Music reviews of The Definitive Collection
Music Review: Goin' to the Rollers' Show
Rating: 3 Stars
The tartan answer to the Osmond Brothers finally landed on American Shores thanks to none other than Howard Cosell. Sweet faced boys with cheery harmonies, tartan fringed clothes and the catchy chant S-A-TUR-DAY-NIGHT! After being teen sensations in the UK for a couple of years, Rollersmania hit number one in the US in 1974.
Despite the hype, much of the best of the Roller's music was composed by the band. The top ten "Money Honey" was self-composed, and so was their disco-hit "Can't Stop The Music." The band was chomping at the bit to escape the teeny-tag, and had they not been yoked to a weird deal with Arista (forcing the band to have 50% of the songs per album covers chosen by the label), they might have managed to be contemporaries of - while listening the toughened sound on "Yesterday's Heroes" - perhaps The Sweet. However, the bulk of this best of still sounds slick and solid. Even the covers ("Rock and Roll Love Letter" and "I Only Want to Be With You" being two bests here) still sounds confident and catchy. Not earth-shattering, but still powerful fun. Even the songs most of us did not hear, like "Turn On The Radio," could have been big.
Description of The Definitive Collection
The mid-70s belonged to a group of hopelessly plaid Scotsmen who named themselves after a northern Michigan resort town. With an affect on fans that resembled Beatlemania in terms of screaming, fainting, and pledges of undying love, the Bay City Rollers enjoyed a string of U.K. pop hits along with modest American success. In retrospect, the band's music is still sugary enough to give listeners a toothache; however, there is a certain charming innocence to tunes like "Saturday Night," "Summer Love Sensation," and (of course) "Shang-a-Lang." Boy-band nostalgia, anyone? --S. DudaBritain CDs
