Not a bad collection of 70's stuff, every song on this CD will be pleasing to the ear. Boston, Santana, ELO and others are represented as well as many other groups. If you are into the music of the 70's then this will fullfill all your expectations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Collection!, May 19 2002

If you're like me and don't own all of the original (albums!) tapes from these bands, then you'll love this CD. I often try to find classic rock compilations that have REALLY good songs on them, but most of the time I only like about 4 or 5 songs on any one collection. Not so with this CD! I snapped this one up because I totally enjoy every one of these songs. And several of these bands were one or two hit wonders, so why buy the band's whole tape in order to get one or two songs? Okay, so I'm not a die hard fan. Whether you have the original tapes or not, you'll like the variety and awesome guitar on this collection of classic 70's rock.

5.0 out of 5 stars No wonder K-Tel went bankrupt, Mar 5 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of 70s Supergroups (Audio CD)

Wow! That's about all I can say here. This indispensable 5-star gem kicks off with the MIT-grad bad boys of Boston rocking the house with More Than A Feeling, introducing to us for the first time!!! the same guitar riff they would beat senseless over the next fifteen years and countless comeback albums and tours. It's one thing to have an MIT pedigree, quite another to get a job at Hewlett Packard when all you have on your resume is "play guitar."

Then we get "Evil Woman," or should I say "E-E-vil Woman," the first smash hit from borderline werewolf Jeff Lynne and crew. Clearly incensed that the Bee Gees sold more albums in the 70s, after a few buttons of peyote one night Mr. Lynne vowed to grow his hair taller, wider and longer than Barry Gibb, and as this song amply shows, when anger like that is channeled properly, one starts humming "Staying Alive" whether he wants to or not.

Then Styx paddled onto the scene, bringing with them their big hit often mistaken for Christopher Cross's big hit. There is very little that can be said about Come Sail Away, and I'm not about to try.

Luckily, right when you have the razor blades ready over your wrists, BTO pounds their way onto the CD, saving the day with one of the true rock anthems of the 70s, right up there with Rock n Roll All Night and Show Me The Way. If you don't know who performed those two songs, then you shouldn't be buying this CD. As David Crosby has said, if you didn't spend the 70s drying out and seeking organ replacements while peddling your works to corporate America, well then laddie, I guess you just missed the 60s altogether.

I could go on and on, but Amazon only allows 1000 words and I am too lazy to count. Perhaps others can fill in for tracks 5-14, but 1-4 alone make this CD worth having in your collection. Big Tone says make a spot this baby, even if you have to chuck that American Graffiti soundtrack or one of your Beach Boy CDs!
