I've listened to this disk about 30 times, which is rare. The diversity of the music represented here is so interesting that the disk itself represents an art form. The only one that really doesn't sparkle is track 20, Ocean Warriors. It sounds like "Ocean Worriers", and makes me laugh every time I listen to it. Contrast that with Jewel's smoking version of V-12 Cadillac, or Dick Dale's surf guitar in track 2, and then add the humor of Barflies at the beach, and you've got a tremendously listenable disk. Just skip one track!

I Bought this CD for the Jimmy Buffett single alone, but found it to have a lot of great songs! A MUST have for anybody that likes unique and fun tunes!

I picked this up a few days ago, and was a bit undewhelmed by it. While the comp is fun, its a little too eclectic to be a cohesive release. The tracks generally don't seem to flow well(Jewel transitioning into the Bosstones just doesn't work for me) The cd is, however, a gold mine of B-sides, so if your a nerd like me, the one rare track by a favorite band is worth the low cost of the compilation. Strongest track for me was Paddle Out by Sublime. Not rare, but its sticks with me. the weakest track was the abomination of a Beach Boys' song.

One word describes this CD and that is Astounding. All the songs are great, and some our very intersting. This is one of the best Cds I own. My favorite of course is Summer in Paradise by The Beach Boys. The lyrics are what we are living with now.

Please read these lryics as, we need to speak up and speak out about our world and our enviorment.
"Remeber WE are the enviorment"
Thanks and please purchase this CD!!

Way back when well our master plan
Was havin' fun fun fun as America's band
Well we came out rockin' with Rhonda and Barbara ann.
Singin' of surf and sand

Now when we look back over all the fun we had
If our lifestyle's over now it sure is sad
We gotta get back to livin' without a care
Give me sunshine water and an ozone layer

Paradise is a state of mind
Where mother nature nurtures and man is kind
We need a change now wouldn't it be nice
If we could bring back summer

Get us back our summer
Summer in paradise
(paradise)
Summer in paradise (paradise)

They chop down the forests
And in their haste leave a trail of destruction
And toxic waste is leavin' no one safe
In their home or their habitat
Can't let it go like that

Too much consumption and too much greed
When you consider all the people
That are livin' in need
Interdependence in this world is a natural fact
And we're all under attack

It's the eve of destruction or so they say
But mankind doesn't have to go that way
If we all get together we can make things right
And we can bring back summer
(chorus)

Everybody knows that you reap what you sew
all they way from california to kokomo
We're gonna keep on rockin'
And raisin' world consciousness
We gotta fix this mess

Looked in the future and what i saw
Was a world in harmony with natural law
Singing with the whales and the birds up high


Bring back summer
Get us back our summer
Summer in paradise

(paradise)
Summer in paradise (paradise ( Summer in paradise (paradise)
Summer in paradise (paradise)
Summer in paradise

Awesome CD! Although I've had it for years I just realized that Offspring's Dirty Magic is actually a song called Get It Right. Dirty Magic is a completely different song. Weird...

this album is for anyone who love to relax one second, then be blown away the next one each and every track on this album will make you think and moby's song will almost make you flip out all in alll this is a perfect album that everybody should pick up you will be pleased

This is a great cd. The only suggestion i have is that Jewel's track be taken off so you could listen to the whole thing without skipping a single song. Otherwise, its verry good.

A lot of good artists on one great album
