Hit: 5 Stars
Chart Toppers: Rock Hits of the 60s gives us a budget priced CD with fifteen great tunes from the 1960s. This is sure to bring back memories for those of us who first heard these tunes on the radio; and anyone wanting a good sampling of great 1960s music should check out this CD.
The Kinks start it off with a bang as they do their "You Really Got Me." The electric guitars work great and the percussion works well. They don't miss a note! I like the minor keys they use for "You Really Got Me." Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride" really rocks with that `60s sound and just a touch of country to spice up the arrangement. Steppenwolf does this really well; and the organ sounds very good, too.
Moreover, listen for "Hang On Sloopy" by The McCoys. This tune has a great beat and it still swings pretty well; the chorus features great harmonizing and the arrangement makes good use of the guitars and the percussion. "Green Onions" by Booker T. & The MG's is easily a major highlight of this album; this is one cool instrumental tune that'll knock your socks off if you haven't heard it already! "Green Onions" has some awesome guitar, too.
"I Fought The Law" is a rocking ballad that tells a cool story done solid by The Bobby Fuller Four; this rockin' ballad relies on the guitars and there's just a twist of country in there to make "I Fought The Law" an even better number!
The Shangri-Las score a goal with their "Leader Of The Pack;" listen for a really cool arrangement! The Turtles do well on their "Happy Together;" this touching rock ballad always pulls at my heartstrings.
The album ends with "The Letter" by The Box Tops. This classic rock ballad is one you just may recognize--it's very good. If you never heard this one before, it's a must have for your collection!
The artwork is excellent; and the quality of the sound is excellent.
Just as they say, the diversity of songs and artists on this CD is incredible--you won't regret this purchase if you want some classic `60s rock.
