4 out of 5 stars Super set of '70s radio candy.......2003-10-14

It's hard to imagine the highly balkanized radio formats of today producing the wide-range of beautifully crafted hits heard on this collection. From the heavy rock guitars of "More Than a Feeling" and "Hocus Pocus" (not to mention the latter's signature yodels, something sorely missing on today's charts!) to the R&B soul of "Groove Me," "Do You Know What I Mean" and "Starting All Over Again" to the contemplative pop and singer-songwriter angst of "Reflections of My Life," "Time in a Bottle" and "Shannon" (the last will still make you tear-up, after all these years), these are the torch-bearers of a golden decade of top-40 radio.

The '70s also saw terrific hybrids, like Bonnie Tyler's singer-songwriter-soul-country-Rod-Stewart-rasping "It's a Heartache," Blue Haze's reggae-remake of the '50s doo-wop standard "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," the barely-out-of-the-60s spirituality of "Spirit in the Sky," Richie Haven's acoustic-folk-soul remake of "Here Comes the Sun," and the ressurected Neil Sedaka's Elton John backed pinnacle, "Bad Blood." And these could be heard spun back-to-back (okay, back-to-announcement-to-commercial-to-station-ID-to-back) on the same radio station -- something that's unimaginable on today's commercial radio dial.
