Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Danny Wilde and Phil Solem formed The Rembrandts in Los Angeles in 1990, after meeting in the ‘80s pop/new wave band Great Buildings. While they’ll always be known for the phenomenal smash "I’ll Be There For You," (Theme from Friends), they created a host of harmony-filled, literate, and guitar-driven songs including the soulful "Just The Way It Is, Baby." Those signature classics plus the favorites "If Not for Misery," "Save Me," and "Johnny Have You Seen Her?" are among the 18 tracks featured here along with two defining Great Buildings cuts including the propulsive single "Hold On To Something."

4.0 out of 5 stars Painting Musical Pictures, January 29, 2008
By Tim Brough "author and music buff" (Springfield, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Danny Wilde and Phil Solem had a knack for catchy but low-key pop, a skill that served them to semi-successful effect through their working partnerships. With this best of, they get a little respect. Starting with the sole album by Great Buildings, a pair of new-wave almost hits show the pair's way with an energetic hook (and produced a KROQ classic in "Hold On To Something"). But then a ten year hiatus took place, after which they reunited and christened themselves The Rembrandts.

They were a bit more mellow than the old skinny-tie sound. The first top 20 hit was a hooky Beatle-esque number called "Just The Way It Is Baby," and comparisons to artists of the time like Crowded House or Michael Penn. The second album, Untitled, had an almost hit with the melancholy "Johnny Have You Seen Her" and (not included here) the fab-faux "Chase The Clouds Away." Then lightning struck. A chance request with the creator of "Friends" led Danny and Phil to knock off a quickie theme song that became so popular that DJ's were home-taping it from their TV's and editing a three minute version together.

Hastily written to a full length single and attached to their 3rd CD, LP, "I'll Be There For You" was an instant hit, taking the album platinum and finally giving The Rembrandts a broad success. It also torpedoed them as one-hit-wonders. Phil left before Danny finished the jangley-pop Spin This!, which was rich in both Beatles and Byrdsian influences. It also fell on deaf ears, despite stellar songs like "Long Walk Back." The duo returned/reunited for 2001's Lost Together, but by then The Rembrandts' time was past. They still tour and make music together.

This best-of provides ample proof of the duo's solid songcraft and more than a few 'shoulda-been' hits. Incidentally, get this over the Choice Picks, which are faithfully re-recorded version of some of Phil and Danny's favorites...but still are remakes.

1.0 out of 5 stars Typical Grt Hits Package, August 17, 2006
By Steffenwolf (Trinidad, WI) - See all my reviews
I've been waiting years for a Rembrandts GH CD and what do they do? Pull the same stunt that record companies do with most GH collections - leave out the best song. Where is "Chase the Clouds Away?" I'm giving this 1 star because there isn't a lower rating.
