Cons: There are none.
Every single track on this album is a constant reminder as to why you love The Grateful Dead. A nostalgic back track to some of the most loved songs written by Garcia and his merry men. Sugar Magnolia, Eyes of the World, Touch of Grey, Friend of the Devil, Box of Rain, Truckin...to name a few...there is no wonder why this band has been an inspiration for so many of the jam bands that have followed in their hallowed footsteps. The mellow sounds of The Grateful Dead have been some of my favorites for a long time and have yet to be surpassed by any bands. Which proves why The Grateful Dead are a band that was made to stand the test of time. ...

Pro Reviews: Very Best of the Grateful Dead
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews It only seems like there has been an endless stream of Grateful Dead compilations. In reality, there has only been a handful, and the most notable of those were released while the band was still an active recording and touring unit in the '70s -- and before they had belated chart success in the late '80s, 20 years after their debut album. So, Warner/Rhino's 2003 collection The Very Best of the Grateful Dead marks the first attempt to do a thorough single-disc overview of the group's career, encompassing not just their classic Warner albums but also the records they cut for their own Grateful Dead/UA and Arista. As always with the Dead, it's hard to condense the band's free-ranging, freewheeling output onto one disc, and there are some big songs and concert staples MIA here, including the perennial "Dark Star," "Jack Straw," "Black Peter," "Stella Blue," "Brokedown Palace," "Playing in the Band," "Wharf Rat," and "Terrapin Station." They are missed, some more than others, but the 17 tracks here do present nearly all sides of the Dead while hitting their biggest songs: "Truckin'," "Touch of Grey," "Sugar Magnolia," "Casey Jones," "Friend of the Devil," "Uncle John's Band," "Box of Rain," and "Ripple." As that list proves, this is a set that leans heavily on the twin peaks of Workingman's Dead and American Beauty, but there's a reason why those two are beloved of Deadheads and casual fans alike: the classic songs are there. They're also here, along with other staples like "The Golden Road," "One More Saturday Night," "Estimated Prophet," "Eyes of the World," and "U.S. Blues," which may not be as well-known to the general populace but help fill in the picture and provide a good portrait of the band. The collection would have been better if sequenced a little more chronologically, but nevertheless it provides a first-class introduction to a band whose catalog can often seem a little unwieldy. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

Pros: Great songs, and my favorites are all in an order, gotta dig it man
Cons: Just my least favorite song (1 song)
I'm only eleven but I really liked this CD. Some of the more sweet pop songs they could of gotten rid of like 'BOX OF RAIN' but they put in some really good one's like Sugar Magnolia, Casey Jones, Touch Of Grey, Trukin'.
Overall I dig this CD.
