A Time Life Box set, this chronological 7-CD sampler of music from the late 60s to the early 90s is well-selected for the most part, as one would expect from Rolling Stone magazine, a principal arbiter of taste for many rock fans. Due to licensing restrictions, devotees of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones will find nothing in this collection except a couple of solo tracks from John Lennon and Paul McCartney. However, most artists of note in that 25-year period are represented by at least one fondly remembered song or major hit. A few get multiple cuts, including four by Bob Dylan and two or three each by Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, Prince, Jimi Hendrix, Bonnie Raitt, Don Henley, Jackson Browne, Ry Cooder, The Allman Brothers, The Eagles, The Grateful Dead, The Who, Led Zeppelin, and U2, as well as Eric Clapton and Neil Young in their various incarnations.

As usual, female and black performers are under-represented (where are Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Diana Ross, James Brown, Al Green, Smokey Robinson...?), but Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Madonna, Tracy Chapman, Cyndi Lauper, Patti Smith, and The Pretenders make the list, along with Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, Grandmaster Flash, Public Enemy, Run D.M.C., Robert Cray, Sly and The Family Stone, Stevie Wonder, and The Jackson 5. Undeniably great rock stars and bands are here, of course, such as David Bowie, Elton John, Elvis Costello, Tom Petty, Warren Zevon, Graham Parker, Traffic, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Band, The Byrds, The Cars, The Clash, The Doors, The Kinks, The B-52s, Ramones, R.E.M., and Talking Heads. Many listeners will find fault with egregious omissions (where are Queen, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, Journey, The Beastie Boys, Heart, Linda Ronstadt...?) or with the songs chosen for some artists. (Amazon)
