 Right about now...the funk soul brother... July 14, 2008
With hits like The Rockafeller Skank, Praise You and Weapon Of Choice, Fatboy Slim (a.k.a. Quentin Leo Cook) has been moving people and cranking out great mixes for over two decades. His songs have also created buzz in the medium of video--Rockafeller Skank was featured in the movie She's All That, Praise You was featured in Cruel Intentions, and Weapon of Choice had an award-winning and highly requested video featuring Christopher Walken. This collection of hits brings the best of the best together in one place (and the alternate version, which includes the videos, is perfect for those who want to hear AND see the songs).

I'm not a huge fan of Fatboy Slim but this CD is great. Most of the songs you can hear all the time and there were a few I have not heard of at all. While most of these pay on commericals or in movies (mainstream) its good background music for parties.
 Who IS Fatboy Slim? January 12, 2007

Well, I had NO IDEA who he was. Until I listened to this CD and recognized almost EVERY SINGLE ONE of the songs on it! These songs have been in TV commercials, movies, etc. We bought one for my brother in law for Christmas. EXCELLENT CD!!!! If you want to get a Fatboy Slim CD, this is the one to get.

This is what happens when you compile the best songs of one of the best DJs ever. If you're a big fan, there's not much new here, and those who collect many CDs probably have most if not all of these tracks already. But if you're a big fan, as I am, having the collection "under one roof" is worth the additional cost.

I've been a casual fan of Fatboy Slim for years, but have never delved into their entire body of work. However, since I picked up this CD, I've become addicted. Why Try Harder is a great into to Fatboy Slim. Give it a try, and I'm sure you'll love it too. BTW - the new track "That Old Pair of Jeans" is the best FBS track yet.
