Playlist: The Very Best of Bowling for Soup in Bloomington, MN

Playlist
is the first
Bowling for Soup
compilation and it does its job so well there may not be a need for another. On this 14-cut collection, every one of the group's hits are chronicled --
"Girl All the Bad Guys Want,"
"Ohio (Come Back to Texas),"
the nostalgic wallop of
"1985"
and
"High School Never Ends"
-- and they're supported in equal measure by modern power ballads and pop-punk, making for a good, representative overview of the group's peak years. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
