Awesome music but not his "best"

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Skip this "best of" (hardly) CD. Taken on its own, the music on the disc is great but it does not represent Nugent's "best" (it fails to include his two most popular songs -"stranglehold" and "cat scratch fever"). If you are looking for a hit package I would suggest that you pick up "super hits", "great gonzos", or better yet, the "out of control" 2 disc set (this in the only "best of" collection that contains the legendary "great white buffalo")."

The Pre-VanHalen American Guitar Hero of the 70's

"Going way back to the wide-leg post-woodstock years of the 70's, the Motor City Madman was undisputably THE American guitar hero of the decade for legions of pubescent teens before a certain Eddie somebody showed up in late 1977 to swipe his crown. Ted's mouth that runneth over in concert and in interviews was new and exciting in a subdued time way before he was known as a right-wing wacko. The "voice" of this LP is the under-appreciated Derek St. Holmes who gives Ted the needed heart - or "ying" - to Ted's gonzo "yang". Had Ted not been so autocratic and shared the spotlight with the rest of the band featured on this landmark recording, they might have stayed together and been a supergroup for the ages, but they only stuck it out for 3 great studio albums which will always light up testosterone-filled memories for me and millions of other teen boys at that time who lived their lives according to the gospel of St. Ted's ode to the fair sex: "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang.""
