About this album

Steppenwolf’s 16 Greatest Hits is a sharp, high-impact overview of one of hard rock’s most important early bands. Issued in 1973, the compilation gathers the songs that made the group a staple of late-1960s and early-1970s rock radio, from the outlaw charge of Born to Be Wild to the psychedelic thrust of Magic Carpet Ride and the harder-edged grit of The Pusher. Steppenwolf helped define the heavier end of classic rock, fusing blues-rooted riffing with biker-era attitude and John Kay’s gravelly vocals. As a snapshot of the band’s best-known work, it remains a useful entry point into their influential catalogue.
