Free Music Notes for Ultimate Collection

Free Music Review: Underrated but highly recommended
Hit: 5 Stars

It's a shame that the band didn't get the widespread love it deserved, because Y&T lead guitarist (and singer) Dave Meniketti should have a place in the pantheon of guitar gods. He shreds, but does so with great precision and invention. It makes me want to pick up my guitar and jam every time I hear him. And his singing is very competent... perhaps not as stylized or strong as some, but nonetheless solid. And the band around him is tight and talented.

For some reason, Y&T didn't hit as big as other bands with amazing guitarists (Dokken, Dio, Ozzy, Scorpions) or mediocre guitarists (Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Quiet Riot, Twisted Sister). Timing? I know it's not because of content... the songs on this cd can stand right up there with all those bands.

For me, "Mean Streak" justifies purchase of the cd on its own... great riff, solo, and memorable chorus. Other highlights are "Hurricane," "Midnight in Tokyo," and "Black Tiger". If you've come this far in viewing this page, chances are you'll love this cd... so buy it! And then pick up "Mean Streak", "Earthshaker" and the exceptional "Yesterday & Today Live"... great stuff.
