    Love it but you gotta have the mighty "Cardova" from the first LP on Josie. Contender to funkiest track of all time.

    Several of the songs on this compilation are out of order. Zony Mash, Stretch Your Rubber Band and The World Is a Little Bit Under The Weather to name a few. Still this compilation is funky as hell!

  • What happened to disc 2?

    Don't skip it, but I guess if you love the Meters you'll go elsewhere to get the meat of this collection. Disc 2 has tons of goodies, but I'm left wondering why they only included disc 1. God bless the (funky) Meters! (My rating is based on the 2-disc collection.)

  • Skip it

    What is a Meters anthology without 'Cissy Strut' or 'Sophisticated Cissy'? Funkify your life with some reissues of the Meters' rather than this anthology.

    Collection of the greatest songs of the New Orleans funkmasters from the 70s: the Meters. Must have album/anthology with MOST of the Meters greats. It is mostly a collection of earlier works, characterized by the 1-2-3 simplicity of the riffs and bass-drum rhythm. Raw funk New Orleans style devoid of vocals or synthesized enhancement- classic instrumental funkucation 101. Some songs with singing- like my favorite NOT INCLUDED in this partial album: "I Need Mo Time". I vote for FULL albums.
