Product Description
Amazon.ca
She has only had a few bona fide hits, but after almost 30 years, she's finally delivered a 15-song compilation of her signature songs that will be a CD point-of-departure for casual fans and newcomers well into the new millennium. The companion Misses volume is an intriguing curio that might rather more generously have been marketed as a bonus disc. --Jeff Bateman

I love this album. It has many of her early and best songs. I listened to it constantly when I first got it. Several of the songs gave me just the most incredible inner spiritual experience of delight, that almost otherworldly feeling you get when you're deeply moved or stimulated by a work of art, be it a painting, a book, or a piece of music. If you get this "Hits" album, don't lend it to a friend. I did, and never got it back :)

Ok, so i wasn't around in the late-60's and early-70's when Joni Mitchell came onto the scene. So I obviously missed this music the first time around. I've always been a fan of the singer songwriters of this era such as Carole King, Carly Simon, and Elton John, but seemed to overlook Joni Mitchell *big mistake.* I got this for Christmas and enjoy it very much. I'm a teenager so I'm not very knowledgable about this type of music, but I love Joni Mitchell's voice and songwriting style. True, she only had four top 40 hits, her biggest being the top 10 hit "Help Me" yet she has managed to be one of the most influential women in music. My favorites are "The Circle Game", "Help Me", "Come In From the Cold", "Big Yellow Taxi" and "Both Sides Now."
This collection definitely made me a fan and has intrigued me to check out her muisic catolgue furthur. :)

This, like many hits records, offers a decent sampling of what the artist, in this case, the amazing Joni Mitchell, has to offer. Notice I said a decent sampling. For all those out there who want to try Joni Mitchell's music, or just the genre in general- This is for you. Joni Mitchell is such an amazing artist, though- experimenting with severl entirely different sounds somehow without losing meaning or a musical identity- that one collection can never begin to cover her music. If you are already a fan, or own most of Joni Mitchell's music, I can't find very many compelling reasons to purchase this. For the beginners though- this disc is a good "101" course. listen, and then move on to other material ("Blue" and "The Hissing of Summer Lawns" are always good.).

Incomplete, but good for casual fans
This is a decent selection of Joni's best-known (not best) songs, but it's impossible to do her career justice on one CD. Read more

Enjoy Joni
I've been a fan of Joni's for about six months now, mostly due to the songs on this compilation.
To be honest, I didn't even really know who she was until Janet Jackson sampled... Read more
