Editorial Review:
His first ever CD greatest-hits collection, Neil Young's Greatest Hits is a long-awaited retrospective from one of rock's most influential and enduring singer-songwriters. With 16 selections spanning his entire career since 1969, Greatest Hits features some of the greatest hits of rock'n'roll, period.
Description of Greatest Hits:
One question would be: What took him so long? After all, a contemporary like Van Morrison has sold boatloads of his single-disc best-of set to buyers wary of diving into that deep catalog without a primer to get them started. So three and a half decades into his solo career, Neil Young finally delivers his version of that most modest of albums--the pre-holiday "hits" overview. What's surprising, coming from such a proud maverick, is its conventionality. Granted, the original master mixes are a boon for fans, but otherwise, there's not much here for loyalists who quite likely already possess the original "Like a Hurricane" on a couple of albums, as well as a handful of live interpretations scanning the years. Since Young cracked the Top 10 only once (1972's "Heart of Gold"), this set is built around concert staples as "Cinnamon Girl," "Rockin' in the Free World," and "Hey, Hey, My My" rather than chart favorites. Despite Young's honorable standing as a still-vital graybeard, the disc is skewed heavily toward his early work, shortchanging some mighty productive recent years. Peripheral fans may find this set of interest, but faithful followers are better advised to investigate the DVD version, which, at least, includes videos, photos, lyrics, and Web links. --Steven Stolder
Greatest Hits Reviews:
Oldie but goodie 
2009-11-09 - Thanks for the quick delivery. This CD really brings back so many great memories! Thanks again>
A must have
2009-09-07 - One of the best compilations ever of a legend's songbook. Wanting to replace vinyl with CDs I started to purchase all of Young's great recordings and then found this collection, which captures the best of his music over the years. Dig the cover photo, too.
Neil Young sucks. 
2009-08-20 - I never understodd the nastalga behind this guy he can't even sing. The only song by this dude I can handle is "Rockin' in the free world" and even that song is nothing special, the rest on this album are just annoying. Another under talented overrated hack.
KEEP ON JOAQUIN PHOENIX IN THE FREE WORLD!!!!
2009-08-08 - There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign
on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin'
we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan,
but I am to them
So I try to forget it,
any way I can.
Keep on Joaquin Phoenix in the free world!
Keep on Joaquin Phoenix in the free world!
Keep on Joaquin Phoenix in the free world!
Keep on Joaquin Phoenix in the free world!
I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away,
and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life,
and what she's done to it
There's one more kid
that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love,
never get to be cool.
Keep on Joaquin Phoenix in the free world!
Keep on Joaquin Phoenix in the free world!
Keep on Joaquin Phoenix in the free world!
Keep on Joaquin Phoenix in the free world!
We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores
and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes
for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people,
says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn,
got roads to drive.
Keep on Joaquin Phoenix in the free world!
Keep on Joaquin Phoenix in the free world!
Keep on Joaquin Phoenix in the free world!
Keep on Joaquin Phoenix in the free world!
Greatest Hits 
2009-06-11 - Greatest Hits being Young's 3rd compilation and is an album "based on original record sales, airplay and download history". The album was met with great reviews by the critics and was given a full score by Allmusic. It also did well with the public peaking at #27 on the Billboard 200. We get a list of whom plays what for each track. We also get a nice mini poster of Neil Young looking pensive with his guitar. 4/5.
