I have mixed feelings about this album. There are songs on here I love, and songs I hate. But then that is always the case with compilation. I think the surprise that came with this with the choice of the songs that made this album.

Obviously artists such as Kelly Clarkson, Rob Thomas, and the Foo Fighters were going to make the cut on this album, considering they were the hot acts for 2006 but I was surprised to see Bruce Springsteen, Sheryl Crow, Neil Young and The Stones make the cut. Surprised, but not disappointed since I believe Springsteen’s "Devil and Dusts" is probably one of the best cuts on this album.

I was disappointed to see acts like Stevie Wonder and Mariah Carey make the album, since their songs seriously lack the oomph that the rest of the album has.

I’d like to know how they chose which songs went on this album with all the nominees they had, and I wish they had substituted Mariah for multi-nominee Gwen Stefani, but what can you do?
Is it worth buying? I think it is, if you like a mix of different tracks ranging from the most popular at the moment to some of the dinosaurs still floating about.

I give the album 3/5
