What makes VH1 Behind the Music: Go-Go's Collection by The Go-Go's notable?

The album not only features chart-topping singles but also reflects the Go-Go's influence on subsequent female rock artists. Their song 'We Got the Beat' remains a defining anthem of the genre, while the compilation itself was part of VH1's successful series that celebrated influential musicians, further cementing their legacy. Released in 2000, this compilation showcases the Go-Go's greatest hits during their peak years in the early '80s. By this time, they were already recognized as pioneers of the new wave and punk rock scenes, having achieved significant commercial success with albums like 'Beauty and the Beat' (1981). The collection highlights their impact on pop culture as one of the first all-female bands to write their own songs and play their instruments.
