Performer Notes Poison: Bret Michaels (vocals); C.C. Deville, Richie Kotzen, Blues Saraceno (guitar); Bobby Dall (bass); Rikki Rockett (drums). Recorded between 1986 & 1999. Includes liner notes by Bret Michaels. Personnel: Bret Michaels (vocals); Richie Kotzen, Blues Saraceno , C.C. DeVille (guitar); Rikki Rockett (drums). Audio Remasterer: Kevin Reeves. Liner Note Author: Bret Michaels. Photographers: William Hames; Annamaria DiSanto; Nitin Vadukul; Neil Zlozower. 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. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Professional Reviews Entertainment Weekly (12/20/96, p.76) - "Poison, who dressed even trashier than the bad girls in their songs, started out in joyous celebration of partying...and looking for a kiss....This single-disc overview covers those bases..." - Rating: B+ Q (12/00, p.148) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Chicks-and-beer prom tunes....glorious brain-dead testaments to an age when rebellion came with lip gloss and leather pants."

By Carl on June 30, 2007
An excellent album consisting of some of their best songs, definitely one of their best. I enjoyed the majority of the tracks on here, but felt some were lacking. In spite of this is still a must have album to any Poison fan and for the great price you can’t go wrong.

An excellant compilation of the hits of this awesome Rock (or even death metal) band, it is sure to keep even the biggest fan happy. Recordings from various cds spanning the band's career, including some from before cds were even invented, this cd set is the perfect way to get all those great songs at once. I highly recommend this for any Poison fan, and even just any fan of this style music!
