Biography by Richie Unterberger allmusic.com

Although they only attained the huge success of the Beatles, Rolling
Stones, and the Beach Boys for a short time in the mid-\'60s, time has
judged the Byrds to be nearly as influential as those groups in the
long run. They were not solely responsible for devising folk-rock,
but they were certainly more responsible than any other single act
(Dylan included) for melding the innovations and energy of the
British Invasion with the best lyrical and musical elements of
contemporary folk music. The jangling, 12-string guitar sound of
leader Roger McGuinn\'s Rickenbacker was permanently absorbed into the
vocabulary of rock. They also played a vital role in pioneering
psychedelic rock and country-rock, the unifying element being their
angelic harmonies and restless eclecticism.

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine allmusic.com

Forget about a career retrospective -- it\'s impossible to summarize
the Byrds\' hits in ten songs. Nevertheless, the budget-line
collection Super Hits does a nice job of rounding up the group\'s hits
-- including \"Mr. Tambourine Man,\" \"Turn! Turn! Turn!,\" \"Eight Miles
High,\" and \"So You Want to Be a Rock & Roll Star\" -- plus a handful
of cult favorites (\"Chestnut Mare,\" \"He Was a Friend of Mine\") on one
affordable compilation. It\'s far from definitive or necessarily
representative -- several phases of the band\'s evolution are missing
-- but it may be of interest to casual fans on a strict budget.
