Status Quo - Greatest Hits And More (2CD) (1999)

Status Quo is, undoubtedly one of the most important rock bands of seventies and eighties. And they are still making music. 

This album contains most of their best songs. Album quality is pretty high.

Status Quo - Greatest Hits And More is a 1999 compilation (often found as a 2-CD set) gathering hits from the PYE-period, along with later hits and live recordings. 

It serves as a comprehensive overview of the band's boogie-rock style, featuring classics like "Caroline" and "Whatever You Want" alongside various covers. 

The compilation is often praised for covering the "classic" Quo era while adding valuable live recordings that showcase their energy.

Fans often find these types of collections valuable for bringing together disparate eras of the band's long career.

Similar collections (like XS All Areas) are often lauded for their "rockin'" charm, though sometimes criticized for an over-reliance on covers, with "The Wanderer" and "The Anniversary Waltz" sometimes singled out by critics as weaker additions compared to their original anthems.

It is regarded as a good, comprehensive sampler for those looking for a broad, rather than strictly chronological, overview of Status Quo's sound.

Cheap Trick - The Greatest Hits (1991)

Cheap Trick is an American rock band formed in Rockford, Illinois, in 1973. 

The band's work bridged elements of 1960s guitar pop, 1970s hard rock, and the emerging punk rock sound, and helped set the template for subsequent power pop artists.

The Greatest Hits is the first compilation album by Cheap Trick. It contains many of Cheap Trick's popular songs, as well as a previously unreleased cover version of The Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour", which according to the liner notes, was an outtake from the Lap of Luxury album. 

There's (obviously) good stuff on here- in their prime (the late 70s and early 80s), Cheap Trick were possibly the best power pop/pop-rock group in the USA, with their only serious competition being the Cars; "I Want You to Want Me," "Surrender," "Dream Police," and "Voices" are all killers.

But the selection is pretty haphazard- there's nothing at all from the band's first two (very good) albums; one of the band's hits ("Ghost Town") is actually MIA; and, frankly, the more-recent stuff just isn't as good- "The Flame" was Cheap Trick's biggest hit (their only #1), but it sucks, and so does its cousin "Can't Stop Fallin' Into Love." 

The only unique track is a cover of "Magical Mystery Tour"- obviously the Beatles were a major influence on the band, but "Magical Mystery Tour" is hardly a standout track, and Cheap Trick's attempt to inject some mystique into it (drawing out the instrumental coda, dropping in a sample from the bridge of "I Am the Walrus") doesn't really work.

Though it peaked at only #174 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, it remained a steady seller, and was certified platinum for one million U.S. shipments seven years after its release.
