Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band - Greatest Hits (CD)

All Music Guide

For over 20 years, Bob Seger was one of the best mainstream rock rollers in America, developing a distinctive body of honest, hardrocking songs. More songs than can be put on this singledisc set, unfortunately. While many of Seger's trademarks are here "Turn the Page," "Old Time Rock Roll," "Night Moves" there is no "Rock and Roll Never Forgets," "Katmandu," "Shame on the Moon," or any of his pulverizing early records, when he was as tough as fellow Michigan rockers the MC5 and the Stooges; this is one time when a doubledisc set would have held enough quality material. Nevertheless, what is here is fine and contains enough firstrate material to satisfy most fans.
