One thing I MUST give them is this.....What made them cool & an eye & ear-opener for their generation was
doing the un-coolest thing & MAKING it cool...namely the
re-introduction of stringed instruments (violins, cellos etc.) to rock
& roll and subsequently giving it SOUL. I may think they were
overrated, but I must give them that much.

I think the bottom lineis that in 50 years, people will still mention the Beatles. I doubt the Sugarbabes will get a similar reception.

I was tooso I bought it immediately. The third album looks like it was rush-released by the record company and culled from the outtakes of the others -- the first was November 1957 and the second March 1958, but the third was April 1958. Still, a very worthwhile purchase, I felt...
