I bought this CD, having been lead to it by the links from Matthew Sweet and Velvet Crush, and am now physically incapable of removing it from my car CD player. I don't generally buy compilations or soundtracks due to the uneven quality, but this disc is amazingly consistent in quality, while showcasing a variety of bands and styles. High points for me - Gigolo Aunts,Wondermints, and Velocity Girl..

Every now and then I need to find some new bands, and this album was just the thing. Lot's of great bands. I've found a bunch of new favorites in here and picked up a bunch of new CDs based on this album. If you are bored of your current music collection and are looking for some new CDs to add to your collection, then buy this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the best acts of the decade!, January 23, 2001

I recently bought this CD, and I am definitely not disappointed! Matthew Sweet and Jellyfish are two of the best acts ever, and I love the cuts by the Lemonheads, Wondermints, and Gigolo Aunts. But the highlight for me is "Same Thing" by the Grays, a great band whose excellent first and only album, "Ro Sham Bo" (sp) is sadly unavailable...I've been desperately trying to find a copy for a fellow fan whose copy was lost, but it seems to no longer be in print. This album is an excellent addition to my collection that will be living in my CD deck from now on!
