She tries, she really does:
This CD is all the proof anybody will need to show why MS. basil was a one hit wonder. The songs on this CD apart from "Mickey" are laughable, forgettable and just plain bad. To say this is a * Best of * CD is really stretching creditability here and in my opinion just plain misleading. This peice of toxic matter is not even worth seeing at the bargain bin of a music store.
Disappointing:
I enjoyed listening and dancing "Mickey" in the eighties, then I liked "All Over my Head", so when I saw that the "Best" tracks were reissued, I bought the CD. What a mistake! The only tracks that are worth the buy are them. If you are a real fan this CD will make your day but if you are a eighties music fan, don't waste your money.
Review of Best of Toni Basil:
Fortuantely, Toni Basil has allowed the release of her greatest hits(primarily the Eighties music) in this great compilation. Her qualities are never duplicated including the fact that she is a great choreographer for her own releases and many other videos and films. For die-hard fans of the Eighties sound,I would greatly recommend this album. R.C.
In response to "A Music Fan from Untied (sic) States":
A Music Fan: The album is called the Best of Toni Basil, and I think they were obviously very cautious in naming it. Just because something wasn't a hit doesn't necessarily mean that it was bad. Timing, circulation, videos, all of these also play a crucial role in making - or breaking - a song. I recommend this album if you like Mickey, and want to hear some of her other works, and it's something nice to own if you're a big Toni Basil fan.
Good, but missing some notable tracks.....:
Not a bad compilation, but there are a couple of notable songs that should have been included. "Shopping from A to Z" and the re-make of "Rock On", both from the "Word of Mouth" album, should be here, as well as "Do You Wanna Dance" from the self-titled album.
