| Editorial Reviews: | | |  | | This packed double-disc is the slim option for fans who find the Eagles' vaunted greatest hits sets too little and the boxed set too hefty. Hit singles large and medium are here, often ("One of These Nights," "Hotel California") still sounding definitive and even tough. Large helpings of favorite album cuts are also included, along with a taster from a promised 2004 Eagles studio reunion. Unfortunately, "Hole in the World," Don Henley's response to September 11, feels just as empty and entitled as "Get Over It," the band's previous state-of-the-union message (from which the newer song represents a philosophical 180-degree turn). But for those seeking an overview of this Southern California juggernaut's successes, as well as telling comments from band members--mostly Henley and Frey--in a well-designed booklet, Very Best will more than do. --Rickey Wright | |

| At Last ,a true Greatest Hits package | |
| | The Eagles have 2 previously released Greatest Hits packages.
Both of those are very good, but do not include all of their best material.
Songs like James Dean and Doolin Dalton are not included.
This package also includes their best from "Hell freezes Over"
This is the first time they all appear on one CD collection.
The Eagles have always been among the best American groups and have always appealed to Pop, Rock, and Country Music fans.
This CD includes every song that I would want in a Very Best of Collection.....This was long over due.........enjoy
| | Another Great Compilation From The Eagles | |
| | | The Eagles began their mainstream career run in 1972. From there until their break-up in 1982, they continued releasing great albums and great singles for listeners to enjoy, including their most successful "Hotel California". Their success never stopped. Some may be surprised knowing that they lost the Grammy for Best New Artist of 1972 to America. However, the legendary music continues living more intensely. "The Very Best of The Eagles" is a great compilation album that presents fans new and old their successes. The variety of musical genres proves that The Eagles mastered music fluently: rock, pop, and country. Regardless which is accented most, the songs were always written beautifully. They speak to a variety of listeners. Every song has its own unique flavor that keeps listeners in joy. The song quality remains through the switching of lead singers. Their ballads remain beautiful, and their upbeat songs remain fun for dancing. This album compilation presents how they evolved as a band through their historical run, even through the occassional line-up change. The evolution proves to continue through two reunions: 1994 and 2003. Through these greatest hits, they recorded a new single specially for this album, the Grammy-nominated "Hole In the World". This is a great commemoration of the events in 9/11. It was written and performed beautifully. Don Henley sings the lyrics expressively. "The Very Best of The Eagles" is a great album that will surely please many listeners. This is one of the few albums that contains all of The Eagles's greatest hits.
| | | it would be difficult to find a better collection of songs than what feature in this delightful compilation containing hits like desperado,tequila sunrise,hotel california lyin eyes and take it to the limit.please go and buy this masterpiece and freak out and very soon it will be among your favourites.very very highly recommended.
| | Excellent Eagles overview | |
| | In October of 2003, The Eagles became the latest addition of great bands from the 1970s to get their own 2 - disc best of collection entitled The Very Best of The Eagles. The Eagles' set comes in the wake of other rock acts' 2-disc best ofs like Pink Floyd(Echoes), Queen(The Platinum Collection 3 discs), The Rolling Stones(40 Licks), Black Sabbath(Symptom of the Universe) and The Who(The Ultimate Collection) as examples. Disc 1 of this Eagles best of covers the cream of the crop of their early years from 1971-75 with one from 1976. The whole Greatest Hits Vol. 1 disc is on disc one with classics like Take It Easy, Witchy Woman, Peaceful Easy Feeling, Tequila Sunrise, Desperado, Already Gone, Best Of My Love, One Of These Nights, Lyin' Eyes and Take It To The Limit. Also two songs from the second volume close this disc After the Thrill is Gone and Hotel California. There are also great forgotten gems on disc one like On the Border, Ol' 55 among others. Disc 2 picks up with more from hits. First, there's the hard rocking Top 15 hit Life In The Fast Lane, the Top 30 Seven Bridges Road, Victim of Love(a hard rocking album cut), the Top 10 hits I Can't Tell You Why and The Long Run, and the #1's Heartache Tonight and New Kid in Town. Then there are some more album tracks like Wasted Time, The Last Resort and In the City among others. Also, this collection features the album debut of the band's 1978 Christmas hit Please Come Home for Christmas. In 1994, the band reunited and scored two more hits, the pretty Love Will Keep Us Alive and the hard rocker Get Over It. Finally, the collection ends with the new ballad the stirring Hole In The World. The song is great and is one of the major reasons why I bought this album. When this best of came out, it peaked at #3 and two million immediately showing that The Eagles are still popular, even today. If you want both greatest hits albums, buy this because it is a) cheaper b) extra songs not on the two hits albums and c) the sound is incredible. Highly recommended!
| | Where's "Life's Been Good" ??? | |
| | Not a bad selection of great Eagles songs, but how do you offer up 33 tracks and not include "Life's Been Good" ??? I took delivery of this cd earlier this week and immediately had to go to iTunes to download this compilation's one glaring omission. Was this Henley's decision? Frey? Skip the "new" stuff, or oldies like "James Dean,""Ol'55" and "Midnight Flyer" on next year's definitive compilation, OK?
