Saturday Morning Cartoons’ Greatest Hits

If you’re a kid who grew up in the 1970s — and still like rock and roll — Saturday Morning Cartoons’ Greatest Hits is a must-buy album. Many of the artists on the album weren’t well-known when this first hit the streets, although pretty much all of them deserve to be.

“Saturday Morning Cartoons’ Greatest Hits” benefits by having artists of the right generation (mostly) playing the covers. Everything from the amazing Liz Phair’s cover of the “Banana Splits” theme song to Matthew Sweet’s “Scooby Doo, Where Are You” to Sumblime’s “Hong Kong Phooey” to the Ramones’ “Spider-Man” are incredibly fun tunes that both evoke the classic cartoons and are representative of the musicians’ work.

I picked this album up the first day it was in stores, having heard choice cuts from it on Washington, DC’s WHFS all week prior, and it remains one of my favorite albums to this day, years later.
