Pros: Every song is a classic, timeless music
Cons: Should have been a double album
Summary: Basically every track on this album was a classic in its own time, now they are all packed onto one CD. You know all of these songs by heart, you just don't know it until you hear them again. I bought this album 3 years ago and I still listen to it...

Pros: Great American rock from a fantastic artist
Cons: I never cared much for that "Streets of Philadelphia" song; where's "I'm on Fire?"
Summary: I can't remember what year it was for sure, but Bing Crosby was once asked what he thought about rock and roll artists. I believe it was a 1978 BBC interview that was the last thing Bing did before he died. Like I said, though, I'm not sure.
