Though it may not seem like much time, the five short years during which they recorded for
A&M Records marked the most consistent period of
Y&T's unfortunate career. And though they would sign a new contract with
Geffen thereafter, their subsequent, glam-drenched efforts would prove even less inspired. So while hardly all encompassing,
Best of Y&T (1981-1985) will satisfy the curious fan better than any other package, save perhaps for the their excellent live album,
Open Fire. The band's drab studio technique notwithstanding, tracks like
"Open Fire," "Hurricane," "Mean Streak," and
"I Believe in You" make a strong, cohesive statement about the group's songwriting, if not their performance.
