Customer reviews:  It's always nice to remember Friends!, 2008-06-02
I bought this album a couple months after it came out as one of my ten free album choices with my commitment to Columbia House. The act of listening to an entire album, track by track, isn't as well practiced as it was in the days when this soundtrack came out. Today most of us listen with iPods and randomized playlists. When I first got an mp3 player back in 2004, I started going through my CD collection, which, with the burning of each track to hard drive, became more and more obsolete.
Among them was the "Friends" soundtrack, which I hadn't listened to in years. It qualified to be one of the more interesting curiosities from the past decade that this new technology helped me revisit. Upon listening to the disc each hilarious scene, deep Proustian nostalgia set in. This was my madeleine cake and tea!
It allowed me to so vividly reimagine scenes like Joey confessing to being Al Pacino's "Butt Double," and helped me revisit such great music like The Pretenders' cover of "Angel of the Morning" (which is sung best by Chrissie Hynde, hands down!), Toad the Wet Sprocket's "Good Intentions," and so many more. More than that, it reminded me of everything about those days on the mid 90s. All the stupid things I did in grade school, all the hubbub about Prop 187, "Forrest Gump," the Unabomber, and everything in between.
Every time one of these tracks come up in the shuffle, I get the same feeling of nostalgia and amusement as a short scene plays at the beginning or end of a song. Most definitely a must buy for any Friends fan, lover of good music (not one track is disappointing!), and anyone with fond memories of the early and mid 90s!
 both friends soundtracks, 2006-04-15
i was looking to purshase both friends soundtracks, friends and friends again, therefore i read the song lists for both of them. I was disappointed to see that THE Ross and Rachel song, U2 With or Without you was not on either nor was Joey and Chandler's song All by Myself. The last song in the first series, from the episidode The One Where Rachel Finds Out was not on there either. As i am a huge friends fan i looked up the song which plays while Ross and Rachel kiss in Central Perk in The One Where Ross Finds Out only to find it is not an actual single. Despite this, it would have been nice to hear it on one of them, as it is one of the highest rated episodes.
After listening to the second one, Friends Again, I thought the last 2 songs weren't worthy enough to be on it.
After seeing these and reading other reviews, I have decided not to buy either. biggest friends fan ever!
