Rating:  - * Some Good... Some Slugs ... If you are looking for his hits... you would be better off getting his first two albums... this "best of" is about 1/2 "best of" and 1/2 filler Rating:  - * The Best of Rick Springfield: Has Everything You Would Want ... If you are a Rick Springfield fan, or a least a casual fan of his biggest hits, this is the best compilation I have found. It has all the best hits on it, and the versions you want. The reproduction quality is very good. Highly recommended if you want one album with Springfield's best work. Rating: - * Good 80's fare ... Rick Springfield's early 80's work was very catchy and enjoyable, especially the material from his classic "Working Class Dog" album. As such, this collection of Springfield's hits has some excellent straight-ahead pop-rock like "Jesse's Girl", which is probably the song that he is most remembered for. After his initial success however, he focused more on creating "hits" rather than the same soulful, exciting songs of before. Therefore, his product became more focused on 80's style pop like "Don't Talk to Strangers". The latter material isn't bad, it's just not quite as good as the early stuff. All in all, this collection is the best you will find if you are a casual fan looking for the most complete collection of singles that he realeased. There are, of course, some songs that were released as singles that are missing, but unless you are a hardcore fan, you will be hard-pressed to notice. The remastering quality is excellent, and it is what prompted me to buy this collection instead of the others available. Top-notch collection for casual fans, although you will find that his later style of music to be very different than that which you remember him for. Very enjoyable. Rating: - * Still Ricky's Girl ... Great compilation to have if you are a fan. Rick is an artist who really hasn't been recognized for his complete talent- not just as a dynamic performer and pop culture idol, but as a composer and musician. I've seen him in concert both in the mid-80s and again-twice- when he made the rounds in the last 10 years. He brings the house down, performs like a true rocker, and engages with the fans on a personal level leaving us all wanting more. He should not be seen as merely an 80's icon. His music is still fresh and enjoyable today. This DVD will not disappoint. Rating: - * Something New ... I am thirteen and my mom and dad listen to rick springfield. Me, being an offspring of 2 of the biggest rick fans, love this CD by far. This is an amazing CD, and you can always get the other ones cheap. If you are a fan of ricks this CD is totally for you ;) |
