Some were big hits like "Brian Wilson," "One Week," and "Pinch Me." Others were lesser hits but just as good (and fun) like "Falling For the First Time," "It's All Been Done," and "Too Little Too Late." Others I never heard on the radio but I love like "Alternative Girlfriend" and "Shoebox," but some of my new favorites are "Jane" (my wife played this one so much the kids almost got sick of it) and "What a Good Boy." There are 2 or 3 songs I usually skip, and I wish "Grade 9" was included here, but overall this is a fantastic album from a really fun band (my wife and I saw them at the 2002 Winter Olympics and they were a riot). Except the lyrics were a little unusual: "why did you keep the dish rack/why did you keep the mouse trap/these things used to be mine/I guess they still are I want 'em back." Later I heard "If I Had $1,000,000" and I wondered what kind of rock band uses accordions (of course, that's still my favorite BNL song).They've had enough hits that everyone should know that they're a little goofy - and this is a fine collection of their music when they were still at their prime. We've had this cd for a long time but I hadn't listened to it for a while until recently, and just had to comment on it. I still remember hearing "The Old Apartment" when it came out. It was back in the grunge days and to me the sound was similar (especially Steven Page's strong voice).
I don't need any of their other cd's now that I have this one, it has every song I like from all their albums. This cd has all of Bare Naked Ladies greatest tunes.
Great service. Product in excellent shape and was shipped faster than I had expected.
But if you own any of their stuff (if not you should really get some) you know how great and witty all the songs are. These were their most famous tunes. If you not a real big BNL fan than this is the album to pick up. If you are a big BNL fan than you already have all these songs.
I've listened to it over a dozen times, and I'm not tired of it, which is pretty high praise.jc These guys are pretty good musicians, the drummer stands out on several songs. Mostly pretty good songs, with some filler.
