Weird Al Yankovic - 1988 - Greatest Hits

Weird Al Yankovic - 1988 - Greatest Hits @ 320

Though 1989's Greatest Hits only covers the first half of "Weird Al" Yankovic's career, it features some of his best work, with classics such as "Eat It," "Fat," and "I Lost on Jeopardy" chief among its highlights. The collection takes a fairly even amount from each of Yankovic's early albums -- Weird Al Yankovic, In 3-D, Dare to Be Stupid, Polka Party!, and Even Worse -- gathering "Like a Surgeon," "Living With a Hernia," and "Ricky" in one place. The small, parody-heavy track-listing may disappoint die-hard Yankovic fans; indeed, some of his original work from In 3-D is better than a few of the parodies that wound up on the collection, and it seems that by 1989 Yankovic deserved to have at least a dozen songs on his greatest hits album. Regardless, Greatest Hits is still the a great introduction to his brand of musical humor. (AllMusic)
