RASPBERRIES The Raspberries snuck onto the landscape in 1970, just as pompous bands were beginning to proliferate alarmingly. Instead, this new outfit—defined largely by Eric Carmen's distinctive heartthrob crooning—brought echoes of the best sounds of 60's pop (the Hollies, the Kinks, the Small Faces) into the new decade. Greatest hits the highlights of the Raspberries five-year career and proves sometimes being stubborn holdouts is the best way to ensure longevity. "Let's Pretend", with its swooning guitars, is a wistful pop masterpiece nearly in league with the Beach Boys' "Wouldn't It be Nice." The Raspberries dug beefy rock too—the scrubbed-raw guirtar break in "Ecstasy" reads like a mini love letter to The Who. Perhaps to the detriment of their career, the Raspberries never got over the British invasion. But they made something fresh from it, and the music they left behind hasn't gone stale yet.
