Although an actual description does not exist as to what songs can comprise a greatest-hits collection, it is generally assumed that the disc will contain the biggest and best-charting singles that have been issued by an artist. So it may seem odd for to release a greatest-hits collection when the group has had just one Top 40 pop singles' hit in their long career; but if you factor in the amount of rock radio airplay given to these songs, then contains, in essence, the greatest hits of. Spanning their 13-year association with the Mercury label, contains 16 of 's best-known songs that have been floating around the rock radio airwaves for years. Arranged chronologically from 1974's -esque 'Working Man,' to 1987's majestic 'Time Stand Still,' this concise, single-disc collection represents during their most productive period. Previous attempts by Mercury to summarize 's career have resulted in a pair of sprawling double-disc collections (1991's, and 1997's two-volume ) that provided too much material for the casual fan.
Trims the excess fat and presents a lean set of songs that showcase all the best elements of: guitar-driven rock ('Fly by Night'), arena rock anthems ('The Spirit of Radio'), social commentaries ('The Trees'), epic sci-fi excursions ('2112 Overture/The Temples of Syrinx'), and bold synth experiments ('Subdivisions'). Along with what is arguably their most enduring classic track, 'Tom Sawyer,' and their biggest pop hit, 'New World Man,' the songs on this compilation have become radio staples that continue to garner airplay decades after their initial release. In that regard, more than qualifies as a greatest-hits package, and provides an excellent overview of one of rock's most successful and innovative bands.

All three members of Rush are masterful musicians and have withstood the test of time. Their songs and concerts are still being thoroughly enjoyed by several generations of Classic Rock music lovers, which I'm proud to be included! Because I'm a longtime Rock drummer wanna-be, Neil Peart is my inspiration and I consider him the best drummer of all time! - Tacoma, WA. Can't go wrong with any Rush CD's This is one of my all time favorite bands. I found them when I was 14 and a friend gave me 2112 as a gift. I instantly fell for their brand of Prog Rock with their almost Si-Fi stile of lyrics.
This CD is a great combination of their greatest hits through the years. Some of my personal favorites were not included because the length of the songs probably wouldn't allow it, but it you are new to Rush then this is a very good introduction to them, and if you know the band and lover the music then this CD will take you back to a simpler time when the most you had to worry about was what to do for the weekend.
