Guide Review - Poison: The Best Of Poison: 20 Years Of Rock

Writing this review makes me feel old. It has been 20 years since the release of Poison's debut album Look What The Cat Dragged In. I saw them play live shortly after its release. Two decades later they are still playing.

Poison had a lot of chart success, including 6 songs that made the Top 10 on the pop charts. "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" was a number one smash. All those songs are included, plus all their other singles and popular songs.

And even if you own every single Poison album, they've included a new song so you'll buy this one, too. It's an excellent cover of Grand Funk Railroad's "We're An American Band." So throw on those ripped jeans, feather that hair and go see Poison when they're on tour this summer and relive your wasted youth.
