![]() ![]() There are probably some others I’m forgetting – in any case, it’s not meant to be a complete list. Others that come to my mind are Neil Young’s Decade, Eagles’ Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975), Santana’s Greatest Hits, Steely Dan’s Greatest Hits and the aforementioned Simon & Garfunkel album. Recently, I rediscovered History. To me, it’s one of the best greatest hits compilations I know, which were released in the ’70s. It was one of the vinyl records my older sister had, which among others also included Carole King’s Tapestry Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s Déjà Vu and Simon & Garfunkel’s Greatest Hits – all albums I dig to this day.

My listening experience made me want to post about the album that started my America journey as a nine- or 10-year-old back in Germany: History: America’s Greatest Hits. In any case, I’ve loved America’s music for many years and always enjoy revisiting it. If anything, frankly, I would consider sounding like one of the best harmony-singing bands of all time as a compliment. I realize the trio has been dismissed by some critics as a Crosby, Stills & Nash knockoff. On Monday, I found myself listening to America.
