Time, Love & Tenderness
Artist: Michael Bolton
Community Score: 6.75

Michael Bolton cloned his approach from Soul Provider on its follow-up, Time, Love & Tenderness, and sold as many records for his trouble. (That's six million copies.) His key collaborator once again was Diane Warren, who applied her goldplated gift for writing contemporary love songs to six tunes, among them the hits "Time, Love & Tenderness"... Read More

All-Time Greatest Hits
Artist: Little River Band

All-Time Greatest Hits is a budget-priced, ten-track selection of the Little River Band's best-known material, and in many ways, it functions as a definitive collection for casual fans, since it contains all of the big hits -- "Help Is on Its Way," "Happy Anniversary," "Reminiscing," "Lady," "Lonesome Loser," "Cool Change," "The Night Owls,"...

Greatest Hits 1976-1986
Artist: Elton John
Community Score: 6.33

When Elton John left Geffen for MCA, Greatest Hits, 1976-1986 replaced Greatest Hits, Vol. 3 (1979-1987). The newer collection is a better collection than its predecessor, since it trims the failed single "Heartache All Over the World," which was added as an incentive for hardcore collectors, and "Too Low for Zero," replacing them with "Sorry...

Celine Dion - EPIC
Artist: Celine Dion
Community Score: 7.31

Featuring the hit singles "Beauty and the Beast," "Love Can Move Mountains," and "If You Asked Me To," Celine Dion's self-titled follow-up to her successful American debut is even stronger and more accomplished. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide Read More

Her Greatest Hits
Artist: Belinda Carlisle
Community Score: 10.00

All of Belinda Carlisle's late-'80s pop hits, including "Heaven is a Place on Earth," "Mad About You," and "I Get Weak," available on one disc. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide Read More

A Night on the Town
Artist: Bruce Hornsby & The Range

Bruce Hornsby's hardest-rocking album, A Night on the Town announces that he is heading into a different direction in its first few notes. John Mellencamp's producer Don Gehman gives the sound, especially John Molo's drums, a feel reminiscent of Mellencamp's best work. The material here is among Hornsby's best, and guest players include Jerry... Read More

Garfunkel
Artist: Art Garfunkel

Released in 1990, Garfunkel: Best Of is a good summary of Art Garfunkel's solo career, even if it doesn't feature all of his charting hits. For instance, "I Shall Sing" and "Second Avenue," two Top 40 songs from his first album, are missing, which may irritate some casual fans (as well as completists). Still, this winds up being a very good... Read More

The Greatest Hits (1966-1992)
Artist: Neil Diamond
Community Score: 8.00

Columbia has been Diamond's label since 1973, and it acquired the rights to his Bang material of 1966-1968. But MCA still controls the recordings from 1968-1973. That's why (although you won't find out by reading the album cover) this two-disc, 37-track retrospective consists of the original versions of such hits as "Cherry, Cherry" (1966) and... Read More

A View from 3rd Street
Artist: Jude Cole

Adding a little tougher sound, A View From 3rd Street finds Jude Cole cranking out the tunes that should've been on the radio, but with the exception of the hit "Baby It's Tonight," very few of them were. Great pop well done is what lies here with such standouts as "House Full of Reasons" and "Heart of Blues." The problem was how to market this... Read More

Greatest Hits (Ten Years and Change 1979-1991)
Artist: Starship
Community Score: 7.00

The Mickey Thomas era, half of it is also the Paul Kantner era, the choices reflecting taste ("Stranger" and "Layin' It on the Line" are included) rather than strict chart rankings (hits like "Be My Lady" and "Tomorrow Doesn't Matter Tonight" are missing). ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide Read More
