The Very Best of Thunder is a career spanning three CD set, with over three and a half hours of hits, b-sides, classic album
tracks, rarities and live favourites–recorded between 1989-2008–from the dynamic and prolific British hard rock band, formed in 1989.
Compiled in association with Thunder themselves, discs one and two include material from their classic albums, while the third disc
contains the entire legendary Donnington Monsters of Rock performance, which cemented their place in the hearts of British rock fans.
Thunder's career in rock spanned twenty years, and after twenty top-50 singles and 9 studio albums, this collection provides a great
insight into one of the biggest and best rock bands of all time.
Clocking in at 79 minutes and 55 seconds, the Scorpions have yet another greatest-hits compilation, this 2002 release on Hip-O entitled Bad for Good: The Very Best of the Scorpions…
This is a wonderful tribute to one of the best rock bands ever to come out of the UK. It features the best of Def Leppard video's from the early eighties to the present day. For mature rock fans it's a terrific trip down memory lane…
Like 2005's Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection, 2018's The Story So Far: The Best of Def Leppard spans 35 songs spread over two discs. Since this is a basic hits collection, that means there is considerable overlap between the two compilations: a grand total of 20 tracks, with the remaining 15 largely dedicated to deep cuts, along with a new cover of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus." On the whole, The Story So Far doesn't necessarily best Rock of Ages, but it's not worse, either. The difference between the two compilations is on the margins, with the album cuts on both proving that Def Leppard delivered plenty of excellent music that wasn't always hits.
Best of Rare Cult, the companion piece to the Cult's expansive box set Rare Cult, features an interesting collection of rarities, unreleased material, B-sides, studio experiments, and just plain throwaways. If you're just an average fan or a curiosity seeker, the Best of Rare Cult single CD will do just fine…
