Review by William Ruhlmann: Every rock fan has probably, at one time or another, considered the idea of creating an "ultimate" rock collection. But, while there have certainly been commercial attempts to do the same thing, they have generally been hobbled by record labels unwilling to license their hits to somebody else. That problem was solved by the RIAA, which got the cooperation of the then-six major labels BMG, EMI, Polygram, Sony, Universal and Warner, and all of the artists they approached for this six-CD, 7½-hour collection, on the grounds that a portion of its proceeds would be used to fight record piracy. That hurdle overcome, the compilers defined "rock" as something that started with the British Invasion in 1964, and proceeded to pick 101 songs to create a 31-year sampler.
