Get them as a pair

"It took almost ten years to happen, but Bob Seger finally gathered a second set of hits on CD to complete the original, 1994 set. "Greatest Hits Volume 2" puts a pair of his highest charting songs (the number 1 "Shakedown" and the number 2 "Shame On The Moon") in with several non-album songs like "Chances Are" and "Understanding." It also goes back to "Beautiful Loser" for a pair of songs.
Since his big three are "Night Moves," "Stranger in Town" and "Against The Wind," the lion's portion of this disc is drawn from those CD's. Any aficionado of classic rock radio is going to know most of these by heart. Seger knew how to lay down solid rocking/driving sounds, with "Rock and Roll Never Forgets" being a terrific example. he also became a first class balladeer as time went on, evidenced here by "Fire Lake" or "Tryin' To Live My Live Without You."
However, you still need "Like a Rock," "Night Moves," and, of course "Old Time Rock and Roll" among others to get the complete set. So while I can fully recommend this first volume of Bob Seger's best, you really need to get this and first Greatest Hits along with it."
Gremlin laden CD!!!

"I bought both volumes of this greatest hits collection from Bob Seger. They truly have a maniacal demon-life of their own. For some reason, neither of them will allow downloads of the jacket art to either Itunes, Windows Media Player or Media Monkey. I have tried every conceivable art download option available online and...poof...album art pops in and then pops away. Spooky. As well, the second one magically transformed into some concert video and I was never able to get to the list of songs. Buyer beware!"
