Earth, Wind & Fire Album: “The Best Of Earth, Wind & Fire Vol. II”

EWF is perhaps the greatest band of our time. They had the best songs for a 20 year span and yet the record companies continue to put together greatest hit packages on one cd. How the heck can you have an EWF greatest hits on one cd? Impossible. Hey record company, while you're at it, do the Beatles, Elvis, Stevie and Frank too.

I own both Best of CD's by EWF. I am glad that I do. This one completes what I feel are some of their best songs!!! I am surprised at all of the negative reviews! Maybe I missed something??? My favorites on this one are Turn On (The Beat Box), Let's Groove, After The Love Is Gone, and Devotion. I wasn't that much of a fan of EWF till recently...so, maybe they are what I have missed all along.

Earth,Wind & Fire's first greatest hits album is so musically well constructed it's almost worth those who own the albums already to have it.The same isn't true with this one-tune's like "Love's Holiday","Serpentine Fire","Mighty Mighty" and "Boogie Wonderland" are classics but the overall album doesn't flow together half as well as the first.The juxtaposition of era's is jarring too-the production and style of some of the songs have too much of a range and makes it seem well....dated in parts.Better to purchase the chronological and extensive 'Eternal Dance' box set-it has ALL the hits in the proper order and is frankly better mastered.

ok...so by writing this review i am giving away my age...more or less. this group is by far the best ever and this cd brings me back to my cool anf funky teenage years. it is a must have!

back in the day I mainly bought this for the fact that "Love's Holiday" was on it. always had to collect EWF Albums back in the day. I wasn't feeling there WHitney Houston lite cut "Turn on the Beatbox" which was a Poor Man's "Let's Groove". alot of the tracks on here have the 70's Greatness of there Peak&prime time form. EWF along with the Isley brothers are my all time favorite bands.
