Amazon.co.uk Review
The definitive 1990s boyband, Take That may have set the blueprint for a million copycat groups since--Five, Boyzone, Backstreet Boys--but they had an all-important advantage right from the start: bucketloads of fantastic pop songs. In terms of sheer quantity alone, their chart successes racked up more sales than any other British artist since the Beatles, and this IGreatest Hits/I package has them all, including "Relight My Fire", "Back For Good" and "Pray", spanning an impressive eight number ones in five years. From the hi-energy rush of "It Only Takes A Minute Girl" to the smoochy "A Million Love Songs" to Mark Owen's heartfelt rendition of "Babe", it is a well-trodden wander down memory lane, but the impeccably polished production and Barlow's relentless ear for a catchy tune ensure it's a highly entertaining one.

Re-living my teenage years February 23, 2005

TT were the orginial british boyband and influenced many other acts although few have been as successful as TT. pI spent the weeks leading up to my 12th birthday begging my parents to buy me 'Take That Party'. 13 years on, I still know all the lyrics off by heart and I'm still in lust with Robbie. pSince I bought this CD a few years ago, it has remained in my CD player in the kitchen so whenever I'm doing grown up stuff, I can switch it on and be a teenager again. pThis is a must for anyone who bought a TT album - even if its only to replace the worn out cassettes and have a good sing.
For any true Take That fan!! October 5, 2005

I fancied returning to my youth (and im only 19!) and brought Take That greatest Hits. Take That were HUGE when i was younger and i wasn't disapointed when i recived this album as it had all the big hits i could remember. "Everything Changes", "Relight My Fire" and "Sure" all features on this record plus many many more. I'd recomend it to any true take that fan for a night of a good old boogie!

Best Boyband Ever... December 31, 2003
10 out of 13 found this review helpful
Take That were definately the best boyband ever. In comparison to the boy and girl bands of today, TT actually wrote the majority of their music themselves. They didn't take themselves seriously and were a breath of fresh air. Today, boybands either knock out power ballads that sound exactly the same (i.e. Westlife) or faux-R'n'B whilst trying to be cool (i.e. Blue). Not that I'm knocking Westlife or Blue, I own albums by both bands but TT were far superior.pTT's Greatest Hits is a fantastic buy, and has songs on it for every mood. My personal favourites are 'Never Forget' (made more sad when it was released shortly after Robbie left) and 'Back For Good'.pBTW, if you were wondering what the guys are up to:brRobbie - I think we all know what he's up to!brGary - Writes music for other artists (recently co-wrote the song 'Guilty' by Blue)brMark - Attempting a comeback, won Celebrity Big Brother in November 2002brHoward - Is DJingbrJason - Not sure what he's up to, but I think acting.

By the time this group started on their successful career, I had given up on music radio, but there is some music that you can't avoid hearing, even if you want to. So it was that I eventually realized that Take That made some great music. They never made it in America, though they might have done had they stayed together a bit longer. Gary Barlow was the lead singer and primary songwriter but his subsequent solo career has been much less successful - unlike Robbie Williams, one of the other group members, who has become a hugely popular solo singer.pTake That had eight British number one hits including Back for good, which gave them an American top ten hit a few months before they disbanded. Their other UK number ones were Pray, Relight my fire (a cover of a Dan Hartman song featuring Lulu as guest vocalist), Babe, Everything changes, Sure, Never forget and How deep is your love (a Bee Gees cover). They had several other UK top ten hits including covers of Could it be magic (Barry Manilow) and It only takes a minute (Tavares) with the former featuring Robbie Williams as lead singer - a rarity on Take That recordings.pIf you buy this because Robbie Williams was a group member, you may be disappointed since he rarely sings lead. I, on the other hand, you are looking for simple, mainstream pop music, superbly performed, you might enjoy the music of Take That.
