    Pros: The Few Guilty Pleasures

    Cons: Not Enough Pleasures To Compensate For The Guilt

    Unless this quartet- which was one of several artists that would debut in the Eighties who would combine the on stage appearance and image of glam with the bravado of hard rock- could elicit your fanaticism; would you be aware that this entity could ...sustain itself after the alternative explosion would rescue the landscape of contemporary music? At any rate Poison was without the brute force of Motley Crue but at least the former would know enough to steal from the New York Dolls which in turn is evident on such tracks as "I Want Action" and "Talk Dirty To Me" but so what? Most familiar with Poison were never astute enough to appreciate the New York Dolls and not enough of the best elements which originate from the latter would surface in the former. If pop culture is an accurate baromter of the climate to the society with which it entertains then the Eighties were- by and large- shallow. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Poison's Greatest Hits 1986-1996

  • All Music Guide

    Greatest Hits 1986-96 is as definitive as a Poison compilation could hope to be. Featuring a full 18 tracks, including all of their Top 50 hits ("Talk Dirty to Me," "I Want Action," "Nothin' But a Good Time," "Fallen Angel," "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," "Your Mama Don't Dance," "Unskinny Bop," "Something to Belive In," "Stand," among others) plus two unreleased cuts ("Sexual Thing," "Lay Your Body Down"), the album boasts every worthwhile song the group ever recorded, augmented by Brett Michaels' track-by-track commentary. Though the album isn't sequenced in chronological order, it plays like an excellent mix tape, which actually makes the album more listenable. Even on a compilation, Poison wears a little thin -- there are still dull moments among these 18 songs, mainly in the form of lesser-known album tracks and singles -- but still, Greatest Hits 1986-96 is the most enteraining album the band ever released.

Biography

Poison

In a decade fueled by party anthems and power ballads, Poison found a high amount of popularity, with only Bon Jovi and Def Leppard outselling them. While the group had a long string of hits, they soon became just as renowned for their stage show, and continued to be a major attraction over the course of their first three albums. Although their success was rather short-... Read more
