I was amazed by how cool the song by Beck is, it is amazing, plus the Brian Wilson and Brian Setzer pairing was great, that track really rocks. What is really cool about this album is that there is something for everyone on it.

Compilations are always iffy things, but this one is so willfully weird you've got to give it credit...ending with a hilariously straight-faced new surf-tune from Chris Isaak (shades of Nick Rivers from "Top Secret", including spoken word bridge), "MOM 3" has a diverse a roster (James Taylor and Snoop Dogg on the same CD!!!)......a lot of good tracks, a few negligible items as well, but by owning this CD which mixes hip-hop, folk, funk, etc., you can impress your friends with your diverse attitudes, even if in secret you program out half the tracks!

What about the Whale Song!?!? Pearl Jam!? Pearl Jam RULES

As an enormous Pearl Jam fan I bought this mostly for their contribution, Whale Song (a much more interesting piece than Gremmie from MOM I) but was pleased with Snoop and Rage (member's)tune, JKay's, James Taylor's, and Jimmy Buffet's (who I usually do not like). I could have done without Smashmouth and McCartney on this record, though. The Beasties contibution is all punk, and there are a good number of covers twentysomethings like me would recognize. Worth it.

I've been waiting two years for the Snoop & Rage track to be released, and I definitely believe that it is one of the coolest songs of the past few years. Though Zach de la Rocha is quite amazing, he had better watch out, as Snoop does a great job fronting the RATM music (no worries). If you like this song/style, check out Dial-7 (an LA band w/ two rappers fronting a rock trio). I saw them live at South By Southwest and bought their CD immediately; since then, I never see it, as my friends are constantly borrowing it.

This is a wonderful cd! This unique collection of songs from talented artists makes it truly special!

this cd is awesome. great songs from many cool bands. best songs from pearl jam and red hot chili peppers

The version of Little Deuce Coupe with Brian Setzer is a lot of fun, and I really like Chris Isaak's Winter Waves. It's Isaak doing what he does best. The song has a spoken bridge, but it's not corny by any means. It would fit very nicely onto Chris's Baja Sessions album; it has that kind of relaxed feel. It's a short little ditty, but I like it a lot. Lisa Loeb's song Summer is also a good one. And Beck's song is super catchy!

On the other hand, the stuff by Lit, Everclear, Jane's Addiction, and Smash Mouth are all horrible. A lot of throwaway noise.

Definitely a mixed bag, with a few gems.

this cd seems like it is going to be very good and the brian wilson and jane addiction are good the snoop is ok the pearl jam is terrible and the rest is just ok all and all forget this cd
