3 stars This is another compillation, im not sure if it could be named as "The best of", because it has only 6 songs, for some strange reason this album was namd "A Collection of Great Dance Songs"( the cover art is nice IMO, of course you wont dance when you listen to "Sheep" for example, but anyway the nameis not that important.

I have read the reviews of this album, and despite the most of them talk about it as a worthless compillation, and gave it only 1 or 2 stars, it has not changed my mind, so i feel the need to do this reviews in my particular point of view.

One thing that i am sure, is that the songs included here are maybe the most well known and commercial of them, tunes that you can listen in any radio station or with a friend i dont know, anyway a commercial or well - known song is not a BAD song, so im glad to have this album compillation, because i like all the songs here and i enjoy it every time i listen to it. I want to clarify, that im agree in the way that this is not the best album, not the best compillation, not the best of, there are some beautiful and best songs, but here you can enjoy "Shine on "...what a song no?

This album starts with the instrumental bass oriented and atmospheric "One of These Days" which is a great song, immediatley after the finish the bass tunes of "Money" starts, i know you maybe hate that song because it is so overplayed, anyway i love it,"Sheep" is maybe the lesser known, from "Animals" a 10 minute great song, "Shine on you Crazy Diamond", i dont have anything to say about it, you already know the beauty of it, "Wish You Were Here" a hymn, a beautiful song, and finishing this compillation "Another Brick in the Wall", musically maybe not the greatest, but good.

After that points, here youcan enjoy 40 minutes of great Floyd tunes, so i think it deserves at least 3 stars, because tīs good, but of course non - essential.
