Talkin' 'bout my generation ...   July 29, 2005

If you're a kid who grew up in the 1970s -- and still like rock and roll -- this is a must-buy album. Many of the artists on the album weren't well-known when this first hit the streets, although pretty much all of them deserve to be.

"Saturday Morning Cartoons' Greatest Hits" benefits by having artists of the right generation (mostly) playing the covers. Everything from the amazing Liz Phair's cover of the "Banana Splits" theme song to Matthew Sweet's "Scooby Doo, Where Are You" to Sumblime's "Hong Kong Phooey" to the Ramones' "Spider-Man" are incredibly fun tunes that both evoke the classic cartoons and are representative of the musicians' work.

I picked this album up the first day it was in stores, having heard choice cuts from it on Washington, DC's WHFS all week prior, and it remains one of my favorite albums to this day, five years later.

I've had this CD since it's release! LOVED it then, still love it! I think the covers are GREAT! Better than the originals, makes for much more fun reliving the cartoons I grew up on! I had recently purchased a copy for my friends son, who LOVES it, and since has been learning to play guitar! I would like to see more CD's like this quality and caliber of bands to attract the young ones who are our future rockstars!
