Greatest Hits 1986-1996 by Poison (Metal)

Pros: Great tracks, classic riffs
Cons: Some 'blah' tracks from later years

It’s comforting at times returning to the music of adolescence. I was just beginning to discover the joys of rock music about the same time that Poison first touched my delicate ears. My friend was fascinated by C.C. Deville’s amazing hair ...

Pros: Great rhythms, awesome lyrics for all moods, good solid guitar playing!
Cons: A couple of songs to many!

This was a group I came to appreciate more toward the end of their music careers. I always did like some of their music and songs in the mid 80's and 90's but, I just never took the time to really feel their music. Being in my late teens (and ...

Pros: Bounce off the walls type of rock n' roll.
Cons: Glam to the hilt!

Poison's Greatest Hits 1986-1996

The biggest, stickiest, made up hair band of the 80's is back. The new "retro" 80's music. When I first heard that statement, I cringed, I was a teenager is the 80's and yes Poison was one of many of my...

Pros: quite possibly the guiltiest pleasure that exists
Cons: 18 songs is pretty long for a band that had maybe 10 or 11 true "greatest hits"

Poison certainly will never win any critical acclaim. After all, their music was never anything on a par with Bob Dylan or Led Zeppelin, or even great 90s artists such as the Seattle supergroups. But at the same time, they never pretended that...

Pros: decent collection of hard rockers and ballads
Cons: too many average songs; could have had one or two more songs from "native tongue"

Let's face it--Poison was the ultimate poser band. You either loved them or hated them. They were the prominent forces behind the "hair metal" movement. While the word "metal" was not an accurate term to describe their music, I...

Pros: Songwriting like they did in the old days.
Cons: Just don't let anyone see you with it.....ok?

Can't believe I'm about to review a Poison album. What on earth could that do to your street cred? Well, here goes....

Poison. What did I know about Poison before I bought this best of collection? Er, I think I knew they did "Every...

Pros: Simply electrifying, powerful music
Cons: a couple of songs that don't belong

In the summer of 1999, I saw a Behind the Music special on Poison. This brought me back to when hair bands ruled the whole rock scene. With the help of Napster, I was able to find some of their music that I had not been able to find in years. Then,...

Pros: Great Band
Cons: -

I do not own Poison's greatest hits but I do know that Poison is a great band. I attended one of there concerts earlier this year and them along with Slaughter, Dokken, and Cinderella rocked the house. Poison has so many great songs that include, Every...
