Cons: None
This is a great collection of Eagles tunes. They leave almost nothing out. For anyone who wants to hear the very best of, this really is! This is the best album they have ever released. Although it is mainly songs from their greatest hits 1 and 2, it still has some songs such as Doolin Dalton, Please Come Home For Christmas, and Ol 55 that are true gems that are not on the greatest hits albums. This is at the utmost level of being highly recommended to anyone who enjoys The Eagles. They are the best band ever and they truly prove it with this great collection of timeless music. ...

Pro Reviews: Very Best of the Eagles [2003 w/Bonus DVD]
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews The problem with assembling an Eagles collection in 2003 is that there already is a perfect Eagles collection: 1976's Their Greatest Hits (19711975). Although it spanned a mere 10 songs and summarized on the first five years and four albums of their career, it pulled off a nifty trick by making the albums it summarized and by extension, the band seem better than they actually were. By concentrating on big hits and substituting album track "Desperado" for "Outlaw Man," a single that didn't receive much chart action, the collection captures the band's peak, making a convincing case for the band's strengths while providing a compulsively enjoyable listen. Of course, the Eagles continued to have hits after the 1976 release of Their Greatest Hits, scoring the biggest proper album of their career that very year with Hotel California. After that, egos and infighting hampered the band, leading to just one more album in 1979's The Long Run before a disbandment in 1982 which was followed 12 years later by a reunion, charmingly dubbed Hell Freezes Over, since most pundits predicted that's when the band would reunite. This isn't much new ground to cover for a compilation, as the spotty 1982 The Eagles Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 illustrated, but even with a box set like 2000's Selected Works, there was room for a collection that contained all their big hits on one or two discs: hence the birth of Warner Strategic Marketing's 2003 doubledisc collection, The Very Best of. There's little question that The Very Best of does its job well, containing nearly all of the group's charting singles including the nonLP seasonal tune "Please Come Home for Christmas," but substituting a live version of "Seven Bridges Road" for the charting studio track, omitting the purposely ignored "Outlaw Man" along with a couple of reunionera singles that didn't make much impact and filling out the margins with albumrock staples, such as "Doolin Dalton," "Ol' 55," "Victim of Love," "In the City" and "Those Shoes." It's a good collection, eliminating the need to own actual Eagles albums by containing all the key songs from each effort, including the highlights from Hell Freezes Over. If there are quibbles, the biggest is that the first disc isn't nearly as compulsively listenable as Their Greatest Hits (19711975), which covers the same ground, with the second being that after Hotel California, the collection runs out of steam a little bit, as the Eagles sound more like a collective of solo performers instead of a band...but that's the run of their career, too. In any case, The Very Best Of is an excellent way to get all the Eagles' songs that matter on one collection. [The Very Best Of was also released as a limitededition threedisc set with the third disc being a bonus DVD containing the video for the new song "Hole in the World," as well as a making of the video featurette and "Backstage Pass to Farewell 1."] Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

Pros: Excellent Songs
Cons: Been There, Bought That.
I'm an Eagles fan tried and true. Have followed them through the good times, the solo times, and the good time yet again when they reunited. Even paid the outrageous ticket prices to see them twice in the Rose Garden. But come on, how many times are we going to buy the same songs repackaged over and over. If I understand the labeling. The best of the Eagles I, II, and III weren't really the best of... cause this one is. But then when I bought the boxed set I thought I'd bought the definitive collection. Hmm.. snookered again. I'm waiting for a promised new album, but haven't seen it yet. I guess I'm supposed to buy yey again a best of collection for one new song? I don't think so.
For anyone born after 1980 this is a nice representative collection of Eagles tunes, for us older folks its the same old stuff in a brand new box. ...
