Free Music Notes for The '60s: Original NBC Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: Like the overhyped mini-series,this cd is just *o.k.*.....
Hit: 3 Stars
It really should have been a two-cd set. Enjoyed hearing "We Can Change The World" (G. Nash), "Somebody To Love" (Jefferson Airplane)and, especially,"The Weight" (The Band),which,for me,has an ethereal,hypnotizing harmonic quality that transports me immediately back to '68 and harkens to some of the "unplugged" approaches artists (such as Eric Clapton)have recently done.One track I was surprised didn't make it was Scott McKenzie's "San Francisco",which was essentially a lyrical invitation to the flower children, presaging the "Summer of Love" in 1967.
Free Music Review: Not bad for a TV Movie Soundtrack
Hit: 3 Stars
The track listing for "The 60's" is a pretty fair representation of the incredibly vast and varied styles of pop/rock music that evolved during the decade. In response to "A music fan from Connecticut", with all due respect, Polygram might have chosen not to pay the license fees for groups like the Beatles, the Stones and even Bob Dylan, which is probably why Dylan recorded a tune specifically for the series (which, by the way, cannot be found anywhere else but this soundtrack). Over all, for a single CD compilation, it sounds pretty good.Free Music Review: Well thought out, but missing more
Hit: 3 Stars
As was said below, I think that this CD is missing some of the great songs that highlighted the decade. Although I may only be 14, I think most (maybe all) of the music I've heard from the 60s is better than what we have today. I agree, we need more beatles, but not everything could be compiled on one disc. I think this disc would be a great thing for people to explore with. If they saw the show, and wanted to hear more, they should get this disc. It may lead them to other albums from that time, and expand their music appreciation as a wholeFree Music Review: 3 Stars at best, barely above 2.
Hit: 3 Stars
It is obvious that this soundtrack was put together by the same bunch of consultants that provide the play lists containing the same 90 or 100 songs we have to listen to day in and day out from every oldies station in the country. Of all the music that came out in the sixties, it would have been nice if these people had taken the time to dig just a little deeper and find some real gems. Where is Country Joe and the Fish, or Arlo Guthrior even Ray Stevens? As usual, Network TV missed the boat on this one.Free Music Review: This isn't a sound track...
Hit: 3 Stars
This isn't a soundtrack... Honestly, I don't know what it is. It does have several good songs on it, but it didn't even scratch the surface of the amount of songs the miniseries had. Though I like "Chicago / Change The World", and some of the others, I was really disapointed that "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield wasn't included. Anyway, if you haven't seen the movie, you may not mind the lack of 3/4 the songs, but it truly is a lacking CD...
