Could've been better

I can't believe that this best of compilation doesn't have killer tunes like Wheels of Steel, Strong Arm of the Law, Princess of the Night and Power and the Glory, instead they decided to put the mellower songs on this CD and I thought that they're remake of Christopher Cross's Ride Like the Wind was mediocre, Saxon is supposed to be a fast hard rocking metal band. not just a radio friendly rock band, but the positive side of this CD is that it has my favorite song by Saxon called Denim and Leather, I wish that this CD would contain hits from 1979-83 but oh well, if you love Saxon, I would recommend Wheels of Steel or Denim and Leather as your first pick.

here we go again

Will someone listen to me? I wrote the "It's heavy- but heavy what?" review. I repeat - Saxon started as basically a heavy rock n roll band, then turned "radio friendly", BUT HAVE NOW MADE A COMEBACK TO HARDER MATERIAL. Who clicked on the "no" button on my review? Saxon were almost as big as Maiden in the UK in the early 80's but were never huge worldwide, but this most definitely does not mean that they were inferior to more famous bands.Like it or not, image is a part of popular music, and it is perhaps here that Saxon had a weak spot-they didn't have a definite image like Iron Maiden had.FONESCA, if you haven't heard Saxons stuff post 91 I can recommend that you do.This album does have a few of their good songs on it but I agree that it's a bad compilation.I've been a Saxon fan since 1986 so I like to think that I know what I'm talking about.

It's a shame !

SAXON was never a really big, big band, but without any doubt they left their mark in hard-rock / metal. They survived extinction along with Iron Maiden and Def Leppard. But I'd like to know who did the song selection for this compilation! HTis is absolutly not he best of Saxon ! The great songs from SAXON were written until the the album "CRUSADER". AFter that, they turned radio friendly and almost finished ! The songs in this selection (in their majority) has only their "radio phase" portrayed ! For old SAXON fans like myself, it's garbage.
