Needs a second disc!

Review Score: (4/10)
So many key tracks were left off, From Dave's era Janie's crying, You really got me, Atomic punk, Beautiful girls, Mean streets, Hear about it later, Dancin in the streets, Where have all the good times gone, Pretty women, I'll wait; Hell, where's Hot for teacher?

Sammy's half lacks 5150, Summer nights, Best of both worlds, Finish what ya started, Judgement day, The Dream is over, Runaround, and Top of the world.

This compilation re-inforces my belief that greatest hits are just the record companies out grubbing for cash.

The new tunes Can't get this stuff no more and me wise magic are alright, it's great to here David Lee Roth behind the mic again. Download 'em if you can. VH fans starting from scratch might be better served with the individual albums. Check used record stores.
