Poison's Greatest Hits 1986-1996 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
Bret Michaels' track-by-track commentary. Though the album isn't sequenced in chronological order, it plays like an excellent mixtape, 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 1986-1996 is the most enteraining album the band ever released.
