 Great CD November 3, 2002
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I got this cd for the simple fact that it has "Vehicle" by the Ides of March. I thought the people at billboard were very wise in making the decision to add that song to this series. Other cool songs included are "The Rapper" and "Green Eyed Lady."
Recalling what was on the radio in the year 1970 December 25, 2001

Do not be fooled into thinking that the ten songs collected on any particular album in the Billboard Top Rock'N'Roll Hits series represent the top 10 singles from that year or even that they are even all #1 hits. Still, if you were tuned to the radio in 1970 you will recognize every single track in this collection. By rule of thumb with such hit albums is whether or not they add five or more new songs to my music collection. I only have three of these already on CD ("Mama Told Me (Not To Come)," "I Think I Love You" and "I Want Your Back"--I know, pretty embarrassing), and of the seven other tracks there is not one of them that I do not mind listening to, taking me back to the year 1970 when we moved from Japan to New Mexico and I started high school. The only complaint would be that there are only 10 songs, but clearly my criteria has been met. "War" and "Spirit in the Sky" are the most worthy additions, and I think I have a 45 of "Venus" some where around here. I just do not have a record player anymore. Do the math yourself, and if you also come up with five songs you would like to have, pick this puppy up. Hippo Holidays, America.
High School Days Revisited January 22, 2000

1970, the anticipation for me of what the next four years of high school would be like. These songs definitely bring me back without a doubt, the definition of what top 40 AM radio was like. Every song on this CD is great, no fillers here, the only thing I would change about it would be to put the extended version of "Green-Eyed Lady" by Sugarloaf on it. Perfect listening.
Incrdible collection of fun favorites for any generation June 18, 1999

This CD provided endless hours of listening pleasure for those great pre going out Friday and Saturday nights in the dorm room. All the songs will make you want to dance and groove!
 Worth buying just for Spirit In the Sky March 9, 1999
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
A lot of great tunes on this CD. But it's worth picking up if for nothing else than Norman Greenbaum's great Spirit in the Sky. Greenbaum was a one-hit wonder for good reason: it's his only good song. This is a good CD, though, with several other gems including the original Venus, Three Dog Night, Sugarloaf and The Partridge Family! Overall, not as good as the '69 Billboard, but still good stuff here.
