4 out of 5 stars A GREAT STARTER ..........2006-06-09

I was introduced to Hothouse Flowers at a party, but it took me awhile (a year or more) to actually figure out who this band was. (Asking my host about the band seemed uncool somehow, I guess.) But awhile later I bought Songs from the Rain, which I've always been torn between loving and thinking it's a little hoakie. There's such a strong spiritual, granola vibe on the album that at times you're really moved by it and at other times you feel it's just a little too touchy-feely. But one thing I did realize was I liked this band, this lead singer's powerful voice, the retro,gossipal, rock sound.

I think I next picked up Home, which had a couple of really great songs on its, like Hardstone City, Give it Up and Movies. Then I found People, which had probably my favorite Hothouse song, Halleluah Jordan, along with the great rocker I'm Sorry. In all these three CDs had great moments.

Well the Best of ... wraps up all these great moments -- although it's missing Hardstone City and Gypsey Fair from Songs from the Rain. It's a great starter for anyone who is interested in Hothouse Flowers, or anyone who is just interested in good rock n' roll. Hothouse at their best have an energy the few bands can match, and their music hits you in the gut. I'm going to stop before I say something hoakie, like it makes you think -- but I think it does make you feel.

4 out of 5 stars Most of their best........2004-06-01

This is a pretty good collection from "Hothouse Flowers", and identical to their import "Best Of", plus two more tracks. Of course it's missing a few good songs, but what's here makes up for that. Included are numerous tracks from the "People" album, like "I'm Sorry", "Don't Go", "Older We Get", "It'll Be Easier In The Morning", and "Love Don't Work This Way". Plus the great songs "Give It Up", "Home", "Forever More", and others. Overall it's a "Hot" collection of a band that's a little bit rock, folk, and Irish.

3 out of 5 stars A Decent Overview of a Great Band.......2001-04-07

As Greatest Hits/Best of cds go, this one is somewhat mediocre. To begin, the 14 songs don't even take up 60 minutes on the cd. The Hothouse Flowers have so many good songs that this disc should've been filled to the 79 minute mark. Nevertheless, the songs included are terrific, my major complaint being the absence of some of the truly fantastic material from "Songs from the Rain"--especially 'Good for You' and 'Isn't it Amazing'. Overall, this cd is worth getting as an overview, but to begin listening to the Flowers, I would recommend starting with either "Home" or "Songs from the Rain".

5 out of 5 stars Amazing collection of songs!.......2001-01-03

These are some of the best songs the Flowers have done. It's a shame they haven't gotten very much exposure, especially in the US market. My favorite song by them is called "Isn't It Amazing" and is found on the album Songs From the Rain, but not on this one, so check out that recording as well if you haven't already. They're one of my all-time favorite groups and they more than deserve more attention than they've gotten, check em out!
