I'm a huge Friends fan, and, in a fit of nostalgia for the end of the show, I picked up this CD.

The music and dialogue snippets are all from the first season. Some of the music on Friends that I really associate with the show (especially those involving the big Ross & Rachel moments) therefore aren't included. I don't remember, frankly, when some of these songs WERE played - and I know the show pretty well - but they are all good.

I do most of my music listening on my mp3 player during workouts these days, and there are plenty of upbeat songs that I enjoy for that.

One gripe - the dialogue bits are not separate tracks. So, when I did copy some of the music to my mp3 player, I get not only the song, but the dialogue at the end, which is slightly annoying.

If you're a Friends fan, you'll probably enjoy the CD, but just read the playlist before you buy it if you're expecting the later music.

I purchased this CD mainly for the theme song to the television show. It appears twice on the CD, once as it's original version as once on how it appears on TV. It is a good song, but "I Go Blind" is by far the best song. "Big Yellow Taxi" is catchy. But so is "Sexuality", which, though has a great tune, has really cheesey(that's right, I said the word cheesey) lyrics. "You'll Know You Were Loved" is just the opposite-great lyrics but I don't think Lou Reed has a very good voice. "Sunshine" and "Shoe Box" are also good. "Good Intentions" is kind of boring. I really liked the little tansitions between songs that had little bits of the TV show in it. They really give a taste of what the show is like.

My grandma gave me this CD after she only listened to it about once. I love the show, its the best one on TV now besides "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "Scrubs" (whose soundtrack is coming out sometime in September). This soundtrack has its high and low points. The high points are the inclusion of both "I'll Be There For You" TV and Album Versions, and the Hootie and the Blowfish song which is awesome! I like mellow music that will calm me down and this CD cures that. YOU EVEN GET SOME GREAT DIALOGUE FROM THE SHOW (not new dialogue seeing that this CD was released in '95) in between songs so don't skip through it trying to find it, because its hidden in between songs. Did you really think there was going to be something bad about this CD? Anyway, check it out, you might like it you might not.

I'm totally crazy about FRIENDS since the show first started.This cd is not only a great reminder of the show but a terrific album too! Whenever feeling down,I just listen to it and the blues get kicked out immediately!GREAT SHOW,GREAT CD! GO GET IT!

Fans of the show will love this CD. Nearly every track perfectly captures the spirit and mood of the show. Terrific music to listen to when down in the dumps.

One of the best CD's I ever bought. Love the show. Love the cast. Love the CD. This CD is one of a kind. I love most of the song especially the dialogues from the show which always reminds me how the show is hilariously funny! The CD is entertaining. You've got to have this!

This Cd has 14 songs including: I'll be there For you by The Rembrants (both versions), Big Yellow Taxi The Remix by Joni Michell, ect. In between songs 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 14 there is a little diologe from real Friends episodes. After The full version of I'll Be THere For You (song #14) wait about 20 secongs or so and a kareoke version plays. Then the last diologe bit comes on.

the moment i bought this CD, and finished it i realised it was a perpetual must-have, it totally reflects the show and the <<friends>> in it.

the clips between the songs are just wonderful and the main song is even better, on't miss it buy it the moment you see it, you won't regret of it.

For a TV soundtrack, this CD is probably second only to the Ally McBeal one. It has some great hits like "Good Intentions", "Angel in the Morning", "In My Room", and "It's A Free World Baby". And if you are a Hootie fan you'll appreciate that "I Go Blind" is on the CD as well. Overall though the CD is just okay. While some of the songs are great others on the CD are annoying. Or maybe they just take some getting used to, I don't know. At first I liked that there were clips from the show at the end of every song, because I thought it was appropriate for a TV soundtrack, but after a while they seem disruptive. Good CD to listen to just because, but not a great CD overall....

I think it is a really good soundtrack. The songs really relate to the situations and characters on the show, and the clips in between the songs are hilarious. I would definately recommend this for all you avid FRIENDS fans. Each song relates to the clip played with it, and it sort of summarizes the show. I am a huge FRIENDS fan, and I love the soundtrack.
