Eclectic mix, but worth it.......2004-02-23

OK, I have a bone to pick with whoever came up with the title to this album: it's somewhat misleading and a bit confusing, as I'm not sure how many of these artists have achieved cult status. Nevertheless, it's a good, eclectic mix of alternative; perfect for a road trip. The high points include the American Music Club's "Johnny Mathis' Feet," Ian Dury's "Spasticus Autistius," the Butthole Surfers' "Alcohol" and the always irreverant Mojo Nixon with "Debbie Gibson is Pregnant with my Two-Headed Love Child." Elvis Costello, the Smiths, the Replacements and Iggy Pop also contribute good, if a bit commercial, works. If you like 80's/90's alternative, this is a good album to have in your collection.

Mainstream Alternative.......2001-06-29

There's no doubt that this is an unusually eclectic mix of artists, skipping blithely across some three decades of alternative music. Outside of the fact that it's all a rather generic sampling of alternative oldies-but-goodies artists, there really isn't much of a cohesion or theme to the album. Do the Talking Heads really qualify as cult rockers, given the top-10 successes of some of their later releases? Aren't the Smiths a little more mainstream than rebellious? And how exactly did a `60s garage band like the Seeds end up here? There's really nothing wrong with this album; a rather good introduction to "college radio" music of the mostly-`80s for the uninitiated. For those in the know, there's probably not much here they haven't heard quite a few times before.

Customer Reviews:

Good mix of music.......2002-12-30

This is an excellent (if not eclectic!) collection of sounds. Ranging from "Get Together" by the Youngbloods (exceedingly groovy) to "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult (exceedingly swish) this CD has something for everyone. I am not sure what the link to New York was all about, but I bought the CD on the basis of the track listing and I have not been disappointed. A great CD for the car.
