3.0 out of 5 stars 1000 years?, December 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mtv First 1000 Years: Rock (Audio CD)

Why does a compilation CD consisting entirely of music from the past 15 years claim to cover 1000? - I can't wait till this millenium nonsense ends.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Thoughtless and Random attempt at compilation, June 28, 2001

Admittedly, this album is not trying to document the history of rock. Instead, it's trying to generate some afterglow and some profits from a truly collection of media friendly bands that have shaped MTV over the past 15 years. The problem lies in the execution. Instead of bothering to think about their music selection and choose musical or visual pioneers, they seem to have chosen random tunes out of the first box they came across. This set lacks unity, passion, and most of all, meaning. You're better off finding your old "mix tapes" than bothering with this happenstance collection of tunes.

1.0 out of 5 stars Quite possibly the worst rock compilation ever!, March 4, 2001

Why was this made? This sums up rock terribly and is a disgraceful attempt by MTV. They put some completely terrible music on here that I don't think anyone wants to remember!! Why is The Cult, Jesus Jones, Faith No More, and INXS on here? Those songs are terrible!!!!! There is no representation of any grudge,(except Candelbox which is the worst grudge band without question)punk, or metal. Of all that they had to chose from this is absolutely horrible! And the last track by The Pretenders, should not be on their for any reason! How about Led Zepplin or The Who? MTV has lost all of my respect, do not buy this album!!!!
