348. Scorpions / Deadly Sting. 1995. 4.5/5

Bring it on! Another best of collection for the Scorpions! And just in case you don’t think you can fit everything onto one album – we’ll make it a double disc!!

OK, so it’s the record companies who put these out constantly, not the band. And in retrospect it probably wasn’t such a bad move considering the success of Crazy World and in particular the single “Wind of Change”, which brought a whole new fan base to the band that probably hadn’t experienced all the great stuff they had released before that.
As for the tracklist, you can’t fault it. As a greatest hits release, it is top notch.

Rating: For the very best of the Scorpions, this is where to come. 4.5/5.
