306. Scorpions / Best. 1999. 4.5/5

“Best” is such a subjective term. What one person calls ‘best’, another calls ‘dogmeat’.

This is a best of compilation of Scorpions. With a band like Scorpions, you can’t really go wrong. Generally it is the quality of the songs left off that is of more concern than those found on the album.
This is a great collection. “Loving You Sunday Morning”, “Rock You Like A Hurricane”, “Is There Anybody There”, “Send Me An Angel”, “Another Piece Of Meat”, “In Trance”, “Still Loving You”… the list goes on. Most impressive is the addition of the extremely Black Sabbath-sounding “I’m Going Mad”, which isn’t played very often. A great number to have on board.

If you are looking for an album to get your first taste of this great band, this is worth purchasing.

Rating: Great stuff from a great band. 4.5/5.
