Collection of generi-rock mega-hits that have been painfully overplayed over the years and are particularly bland word-wise. But between its comprehensive familiarity and nostalgic wailalong charm, this is a rather undeniable smorgasbord of mild-mannered stadium-packing radio-single schlock. Starter "Summer of '69" stands out as most anthemic and is probably the only song that's not all about needing someone; "Run to You" the epitome of late night drives (or, er, runs). I myself tho am a sucker for the sap -- "Do I Have to Say the Words?", "Heaven", "(Everything I Do) I Do it For You", "Please Forgive Me" -- suspiciously similar to each other but hey. A must for any mom with a minivan.
