Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers "Greatest Hits" Album Review
Amazon.com
He's sold millions of albums, filled arenas, and hobnobbed with George Harrison, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison, but Tom Petty's driving heartland rock has often been taken for granted by the same critics who hail John Mellencamp as a genius. <I>Greatest Hits</I> is an airtight argument for Petty's own greatness. Starting with "American Girl," the rollicking, Byrds-inspired single from Petty's first album in 1976, this compilation presents a chronological overview of the guitarist-vocalist's career with and without the Heartbreakers, also chronically underrated as one of today's best bands. Every one of the 16 older tracks is a well-crafted gem, full of solid guitar hooks ("Here Comes My Girl"), arresting images ("Don't Come Around Here No More") and simple but poetic lyrics ("The Waiting"). <p> Petty isn't an innovator; he's a talented craftsman with impeccable taste and a strong sense of rock history, internalizing influences ranging from the Beatles' psychedelic masterpiece, <I>Revolver</I>, to the best of '70s punk. (It's interesting to remember that early efforts such as "Refugee" and "Don't Do Me Like That" first won Petty attention as a New Wave artist). With his Dylanesque vocals and chiming 12-string guitars, Petty is more often linked these days with the sounds of the '60s. But recent tunes such as "Learning to Fly" and "Into the Great Wide Open" are as smart, relevant and (dare I say) alternative as anything in MTV's Buzz Bin. <i>--Jim DeRogatis</i>

Neil Young "Greatest Hits" Album Review
Best version of Cinnamon Girl on the Planet still!
Everyone is always trying to new and improve everything. I've heard a few musicians try to redo my favorite Neil Young song, Cinnamon Girl and nobody comes close to the original version. Again, there are moments in time that come together like magic with just the right chemistry and can never be repeated or improved upon. This entire album stands the test of time, simply a master piece.
Video Needle and the Damage Done - Neil Young cover
Needle and the Damage Done - Neil Young cover "The Needle and the Damage Done" is a song by Neil Young that chronicles the descent of musicians he knew into heroin addiction. It was written about the heroin use of (but before the overdose death of) his Crazy Horse guitarist Danny Whitten, and previews the theme of "Tonight's the Night," a song that addresses the heroin overdose and death of Bruce Berry, a roadie for Young and his band Crazy Horse. "The Needle and the Damage Done" first appeared on the Harvest album in 1972. The song was recorded live rather than in the studio. It appears on the compilation albums Decade and Greatest Hits. On the handwritten liner notes included in Decade, Young had this to say about the song: "I am not a preacher, but drugs killed a lot of great men." A recording from 1971 was part of the 2007 album Live at Massey Hall. The album captured Neil's introduction of his song thus: Ever since I left Canada, about five years ago or so.. and moved down south.. found out a lot of things that I didn't know when I left. Some of 'em are good, and some of 'em are bad. Got to see a lot of great musicians before they happened... before they became famous.. y'know, when they were just gigging. Five and six sets a night... things like that. And I got to see a lot of, um , great musicians who nobody ever got to see. For one reason or another. But.. strangely enough, the real good ones... that you never got to see was.. 'cause of, ahhm, heroin. An' that started happening over an' over. Then it happened to someone that everyone knew about. So I just wrote a little song." Bands that covered this song on studio albums include Our Lady Peace, Green River, Duran Duran, Lior, and The Pretenders; the Pretenders lost members to drug-related deaths. Punk rock band The Bronx recorded a cover which can be found as a b-side on the "False Alarm" single. Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante has covered it while on tour in Japan. Alternative metal band Seether covered it during a performance on Last Call with Carson Daly. Cross Canadian Ragweed also covered this song on their 2006 release Back To Tulsa - Live and Loud at Cain's Ballroom. [edit] References in Popular Culture A reference to its title can be found in the song "Understanding in a Car Crash" by Thursday. The title was also used as the album title for the second installment of the Nirvana: Outcesticide bootleg series. Furthermore, it was the inspiration for The Sisters of Mercy's first 7" single, "The Damage Done". "Song To Say Goodbye" by the group Placebo includes the lyrical reference "your needle and your damage done". Episode seven of the fifth season of Will & Grace was titled "The Needle & Omelet's Done". In the episode, Will gets botox for the first time (hence the needle). Grace goes to brunch with her boyfriend, during which she unwittingly meets his parents (hence the omelet).
