Roosterz - Best Songs Collection

The Roosters/z (1979-1988)
So these guys are incredibly hard to get a hold of, at least if you live on the Western half of the planet. A couple of my friends, who should love me for this, have been wanting some for a while. Japanese ska/rock/swing, this stuff is pretty darn good. The only songs that sometimes stick out as being terrible are the let's-sing-in-English tracks, as can be the case with foreign bands. On the whole though, they sing in Japanese, and it's always interesting to be able to appreciate vocals as an instrument, and the whole ensemble musically, without worrying about words.

The best-of comes in two discs, and I found some other stuff but you can't have it just yet.
