Free Music Review: You Gotta Be A Romantic...
Hit: 4 Stars
...or a sucker for love songs done well to get into The Association.Forget about that pretentious "Requiem for the Masses" and that blatant attempt to cash in on the Summer of Love, "Enter the Young". Listen to those ballads. You know which ones...
How can you not find "What makes you think love will end when you know that my whole life depends on you?" compelling...? Or "I'm beginning to think that man has never found the words that could make you want me..." something you wished you'd said to your woman? Co'mon! You gotta listen and feel what the dudes are singing about...
The lyrics, the harmonies, the great Bones Howe (and the Wrecking Crew) production are the ingredients to these great ballads which always capture my attention. And I ain't necessarily one who waxes nostalgic over evry Oldies jam I hear. I like what I like. And a good song is a good song....well, mebbe like I've said elsewhere, I am a fool for great tunes...
Free Music Review: not bad, but...
Hit: 3 Stars
if you're an aging boomer looking for a quick trip down memory lane, go for it. but if you hunger for a thicker slice of one of the most under-rated pop groups of all time, pick up the import collection of their greatest hits -- if only because it contains the original version of "enter the young." the version on this disc is a lame re-mix that fails to capture the driving energy of the original -- a song that led off side one of this group's terrific, but mysteriously-out-of-print first album, "along comes...the association."Free Music Review: Review
Hit: 5 Stars
These are great oldies. I like some oldies like The Beatles, Simon And Garfunkel, The Grateful Dead, etc. and this is a great oldies album. The best song has to be Windy. Whoever gives this album three stars or below has to be out of their mind! This album is awesome! I got it at a concert with The Association and The Turtles and I have to say The Association were the highlight of the concert. All the songs are five stars on this album. It's not an album where who have to keep skipping to a favorite track and hitting repeat on you're cd player. If you like oldies or rock and roll then buy this album. If you don't, still buy this album. It is an album for the ages. Well, I got to go listen to it. Bye! And buy this album because you won't regret it at all. Take my word for it!Free Music Review: a nice change of pace
Hit: 4 Stars
Fans of oldies radio (myself included) have a soft spot for well produced soft pop rock like this.You must have heard "Cherish" at every wedding banquet you've ever been to.A class act,great for summer nights.Free Music Review: Not Nearly Enough
Hit: 4 Stars
I'll say what everyone else has been saying-- Why, oh WHY, are this band's first seven studio albums (as well as Russ Giguere's fine solo album) not in print? The Association has clearly been neglected-- not only by their label but also the voting committee for the rock'n'roll hall of fame, who have mysteriously never nominated this group whose recordings have been played OVER TEN MILLION TIMES! This hits package is adequate, but if you haven't heard "One Too Many Mornings", "Looking Glass", "Pandora's Golden Heebie Jeebies", "Goodbye Forever", "Dubuque Blues" or "Silver Morning" (none of which are included here) you are sadly missing out on some of the GREATEST POP SONGS OF ALL TIME. At the very least, we should demand an updated greatest hits anthology that's AT LEAST 74 minutes long.
