Best ever!
All songs are brilliant! I would recommend to anyone with ears. This CD set includes his most hauntingly beautiful songs.


Superb Compilation
This is an excellent compilation from most of his career and includes all of his hits. Despite his links with the Beatles, Nilsson reminds me of Brian Wilson -- great singer with a gift for beautiful melodies and a love of whimsy, with a touch of alienation. His main obsessions seem to have been romance, not being a morning person, and covering great songs. He also wrote a great ode to the greatest piece of furniture other than the bed!.


For Everybody Who Loves Harry
Even if you have never heard the remarkable range, color and expression embodied in this one man's voice, you will instantly detect it. I bought this CD after a conversation with one of the men who was key to its production, and have been happily remembering the magic that was Harry Nilsson ever since. So sad to have lost him at such an early age.

I love Harry - and always will. Thanks to this CD, there is so much more of him to listen to.


The Harry Nilsson Anthology
A couple of great songs in there you just have to listen to a great voice singing some crap ones as well.


Very Excellent Harry.
This collection of songs is excellent a must have in any rock collection. To me listening to Harry Nilsson, is like listening to an old friend and a warm fuzzy blanket that makes you feel warm inside, except for the kiss off song: You're Breakin My Heart which is a prickly pair song, which makes the Ballad Of John And Yoko seem tame in comparison with free use of F-word in it. I was pleasantly surprised by how wonderful the sound of recording was, I have no idea what that guy was talking about it being ok, it was incredible. There no real words to put into except I would say this compilation of Harry Nilsson songs hooks you and takes you a journey that after it's over you want to take it again. Wonderfully crafted songs that tell a story in each one. I can say this about Harry Nilsson he isn't boring. A lot of the songs I listen to, I went huh I know that one and that one and didn't know he wrote that one I didn't know I was listening or singing Nilsson like songs like One or Coconut, Girlfriend Amazing it blew my mind. What an Underrated Wonderfully Gifted Singer- Songwriter with a great sense of humor and voice. Eat your heart out Mariah.

Rip Harry.
