Excelltent, but more needed

(4 out of 5 stars)
"This disk pays tribute to the early days of Rock 'n Roll. It is a nice start, but some of the tracks are all to avalible elsewhere and it would be nice to see some more rare tracks by the artists included on the disk. Mead & Ginsberg talking about the Beat Generation is classic conversation. The CD is a much needed relief from an age where the top music stars are overproduced supermodels, and good looking pretty boys who cannot play an instrument much less write one of their songs.
Before the age of MTV, when pop stars had to look good, there was the golden age of Rock radio, and this disk is a reminder that there was a time when the focus was on the music, not the glitter."
