Glam is good, August 5, 2005
This is for the bonehead that wrote about glam being s**t. How old are you, 10 years old? I grew up listing to this and I think that it's a whole hell of a lot better than some of the crap they are playing now, music was music then, not just crap, like they play now.
If you can't understand why people like this, then maybe you need to go and clean out your ears and grow up more, because you are not a true metal head, true metal heads like me, can appreciate good music. I grew up with listing to venom, voivod, black flag, wrathchild, poisen and Ozzy, and many more artist than you can even ever imagine and I am in my late 30's and I still crank up PBF and other hair metal bands in my car.

An OK Collection, June 24, 2004
"Ultimate PBF" is a decent collection of demos and studio tracks from the immortal glam band. Unfortunately, all these tracks have been released on previous albums so there's nothing new for the hardcore fans. Also, this cd only has 13 tracks. The last 2 tracks listed "Set the Night on Fire" & "Rock & Roll Outlaws" are not on the disc in any form. Somebody sure messed up. To people new to the band, I'd recommend their debut album "Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz" over this. It's a lot more consistant and still ranks as my favorite. Not that "Ultimate PBF" doesn't have it's strong points. It's just that the muddy sounding demos seem out of place next to their slick studio work. I realize this is just an attempt by Deadline Records to make a buck off the PBF name(if that's even possible), but "Ultimate PBF" isn't bad. If they had offered up something a little different, my review would have been a bit more positive.

Quick Question, January 14, 2005
Who is the greatest band you've ever heard?
A. Pretty Boy Floyd
B. Zebra
C. Grim Reaper
D. All of the Above
That is a total trick questions because I would never make you choose between those titans of metal. Ultimate PBY(that's the first letters of the words in Pretty Boy Floyd) is an answer to the question most hard core metal fans have had for the last 10 years. "Where can I get the best songs by PYT melted down to just one collection?". That question and ,"Why is my hair so freaking frizzy today?" dominated the metal landscape for years. PHT is so tight with their musicianship that you wonder how they've only been playing for 14 years. Their hooks are the best in the business and they completely look like ugly women. Looking like glammed up ugly chicks normally is not a recipe for success,(see Star Jones) but PCB pulls it off with a pinache not seen since Joel Gray in "Silver Spoons". If you are a true metal head and don't have this disc, turn in your card and rent Steel Magnolias because you're a total woman.
