3 out of 5 stars Interesting retrospective.......2001-02-10

Made in USA in 1999, Serial# 72435-20581-2-9, Playing Time 35:18

This CD is part of EMI's "10 Best Series", which consists of putting what the record company deems to be the 10 best tracks from the artist.

This compilation features tracks up to their 3rd album, "Round Trip", plus 1 song (Don't Look Back) left in the vaults until the "Retrospective" album issued back in 1992.

THE KNACK, mostly known for "My Sharona", make basic but catchy music; I'd call it "Fun Rock": straight ahead, unpretentious melodies, that make you want to "get up and dance". The sad part is that the CD only lasts 35 minutes, their writing style consisting of 3-minute songs.

If you've got other retrospectives, you'll probably pass up on this; but if you don't, it's a good place to get exposed to their songwriting skills.
