Summary: Very good and full of hits !
Comment: A good cd to remember those sweet 80's and the hot summer night when I was a teenager. John Mellencamp was a hit machine and this "best of" contains his most known songs. If you are a casual fan like me, this album is made for you.

Summary: why bother?
Comment: I truly don't like John Mellencamp. His music was always some of the most offensive classic rock that came from the 80's because he hardly ever had any interesting musical ideas. It was always straight-forward, predictable commercial country rock/hard rock that never really did anything for me personally. This collection of tracks captures every single overplayed moment in all its glory. A disc you truly don't need to own because even today you can turn your radio on to ANY classic rock station and find most of the songs on the disc featured there, making this disc entirely pointless. The songs I particularly dislike would be "Pink Houses", "Lonely Ol' Night" and "Small Town". "Jack and Diane" HAS to be one of the most overplayed songs of all-time. It was great the first time you heard SOME of these songs, but not anymore. Overexposure can ruin a musicians career in the long run.

Summary: John Mellencamp - Just The Hits Folks
Comment: This album is exactly what the title implies, a collection of Mellencamp's singles recorded during his first decade. For what it is the album is a decent enough collection. You get no album cuts here, just the big hits and as the title implies there is nothing from any of his albums after 1988. So, there is a lot missing here. If you are just looking for the hits this is ok, but Mellencamp's work goes much deeper than this.

Summary: Rolling down the back roads with CougarCamp
Comment: I loaded this on to my mp3 player and plugged it into my stereo on my Goldwing and went cruising the back roads of Idaho! This is great! I would also recommend words and music. This music, you want to play loud and sing a long with. You can forget where your going when you get into the music! BC

The Best That I Could Do collects the singles that led John Mellencamp into the radio/jukebox pantheon he celebrated in "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A." and "Cherry Bomb." While albums such as American Fool, Uh Huh, and Scarecrow held Top 10 spots for months, their spinoff hits made this Hoosier disciple of Jagger, J.B., and Iggy into something like a Reagan-era John Fogerty: not only were "Pink Houses," "Paper in Fire," and "Crumblin' Down" wise (and wiseacre) dispatches from an America where it wasn't always morning, they could fill a dance floor and get you pounding the dashboard on the way home. --Rickey Wright
