Eclectic mix for an eclectic collector
on July 28, 2017

If you are looking for a wide range of rock songs from the past 40 years or so and across various genres (pop, folk, new wave, hard rock), then try this on for size. Careful that you look at both the artists AND songs, and make sure that you are getting what you want. many of the songs listed here were not previously in my collection, and perhaps that is why i bought it. Hidden gems are sometimes the best things to find.

Still not a player

When most people think of notable 90's R&B singers, Joe is left off many lists. "Love Scene" is a classic and his music tends to stray toward the slower stuff so sample the songs first before purchasing.

90's R&b staple
on July 21, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Since Best Buy has yet to upload the image here, I presume this is Ginuwine. Whether a slow song or fast one, the dude had the chops to pull it of. As for the image, you can cross-reference Allmusic or Amazon to make sure you are getting the right artist collection.

A cappella lives in this collection
on July 21, 2017
Posted by: BarrioBoy
Verified Purchase:Yes
For my money, the best doo wop compilation when you consider the amount of songs, the quality of songs chosen and, of course, the price. My doo wop collection has steadily increased recently and this acquisition helps greatly. As always, preview the songs's clips (media player) prior to buying. The method is not full-proof but it sure does help. And beware of any CD cover that states: "New recordings from the original artists." That is a red flag.

Don't skip the unfamiliar songs
on July 21, 2017
Posted by: BarrioBoy
Verified Purchase:Yes
Personally, I am OK if a compilation this size throws in some non-singles from popular artists. I get introduced to a whole new avenue and perhaps a song I really like. Plus, it's 100 songs...you can live with a few surprises. This CD stands out because it gives you pop, new wave and even some R&B. Enjoy the diversity and son't skip the unknowns. As always, preview the songs's clips (media player) prior to buying. The method is not full-proof but it sure does help. And beware of any CD cover that states: "New recordings from the original artists." That is a red flag.

Appreciating music from before my time
on July 21, 2017
Posted by: BarrioBoy
Verified Purchase:Yes
When they say "rock n roll," they are talking about the roots of the genre here. Heavy on the 50's, this collection will stand up well with the other compilations you may have from that time period. It also has a nice mix of artists as well. As always, preview the songs's clips (media player) prior to buying. The method is not full-proof but it sure does help. And beware of any CD cover that states: "New recordings from the original artists." That is a red flag.

A few misses but great overall
on July 21, 2017
Posted by: BarrioBoy
Verified Purchase:Yes
Honestly, I could have done without Mambo No. 5 and Macarena, but the vast majority of this CD is solid. again, re-check the artists' names and not just the song title. There are some versions here that may not meet your expectations. Of course, it's 100 songs...so that makes up for some disappointments. As always, preview the songs's clips (media player) prior to buying. The method is not full-proof but it sure does help. And beware of any CD cover that states: "New recordings from the original artists." That is a red flag.

A bit misleading...but a solid choice
on July 21, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you want to slow dance the night away, this CD is not for you. But the songs are great nevertheless. A good mix of decades as well as artists (rock and pop represented well). As always, preview the songs's clips (media player) prior to buying. The method is not full-proof but it sure does help. And beware of any CD cover that states: "New recordings from the original artists." That is a red flag.

Can't get enough Motown
on July 21, 2017
Posted by: BarrioBoy
Verified Purchase:Yes
Sure, I have numerous CDs that revolve around Motown, but I saw this one and I just had to have it. The best part is that there are artists included here outside of the perfunctory Supremes, Wonder, Gaye, etc. As always, preview the songs's clips (media player) prior to buying. The method is not full-proof but it sure does help. And beware of any CD cover that states: "New recordings from the original artists." That is a red flag.

One of the better 80's compilations
on July 21, 2017
Posted by: BarrioBoy
Verified Purchase:Yes
Oftentimes, compilations that are this large include non-descript artists with even more obscure singles. This one, however, provides some classic songs along with some hidden gems from well-known artists. As always, preview the songs's clips (media player) prior to buying. The method is not full-proof but it sure does help. And beware of any CD cover that states: "New recordings from the original artists." That is a red flag.
