Album Review
Y&T wasn't the most popular metal band, but they were better than a lot of their ilk, especially in the early '80s. Their biggest failing was that they came along a little bit too early to take advantage of the boom years of the '80s, when metal albums were flying out the stores and topping the charts. Too bad, because they had a good formula, part Van Halen and part AC/DC, who had swagger and hooks. Occasionally, they sounded a little generic, but in a good sense — they played by metal's formulas and delivered satisfyingly. Hip-O's Ultimate Collection proves this by rounding up 17 tracks (including two live cuts) that hit nearly all the fan favorites and metal anthems, plus their lone hit, 1985's "Summertime Girls." It's the definitive word on a good band that would have been bigger if they had better timing.
Customer Reviews
A great mix from the most overlooked band of all time!
If you have ever seen Y&T live in person they definitely left an impression on you. Few bands can match the raw power and haunting melodies that made Y&T a bay area favorite from the mid 70's to the late 80's. Unfortunately they are best known for the commercially driven "Summertime Girls" as a next to last ditch effort to capture radio play and build a nationwide interest. Alas Y&T has always been more about musicianship than glitter, but even the best have to try what they must to keep a record deal. Songs like "Forever", "Rescue Me", "I Believe In You", and "Mean Streak" personify the true essence of this fearsome foursome. They also are great examples of why lead singer/lead guitarist Dave Meneketti is a true rock afficianado's idol and has influenced so many who followed in his footsteps. This band should have been a much bigger deal than they were. On a side note, fans of John Hughes 80's films "Pretty in Pink" (Ducky's room) and "Weird Science" (Wyatt's room) should check out the posters hanging on the walls in the background. Apparently he was/is a fan too.
A perfect collection of the great band Y&T
I was not born in the 60's, 70's, and 80's so i didnt get to experiance this personally, but I wish i was born then and this is the reason why. Great bands like Y&T, Judas Priest, and Scorpions make me wish that I was in my late 30's. I get all of the music that I listen to from my dad, he was born at the right time in the right place. My dad saw Dave in Orchard Supply Hardware not too long ago, but was too shy to tell him how much of a fan he was of them. People should listen to Y&T and other great bands more often because of the great lyrics and albums they produce. Y&T is THE BEST band from the bay area... San Jose, CA ROX
