Rock 'N' Oz is the first greatest-hits compilation of the Spanish folk metal band Mägo de Oz. It also comes with a special edition entitled The Best Oz which includes an extra disc containing rare recordings as well as a DVD highlighting their American tour.

The album also has four rerecorded songs: "Molinos de viento", "Jesús de Chamberí", "El Cantar de la Luna Oscura", and "Hasta que tu muerte nos separe". The band also announced that they would be signing copies of the album throughout multiple locations in Spain.

Controversy

Chilean songwriter Fernando Ubiergo claimed that the band's leader (Txus di Fellatio) recorded one of their songs without copyright permission, and credited to Txus. The band apologized and told the media it was a print-mistake.
