Steppenwolf were a band that straddled the fence between jamming hard and maintaining catchy AM radio hits, and for a while they pulled it off effortlessly. Here's their story in a nutshell: all the big hits that have kept the group a staple on oldies and classic-rock radio stations for years. "Born to Be Wild, "Magic Carpet Ride," "Rock Me," and "The Pusher" are all here, along with lesser-charting singles and tracks from later albums. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide
