Comment:

This is a classic rock anthology to end all classic rock anthologies; at least from the perspective of an 18-year old who's growing up in a world of Ashlee Simpson and other low-talent artists with more houses than God himself. Thus, the Ten Commandments of Classic Rock is born--my friend sent me a list of songs he burned onto mixes (about 90 songs). It was about 4.5 CD's worth of songs; he's no mix talent though, and all the songs were in order by artist. Blah. I fixed it up, added some songs...actually there are 188 total. 10 complete CD's worth of classic rock, spanning 1965-1975 (for the most part), took some time, but I got it done. I decided 10 CD's, 10 commandments, it was definitely a sign, though I'm no religious man. No more than one song per artist on any CD. Many radio favorites that some will scoff at, but hey, they're classic. I figure I'll put the first two CD's up today, and then wait to put the rest up. Hope you dig it.

This has definitely got some fantastic moments. Personally, I'd pass on America (although if I *had* to hear a song of theirs, that's the one I'd pick, if only because it reminds me so much of an early-'70s George Harrison tune) and the Moody Blues.
