Somehwat good/but not the best
There are a few decent tunes, but he has done better on other efforts. Mick has written & performed much better than this compilation, in my opinion. Still love him though, always will. . . . just because he is MICK, I figured 3/5.


Never been a big Stones fan, but Jagger solo really Rocks, WOW!!!
Sure, they're also from England, appeared publcily as part of the massive Rock'n'Roll phenomenon almost at the same time the Beatles did, have been going around for more than forty years, have recorded a lot of albums (studio/live), appeared on lot of TV shows. Even when I consider myself a very selective Rock Music listener, I cannot say that I got specially seduced for the music of the Rolling Stones. . . Now, even the great movie director Martin Scorcese has released "Shine A Light", a documentary based on their mega-tour "A Bigger Bang".

Okay, sure all that gives lumber enough to consider them as another "Big Brit Music Creature". But certainly, I must admit that the Stones would have mean nothing in the R'n'R universe, without having such a real good Rock'n'Roll singer/frontman like Mick Jagger.

Get this CD, and you'll discover why. Ah, but previously please clean up from your mind, the general idea that MJ's hits are limited to a funny cover of "Dancing in the Street" he performed with David Bowie. MJ is by himself, really, a GOOD Rock singer.
After listening to this album, I regret myself for not having followed Mick's musical career more thoroughly.
The sound quality is really good, as it happens with most of WEA recordings. .


Too much filler, considering it's missing at least 2 hit singles
But considering Jagger really hasn't had a whole albums' worth of solo hits, it's inexcusable to leave off two of the best: "Hard Woman" is probably his best solo record, and it had that cool computer-animated video that probably helped make it a HIT. OK, maybe "filler" is too strong a word, as none of these tracks are really bad. And 1987's "Throwaway" didn't make quite such a splash, but it was a charting single and certainly doesn't deserve (sorry) to be thrown away.

The title song to the film "Ruthless People" was never a single, but it was a great, funny song, and I would easily rank it higher than half the songs here. But apparently Jagger himself hand-picked the songs for this album. So I guess he doesn't really care for these songs that I really like (and I'm sure I'm not alone here).

Just buy the solo albums. . . it's not like there's that many of them.

Pure pablum
The dreadful duet with David Bowie was probably the worst teaming of two singers ever. Mick Jagger is a legend as lead singer of The Rolling Stones, but as a solo artist he is totally forgettable. Nothing else on here amounts to much either. Buy a Rolling Stones album, any one from the 1960s, and you will be far more entertained. These tracks are lousy. .


Missing so many good tracks...even though rarities are welcome
Where's "Use Me", "Turn the Girl Loose", "Lonely at the Top", "Running Out of Luck", "She's the Boss", "Goddess in the Doorway", "Radio Control", "Shoot Off Your Mouth", "Throwaway", "Ruthless People" or even "I'm Ringing" (rare b-side unreleased to CD)?. I burned my own copy of what I felt was the very best of Mick Jagger years ago and found that the actual collection leaves off a lot of stuff that's in some cases superior to what's on the album.
