Editor's Notes and Comments:
Amazon.com:
No matter whether or not you think Sylvester Stallone should have gone back to the Rocky trough one more time, this soundtrack is fun because it's basically a collection of music from all the past movies in the saga, ending with Three 6 Mafia’s rap contribution to Rocky Balboa, 'It's a Fight.' The CD starts off with Bill Conti's 'Gonna Fly Now (Theme from Rocky),' which remains so totally awesome that we can only bow to its 1970s brilliance; a 2006 remix tagged on at the end doesn't improve on it. Oddly, the sequencing isn't chronological, maybe so the two best-known tracks--the original theme and Survivor's 'Eye of the Tiger,' from Rocky III--could start off the CD with a one-two punch. But that also means that we zig-zag back and forth in the Rocky saga. James Brown's 'Living in America' (from Rocky IV) has aged rather well, but the compilers realized Bill Conti's proto-disco score for the very first installment still fares the best, and so five tracks are pulled from it (compared to just one from Rocky V). That old warhorse's still got some juice. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

If you love the Rocky series, and the music, you'll definitely enjoy this CD! It has classics like 'Gonna Fly Now' and 'Eye of the Tiger' It also has the gangsta' rap song 'It's a Fight' by the Three 6 Mafia! I highly recommend THE BEST OF ROCKY!!!

The disc was OK, but content was not what I expected - was looking for the instrumental score for the movie Rocky Balboa, but the disc didn't have the songs I wanted. Files wouldn't play in my older CD player. Otherwise, it was OK.

"Cut me Mick" because I don't see all of the best tracks on this CD. This CD has a good mix of music tracks from the Rocky series but there are alot of the the better tracks missing. "Philadelphia Morning", "First Date". "Take you back", "Vigil", and Eye of the Tiger. How can you leave out these emotion filled tunes??? I wish they would've made this a 2-CD collection. Just about all of the tracks from Rocky I should be included because it gave the audience an emotional picture about Rocky's life and what he was going through. Oh well, not to shabby but could've been great! I gotta go work out now.....that's what these tunes do to you.

Overall, this is a good collection of songs and themes from the Rocky films. My one criticism is that there a bit too many (approximately three) rehash versions of Bill Conti's "Gonna Fly Now" (the original Rocky theme song) on the tape. There are other music themes from the Rocky films that could have been included in their place....

Anyone who likes music of all types will like this album. Bill Conti and others really know their music. It's a powerful mixture of inspiration, reflection, challenge, and finally triumph. All major themes are clear,strong, and 'humable'. You'll find that these tunes will play in your head often, bringing strength and hope for your own life.
