Santana - The Best of Santana

Best of Santana Compilation

I bought the compilation for"No One to Depend On" snd found every cut worth while. The drumming is awesome and Greg Rolle(later of Journey) is great on the early tracks keyboards. This is the best of an iconic classic rock artist. September 28, 2008

Great collection with one minor complaint

Great collection of Santana classics. My one quibble is that I would have preferred the live version of "Soul Sacrifice" from Woodstock. That was an absolutely electric performance! September 18, 2008

latin rock delivers

carlos santana is the king of latin rock and has been for 40 years now and this is his best,leaning heavely on his early years (as it should) you get all his best tracks from black magic woman to the searing souls sacrifice. this is great rock from start to finish,it does have a few great tracks missing like Toussaint L'Overture and Guajira but these can be found on vol 2. so if your looking for some santana this is what your looking for.highly reccomended

Santana for ever

Santana my favorite guitar man, with his especial and unique style of sound, he is the only one exists. May 27, 2008

Hey not bad, a pretty good album with Santana's best songs.

This is a great album to get yourself started on Santana, its also a great way to listen to his stuff if you aren't that familiar with any of his older songs or just wanna listen to some great classic rock. I knew about the bigger hits like Oye como va and Black magic women but didn't know his other songs except for the new stuff which I'm not particularly a big fan of, his music is great latin flavored rock music with excellent beats and rhythms. This album has great songs like Black magic woman, Oye como va, Jin go la ba (best song ever!), Souls sacrifice and Samba pa ti. The only problem is that its missing a few more great songs like Guajira, Para los rumbereros and Love devotion and surrender I thought why did they do this since it is a best of album. My friend actually has a better compilation cd called Santana:- The ultimate collection which comes in two cds but this album is still good and cheap and the only one I could find at the cd store at the time. You can also get the best of vol.2 along with this album which is available on Amazon which I highly recommend cause Santana had some more great songs that seem to be missing from this cd.
