Choosing between music CDs often comes down to a straightforward tradeoff: do you want the lower listed price of a Good-condition George Thorogood compilation, or a Brand New Heart collection centered on a particular decade of hits? Both are rock CDs, but their condition, artist focus, and compilation scope point to different kinds of collections.
Quick verdict
Pick Greatest Hits: 30 Years of Rock by George Thorogood if the priority is adding George Thorogood & Destroyers to a rock-CD shelf at the lower listed price. Pick Heart Greatest Hits 1985-1995 if a Brand New disc and a defined set of Heart's later-era songs matter more. The listed price spread is $6.12, while the condition distinction is equally important: Good for the Thorogood disc and Brand New for Heart.

Where each CD wins
George Thorogood wins for the lower entry price and a broad career-spanning title. *Greatest Hits: 30 Years of Rock* signals a collection built around Thorogood's catalog rather than a narrow album-era overview. It also carries producer credits for George Thorogood, John Nagy, and Terry Manning, giving collectors a little extra catalog detail to place the disc.
Heart wins for a Brand New condition and a clearly defined song period. The compilation covers 1985 through 1995 and names key Heart songs including "Alone," "What About Love," "These Dreams," and "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You." For someone seeking Heart's '80s and early-'90s rock-pop era in one disc, that focus is immediately useful.

Choose *Greatest Hits: 30 Years of Rock* when George Thorogood & Destroyers is the artist you want to add and the USD 5.48 listed price is the stronger fit for the purchase. The title's "30 Years of Rock" framing makes it a natural pick for a listener looking for a greatest-hits-oriented Thorogood CD rather than Heart's decade-specific collection. It is also listed as a Rock CD on Capitol. The key limitation is condition: the disc is identified as Good, not Brand New. That makes the Thorogood choice best suited to a shopper comfortable with a Good-condition copy and more interested in the artist and lower price than matching Heart's new condition.

Choose *Heart Greatest Hits 1985-1995* for a Brand New CD devoted to Heart's 1985-1995 material. Its 18 tracks include seven top-ten hits, with "Alone," "What About Love," "These Dreams," and "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You" among the named selections. That creates a focused option for listeners who especially want Heart's soaring vocal-driven '80s rock sound and the years that followed. The limitation is the time range itself: the compilation starts in 1985, so it does not include earlier Heart songs such as "Barracuda" or "Magic Man." Choose this disc for later-period Heart, not as a complete overview of every phase of the band.
Final choice by use case
- For the lower listed price and George Thorogood & Destroyers: choose *Greatest Hits: 30 Years of Rock* at USD 5.48.
- For a Brand New Heart CD with 18 tracks from 1985-1995: choose *Heart Greatest Hits 1985-1995* at USD 11.60.
- For a rock collection built around one artist's wider career framing: lean George Thorogood.
- For Heart songs such as "Alone" and "These Dreams": lean Heart.
