Great collection
||Posted .This is probably one of the better collections of material from one individual during a 10 year period. From "I Need a Lover" to "Hurts So Good" to "Cherry Bomb". This is the music that defined the Midwest influence on rock 'n' roll. Of course some songs are missing that would have made this the definitive collection. Like "Blood On the Scarecrow" and "Play Guitar" just to name a couple. All in all, good listening, good memories. Great collection.

All the Great John Mellencamp Songs
||Posted .I have had the cassette of this collection for years. Love it! Thought it was time to upgrade to the cd. Now I can listen in my car. I do not download music. I want to have a cd that I can touch and look at and read. Another great for my collection! Thank you Best Buy for still having a great choice of music cds.

Great cd!
||Posted .I had always wanted this cd, but always got sidetracked by something else. At a recent visit at Best Buy, I took the time to go through every cd in the store & found it. So glad I did.Just sad cd's will not be sold in the store soon.

Best Collection Mellencamp's Early Years
||Posted .This collection of songs has pretty much every hit that John Mellencamp was known for throughout the '80s, including R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A. and Ain't Even Done with the Night. So if you loved John's early years, then this is the best collection you can find of John's early career when he was at his most famous.

Mellencamp Rocks!
||Posted .Great music by a fantastic artist! And with Best Buy getting out of the CD business, you can’t beat the price!
