N-R-B-Q-N-R-B-Q-N-R-B-Q..........2006-08-28

Top notch musical ability matched by unpredictability, spontaneity and a killer sense of humor, NRBQ is the band by which I compare all bands. They never forget that rock 'n roll is supposed to be fun. A favorite of many well-known musicians including Keith Richards, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, Bob Dylan, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Lou Reed, and the list goes on. As Penn Gilette says, "If you don't like NRBQ, I don't like you..." Buy their abums. Seek them out on the road. You're the one who's missing all the fun.

Schizophrenic Greatness/Blandness ???.......2006-07-28

A little schizophrenic. When they are good, which is most of the time, they are really really excellent tasteful, even avante guard. But every so often they have a tendency to lapse into mediocre pop...???

I went to see them with a friend who's a musician, and a damn good musician. We came out and compared notes. We BOTH thought that when they were good they were very very good but we were BOTH mystified by their lapses into mediocre pop in between the greatness.

Still you have to give them credit for being no one but themselves, their musicianship kicks butt on 98% of rock musicians and I believe they have 100% integrity. They never pander. They are doing exactly what they love.

If you like this type of bar band you'll probably love them. My tastes aren't for this type of thing generally but even so I enjoy and have a lot of respect and for these guys. So take my critique with a grain of salt.

No B.S. Rock and Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-01-26

Looking at the paucity of reviews proves not enough people know about this band; a crime in any country.
Most people PROBABLY know "Me and the Boys", but there are also 34 other songs on this set just as good, or better, than that one.
The Q's music gets back to the basics of rock and roll (not ROCK. There is a difference...); catchy songs, straight forward playing, and you can dance to it.
My faves are "Howard Johnson's Got His Ho-Jo Workin'", "RC Cola and a Moon Pie" (and you WILL be shouting along to the chorus; it cannot be denied!), "Mona", "Ridin' in My Car", "It Was a Accident", "Me and the Boys", "Never Take the Place of You" (flat out gorgeous harmonizing), "12 Bar Blues", "Things to You", "Crazy Like a Fox" (recorded live at Lupo's, which is practically down the street from me. Seemed like the Q were there at least once a month!).
This is such good time music. It will put a smile on your face.
So... if you love no nonsense rock and roll do what I did, take the plunge. You will be glad you so did.

...heavy on the heavy, lite on the quirky..........2005-12-13

An essential item for any legit, music collection. Love the band...but the novelty-quirky songs never really appealed to me('Girl Scout Cookies, 'Puddin' Truck, ect). thankfully this collection trimmed away most of the corniness, and just laid on the great songs and nasty/tasty playing...great music. 'It was an Accident, 'Rain at the Drive-In,'Mona'....gems all

Feel Good Music.......2005-10-23

I challenge you to listen to NRBQ and not feel absolutely GREAT from head to toe! If you're a masochist, this isn't for you. For the rest of us, it's a small investment that pays you back forever and ever!
