Listening to his greatest hits, and he has some awesome songs! I've never owned any of his albums, but this is cool. I don't care for his last album, but these cheesy 80's tunes are nice.

I may use this album as an inspiration for a new CH tune.

5 U.S. top ten hits, including a #1 and a Grammy. Not many artists can claim that.

Jessie's girl was a great song, better yet that he wrote it.
The synths really brought the songs into the 80's.
Ive done everything, the Hagar cover was done well.

17 Top 40 hits in USA and another #1 back here in OZ from 1971.

His "Living in Oz" record is still a favorite of mine, even with the 80's synths on it.

Saw Rick perform in Tampa last night. Nice small venue, in the Hard Rock Cafe. He's just still amazing. Love his newest album. He performed a few of them. And to top things off, I got to see something I never thought I'd get to see him do live. "My Father's Chair" from the Tao album. The ballad he wrote trying to make sense of his father's untimely passing from cancer. It's an emotional beautiful song! Always makes me think of my own dad's passing. So glad I had the opportunity to see him perform it! I would share the song, but I didn't get to record the whole thing. Hope it shows up on YouTube!

Springfiled puts on a great show doesn't he. He has tons of energy and gives you your moneys worth. Last I saw him he did some covers and they sounded
better than the originals. He's playing tonight in Lauderdale and I might just head east and catch it!

He really does! And he's so appreciative and genuine to his fans/audience. You should head over to see him!

I wasn't aware that he'd had that many top 40 hits here. Definitely worth a greatest hits package.

It really was a great performance! I wish I had started recording on your phone sooner but I was just amazed he was really performing it, lol. He always puts on such a great fun rock show the times we've seen him live!

It's ok. I was happy to have even part of it recorded! I appreciate it so much! Still can't believe I got to hear it.

Rick rules! For some reason I'm not really digging the new album though. But I would see him anytime.

I am STUNNED to hear he played that. A beautiful song. Never thought he would do that one. I am jealous. I have never seen Rick live. Shoulda gone two years ago....
