Amazon.com essential recording

The naughtily titled Immaculate Collection culls 15 of Madonna's Top 10 singles from 1984 to mid-'90, plus 2 new ones that continued the run (the dirty, trunk-bumping funk of "Justify My Love"--a Lenny Kravitz production that justifies his entire career--and the danceable desperation of "Rescue Me"). Rooted in disco and classic AM pop from girl groups and ABBA to Strawberry Alarm Clock, Madonna made savvy, touching music throughout her first golden era. These tracks retain their sonic and historical significance while, like "She Loves You" or "Rocket Man," still brightening any space they're being played in. Far more than just a wise, irreverent image-maker--like the Beatles or Elton, come to think of it--Madonna during these years was the gift that kept on giving, forever fresh, sexy, hooky, and joyously sharp. --Rickey Wright

5 out of 5 stars Major Madonna Mine.......2007-07-09

This album has all the big hits and best stuff from Madonna from 84 thru 90. Great compilation of the stuff from the first phase of Madonna's career. Gotta have this if you're a fan of the 80s.

4 out of 5 stars Good, but not without flaws.......2007-05-27

While I'm reluctant to speak at all negatively about an otherwise fabulous compilation, I do have to concede to being a bit dismayed by the extent to which certain songs on it have been changed - the opening track of Holiday in particular (for which, sadly in my opinion, the Immaculate version seems to have pretty much become the default version - i.e. the one most likely to be heard when Holiday is played somewhere). If the original versions of this and Lucky Star were felt to be too long for such a collection, why couldn't their 7" Edits have been used instead?

Having said that, I certainly think its remix of Material Girl is an improvement and I like its slightly more tropical-sounding (to me) version of La Isla Bonita at least as much as the original as well; but in addition to my criticisms of Holiday and Lucky Star (and I'm not as keen on the Papa Don't Preach present on here either), I should perhaps also mention that Like a Prayer has likewise undergone a little too much remixing for my liking, since it has given the song what I'd describe as a less haunting feel. Not that this means I consider it to be a poor remix though - on the contrary, I think it's rather good as far as radical remixes go. But I do still question whether it's appropriate for a hits album in view of how different it is from the version of Like a Prayer that was actually released as a single and which made this song so famous.

It would've been nice too if a few of Madonna's other pre-1991 hits (e.g. True Blue and Who's That Girl?) had been included, but I can understand why they weren't given the time constraint likely in place. Nevertheless, if at some point (maybe at the end of her official singing career) an even bigger collection of her hits is produced (a two- or three-part one no doubt), I do hope that the needless shortcomings of this one will not be replicated and that the 7" versions of Holiday and Lucky Star (or at least versions very similar to them) will be the ones it contains (though I do as I said prefer the Immaculate version of Material Girl and would be quite happy therefore if that one were to appear again).

5 out of 5 stars "You put this in me, so now what, so now what...?".......2007-03-16

The Immaculate Collection spans Madonna's '80s and early '90s tracks. Conceived as a greatest hits collection, this album also contained two new tracks, the ever-so-naughty, Justify My Love and the vocally powerful, Rescue Me. Some of my favorite songs include: Vogue, Cherish, Lucky Star, Material Girl, La Isla Bonita, and Live to Tell. Every song is a classic, no duds here. Madonna just keeps on getting better and better, one of the most important, influential, and provactive woman entertainers of our generation. I also recommend her best album to date, Ray of Light as well. Enjoy this non-stop party from our girl, Madge.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Awesome and a must have album for Madonna fans and casual fans.......2007-03-08

This is a five star album and the only Madonna album or collection of hits you need. The album is all that and a bag of chips. In fact the 17 hits on this album show why Madonna is the queen of pop music and why she has been such a big star since the 80's. I do not think Madonna can top or produce better dance/pop music than she did in the 80's and early 90's, so she will always be remembered for these hits in my opinion. This album never gets old and stands its time. The music on this album is completely ageless and feel good music.

5 out of 5 stars The Immaculate Collection........2007-02-16

Sensational cd.
The only down side is that several of her hits are missing, including 2 of my favorites, True Blue and Who's that girl.
A great trip back in time, and really well done.
A fantastic buy for anyone.

Taken literally, this album's title is sure to cause endless arguments. Nothing from Dirty Mind, not a trace of the early anthem "Controversy," no "Erotic City"--no non-LP cuts at all, save some edited single versions--and a cold shoulder to the criminally out-of-print Gold Experience. Damn. As a compendium of 17 key A-sides from 1979 to 1992, however, The Very Best of Prince is (ahem) a quick-'n'-dirty review of the days when the Artist was, in the estimation of R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck, one of the weirdest musicians in the Top 10. Blessed with both creative cunning and the wish to reach every listener possible, Prince revitalized rock and soul modes from the sex-crazed ("Little Red Corvette") to the cryptically spiritual ("Purple Rain"). Often he blurred lines between attitudes as surely as he did musical ones; the New Testament image of "Thieves in the Temple" became in his hands a complaint about a stolen girlfriend. Though a fine party artifact, this disc is still likely to prove too scanty even for many casual Prince fans. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A Great Introduction to Italian Opera.......2005-05-01

The artists on this CD succeed in their goal to create a CD that displays great Italian opera. Carlo del Monte and Victoria de los Angeles open the disc with the Brindisi from La Traviata. Victoria de los Angeles is not the best Violetta, but she does the job, along with her parner Carlo del Monte, an underappreciated tenor. Victoria de los Angeles also appears on the CD in "Un bel di vedremo" from Madama Butterfly, a role she was well known for. Swedish tenor Nicolai Gedda appears on the disc twice. His first appearence is a superb rendition of "La donna e mobile" from Rigoletto. His final performance on this disc is in the heroric aria "Celeste Aida", a performance in a role that was not in his voice range. Anna Moffo is the star on this CD, appearing three times in three very different roles. First is her beautiful "Una voce poco fa", normally a role that calls for a mezzo-soprano. Her second is "Voi che sapete" from Le Nozze di Figaro, another mezzo-soprano role. Her final appearence is her best, "The Mad Scene" from Lucia di Lammermoor. Underrated tenor Giuseppe Campora performs "Che gelida manina" with a great tenor voice. Soprano Reri Girst is excellent in her performance of "Caro nome" from Rigoletto. One of my favorite baritones appears on this CD. Robert Merrill is a perfect Count di Luna, and it is evident in his rendition of "Il balen del suo sorriso". Another baritone appears on this CD: mario Sereni. He is not a world famous baritone, but he should have been. Overall, this is an excellent introduction to the world of Italian opera.

5 out of 5 stars Best of the best!.......2003-01-11

The performers, the selections, the quality... almost divine!

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous bargain for anyone.......2002-11-24

I would recommend this CD to anyone, from opera novice to experienced listener...

These are older recordings -- I would guess mostly from the 1960's. The recording quality is exceptional for the day and, while not the equivalent of modern engineering, is sufficient to allow sheer physical pleasure from the music and an immediate appreciation of the vocal qualities of the artists. The sound quality is the only mild drawback...

The performances are magnificent! The voices are almost entirely lighter and more agile than the great voices of the 80's and 90's. In fact, the ear of the editor is apparent in his preference for lighter and more agile voices.

For example, there is a beautiful rendition of "Che Gelida Manina" from someone I had never heard before, Guiseppe Campora. He does not have the weight or volume of Pavarotti or Domingo, but has more elegance and a pure, charming tone. A connoisseur performance, but nevertheless a true operatic rendition by a tenor who can hit the high C with authority -- as good for a newcomer to opera who wants to hear the real thing, as for an opera lover who would like to hear something a bit different.

Some of the artists were among the most famous singers of their day: Moffo, de los Angeles, Gedda.

Anna Moffo, one of the greatest sopranos of her day (and all time), is in magnificent voice in famous blockbusters from Rossini's Barber of Seville, Mozart's Marriage of Figaro, and the Mad Scene from Lucia di Lammermoor.

De Los Angeles is at her best in "Libiamo" from La Traviata, but the recording quality (the one inadequately engineered track on the CD) and her lack of oomph make for a second-rate version of "Un bel di".

In keeping with the light and lyrical orientation of the selections, Moffo -- a famous Gilda and hardly a dramatic voice -- is bypassed for the even lighter, sweeter and more agile colatura Reri Grist (while she still had her voice), in a lovely "Caro Nome".

Another nice selection is Mario Sereni performing "Di provenza, il mar". Both this and "Libiamo" are taken from one of my favorite recordings of Traviata -- also a great chance to hear Serafin at the helm of the Rome Opera House orchestra. (The 2-CD version of this is still available from EMI, I think.) Newcomers will love this pretty tune, and Sereni's archtypal Verdi baritone is good, although hardly the best ever.

Franco Corelli has never been a favorite of mine, but he sounds the best I've ever heard him in his rendition of "Cielo et mar".

Anyway, I didn't intend to list every cut. Whether you are an opera lover who would like to hear some of opera's most famous arias performed in a new light, or an opera lover who would like to hear great performances at a cut-rate price, this CD gets my unqualified approval.

4 out of 5 stars Great songs for a low price........2001-08-16

Ranging from selections of La Traviata, Il Trovatore and other popular Italian operas, this is a great cd for under four bucks. The singers may not be well recognized, but they do possess powerful voices.

2 out of 5 stars Not a good choice........2001-02-22

To the contrary of one of the other ratings, I think if you are new to opera, this is NOT the CD I would recommend as an introduction. While it DOES have many of the very well known, it is, in my opinion, very poor quality, done by people with hardly any feeling for the music. They are good singers, but that's all they are doing. Hearing someone sing words is much different than hearing someone accomplished sing the soul of the story. All in all, a very boring, poorly done CD. I guess you get what you pay for though. I just recived mine yesterday, and will probably return it. If you are new to opera, I would suggest Pavarotti. The 2 star rating is because the orchistra was good.

Bathroom escapades aside, there's no denying that George Michael has been responsible for some of the biggest party jams of the '80s and '90s. Have you ever noticed what happens to a room when "Faith" erupts from the speakers? Aside from the funk-fueled "Fastlove," the material from his most recent album, Older, is well and truly overshadowed here by the megahits from days gone by. The first disc starts off slow, with "Careless Whisper" and his remake of "I Can't Make You Love Me" the only real high points among otherwise bland ballads. It's disc 2 that exudes the essence of Michael, with "Fastlove," "Too Funky," and "Freedom 90" providing a nonstop dance-athon, and "I Want Your Sex" and "Faith" picking up the slack. The package also includes his rather unexciting (but hugely popular) duets with Queen and Elton John, his perfect pop pairing with Aretha Franklin, and two new tracks. Set aside some serious time for this one, folks. The hits don't stop. --Rebecca Wallwork

George Michael is derived from the latin term Georgeus Michaelus. He is a musical mastermind but a poor lover.

4 out of 5 stars Love this!.......2006-07-12

I love George Michael's music and did not have all of his albums, only Faith, but I loved some of the later stuff and earlier stuff too, so I just had to have this CD. If you love the hits and don't have those albums or singles, get this.

5 out of 5 stars The best from the best.......2006-07-07

Absolutely the most interesting artist of 1980/90s. The two CDs represent almost two decades of George Michael's work. Mostly the songs are ballads however there are some really unusual ones - no way to be bored listening the CDs.

"Einstein On The Beach" is what really made this greatest hits album exceptional. This was always one of my favorite Counting Crows songs, but it never got released on any of their albums, so it wasn't until this greatest hits album got released that I finally was able to own that song after all these years. Even without this song on there, however, this would still be a great collection. After all, IT'S COUNTING CROWS!!

5 out of 5 stars This album is worth the dough!.......2007-03-09

This is a really good greatest hits album by The Counting Crows. It includes all their hits except for one that I feel should have been included, "A Murder of One" it's off their first album "August And Everything After." All together you should buy this album or at least dl and add it to ur collection. I have it on my mp3 player and you should too!

5 out of 5 stars Best of Counting Crows.......2007-01-30

Excellent album, I get it over a year ago and I swear a week doesn't go by where I can't help from putting this cd in my cd player! Nice mix of songs and a good variety too. So no matter what mood ur in this cd has something on it for you!

5 out of 5 stars I've been Counting Crows since I got this album.......2007-01-30

I was never a "real" fan of Counting Crows before seeing them in concert this summer. I had the songs "A Long December," "Mr. Jones," and "Colorblind" in my collection. This "greatest hits" album is a great way to experience the band without buying their myriad of CDs, if you can't afford them. Some of them are old favorites, including two of the three mentioned above. Some were new to me, including "American Girls" and "Einstein on the Beach (For an Eggman)," both of which I had never heard before and now really enjoy. I would suggest, however, that you do purchase "Colorblind" separately, because it is one of their best songs and is not included in this album.

5 out of 5 stars Buy it now.......2007-01-21

I recently bought this CD and loved it. Some of the songs are often heard on the radio, and those are the ones I listened to a lot at first, and then I started listening to the rest of the CD and found it was absolutely incredible.

I love that their songs have some point while still being upbeat, for the most part, which is a rare feat- I've found most light songs lack any real depth.

My favorite song on this CD was 'Anna Begins', but they were all amazing.

I also had the chance to see the Counting Crows live in concert, and that was amazing too- I think the live version adds to the depth of the songs, so now I'm planning to buy their live CD as well.

I'd definitely recommend this CD to anyone.

5 out of 5 stars Everything You'd Want.......2007-06-12

This is a great compilation of Donna Summer's works. If you're old enough, it'll take you back to your youth and fun times at the disco.
I thank the powers that be for this gift and reminder of how great Donna Summer is.

5 out of 5 stars very best of donna summer.......2007-05-14

its a double cd and it is excellent listening. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes fast music.

4 out of 5 stars I Luv Donna.......2007-04-06

Excellent CD! Donnas voice is timeless. The second CD is all 12" dance mixes. I forgot how great the MacArthur Park Suite was. If They included the Hot Stuff/Bad girls Mix (Anthology) in the CD, It would have got 5 stars from me!.

5 out of 5 stars Donna Summer Rocks!.......2007-01-10

Donna Summer is a Diva of all times. I listen to this CD
over and over again. Her vocals are outstanding and her music
is timeless.

5 out of 5 stars Donna Summer: THE JOURNEY: THE VERY BEST OF DONNA SUMMER (2003).......2006-11-19

In September of 2003, Donna Summer released her twenty-seventh album entitled, THE JOURNEY: THE VERY BEST OF DONNA SUMMER. This is, yet, another great album by the Queen of Disco, despite the fact that it is missing a few tracks here, a few tracks there. But still a great compilation.

LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY
From the album LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY (1975). Still a great song.

COULD IT BE MAGIC
From the album A LOVE TRILOGY (1976). Just simply an amazing cover. It's a song that I could really dance to.

I FEEL LOVE
From the album I REMEMBER YESTERDAY (1977). An amazing song. I love it's Disco-vibe.

I LOVE YOU
From the album ONCE UPON A TIME...(1977). Great song.

LAST DANCE
From the original motion picture & motion picture soundtrack THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY (1978). Still a classic after all of these years.

MacARTHUR PARK
From the single MacARTHUR PARK (1978). Great song. This is definitely a song that I could really dance to.

HEAVEN KNOWS
From the single HEAVEN KNOWS (1978). Another great Disco song.

HOT STUFF
From the album BAD GIRLS (1979). This is, yet, another great song, with it's Rock-Disco combination.

BAD GIRLS
From the album BAD GIRLS (1979). Awesome.

DIM ALL THE LIGHTS
From the album BAD GIRLS (1979). Great song.

NO MORE TEARS (ENOUGH IS ENOUGH) (performed by Barbra Streisand & Donna Summer)
Original version from Barbra Streisand's album WET (1979). Still the best Diva Duet in the history of music.

ON THE RADIO
From the album ON THE RADIO: GREATEST HITS VOLUMES I & II (1979). Awesome song. I could definitely tear up the dance floor with this track.

THE WANDERER
From the album THE WANDERER (1980). Another great song, with Donna Summer leaving Disco behind.

LOVE IS IN CONTROL (FINGER ON THE TRIGGER)
From the album DONNA SUMMER (1982). Awesome tune.

STATE OF INDEPENDENCE
From the album DONNA SUMMER (1982). Awesome tune.

SHE WORKS HARD FOR THE MONEY
From the album SHE WORKS HARD FOR THE MONEY (1983). Great song.

THIS TIME I KNOW IT'S FOR REAL
From the album ANOTHER PLACE AND TIME (1989). I'll never forget the day when I first heard this song. The minute I heard it, I instantly fell in love with it. This is one of Donna Summer's great dance tunes of the '80s.

I WILL GO WITH YOU (CON TE PARTIRO)
From the album VH1 PRESENTS DONNA SUMMER: LIVE AND MORE: ENCORE! (1999). An awesome song. I must have listened to this one at least ten times.

THAT'S THE WAY
Previously unreleased. Great.

DREAM-A-LOT'S THEME (I WILL LIVE FOR LOVE)
Previously unreleased. Great.

Even though I am asking myself, "How many 'Greatest Hits' compilations can someone have?", this compilation is still very amazing, even though the compilation is missing the following: "Spring Affair", "I Remember Yesterday", "Our Love", "Once Upon A Time", "Rumour Has It", "Sunset People", "Cold Love", "Unconditional Love" (performed by Donna Summer & Musical Youth), "There Goes My Baby", "Supernatural Love", "All Systems Go", "I Don't Want To Get Hurt", "Love's About To Change My Heart", "When Love Cries", "Friends Unknown", & "Carry On". But still a great compilation.

Whether with the groundbreaking group Rufus or on her own, Chaka Khan has one of the most distinctive and influential voices in R&B. She's able to wail at full emotive throttle or deliver a love song with nuanced jazz-inflected tones, and sometimes even do both within the same track. This 1996 collection gathers some of Khan's biggest and most beloved solo efforts. Included here are the classic tangy attack of "Ain't Nobody" and the turntable-enhanced smash "I Feel for You" (penned by admirer and recent collaborator Prince). There's also the anthemic original version of "I'm Every Woman," the moody "Through the Fire," and her 1996 collabo with Me'Shell Ndegeocello, "You Never Miss the Water." As all great vocalists do, Khan takes control of every song, breathing fire and life into the words and interpreting them without overpowering their meaning. One listen to Epiphany and it's abundantly clear that, even though she's been AWOL from the charts for a while, Chaka Khan remains a founding mother of soul and funk, armed with a potent voice that can both illuminate and elevate. --Amy Linden

5 out of 5 stars For the first song alone, it's worth it!.......2007-06-15

I must have played, and can verify via iTunes, "Ain't Nobody" at least 50 times since I've gotten this CD. I've missed this song, and it remains my favorite Chaka song. The lead guitar rocks. As a singer, Chaka is first class. Her enunciation and pronunciation is pristine, not the sloppy drivel you hear with today's youngsters. Hear how she sings of "sweet surrenDER", of love warm and "tenDER". Thank you! She sings in ENGLISH, like the best singers do. She reminds me so much of Aretha Franklin in this. I refused to listen to Rufus and other groups because of the exploitative lyrics, but this collection is proof one need not dismiss Chaka Khan as too "street". She has moved beyond Rufus and has matured into a singer of class.

I chose to revisit Ms. Khan when I heard she did an album of standards that was well-received. I don't have that one yet, but I'm definitely encouraged to buy it because of the material on this CD. At $8, it was hardly a big risk. Now I'm hoping Vol. 2 has the other song of hers I'm familiar with and love, her duet with Steve Winwood!

5 out of 5 stars Start your Chaka collection with this.......2007-06-06

This is awesome. I have most of her solo albums as well but most of them are patchy. (I do like the Prince produced "Come 2 My House" album and the 1991 album "The Woman I Am". No tracks from these 2 albums are on this release) There are also some new/bonus tracks which are worthwhile.
Everyone talks about a track which is missing which should have been on the album. Really a double disc release would have been better for Chaka, but you will love this. A double disc would have included tracks from her 1982 self titled album which is super rare, released on CD only in Japan as well as Clouds,and possibly my favorite track from Chaka which appears on the Beverly Hills 90210 soundtrack feat Michael McDonald "Time To Be Lovers". This is easily the best option for a casual fan as it has the main hits on it and even though it's a compilation, it flows very well and doesn't seem dated even though most of the tracks are from the early 80's.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent audio.......2007-05-31

Regardeless of the fact that you might like or not Chaka's performance, the audio is superb and I think it deserves a place in a selected CD inventory.

5 out of 5 stars Such An Enjoyable Album!.......2007-05-11

After listening to every track on this album, I can truly say that the artist has REALLY put her heart into this work of art. Especially great is the track #10, Through The Fire. I highly recommend this album to anyone who enjoys a terrific voice and great instrumentals. It is well worth the cost and the time spent listening...

5 out of 5 stars Chaka...so smooth........2007-03-22

To this day, when I am alone and put THROUGH THE FIRE on....and I crank it....and sit back....she makes me shed tears as I imagine her performance in the studio. She doesn't just sing the song....she becomes the song. Amazing vocal range. I'm a huge fan.

It's easy to dismiss the music of this cute, vegan, bare-pated relative of Herman Melville, especially if you don't actually listen to the music and focus instead on his ultra-PC interview style or the manner in which he sold dozens of songs to commercials and film soundtracks back in Y2K. But to do so is to knee-jerkedly miss out on some very fine and innovative music by one of the most influential musicians of the last decade. With the exception of two tracks (one of them the title tune), Go is a best-of from the years that Moby's been on the V2 label, from 1999's breakthrough hit Play onward. But Play--with its uncanny reworking of field recordings with playful beats and ambient textures--remains the artist's finest moment. A full disc of remixes and a smattering of unreleased songs (including a rad new number with Debbie Harry on guest vocals) make this an essential purchase for rabid fans. And, as a judicious selection of Play-era material is included alongside the finest songs from Moby's subsequent albums, 18 and Hotel, this is also the perfect entry point for the more casual fan. --Mike McGonigal

Album Description

The only definitive greatest hits collection chronicling Moby's entire career. It also features new and previously unreleased material - (1) new single "New York, New York" with Blondie's Debbie Harry (2) two new mixes - including one of "GO," his debut commercial smash (3) a live version of "Feeling So Real." The DELUXE EDITION features an 11-track BONUS remix CD personally compiled by Moby and includes the legendary "Bodyrock" Olav Basoski remix. The deluxe edition tracks are NOT available on ANY Moby full-length CD.

I bought this cd some weeks ago, its a really good cd if you dont know much of mobys work or for people who collect mobys cds. If you do know mobys work and you want something new this will not help, you can buy "new york new york" single cause thats the only new song. And as for the artwork, the cover is nice but the booklets inside pictures are a bit disappointing. Oh well, moby rulez anyway.

5 out of 5 stars Erasure.......2007-03-22

This group has a positive sound. I agree with a previous reviewer that these songs do bring your mood into a positive state. Excellent songs.
I always affiliated good times with this group. I don't know why, but its probably how Erasure presents its music.

3 out of 5 stars 3.5 stars: Good but missing a few songs.......2007-03-04

Erasure is one of my all time favorite pop groups from the 1980s. Their music always cheers me up whenever I am feeling down. The group's first compilation Pop! was the cd that really introduced me to the group. Unfortunately the production is pretty shoddy. Four years ago Mute released another Erasure compilation with better production value. Unfortunately Mute Records left off a considerable amount of Erasure material for a best of compilation. There is no songs off Erasure's self-titled album or "Cowboy", two of my personal favorite Erasure albums. It seems that this compilation as nothing more than to make money off the group. If they relaly cared about the fans, the label would have covered all of the group's past recordings and include some bonus tracks or a dvd. Still I am glad to hear "A Little Respect" and "Oh L'Amour" with better production quality because the orginal versions sounds like crud. If you want to hear your favorite Erasure songs with better production quality, I recommend buying this cd. If you are a serious diehard Erasure fan, don't buy it. It's obvious cash cow for Mute Records.

4 out of 5 stars Good Hits collection..........2006-06-23

But I have "POP!-20 Hits" already and think that was a better representation of why Erasure was so great. Btw, with this new collection having 3 covers of ABBA songs, why doesn't it have their great cover of Blondie's "Heart of Glass"?

So anyway, should you buy this or POP!? I have the solution: backtrack and buy all their cd's in order and experience Erasure to its fullest. Most of their cd's have too many wonderful undiscovered/unheard gems in them.

3 out of 5 stars already did this.......2005-10-31

These songs were already on pop. I still love it for my erasure collection. Its just redundent.

5 out of 5 stars This cd is Great..........2005-09-27

It is filled with lots of up beat songs. I can't stop listening to it. I even work out to it.

4 out of 5 stars collected.......2007-05-26


What can be said about Depeche Mode? They are definitely a major band. They are the only band from the era to stay popular for 25 years and "be new" constantly. They are the only rivals to REM and U2. Those rare bands that constantly do new albums that are interesting and can play large arenas and not seem like a nostalgia act. This "Best Of" collection may not be for the real Depeche Mode fan. They probably have all these tracks. I just saw them for the first time last year, and was thrilled. They came out of the electronic scene that John Foxx, Gary Numan, and New Order created. I don't think it was until "Everything Counts" that Depeche Mode had broken away from the pack. It has been said that they took their music into a dark place in the last 1980s, and they only got more popular. I find myself being attracted to "Shake The Disease" most of all from the early material. It just sound like the most advanced thing they ever did musical, and vocally. I also like "Precious" a lot. This is a cool collection.

What i have to say about Depeche Mode..
Only that its awesome!!!

They've sold over 13million copies of their albums!!
Anyways.. i think this truly does bring out the best of Depeche Mode if u've never heard of them before..

5 out of 5 stars Guaoo!.......2007-05-10

Voy a ser sincero,yo no era fanático de esta banda,los recuerdos que tenía de ellos es de su música ochentosa plagada de sintetizadores,completamente electrónica y en esa época era heavymetalero radical,pero definitivamente el crecimiento se acompaña la madurez y en este caso se abren nuevas tendencias musicales;esta gente es excelente!no estoy seguro si este The Best Of Vol.1 está lo más representativo de este grupo,pero una cosa si es cierta,estoy enganchado al mismo!no conocía su etapa noventosa y me atrevería a decir (con permiso de sus conocedores más acérrimos)que es la mejor etapa del grupo!de mi cabeza no salen la exitante Personal Jesus,el ritmo pegajoso de It's no Good,la desgarradora y poderosa I Feel,la ritmica y nostálgica Enjoy the Silence...también se puede disfrutar de sus éxitos de los ochenta como Just Can't get Enough,Master and Servant...y lo mas reciente Precious,la instrospectiva Dream On,Suffer Well...qué mas puedo decir?Material de primera!yo por mi parte voy a comprarme todos los CD's para saber qué mas me estoy perdiendo,pero este para comenzar es un palo a la cabeza!Nota:la información de los años de las canciones la busqué previamente a la escritura de esta revisión,yo no sabía nada de esta gente...

Pretty much every song on this album is well-done and easy to listen to. My favorites are "Just can't get enough" (a great song from the 80s) and "Enjoy the Silence."

Their music is quite distinct and I listen to them always on long driving trips. This group really knows how to play.

Anyone who is in their 30s to 40s range will most likely enjoy listening to this. However, I think anyone anyone at almost any age might like this CD.
