121. Y&T / The Best Of Y&T (1981-1985). 1990. 4/5.

Here is another Best Of that was released when there were more albums to come from the band – but here they got it spot on.
No one could deny that Y&T's glory days were between the years of 1981 and 1985, and this collection captures the best that the band released.
You can choose your own favourites out of those on the album sleeve. I loved the album Mean Streak, and all the songs on it. Mean Streak, Midnight In Tokyo, Hang 'Em High, Hurricane and Black Tiger probably classify as my favourites from this collection.

Good albums were still to come – 1987's Contagious is another of my favourites – but certainly the best they came up with finds itself here in the glory years of the early-to-mid-80's.

Rating : An excellent collection that shows off the best that this band could produce. 4/5.
