This CD is totally awesome. I got it for the soul purpose of Electric Prunes' song I had too much to dream last night. I found out that out of 18 songs, 16 are the best songs I/ve ever heard from the sixties. The Chambers Brothers' Time has come today is one of my fave's from this CD. There is a slight handicap on this album, numbers 9 and 10 are switched. This CD captures the great sounds of `60's punk rock and pshychedelic inspired rythm

Now this is one of the better of the "Nuggets" selections, with 9 certifiable national hits out of 18 tunes. A few are out-and-out psychadelic one-hit classics, like the Electric Prunes' "I Had Too Much To Dream", or the Strawberry Alarm Clock's "Incense and Peppermints". But some of the better tunes, like the Chambers Brothers' great "Time Has Come Today" come from groups whose entire catalog is worth having- "Time" is from an album that also features their version of the great Curtis Mayfield tune, "People Get Ready", "Midnight Hour" and more.

On the whole, though, this is a good selection of 60s rock and pop with very few exceptions (what is that silly Dino, Desi and Billy track doing here?) that would serve as a good introduction for younger listeners curious as to what Mom and Dad (or maybe Grandma and Granddad) were freaking out to back in the old days.

I have this CD and this box set and when ever I want to move around the room, they fill up the CD player. Of course, it was really hard for me to use CD and player instead of album and stereo. It's lots of fun

For all you metal heads! If you want to hear fantastic guitar check this out. I am 39. Born in 63 this album was recorded in 73 and to date I have not heard to many albums (or CD's) that can come close to the true nature of rock'n'roll. Again the title is "rock'n'roll animal". DON'T LET THE COVER FOOL YOU.
