That '70s Show Presents That '70s Album: Rockin' is based on the Fox sitcom That '70s Show -- a somewhat bawdy but harmless comedy about teens in the Me Decade -- and the CD mimics the show's sentiment and attitude quite accurately, but with less schmaltz than the Jammin' album. The songs are mostly hard rock hits and include Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Saturday Night Special," Montrose's "Rock Candy," the Kinks' "Celluloid Heroes," Ram Jam's "Black Betty," Argent's "Hold Your Head Up," and James Gang's "Funk #49." For some reason, Big Star's "September Gurls" made the CD, but "In the Streets," the Big Star song upon which the TV's theme show is based, was remade unnecessarily by Cheap Trick. Even worse, Cheap Trick also revamped "I Want You to Want Me" into a vapid energy-sucker. Despite some great rock songs, Rockin' is really just for rabid fans of the TV show. ~ Gina Boldman Producer: Chaz Harper (Compilation)   Technical Info Release Date : 09/14/1999 Original Release Date : 1999 Catalog ID : 31155 Label : Volcano 3 Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00614223115528   Professional Reviews Q (4/01, p.114) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Some of the choices are obvious...some are not...but all are glorious....nigh on perfect."    Product Image
