40 Years of Rock β Vol 1: 40 Greatest Studio Hits is a three-disc greatest hits album by Australian hard rock group, the Angels, released on 2 May 2014. [1] [2] The album includes 40 songs from The Angels career spanning the years 1974β2014. [3] [4] It reached No. 20 on the ARIA Albums Chart. [5]
Amazon.com editorial reviewer described the album, "four decades of hits, four decades of touring and the legendary Australian are still making great music." [6] Alasdair McDonald of The Sydney Morning Herald reviewed both the studio album and its live album companion, 40 Years of Rock β Vol 2: 40 Greatest Live Hits and rated them as four out of five stars, he felt that they are "a homage to one of the most-loved and influential bands to come out of Adelaide. The band's influence spread far and wide, from Guns N' Roses to Pearl Jam and Nirvana, and their music helped spawn the Seattle grunge movement from half-way around the world." [7] Peter Hackney of Altmedia opined that "this compilation shows why theyβre the quintessential Aussie pub rock band." [8]
All tracks written by Bernard Neeson, John Brewster and Richard Brewster except where noted.
