True to its name, Universal Music's two-disc
Best of Classic Rock set offers up twenty-two songs that are currently being played ad nauseum on your local classic rock station, including "Sweet Home Alabama" (
Lynyrd Skynyrd), "We're an American Band" (
Grand Funk Railroad), "Takin' Care of Business" (
Bachman-Turner Overdrive), "The Boys Are Back in Town" (
Thin Lizzy), and "Crazy on You" (
Heart). The lack of "Free Bird" is alarming. ~ James Christopher Monger
