Ultimate Rock & Roll Collection - The 60s

by Various Artists

Though this album bills itself The Ultimate Rock 'N Roll Collection: The '60s, it's neither ultimate, nor even that rock & roll; with the possible exception of Tommy James & the Shondells' "Mony Mony," it's a solid and diverse collection of '60s pop. Spanning hits like the Supremes' "Stop! In the Name of Love," the Beach Boys' "Surfer Girl," and Roy Orbison's "Oh, Pretty Woman" to slightly lesser-known singles like the Foundations' "Build Me Up Buttercup," and the Reflections' "(Just Like) Romeo and Juliet," the album may not live up to its title, but that doesn't keep it from being enjoyable. ~ Heather Phares
