 | To many, this is what the '60s are all about: classic tunes by the Angels, Marvin Gaye, the Temptations, Lovin' Spoonful, and others. But thankfully, not all the tunes found on The '60s can be heard during our morning-commute radio scans. "Draft Morning" by the Byrds gives this collection a political edginess, and James Brown's "Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud (Part 1)" is a welcome, funky addition. Bob Dylan's collaboration with Joan Osborne on his classic "Chimes of Freedom" is this disc's real gem, a must-have for Dylan connoisseurs. Sure, there are more critically acclaimed collections of '60s music out there--the Nuggets box set and The Big Chill soundtrack are two oft-praised classics--but this disc, if nothing else, contains the best of the bunch. --Jason Verlinde (less)Polygram Records | $37  amazon.com |

|  | Reliving the 1970s has been a lot more fun than living through them. Who remembers the threat of presidential impeachment? Rising gas prices? Hey, wait a minute! Don't worry, in 20 years we'll all be deeply nostalgic for rare Britney Spears B-sides. This collection of memories from that maligned decade sounds pretty good, even if a bit obvious. "Superstition," "What's Going On," "Papa Was a Rolling Stone," and "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Baby" form a solid core of early '70s soul, while Three Dog Night and Free represent white boys attempting to find the groove. There's no such pretense from Cat Stevens, whose "Peace Train" is a sensitive folk number. The only real surprises are Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" and Billy Preston's "Nothin' from Nothin'," as neither is a classic-rock staple. The addition of Blondie's "Heart of Glass" in the definitive disco version is a nice touch. But really, you need an entire multi-CD collection (like those wonders from Time-Life) to do the d...

|  | Produced by Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance), Big Whiskey has been hailed by Rolling Stone as the group’s "heaviest album yet, both musically and emotionally," which went on to note: "Throughout, Carter Beauford beats out elaborate, propulsive groves; bassist Stefan Lessard lays down Flea-style funk bass lines; violinist Boyd Tinsley plays cresting, intense runs; and Matthews mirrors Moore’s saxophone lines with scatlike singing." Billboard , in a cover story on Dave Matthews Band, praised Big Whiskey as "its best album yet… Highlights include the funk-rock rave-up 'Shake Me Like a Monkey,' the stirring ballad 'Lying in the Hands of God,' the swampy rocker 'Alligator Pie (Cockadile),' radio-friendly fare like 'Why I Am,' which features playful horns over a solid rock riff and a hooky chorus, and 'Funny the Way It Is,' which parlays a subtle intro into a soaring, syncopated anthem."

|  | 2009 album from the Denver-based quartet, the follow-up to their enormously successful How To Save A Life.

|  | Even as the Beatles began heading toward an inevitable breakup, their prolific ways continued; this two-disc look back only skims the surface of their later achievements. Excerpts from Sgt. Pepper , Magical Mystery Tour , the white album, Abbey Road , and Let It Be compete for space with classic singles that do as much or more to prove their eclecticism: the epic ballad "Hey Jude," the plaintive "Strawberry Fields Forever," straight rock & roll of all stripes from the plainspoken "Revolution" and "Get Back" to the surreal "Come Together." Decades after the split, this (and its companion set of 1962-1966 cuts) remains a favored introduction for young listeners and a key sampler for veteran fans. --Rickey Wright (less)Artist: The Beatles | $24 - $37 12 Merchants |
