This double-CD set presents a real conundrum, on a lot of levels. For starters, on its face, 55 songs may well seem like overkill to the casual fan who only knows or remembers (or thinks they only remember) five or six big hits by Paul Revere & the Raiders. And there are more modest single-CD collections to be found on this band that seem less daunting Continue reading “Paul Revere & Raiders – The Legend of Paul Revere (1990)”

Released to celebrate the 30th anniversary of George Thorogood & the Destroyers — their first album may not have come out until 1977, but they cut their first sessions in 1974 — Capitol’s Greatest Hits: 30 Years of Rock was designed to replace 1992’s The Baddest of George Thorogood and the Destroyers as the band’s definitive single-disc overview. Considering that the 1992 disc is out of print (as is the exhaustive and exhausting 1997 double-disc set Anthology), this does indeed stand as the best compilation currently in print Continue reading “George Thorogood & The Destroyers – Greatest Hits: 30 Years Of Rock (2004)”

Though they may not have possessed the hip cachet of The Beach Boys or The Byrds, this California combo (led by vocalists Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman, a.k.a. Flo and Eddie) were one of the most consistently satisfying, inventive and subversive American pop acts of the ’60s. Shimmering and infectious hits like “Happy Together,” “Elenore,” “You Baby,” “She’d Rather Be with Me,” and their impassioned rendering of Bob Dylan’s, “It Ain’t Me, Babe,” remain some of the era’s loveliest pop-rock tunes Continue reading “The Turtles – 20 Greatest Hits (1984)”
