5.0 out of 5 stars This CD Rocks if you like rock., January 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Frat Rock: More 70's (Audio CD)

Frat rock is a great CD. It's got some of the greatest hits from the 70's. Moreso, the bands on Frat Rock aren't the Led Zepplins, the Lynyrd Skynyrds and the Pink Floyds who all have enough hits to make two or more box sets, but these are the bands and artists who had one or two Huge hits in the 70's. People like Joe Walsh, Deep Purple and Foghat, and whoever the heck wrote Radar Love. It Ranks right up there with the Dazed and Confused Soundtracks as an ultimate collection of 70's rock. As a DJ, it is one of the most useful CD's in my collection. It's a great buy and you won't be sorry.

FRAT ROCK: MORE OF THE 70S-VARIOUS ARTISTS:

Like FRAT ROCK/THE 70s, this follow up has only a tentative link to the actual subject matter; both are unnecessary sequels to Rhino Records' original, authentic FRAT ROCK series of wild RNB-injected party makers of the 60s. Even so, I relish semi-obscure treats like the Kinks' bushy-tailed SLEEPWALKER and Detroit Wheels spin-off band the Rockets' revved up rendering of early Fleetwood mac bloozer OH WELL. After this handful of underplayed beauties, it's strictly "classic rock weekend" time, with ultra-obvious offerings from Deep Purple ("Duh, duh, duh...duh, duh, DUH-duh..."), Gary Glitter (the "HEY" song, football-heads), and Joe Walsh's peerless ode to rock star excess LIFE'S BEEN GOOD. And what in the name of Karaoke is Bonnie Tyler's IT'S A HEARTACHE doin' on this list, anyhoo? Since it's the last number, one assumes the compilers at Rhino had one too many Old Milwaukees while getting into the spirit of things. Any semi-sober air guitarist with a CD burner and a half decent record collection could come up with a modern day toga party soundtrack better than this! Here's MY list:

LUST FOR LIFE-IGGY POP
HOUSE PARTY-J. GEILS BAND
KINGS OF THE PARTY-BROWNSVILLE STATION
MOVE IT ON OVER-GEORGE THOROGOOD
SHERRY DARLING-BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
MAMA WEER ALL CRAZEE NOW-SLADE
BIG TEN INCH-AEROSMITH
ROCK & ROLL THE PLACE-EDDIE MONEY
WANGO TANGO-TED NUGENT
WHAT YOU GOT-DUKE & THE DRIVERS

Whew! All that thinkin's made me thirsty!...
