"Radio Waves of the '90s: Alternative Rock Hits" (10/22/2002) Rock & Pop Various Artists, Universal Special ProductsSeeing budget compilations of '90s alternative rock might make the people that grew up with it feel old and sad, but not half as sad (or, more likely, confused) as seeing songs like Extreme's power ballad "Hole Hearted" or Ugly Kid Joe's hair metal snark-fest "Everything About You" on Radio Waves of the '90s: Alternative Rock Hits. This foray into pop-metal is a serious flaw in the collection, but fortunately not an entirely fatal one, as it redeems itself with more likely tracks such as the Gin Blossoms' "Follow You Down," Semisonic's "Closing Time," and Del Amitri's "Roll to Me." Despite the somewhat random song selections -- which, puzzlingly, also include Tears for Fears' bombastic, early-'90s single "Break It Down Again" -- the album does manage to feature three of the decade's best and most definitive alternative rock singles: Urge Overkill's surging "Sister Havana," the Cranberries' sweet first single "Linger," and the Stone Roses' "Love Spreads," which sounded somewhat disappointing upon its release but eventually proved to hold its own with the band's best material. A scattered and occasionally wrongheaded collection, Radio Waves of the '90s: Alternative Rock Hits is probably best avoided, despite some of the worthwhile songs it includes. ~ Heather Phares

"Through the 90s: Singles and Unreleased" (05/22/2001) Rock & Pop American Analog Set (The), Emperor JonesRecorded in 1995 & 1999. Includes liner notes by Guy Fidelity. The complexity and intricacy of the American Analog Set's albums betray their skills as a singles band -- while it's highly doubtful any of their 7" singles will ever threaten the top of the Billboard charts, their unique drone pop tone poems translate to the single format with surprising effortlessness, their approach gaining in immediacy what it loses in scope. Borrowing its title from a lyric in The Golden Band's "The Wait" (reprised here as a jingle for AmAnSet's favorite soft drink, "Dr. Pepper"), Through the 1990s: Singles and Unreleased compiles 14 tracks scattered across the group's brief but so far brilliant career, spanning from their first single, 1996's "Diana Slowburner II," to 1999's "The Only Living Boy Around," arguably their catchiest moment to date. Although the disc is above all an exercise in completism -- the alternate versions of cuts like "Magnificent Seventies," "On Our Way," and "It's All About Us" differ only superficially from their original LP versions -- the clutch of uncollected material makes it an essential purchase for fans, although newcomers are advised to seek out From Our Living Room to Yours or The Golden Band first. ~ Jason Ankeny

"Billboard #1 Hits of the '90s" (04/02/2002) Rock & Pop Various Artists, Flashback RecordsRhino Flashback's Billboard #1 Hits of the '90s, populated with acts as diverse as Mr. Big, Snow and James Ingram, dutifully reflects the schizophrenic nature of the decade. As a mix, it lacks any truly memorable hits -- besides Alannah Myles "Black Velvet," which seems to appear on every compilation known to man. ~ James Christopher Monger

"Less Hits, More Tits [PA] *" (11/27/2001) Rock & Pop Nobodys ('90s), HopelessThe Nobodys includes: JJ Nobody (vocals, bass); Justin Disease (vocals, drums); The Rodman (guitar, background vocals). Additional personnel: Johnny Stroker (guitar); Grout Murphy (harmonica); Rick Respectable (drums, background vocals); Aaron Grunt (background vocals). Personnel: Justin Disease (vocals, drums); Rick Respectable (drums, background vocals). Audio Mixer: Rick Respectable. Recording information: JJ's Basement (08/16/2001-08/27/2001); Rock Bottom Studios (08/16/2001-08/27/2001). Nobodys' by-the-numbers punk rock is likely to move a few frat boys to chuckle and a few drunk guys to slam dance, but most sober people will find this music asinine and tedious. There are too many bands who sound exactly like this and it seems that all of them are able to afford to put out their own records. Nobodys (who have quite a few records) are lucky to have a rather established punk label, Hopeless, behind them. Perhaps this is because they sound like the Queers at their absolute worst. Nobodys' singer, JJ Nobody, has a very unappealing voice, while the band seems to have absolutely no chops whatsoever. Worse still, the lyrics are both dunderheaded and sexist. And someone should tell them that punk albums of this sort don't need to be 44 minutes long with 20 indistinguishable songs. The title of the album, Less Hits, More Tits, seems to pretty much sum up these guys, while the band's name, Nobodys, describes their future succinctly. ~ Adam Bregman Here we have the Nobodys with another fun batch of stupid, over-raucous & raunchy trash punk. Their standard topics are all here: girls, cars, and screwin'. As with their usual choice of cover art, the Nobodys never hide or make any pretense about what they're about--cranked up rock & roll. While 20 non-stop tracks of the stuff would seem a bit much, each track is only 90 - 120 seconds, so each song shows up, does its thing and then splits before too much annoyance is raised. Hmm, rather like your standard male extra in one of porn video that the Nobodys are reputedly intaking. At any rate, the stuff is fun, but ultimately one-dimensional for the most part. Ooh, they can do both stupid pop-punk and sleazy AC/DC-like tracks, how's that for versatility? Good for a spin or two, but ultimately, there are better purveyors of this stuff, and one's time would be better spent finding them. ~ Jeremy Salmon

"Billboard Top Hits of the 90's" (08/21/2001) Rock & Pop Various Artists, Rhino Records (USA)Compilation producers: Patrick Milligan, Garson Foos. Digitally remastered by Dave Schultz, Dan Hersch & Bill Inglott (DigiPrep). Audio Remasterers: Dave Schultz; Dan Hersch; Bill Inglot. Liner Note Author: Brian Ives. Like most first attempts at chronicling musical eras, Rhino's Billboard Top Hits of the '90s could hardly be called definitive and even as a sampler there are many songs missing. This, of course, is partially due to licensing reasons, but it's also true that it's hard to have a perspective on a decade that was a year and a half old at the time of this disc's release. Nevertheless, most first attempts are charming, even despite their setbacks, and that's the case here. Yes, there's a preponderance of novelties and one-hit wonders, but even so, it's a good way to catch such fine '90s radio staples as Barenaked Ladies' "One Week," Hootie & the Blowfish's "Only Wanna Be With You" (whose appropriations from Dylan's "Tangled Up in Blue" sound stranger than ever), EMF's "Unbelievable," Tag Team's "Whoomp! (There It Is)," Jesus Jones' "Right Here, Right Now," the Rembrandts' "I'll Be There for You," Ace of Bace's "The Sign," Everything But the Girl's "Missing," Meredith Brooks' "Bitch," and Marcy Playground's "Sex and Candy," one of the best commercialized approximations of Nirvana ever released. The album could have flowed a bit better, and it has a few speed bumps (two Phil Collins songs wind up sounding more like '80s holdovers than '90s tunes), but even so, it's a good first effort at summarizing the '90s and it has enough great one-shot singles to make this worthwhile for a lot of listeners. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

"Radio Waves of the '90s: Pop Hits" (10/22/2002) Rock & Pop Various Artists, Universal Special ProductsThe two questions here are why and why. By the time Radio Waves: Pop Hits of the '90s was released in late 2002 people had grown weary of arbitrary compilations of this sort. During a few moves in the late '90s and early 2000s, Universal had indeed quite a backlog of hits and label acquisitions. Again, like so many others, this does include a few essential songs from the '90s. Cathy Dennis' "Too Many Walls" is the most undervalued song here and a smart instance of soulful adult contemporary pop. Aaron Neville's cover of "Everybody Plays the Fool" however is the nadir of that style. The relative innocuousness of Pop Hits of the '90s seemed to embolden the compilers to put three of the most obnoxious and overplayed songs from the decade. But then again it takes brass ones to put "Tubhumping," "This Is How We Do It," and Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart" in the same sentence, let alone the same CD. Extreme's "More Than Words" and Shanice's "I Love Your Smile" surely won't win over those who hated them at the time of their release. If there was a thing as really hitting the mark in a comp this flighty, that distinction goes to Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch's "Good Vibrations." It almost saves the CD. Skimpy, odd, and cheesy sums this up and this could have been much worse. ~ Jason Elias
