Editorial Review:
This packed double-disc is the slim option for fans who find the Eagles' vaunted greatest hits sets too little and the boxed set too hefty. Hit singles large and medium are here, often ("One of These Nights," "Hotel California") still sounding definitive and even tough. Large helpings of favorite album cuts are also included, along with a taster from a promised 2004 Eagles studio reunion. Unfortunately, "Hole in the World," Don Henley's response to September 11, feels just as empty and entitled as "Get Over It," the band's previous state-of-the-union message (from which the newer song represents a philosophical 180-degree turn). But for those seeking an overview of this Southern California juggernaut's successes, as well as telling comments from band members--mostly Henley and Frey--in a well-designed booklet, Very Best will more than do. --Rickey Wright

truly the greatest hits:
i purchased this cd as opposed to "their greatest hits" cd's 1 and 2 because it has more songs and pretty much all the greatest hits. make the comparison and you will be very happy with this cd. every song is fabulous.
Excellent:
Eagles fans know this is a superb compulation of selections. This CD is full of songs that listeners will find timeless enjoy. Anyone that love and appreciate some of the best written, performed and recorded music ever, will love this CD.
Already Gone:
Well folks, I suppose everything must end sometime because there is always a New Kid in Town. And, although it is true that I've been On the Border for some time, there is a need to Take It to The Limit and Get Over It. Right now, I am writing this from The Hotel California, and I'm seeing them dance in the courtyard with Those Shoes. Yep I definitely can see another Heartache Tonight. All these people are a Victim of Love and, what would you expect with their Lyin' Eyes? It's almost as sad as The Sad Cafe.... more info
Brings back wonderful memories!:
I was so excited to see this 2 disk set in the Gold Box at a wonderful price! I quickly ordered and 2 days later was enjoying this with my friends. If you like the Eagles, you won't be disappointed since this collection contains some all time favorites such as Hotel California, Lyin' Eyes, and I Can't Tell You Why. There are way too many more great songs to list. Well worth the price, even if it's gone up a bit since that day.
