20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: The Best of Mötley Crüe

Released7 October 2003
Popularity17.1

This budget-priced compilation, part of the long-running 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection series, came out on 7 October 2003. It gathers highlights from the career of Mötley Crüe, the Hollywood band formed in 1981 by bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee, with guitarist Mick Mars and singer Vince Neil joining straight afterwards.

It's a handy way in to a band whose story runs from the hard rock and metal of Too Fast for Love and Shout at the Devil, through the glam metal of Theatre of Pain, to Dr. Feelgood in 1989, their only studio album to reach number one in the US. Mötley Crüe have sold over 100 million records, and a single-disc round-up like this suits anyone wanting the essentials before digging into the full albums.
