This just about has the Gurus covered.

Even though I do have a few HG albums, i always seem to put this one on, I think there perhaps one of those rare bands where the singles really are the best songs from the album plus as corny as it may sound its a good happy album hard to feel down when you put this on....recommended to anyone who's not a huge fan of the band but want some of there stuff in your collection.

All metal fans have some sort of 'compromise' CDs in their collection, whether it be for their partner, parents, children, a combination, or just because they like them!
Australian rock is one of my 'weaknesses'
The Hoodoo Gurus were a great band that put out plenty of great singles, and this CD drags them altogether onto one compilation. You can't argue with the quality of the tracks here, unless you just aren't a fan.
Australian rock bands of the 80's generally grew out of the same swamp as those of the 70's, and all hold their place in music history. The Hoodoo's are one of the best of them, and this album showcases why.

Rating : A favourite from the 80's before metal took over. 4/5.

Somehow the Gurus remind me a lot of a weak, non-political Midnight Oil. I find their brand of college rock to be really fucking boring. I guess this would be okay background noise at a party, but I only really like one track on this collection ("Come Anytime"). I definitely don't intend on delving in to their catalog and would only recommend it for people who enjoy mundaneness.

Great collection of genre-defining surf rock from the 80s. A must have for any Aussie rock fan.
