Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
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




Rating: - The Best That I Could Do
John Mellencamp sing from the heart about the heartland of our country. His songs give insight into small town farming communities, teenage angst, divorce, dringking, and on and on. He lives in the land where he sings about, so he's not some transplant who has the outsider's view of mid-America.

These songs on this collection are his greatest hits. Every one of them has received airplay on popular and rock radio stations. Mellencamp is not one of those artists with two or three bonafide ... Read More

Rating: - Very good and full of hits !
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.

Rating: - why bother?
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 ... Read More

Rating: - John Mellencamp - Just The Hits Folks
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.
