Casey Kasem presents: America's Top Ten - 1970s Classic Rock's Greatest Hits Reviews
| 16 of 17 people found the following review helpful  Fine collection of 70s radio rock, By hyperbolium (Earth, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Casey Kasem presents: America's Top Ten - 1970s Classic Rock's Greatest Hits (Audio CD) This generous collection (clocking in at a disc-stuffing 76:55) is filled with the radio candy that kept ears glued to the dial throughout the 70s. It may very well represent the last great gasp of top-40 radio, wherein the experimental sounds of 60s FM progressive rock were strained through the pop sensibilities of the AM hit single machine. These twenty selections focus on the rock hits of the 70s, eschewing other movements like disco, teen pop, and singer/songwriters (some of which are covered on other volumes of this series).From Boston's intricately layered "More Than a Feeling" to Lynyrd Skynyrd's anthemic "Sweet Home Alabama," the electric guitar was rock radio's focal point, with outsized riffs (courtesy of Mick Ralphs, Paul Kossoff, Steve Miller, Carlos Santana, and Duane Allman, among others) topped by swaggering vocals from the likes of Paul Rodgers (Bad Company and Free) and Lou Gramm (Foreigner).

However, this is one of the better single CD retrospectives; these are very, very famous rock tunes that got a lot of attention when they were originally released. The quality of the sound is excellent. The artwork is good although it is somewhat standard for this "Casey Kasem" CD series.Boston's "More Than A Feeling" begins the album with one of their biggest hits; the guitar work enhances the number considerably and the drums work well, too. Boston turns this out without a hitch and I love it! There's another gem in Bad Company's "Can't Get Enough;" "Can't Get Enough" is a rock tune that is infectiously catchy and I will never tire of hearing Bad Company do this one up right! The electric guitars on "Can't Get Enough" sound great. Santana's "Black Magic Woman" still sounds...
