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

 Brings me back to the 70's December 21, 2008
Not a Barbie girl! (North Carolina)
I'm really glad that I made this purchase, this CD brings me back to the 70's, and alot of good memories. I had forgotten how much I liked Neil Youngs songs, until I got this CD. On a warm spring or summer day, with the top down on the car.........this music makes the whole day seem complete.

Diane Cochrane
I love this CD, I put this on as I drive to work and smile all the way and I do the same thing on my way home. It makes me forget about all the crazy people on the roads. If you are a Neil Young fan you must add this one to your collection.

Great CD in perfect condition. Excellent seller w/ super fast shipping. Thanks for a great transaction.
 Wasted space !!! November 8, 2008
Why waste 2-3 spots in the track listing with the terrible " COWGIRL IN THE SAND". Important songs such as " SO TELL ME WHY and SUGAR MOUNTAIN", would have filled this space perfect. Who wants BACK TO BACK "long", strung out songs on a CD. They are both terrible and the first 2 on the album. Also, "HEYHEY -MY MY" song.... just plain sounds old,bad and really stupid. THAT AINT NO HIT. I don't care what anybody say's.......as well as COWGIRL IN THE SAND. Plain terrible. What a waste of space for some good shorter, better played , wrote songs.
