Elvis will always be the greatest singer of all time..... I am 16 years old and I was raised by my grandparents so they introduced me to stars such as elvis, john wayne, dean martin, frank sinatra, etc.... I will always remain a number 1 fan.

Pro Reviews: 2nd to None
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews 2nd to None is the sequel to 2002's 30 1 Hits, itself an attempt to gather Elvis' biggest number one hits on one disc which is quite a bit different than all of his number one hits. Elvis simply had too many charttoppers to fit on one disc, particularly because their definition of "number one hit" was allinclusive, spanning the globe and Billboard alike, so there were a lot of really good number one hits left behind, not to mention all the great singles including all of his Sun rockabilly sides that didn't climb their way to number one. So, it was hardly a complete collection, thereby making a companion volume like 2nd to None welcome. The only problem is, what is the criteria for this collection? Is it the number one hits that didn't make it to 30 1 Hits? The singles that made it to number two? Other Top Ten hits? Or album tracks? All are reasonable approaches to a collection, but what the compilers have done with 2nd to None is borrow a little bit from all these approaches, winding up with a reasonably enjoyable hodgepodge of hits and anthems from his entire career. Again, the attempt to present number one hits from all countries and all charts creates more problems than it solves, raising questions like why is the lousy kitsch artifact "RockaHula Baby" here instead of better singles from either earlier or later in his career? The answer? It reached number one in the U.K. Similarly, the Sunera "I Forgot to Remember to Forget" is here instead of "Good Rocking Tonight" or "Baby Let's Play House" because it hit number one on the country charts. When the chart positions buried in the liner notes are examined, some of the questions are answered, but not all if this is truly supposed to be a companion introduction, showcasing Elvis at his best throughout the career, why do the compilers favor schlock to rock, choosing songs like "If I Can Dream" and "Memories," which are neither big hits nor emblematic? This instinct that pulls 2nd to None toward the middle of the road is puzzling and mildly irksome, resulting in an uneven collection, but at 30 tracks including two "bonus tracks": a previously unreleased "I'm a Roustabout," which is fine but not remarkable, and Paul Oakenfold's clubtastic remix of "Rubberneckin'," an attempt to recreate the excitement of JXL's 2002 hit remix of "A Little Less Conversation" that only points out how good the previous hit was (sidenote: how are these two songs "bonus tracks" if 2nd to None has only been issued as a 30track collection?) it can be easy to forgive the missteps, since much of the record consists of music that is nothing less than terrific. Nevertheless, no matter how much good music both this and 30 1 Hits offer, it's hard not to think that the excution on them could have been much better.

Pros: sound is crystal clear
Cons: none
I knew these were great songs because I've heard them all before, many times. But the sound of this CD is incredible! The songs are so much clearer than I ever expected to hear them. Elvis' voice sounds like it's immediately in front of you, which is much better than it being buried in the instrumentation.
Even if you have all these songs already, it's worth buying this CD because of the sound alone.
The liner notes are pretty good. It's always fun to read the chart positions of each song, in both the U.S. and the U.K.
Favorites are "That's All Right", "Little Sister", "If I Can Dream", "Don't Cry Daddy", "Kentucky Rain". ...
