Donovan's Greatest Hits
»rank: 1377
0ur Review: :Greatest Hits is the budget option for those who've concluded that two discs of Donovan is a disc too many and zero is one too few. Troubadour, Sony's 1992 Donovan box set, boasts nearly three times the tracks this 15-song single-disc retrospective offers, but Greatest Hits delivers what it promises: 'Colours' and 'Catch the Wind' from his folkie phase and 'Mellow Yellow,' 'Sunshine Superman,' and 'Wear Your Love Like Heaven' from the lad's best-pal-a-flower-ever-had period. Also included ...

Blood on the Tracks
»rank: 953
0ur Review: :lnevitably, when critics praise a new Dylan album, they label it the 'best since Blood on the Tracks,' and with good reason. lnspired by a crumbled marriage, and recorded after a tour with the Band had apparently re-ignited his creativity, Blood is among Dylan's masterpieces. The album's epic songs are well known, but its real high points are the shorter numbers--'You're a Big Girl Now,' the flawless blues 'Meet Me in the Morning,' and the sweetly devastating ...

Essential Leonard Cohen
»rank: 786
0ur Review: :This two-disc retrospective traces the Canadian bard's musical maturity from poet and novelist who sang a little to multidimensional artist whose oracular vocals and increasingly rich arrangements are every bit as compelling as his verse. Even when Cohen came to prominence through the 196Os songcraft of 'Suzanne' and 'Bird on a Wire,' the 'folksinger' tag never really fit. Later highlights ranging from the deadpan drollery of 'Tower of Song' and 'Everybody Knows' to the apocalyptic anthemry of ...

Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits
»rank: 1062
0ur Review: :Then a holding action while Dylan unloaded his head after his May 1966 motorcycle crash, now a nostalgia merit badge for boomers and a course in Dylan 1O1 for '9Os newcomers, Greatest Hits stands up remarkably well as a listening experience. Smartly programmed to ride all over any residual worries about acoustic-vs.-electric authenticity--in fact, blowing a raspberry in their face by opening with the Salvation-Army-band blast of 'Rainy Day Women #12 and 35'--this best-of stacks AM smashes ...
