1976-COLUMBIA
Produced By RON HAFKINE
1. Sylvia's Mother
2. Acapulco Goldie
3. Freakin' At The Freaker's Ball
4. Makin' It Natural
5. Penicillin Penny
6. Cover Of The Rolling Stone
7. Get My Rocks Off
8. Carry Me, Carrie
9. Queen Of The Silver Dollar
10. Roland The Roadie And Gertrude The Groupie
Before sinking into the schmaltz of "Only Sixteen" and "Sharing The Night Together", Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show were actually one of the more hilarious bands in rock & roll. All of the songs on this compilation were written by Shel Silverstein, and there could have been no better interpreter than Dr. Hook. "Sylvia's Mother" is actually a beautiful tune, and "Cover Of The Rolling Stone" got them just that. The rest is pure comedy, with "Acapulco Goldie" being by far the finest of the lot.
Of course, an album from the 70's about smoking pot and skanky women gets old fairly quickly, no matter how well it's done. When I was 15, this was the greatest album in the world. Now? Not so much, although the best moments still shine like gold. [First added to this chart: 08/26/2025]

1991-ATLANTIC
Produced By GREGG GELLER

2. Mighty Mighty Man
3. Early In The Morning
4. Somebody To Love
5. Queen Of The Hop
6. She's Tanfastic
7. Moment Of Love
8. Dream Lover
9. I'll Be There
10. Beachcomber
11. Nature Boy
12. Similau
13. You Must Have Been A Beautiful baby
14. Baby Face
15. Irresistable you
16. Wat'd I Say
17. Multiplication
18. Things
19. Lovin' You
20. If I Were A Carpenter
21. Simple Song Of Freedom
Bobby Darin's dream was to become bigger than Frank Sinatra. And while he never came close to that, he did have himself a nice little career as the bridge between the crooners of the 40's and the rock and roll of the 50's. Darin emerged from teen idoldom to becoming a survivor, one of the few voices of American rock in the early 60's when it looked like rock might die.
This collection (there is a volume 2 titled Mack The Knive) has several highlights, including his 1958 breakthrough "Splish Splash", "Dream Lover", "Queen Of The Hop", and his later, strange protest hit "Simple Song Of Freedom". This is a nice introduction to Darin's work, but it's since been far eclipsed by a very nice box set.
Darin died in 1973 at the age of 37. He was a major voice in American music...don't let this guy be forgotten. [First added to this chart: 08/08/2025]

1986-WARNER SPECIAL PRODUCTS
VARIOUS PRODUCERS
1. We're An American Band (Grand Funk Railroad)
2. Blinded By The Light (Manfred Mann's Earth Band)
3. Paranoid (Black Sabbath)
4. Midnight Rider (Gregg Allman)
5. Frankenstein (Edgar Winter)
6. Mississippi Queen (Mountain)
7. Black Magic Woman (Santana)
8. Easy Livin' (Uriah Heep)
9. All The Young Dudes (Mott The Hoople)
10. Smokin' In The Boys Room (Brownsville Station)
11. Eighteen (Alice Cooper)
12. Hocus Pocus (Focus)
This one came courtesy of my old friend David. Years ago, I went to his place for dinner and he gave me this cd. I've carried it with for for all these years. It's part of a series called Baby Boomer Classics, and it's basically songs you would here if you listened to a typical classic rock station for about 2 hours. It's just like a radio station without the commercials. I don't really listen to it much because the songs are everywhere, but it does come in handy if I need to learn a song from it.
So thanks, Dave. I don't have many things from the days when we kind of ran Redondo Beach with our guitars on the Strand, but I do have this. Kinda cool. [First added to this chart: 07/01/2025]

1975 – COLUMBIA
Produced By JAMES WILLIAM GUERCIO
1. 25 Or 6 To 4
2. Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?
3. Colour My World
4. Just You ‘N’ Me
5. Saturday In The Park
6. Feelin’ Stronger Every Day
7. Make Me Smile
8. Wishing You Were Here
9. Call On Me
10. (I’ve Been) Searchin’ So Long
11. Beginnings
In the world of Greatest Hits albums, none seems to be more overlooked than Chicago IX. Also, there aren’t many that can hold a candle to this. Released in 1975, this album covers the band’s most exciting period (their first seven albums), and all of the tracks feature the great Terry Kath on guitar. The band was experimental and upbeat, with their best songwriting. Kath died in 1978, and the band carried on…but they also turned into a ballad machine and were never the same. This is THE Chicago compilation to have, because it has nothing from their weak latter period. And I can guarantee you…if you were a kid and grew up with this band on the radio, you’ll be surprised to find that you know every single word.
Chicago’s greatest song (and Kath’s greatest guitar moment) is “25 Or 6 To 4”. Any album with this song on it is worth having. But here, the hits just keep coming. And coming. Robert Lamm and Peter Cetera were both great singers and writers. Everything here is pure gold. “Colour My World” was the prom song for everyone in the 70’s. Cetera’s “Wishing You Were Here” is a haunting beauty. Some of these tracks were written by members of their excellent horn section (“Call On Me” and “Make Me Smile”. The album ends just as strong as it starts, with Lamm’s epic “Beginnings”. Chicago’s early albums were often long and laden with filler…but there is not a miss on this excellent collection. Truly one of the best hits collections ever. Ever. [First added to this chart: 06/23/2025]
