A celebration of two millennia in an easily digestible single disc, 20 Centuries of Hits is the kind of tongue-in-cheek project that only Rhino Records could properly assemble. From the "First Delphic Hymn to Apollo" to "Louie Louie," it makes its own argument for--what? Progression? Regression? At the very least, these 23 cuts will make you yearn for the better times of "Alleluia Oculis" (5th century) or the Notre Dame Mass (14th) or happy for your luck in being born in the century of "Stardust." --Rickey Wright
