5 out of 5 stars Classic instrumentals.......2006-08-23

Great representative selections from the golden years of instrumental rock led by the Ventures and surf bands. This stuff was so cool that a number of TV shows and movies have used music from this era. I had the cassette version several years ago and the CD has additional tracks. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Companion to Volume 1 (See my review).......2006-07-08

Some of these songs are easily available elsewhere,such as "Because They're Young",
"Telstar", and, of course, "Walk, Don't Run".
But most of the rest are rarely available and not often played.
Besides, they are Great Hits in their own right.
So . . . buy it, you'll like it! (To paraphrase a '60s commercial).

5 out of 5 stars rarely heard on radio.......2006-02-28

This collection, along with the rock instrumental 50's classic is a great addition to any collection,for you don't hear these recordings hardly at all.The availability of these cd's is a very good thing, as to get all these hits together at an excellant price is extremely hard to do and find.All these songs are original and of course,Rhino, can be counted on for the real stuff.This cd should be given 10 stars.

3 out of 5 stars Instrumentals you never hear on oldies stations.......2005-10-12

The songs on this album, with only a couple exceptions, are ones that just don't seem to get any play on oldies stations.

My favorite song on the album is "Apache." I remember it well from my childhood days. I also really like "Classical Gas," "No Mater What Shape," and "Wheels."

I think the instrumentals selected for this compilation were good choices for the time period represented. I'm glad I bought this album.

I'm going to try to be conservative with my "stars," so that I can reward an exceptionally good album with the fifth star. Please don't think that the three star rating I have given this album means that I didn't like it or would not buy it, if I had it to do over again.

Tom

5 out of 5 stars Let's go!.......2005-04-27

This is a fine collection of instrumental rock hits from the 1960s (although it's stetching things to call "Classical Gas" "rock"). All the songs here were Top 30 hits, with over half of them going Top Ten. It's a bit odd that The Ventures only get one song, while B. Bumble & The Stingers and Lonnie Mack each have two songs, but what the heck. There are plenty of Ventures compilation albums if you want the rest of their hits. This album is worth getting for the hard to find "one hit wonder" instrumentals. Recommended to fans of rock instrumentals.

            3 out of 5 stars Pretty good collection.......2006-06-30

            Now this is one of the better of the "Nuggets" selections, with 9 certifiable national hits out of 18 tunes. A few are out-and-out psychadelic one-hit classics, like the Electric Prunes' "I Had Too Much To Dream", or the Strawberry Alarm Clock's "Incense and Peppermints". But some of the better tunes, like the Chambers Brothers' great "Time Has Come Today" come from groups whose entire catalog is worth having- "Time" is from an album that also features their version of the great Curtis Mayfield tune, "People Get Ready", "Midnight Hour" and more.

            On the whole, though, this is a good selection of 60s rock and pop with very few exceptions (what is that silly Dino, Desi and Billy track doing here?) that would serve as a good introduction for younger listeners curious as to what Mom and Dad (or maybe Grandma and Granddad) were freaking out to back in the old days.

            5 out of 5 stars Lou Reed, Rock N' Roll Animal.......2004-02-06

            For all you metal heads! If you want to hear fantastic guitar check this out. I am 39. Born in 63 this album was recorded in 73 and to date I have not heard to many albums (or CD's) that can come close to the true nature of rock'n'roll. Again the title is "rock'n'roll animal". DON'T LET THE COVER FOOL YOU.

            5 out of 5 stars One of my best buys from Amazon.......1999-07-26

            This CD is totally awesome. I got it for the soul purpose of Electric Prunes' song I had too much to dream last night. I found out that out of 18 songs, 16 are the best songs I/ve ever heard from the sixties. The Chambers Brothers' Time has come today is one of my fave's from this CD. There is a slight handicap on this album, numbers 9 and 10 are switched. This CD captures the great sounds of `60's punk rock and pshychedelic inspired rythm

            5 out of 5 stars I love this stuff........1999-01-28

            I have this CD and this box set and when ever I want to move around the room, they fill up the CD player. Of course, it was really hard for me to use CD and player instead of album and stereo. It's lots of fun
