Poison Album: “The Best of Poison: 20 Years of Rock”

Description :

Poison (Metal): Bret Michaels (vocals); C.C. DeVille (guitar); Bobby Dall (bass guitar); Rikki Rockett (drums). <p>The glam metal band Poison's 20-year retrospective includes early hits like "Cry Tough," "Look What the Cat Dragged In," and "Talk Dirty to Me," as well as the old-school "Your Mama Don't Dance" and their version of Kiss's "Rock and Roll All Nite." Wide ranging in its scope and surprisingly contemporary-sounding, this collection is a worthy musical backdrop to two decades of public fist fights, car wrecks, splits and reunions.

If you are looking to get into Poison I would start with this collection of songs and music videos that helped shape the music, style and sound of the last 20 years in rock history. The best period in Poison's career was the first three albums and this CD covers most of the music from those periods. This CD starts at the beginning of Poison's career with the Look What The Cat Dragged In album which is represented by the first five songs. Tracks 6-9 come from their second album Open up and say ahh... Tracks 10 & 12-14 come from their third album Flesh & Blood. Track 11 comes from the Less Than Zero soundtrack from 1987 and this is the first time it has appeared on a Poison album. Track 15 comes from the fourth studio album Native Tongue. Track 16 comes from the half studio - half live album Power to the People. Track 17 comes from the album Hollyweird. Track 18 as noted on the CD is a new studio track, it is a cover of the classic song by Grand Funk Railroad. Track 11 is a cover of the KISS classic Rock N' Roll All Nite.

On this CD there is new material that is VERY GOOD...and of course there are the well known favorites as well. This was a great CD which led into a GREAT Concert!!!!

For those of us that weren't around or old enough to experience Poison in the beginning this CD takes us there and also shows us how much better they can get with time and experience!

This is a MUST HAVE for any Poison Fan!!!!

Well all I can review at this time is the Cd as I haven't watched the dvd yet, but I truly enjoyed the CD. If you are a fan of poison then you'll love it! all the hits of the past 20 years!!
