Cheap compilation cashing in on the success of one song
The rest of the comp, while consisting of some great material, is a short affair of tracks seemingly tacked on without care after 'Whip It', but that's pretty obvious since the song's title is used in the title of the compilation, which is a pretty tacky ploy in itself. This is one of those 'greatist hits' by musicians considered to be one hit wonders, that one hit of course being the almighty 'Whip It', which is probably one of the most, if not THE most, notorious alternative hits from the 80's.

Basically, if you like the song Whip It and might consider getting into this truly awesome band, try going for their 'Greatist Hits' instead as a warm-up, which'll give you a much clearer view of the band's overall psyche and style, because if you do find you enjoy these 10 tracks you'll kick yourself for getting such a whimpy compilation.


One of my favorite bands
This is a classic new wave band with many classic hits on it, at a great bargain price. This cool album includes the 80's classic 'Whip It', as well as many other of the band's new wave hits.
