Big, Bigger, Biggest! The Best of Mr. Big!

Popularity23.3

Big, Bigger, Biggest! The Best of Mr. Big! is a compilation from the American hard rock band Mr. Big, released on Atlantic on 25 November 1996. It collects highlights from the group's early run of records, and it appeared in the same year as their fourth studio album, Hey Man.

By then the band had made four studio albums, beginning with their self-titled debut in 1989, then Lean Into It in 1991 and Bump Ahead in 1993. This collection is a handy way into that first chapter of their story, before later records such as Get Over It, Actual Size and, much later, Defying Gravity and Ten. It is one of five compilations in their discography, and worth a spin if you want the band's hard rock sound in one sitting.
