Awesome collection, even if it doesn't do the band justice
Like many reviewers, I tend to downgrade greatest hits albums a bit if they leave off certain songs.

Tesla's music sounds a lot less dated today than many of those spandex-n-Aqua-Net bands, and that's because their no-frills image also translated to their music. Instead of the heavily overprocessed thick drum sounds, guitar synths, and keyboards that bands like Def Leppard, Bon Jovi and Motley Crue used so extensively throughout the 80's, Tesla's production was much more stripped-down and...
