Though it's not quite the nonstop party of Frat Rock, Vol. 1, Vol. 2 of the series comes close to matching its predecessor's energy with '50s and '60s classics like Sly & the Family Stone's "Dance to the Music," Ritchie Valens' "La Bamba," the Champs' "Tequila," and the Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Lovin'."
