In Your Time' is a sincere but rather ordinary tribute to the kids of the band members. That leaves only a dozen classics, and while the record company deserves credit for making a well-chosen, concise collection available to the casual Seger fan, there's much more to recommend him. If you like this stuff, by all means pick up 'Live Bullet' (sensational early stuff--'Turn The Page' is from this set) as well as 'Night Moves,' 'Stranger in Town,' 'Against The Wind' and 'The Distance.' Every last one of Seger's studio LP's are worth owning, and the aforementioned are all excellent.
