This 2013 collection from venerable, German metal outfit Accept, led by the inimitable Udo Dirkschneider begins, appropriately, with their biggest hit, 1984's "Balls to the Wall," a true heavy metal anthem. Despite having an impressive track record of material that extends well into the 21st century, the remaining tracks on Playlist: The Very Best of Accept are all culled from the group's golden age, with highlights coming from live staples like "Fast as a Shark," "London Leatherboys," "Metal Heart," and "Restless and Wild."

This two-CD set collects most of Celine Dion's essential recordings from her pre-superstar years, when she was a very young French singer, popular in Canada and France. This set starts with the heavily synthesized Euro pop of the 1988 Eurovision contest winner "Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi," which was the song that introduced the singer to international audiences, and is something of a milestone in her career. Many of the songs on this set are fair, and differ from the processed teen pop of the late 1990s because of the ever-present sincerity in Dion's voice. Highlights include the elegant ballads "Tellement J'ai D'amour Pour Toi," "Benjamin," and "La Voix Du Bon Dieu"; the shimmering "Avec Toi" and "Du Soleil Au Coeur"; and the anthemic "C'est Pour Vivre."

This Playlist compilation provides a rather flawed but OK single-disc overview of Donna Summer's career. It's missing only three of the singers Top Ten Billboard Hot 100 hits: "The Wanderer," "Heaven Knows," and "Love Is in Control (Finger on the Trigger)." The landmark number one disco single "Love to Love You Baby" is missing as well. While it does contain several classics, like "Hot Stuff," "I Feel Love," "On the Radio," and "She Works Hard for the Money," the deeper cuts seem like random selections, and those spaces could have been put to better, casual-fan-friendly use. -AllMusic review by Andy Kellman

James Joseph Croc was an American folk and rock singer-songwriter. Between 1966 and 1973, he released five studio albums and numerous singles. During this period, Croce took a series of odd jobs to pay bills while he continued to write, record, and perform concerts. After he formed a partnership with songwriter and guitarist Maury Muehleisen, his fortunes turned in the early 1970s. His breakthrough came in 1972; his third album, You Don't Mess Around with Jim, produced three charting singles, including "Time in a Bottle", which reached No. 1 after his death. The follow-up album, Life and Times, included the song "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown", which was the only No. 1 hit he had during his lifetime.

Playlist: The Very Best of Quiet Riot features 15 tracks defined on the back jacket as "the life-changing songs, the out-of-print tracks, the hits, the fan favorites everyone loves, and the songs that make the artists who they are." While it may boast little in the way of rare, live, unreleased, or "out-of-print" material, it certainly eclipses 1996's Greatest Hits collection as the most listenable Quiet Riot overview on the market. All 14 tracks (15 is a CD-ROM cut) are culled from the group's three biggest albums – Metal Health (1983), Condition Critical (1984), and QR III (1986) – and while many listeners may only know the group's breakout hit, a cover of Slade's "Cum on Feel the Noize," the band consistently turned out its own quality pop-metal during its mid-'80s heydays.

There are few images as riveting as Roy Orbison standing completely motionless at the microphone in his trademark dark shades as he climbs the notes of one of his haunting, operatic pop songs, sounding for all the world like an angel stranded on earth and yearning to get back home. From his first recordings in the mid-'50s for Sun Records through his unlikely comeback in the late '80s, Orbison never lost an inch of his astounding vocal range or his knack for writing concise and emotionally nuanced pop ballads that seemed for all the world like mini-operas. This 14-track (there's a 15th CD-R track as well) offers key sides taken from all phases of his career, including samples from his brilliant '60s output ("Oh, Pretty Woman," "Only the Lonely," "Blue Bayou," "It's Over," "Crying") and cuts from his 1989 Mystery Girl album like the well-written and sung "She's a Mystery to Me." It doesn't go deep into Orbison's catalog, but it's perfect for casual listeners looking for a condensed and succinct look at his long career.

Playlist: The Very Best of Earth, Wind & Fire focuses on the group’s peak mid-‘70s to early-‘80s years. It features most of EW&F's Top Ten R&B hits; it’s missing “Mighty Mighty,” “Kalimba Story,” “Got to Get You into My Life,” and “Let Me Talk.” This is an adequate option for those who want the biggest hits and nothing else, but the EW&F catalog is so deep that serious soul fans should strongly consider a more extensive overview, such as the two-disc The Essential Earth, Wind & Fire, released in 2002. -AllMusic Review by Andy Kellman
