JOHN MELLENCAMP GREATEST HITS I HAVE NOT HAD ANY RESPONSE FROM
AMAZON OR THE BUSINESS THAT IT WAS OUTSOURCED TO. I ORDERED AND THE MONEY WAS TAKEN FROM MY CREDIT CARD AND TO DAY MARCH 3
2009 HAVE NOT RECEIVED THIS CD.

John Mellencamp at his best
It had all of the songs I wanted. I was very happy with this cd. .
Confused
I love some of his singles, like Cherry Bomb - what a cool song. This guy just confuses me. I bought this collection having never owned any of his albums/CDs. If I put this on to listen to, in about 15 minutes I am aggravated. There is something grating about his voice or something. I also have never liked his political adventures or social commentaries. I mean I know Farm-Aid was cool, but his constant harping about injustice and even the big deal over his name and how the industry tried to eat him up aggravates me. Even the fact that he scribbled all over his Gibson acoustic aggravates me. His image seems so contrived, the torn bluejeans small town crap. He is the best example I can think of where if he just stuck to the music and I didn't know all this other stuff, I would be OK. Like I said, he confuses me but he has made some good music and really has gone the distance and is no "one album wonder" so for that I give him three stars. This collection has all the good ones from what I can tell and it is probably made for "fans" like me who just want the singles and not all the other baggage. .
JC Mellencamp Greatest hits--words & music
This item contains 2 cds and a bonus dvd--complete words plus music of JC Mellencamp's greatest hits--what a good deal! .
How about a Greatest Hits DVD??
How about a seperate hits dvd like U2's 18 or a more generous bonus dvd like the one included in the latest Stevie Nicks greatest hits or the Robert Plant box set. Mellencamp has alot of great videos for his hits but the bonus dvd here only has 5 videos. Now those are well-made greatest hits dvds to get excited about.
