"The best of "Great White" is exactly that!!!!! I wish I had bought it long ago. "Old Rose Motel," "Rock Me," and "Save Your Love" are the best from this collection. I'd like to know why the didn't include "The Angel Song" from "Twice Shy." All of their albums are pretty good, and this one is the best of the best!!!"

Great White, Best of....This can only be part of many more

"It's rare today to find music that's both powerful and intelligible. Great White are one of the most under-rated bands that helped shape the "metal" sound of the 80's who are still serving up new albums in the 90's, to be enjoyed in the auditory "pallet," much like a very fine wine, and bringing to the forefront of my own music collection a west coast sound that differs from all the rest. Treat yourself to powerful rockers, and mellow rock-ballads. As evidenced by their staying power in the music scene, Great White will surely catch up on the songs they missed in this collection with a follow-up "Best Of II," and, if not, well... This collection is an excellent choice for the half-hearted fan, you know, those not really sure if it's cool to like Great White. TRUST ME, IT'S COOL TO LIKE 'EM. They truly are Great. Thanks Guys..."

A Great Start

"This was the first Great White cd I bought and it got me hooked on the band. If you don't have any of their stuff this would be a great album to start with. A lot of great songs. Of course, you may want to check out their other stuff as well. You just can't go wrong with this band."

Great White = One great, underated hard rock 80's group!

"Let me just say how much of a Great White fan i am. While many people say that Whitesnake was the 80's incarnation of Led Zeppelin, i disagree and say that Great White was Zeppelin reincarnated with great blues based rock that still holds up till this day. It is unfair to call them a hair band because they were part of putting Southern California rock on the map. Led by the awesome vocals of Jack Russell, truly one great vocalist who mixes Robert Plant's falsetto with Ian Gillinas's powerhouse delivery just perfect. Not to mention a great back up band that includes Mark Kendall on guitar, Michael Lardie on piano, and Audie Desbrow on drums. They still rock to this day. This collection is packed with hard hitting anthems " Step On You", "Big Goodbye", a redone version of "Face the Day" , and the classic "Once Bitten, Twice Shy". Also, contains the great ballads such as " House of Broken Love", "Afterglow", "Rock Me", and "Save all your Love". A great compilation from start to finish, and truly one hell of a band. This is one shark that packs one hell of a bite."

Excellent

"The beauty of this album is that it isn't "Once Bitten Twice Shy" from beginning to end. In fact, OBTS is my LEAST favorite on the album, which is saying a lot since I do like the song. This album showcases the Great White that radio didn't or won't play. If you like hard rock ballads and flat-out hard rockers, all with more than a hint of blues, then you will love this album. "Rock Me" in itself is worth the price. Seriously. This was my first GW album, purchased in 1993, and I have since bought all of their others. This is a great intro, but be prepared to buy other GW after you give this album a listen. Listening hint: When playing "Rock Me" and "Face the Day", TURN IT UP!"
