Maybe it's because "60's Rock Party" is such a vague concept, but Millennium 60's Rock Party is the least cohesive installment in Rhino's century series, Millennium 60's Rock Party. A "60's Rock Party" follows no particular genre or style, apparently, since the disc flip-flops between British Invasion, soul, psychedelia, garage rock, pop and good old rock & roll from any year of the decade at the drop of a hat.

Maybe it's because "60's Rock Party" is such a vague concept, but Millennium 60's Rock Party is the least cohesive installment in Rhino's century series, Millennium 60's Rock Party. A "60's Rock Party" follows no particular genre or style, apparently, since the disc flip-flops between British Invasion, soul, psychedelia, garage rock, pop and good old rock & roll from any year of the decade at the drop of a hat. That's not to say that it's bad, however. Not a song among these 20 is anything less than a classic, at least as far as oldies radio is concerned. The only flaw is that it's entirely too predictable -- after all, "You Really Got Me," "Do Wah Diddy Diddy," "Mony Mony," "Oh, Pretty Woman," "The Loco-Motion," "Wooly Bully," "Gimme Some Lovin'," "The Letter," "Wild Thing," "Happy Together," "Incense and Peppermints," "Double Shot (Of My Baby's Love)," "If You Wanna Be Happy," "I Only Want to Be with You" and "These Boots Are Made for Walking" have hardly left the airwaves since their initial release. Ultimately, complaining that the album is a little scattershot or predictable are the gripes of a record collector, who will already have these songs somewhere else. The casual listener, however, will find that this is a good, solid collection of '60s favorites that's quite entertaining, even if it does sound a lot like oldies radio. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
