Greatest Sports Rock & Jams

No, it's not rockin' jams. It's rock and jams, which implies a mix of sweeping rockers ("Rock and Roll Part 2," "Louie, Louie," "Born to be Wild") and equally hook-addicted R&B ("The Power," "Celebration"). As one can see, we're talking about the most ubiquitous stadium anthems of recent memory. Though there's some variety found here ("Macarena" to "Surfin' Bird" suitably represent the spectrum), this two-disc set sticks to game-time faves of the most familiar sort.
