Good stings from the german band
I was never a huge Scorpions fan but I did like them, and the fact is they have many really [. . ] songs. This collection is one you should own if you like 80's hard rock. The only thing missing is a good live version of Rock you like a Hurricane, but is wishful thinking. Anyway get it and enjoy it.


Not without Uli
That's the truth and there's no denying it. The Scorpions isn't the Scorpions without Uli Roth. True fans will know what I'm talking about. If you don't, get yourself Virgin Killer and listen to Hell Cat or Polar Nights which is the Tokyo Tapes version on the remaster. Don't watse your time with this garbage. It's like listening to Johnny Cash stuff that's post Sun Records. . . . . . . garbage music. Don't jump off the bridge with your buddies. Figure out what great music is and enjoy it.


great band!
I've been trying to replace all my old albums. . with CD, and getting the great bands first!.


Scorpions for the Housewife set.
Often categorized as a Hair or Glam band of the 80s, Scorpions were actually one of the most influential of Metal acts and did rock very hard for many years with several albums under there belt. It's compilations like this that give bands like this a bad name. The 70s had been a golden period for the band, particularly with ace guitarist, Uli Jon Roth, whose Hendrix inspired soloing and gothic riffing gave much depth to the material.
Albums like "Virgin Killer' and "Taken by Force" are essential parts of any Hard Rock collection. Even after Roth left good albums were still being made including Lovedrive(with UFO'S Michael Schenker guesting on guitar) and the classic Metal of "Animal Magnetism" and "Blackout".

The band has given alot to the genre but is generally known for there period post-1983 and the release of "Love at First Sting" which featured there biggest hit in the form of classic riffster, "Rock You Like a Huricane".
Not surprisingly that opens this greatest hit followed by 70s track, "Loving You Sunday Morning". That's also the LAST of the 70s tracks, the rest devoted to generally weak ballads and wimpy rockers. It's nice to see classics like the heavy, "The Zoo", "Blackout", "Still Loving You" and "No One Like You", but after the first half dozen or so tracks, nearly everything else is syrupy, bubblegum rock from a band out of ideas. The band has made better and HEAVIER music, trust me. So do not take this as just your only link to the band if you wish to learn more about them, instead skip it.
The title should have read "Good for Bad" because after those first few classics, that's exactly what this collection is.

Note:
Ten tracks that should have been here:
Sails of Charon
Virgin Killer
Dark Lady
He's a Woman, She's a Man
Dynamite!
Lovedrive
Another Piece of Meat
Lady Starlight
Animal Magnetism
Twentieth Century Man.
