4.0 out of 5 stars A VERY DECENT COLLECTION FOR THE PRICE, January 25, 2005

By 

Crabby Apple Mick Lee (INDIANAPOLIS, IN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Classic Rock: Classic Rock (Audio CD)

1970's rock is a vast kettle of stew to dip into; so any one disc is going to leave you wanting. But for just a taste, this one is very good. You could quibble over whether "Grand Hotel" was really the best cut that could have been chosen for Procol Harum would have been better (the live version of "Conquistador" for instance). Or for that matter whether "The Stealer" was the best they could have got from Free (over "All Right Now"?) And certainly "Hypnotized" could have been skipped for anything (I mean anything!) from FLEETWOOD MAC or RUMOURS. But Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way", "Free Bird" from Lynyrd Skynyrd, and "Sugar Magnolia" by the Grateful Dead are solid members of the rock pantheon. But Warner Brothers probably had a number of contract restrictions to deal with; so the collection we have here is the one we're going to get.

The young seeking admission to the sacred brotherhood of 1970's ***ROCK*** (the 1970's had an embarrassing quantity of weenie music) can safely begin here. Close your eyes and imagine sunning yourself some warm Spring afternoon on the college commons, your girlfriend with beautiful long hair by your side, and someone blasting this music from his dorm room for everyone's enjoyment below. It wasn't heaven on earth; but it was alright.

5.0 out of 5 stars This cd dredges up long lost memories of high school pranks, July 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Classic Rock: Classic Rock (Audio CD)

This is a classic cd, bringing back all those long forgotten high school pranks and parties. If you like to relive the past, this one is for you. The track selection could not have been better. My favorite is Sugar Magnolia, but then I'm a Deadhead. I recommend this cd for anyone over the age of thirty who might want to remember what they did in the back seat of Mike's Pinto.
