About Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits 1991-2001
Product Description The first "best of" collection from Barenaked Ladies follows the band's third straight platinum album, 2000's Top 5 smash Maroon, and highlights 17 hits and classic songs from the band's first 10 years plus two brand-new songs. Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits (1991-2001) features hits from "Brian Wilson" and "If I Had $1000000" to the more recent "Pinch Me," "Falling For The First Time" and the #1 smash "One Week." For long-time fans, as well as those just discovering the band, Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits (1991-2001) is the ultimate Barenaked Ladies experience. Certified Gold by the RIAA. (1/02) Amazon.com Electrifying performers and pure-pop songwriters of the highest order, Toronto's Barenaked Ladies have emerged over a decade as that strangest of beasts. They'll never land a dishy cover story in Mojo Magazine, but as they reflect on those ribald years between 1991 and 2001, the five can allow themselves wry smiles, knowing that sometimes, just sometimes, the cream rises to the top. In addition to familiar radio staples such as "Pinch Me," "The Old Apartment," "Jane," "Alternative Girlfriend," and the ubiquitous "One Week," there's a trump card on All Their Greatest Hits that will prove irresistible to completists: the Ladies' buttery, acoustic version of Bruce Cockburn's "Lovers in a Dangerous Time." Recorded eons ago for a Cockburn tribute disc that almost immediately went out of print, the song has until now been a rare and highly coveted collector's item. Two news songs--"Thanks That Was Fun" and "It's Only Me (The Wizard of Magicland)"--were recorded specifically for this collection, while two others ("Brian Wilson" and "What a Good Boy") are captured live. But what really brings this album home is, ironically, "If I Had $1,000,000." One of their very first hits cut as the Ladies were learning to dovetail their so-called "acoustic hip-hop" into slicker pop sensibilities, "$1,000,000"--a simple knock-kneed love song with harmonies so tight they're practically braided--is a snapshot of a band with all the pieces in place just as the planets were about to align. --Kim Hughes
