Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Pop pundits might contend that a Poison greatest-hits collection should be an EP. Yet despite jeers from critics, these glam-metal pretty boys produced big hits, filled arenas, and fueled MTV in the late '80s. And the opening track on this 18-cut compilation sets the record straight: "Nothing but a Good Time," indeed. From down 'n' dirty rockers such as "Talk Dirty to Me," "Look What the Cat Dragged In," and "I Want Action," to mega-ballads "Something to Believe In" and "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," this is a treat for those who like big hair and bigger hooks. Included are two previously unreleased songs, "Sexual Thing" and "Lay Your Body Down," the latter a lush, likable five-minute power ballad. One complaint: the song-by-song notes by singer Bret Michaels somewhat lack the pizzazz one anticipates from a band with such a colorful comportment. --Katherine Turman

POISON OWNS!!!.......2007-07-16

Quite possibly, the greatest 80's hair metal band, Poison's Greatest Hits is packed with explosive tracks picked from their first four albums and some late releases. As my very first POISON CD, I came to love the band and their songs that are driven by ultimate killer choruses. Every song is perfectly written and impressively performed, from cool glam rock to highly anticipated power ballads, and included in the booklet were passionate liner notes about the history of their songs written by Bret Michaels himself! Hearing this CD will leave you wanting for more! Definitely, a MUST-HAVE for Rock n Roll addicts!

Fun.......2007-04-19

Poison is a great band, even though most critics will disagree. There songs are fun and rocking. This is a great collection of there best songs and its great start for new Poison fans. Id even recommend it to anyone who likes good rock. They are better the Motley Crue.

Talkin' Dirty.......2007-02-01

This was the first CD i picked up from them and got hooked from the start. There are many other songs that aren't on here that are a 'must have', but this CD should be in every Poison Fans Collection!!

Pop rock, girly rock, GARBAGE rock.......2006-12-18

I never liked poison. The production of the actual albums are very good, but then they should be......so are Britney Spears!..and why? Well, after the new wave of British Heavy metal led to talented bands like Van Halen to get on the scene and make metal enorously popular in the US, record producers wanted to cash in on the act. So, just as Disney do today, groups were manufactured into iconic figures......in the case of poison, ....lets sell sex and string a few guitars in...oh yea, and hairspray.......and call it music! Its because of bands like poison that metal in the 80s was doomed. I hate grunge, but thank god it came before metal died forever. Poison existed because girls wanted to have sex with them....and, unlike motley crue, had no point to make musically
AVOID......unless you like manufactured tripe!!!
