5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Power Pop Album, March 17, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Proof: The Very Best of the Knack (Audio CD)

The Knack, The Romantics and Bazooka Jones all have a way of delivering a perfect three minute power pop gem. The Knack are the very best the genre has to offer and this album represents some of their best work. It takes me back in a good way, but still sounds as fresh as the day I heard it. Great song crafting and top-notch musicianship. Buy this record.

3.0 out of 5 stars Missing major songs, January 14, 2005

After The Knack released "Get the", they instantly became my favorite band. I still to this day enjoy listening to the entire album. Although I lost interest after thier 2nd album (mainly because of the introduction Harder/Glam Rock like Van Halen, Scorpions, Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, etc) they still should have been supported better than they were. The reason I'm only giving "Best of" 3/5 stars is the lack of other songs off of "Get the" such as my favorite "She's so (Selfish)", "The Monkey and me", "Frustrated" and "Maybe Tonight". If you don't own any Knack, your better off buying "Get the" instead of "Best of". Don't agree? Read the other reviews.

4.0 out of 5 stars Skinny-tie rock revisited, August 23, 1998

If you have fond memories of this band--or if "My Sharona" is simply a guilty pleasure--you'll probably enjoy this set. Includes "Sharona" and the group's other Top 40 singles, as well as mostly well-chosen album tracks (although their wonderful tribute to Phil Spector, "The Feeling I Get," was inexplicably left off). "Rocket O' Love," from their '91 album _Serious Fun_, is probably the most pleasant surprise for the new listener; the only dud is their horrid cover of "That Thing You Do."
