The music and dialogue snippets are all from the first season. Some of the music on Friends that I really associate with the show (especially those involving the big Ross & Rachel moments) therefore aren't included. I don't remember, frankly, when some of these songs WERE played - and I know the show pretty well - but they are all good.

I do most of my music listening on my mp3 player during workouts these days, and there are plenty of upbeat songs that I enjoy for that.

One gripe - the dialogue bits are not separate tracks. So, when I did copy some of the music to my mp3 player, I get not only the song, but the dialogue at the end, which is slightly annoying.

If you're a Friends fan, you'll probably enjoy the CD, but just read the playlist before you buy it if you're expecting the later music.

I purchased this CD mainly for the theme song to the television show. It appears twice on the CD, once as it's original version as once on how it appears on TV. It is a good song, but "I Go Blind" is by far the best song. "Big Yellow Taxi" is catchy. But so is "Sexuality", which, though has a great tune, has really cheesey(that's right, I said the word cheesey) lyrics. "You'll Know You Were Loved" is just the opposite-great lyrics but I don't think Lou Reed has a very good voice. "Sunshine" and "Shoe Box" are also good. "Good Intentions" is kind of boring. I really liked the little tansitions between songs that had little bits of the TV show in it. They really give a taste of what the show is like.

the moment i bought this CD, and finished it i realised it was a perpetual must-have, it totally reflects the show and the <> in it.

the clips between the songs are just wonderful and the main song is even better, on't miss it buy it the moment you see it, you won't regret of it.
