This is an amazing box set - but Amazon's got it wrong - this is a FOUR DISC SET - not one disc!

The album contains 71 songs. The first disc (The 60's) include Bob Dylan, Buffalo Springfield, The Stone Poneys, Jefferson Airplane - and my favorite - Barry MCguire's Eve of Destruction. Disc 2 (The 70's), features James Taylor, Jackson Browne (another favorite), Joan Baez, Fleetweed Mac, Crosby Stills & Nash, and of course, The Grateful Dead. The 3rd Disc (The 80's) contained some surprises, with R.E.M., Suzanne Vega, 10,000 Maniacs, and The Roches. The final disc (The 90's & Beyond) Includes Wilco, Sarah McLachlan (a great choice), and the Indigo Girls.

The liner notes (60 pages!) trace the history of folk rock and include some great photos of Bob Dylan, Wilco, CSN, The Grateful Dead and more.

All in all, this is great set with something for everyone.
