1.0 out of 5 stars Not a real Indigo Girls CD, February 18, 2009

This is a cheap attempt by the Indigo Girls' former record company to make some cash. This does not represent the best of IG, nor is it even a good beginner's collection. If you are looking at this product, check out "Retrospective" or "4.5" or even "1200 Curfews." Or go on iTunes and handpick your song collection. This collection is not put out by Amy or Emily, so it is not approved by the Indigo Girls.

OK, I will admit I was disappointed as a seasoned fan to see this rather meager selection. But I cannot give any Indigo Girls CD less than 3 stars - these ladies are just too talented and anyone glossing over the rating without moving to the bottom of the page to read the explanation might mistakenly think poorly of their music. Besides, the selection is not bad except for the last track, which although has been played at numerous concerts, is not even an Indigo Girls song but a cover of the Gladys Knight and the Pips Grammy-winning original. Amy and Emily are such prolific and consistently creative songwriters that it is hard to imagine the last track of a "best of" CD not being Indigo material. Other important songs under the Epic label were left out -- Land of Canaan, Ghost, Let It Be Me, Mystery, The Wood Song, Gone Again, and many, many more. Their more electric rock that was very innovative in terms of harmony and melody was also left out: Trouble, Go, Shed Your Skin, Tether, to name a few. But if this CD gives the newbie the urge to migrate to their other albums (honestly, unlike many artists, every song on their albums are worth hearing) then this CD will have achieved its purpose. Definitely, though, Retrospective is a better starting choice. Better yet, see them live. Amazingly, after more than 20 years, they are still going strong.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY, January 28, 2009

Based on my very limited experience with Playlist, DO NOT PURCHASE this CD. It is awful and does NOT represent the best of Indigo Girls as anyone who is familiar with their musical collection will testify. If "Playlist" is a new product/phenomenon, based on my personal extensive knowledge of the artists and my experience with this single CD, I would NOT purchase anything Playlist produces.
