Even if the Belgian mega project wrote some of the most absurdly garish tracks to ever grace the Billboard charts, it’s hard to contest that 2 Unlimited were unabashedly proud of their redundant techno pop.
I immediately noticed that the producers of Jock Jams were reaching when “Tribal Dance” started playing on my headphones.
And besides, it’s really hard to top the indisputable champion of catchphrases, “Let’s Get Ready to Rumble”. But as far as quotes that are meant to get you into the spirit of the game, then “It’s Awesome Baby” is more so an endearing “aw shucks” remembrance of Vitale’s silly pre-game antics than a rousing fist-pumper.
The sports broadcaster is practically an American institution, and it’s really not his fault that each one of these compilations starts with some sort of ubiquitous catchphrase that reflects the core values of this country more than an All You Can Eat Salad Bar at Sizzler. Look, I don’t want to be the one who hates on Dick Vitale. So in the long tradition of classic finger food, I thought the only way to approach each awesome cut in here was to classify them by that oh-so-important ingredient that can make or break that exhilarating Sunday afternoon: chicken wing sauces. In trying to determine how good these tracks really are, I thought it'd be just to rank these arena-pumping hits by how flavorful they truly, truly are. Arugably speaking, Jock Jams Volume 3 is a fierce competitior in a series that didn't miss a beat with its vast array of trashy Euro hits and witless hip hop jams. But what do you make of the delightful Jock Jams series, a collection of 5 volumes that shamelessly existed with the sole purpose of blasting the boombox to get you into the groove after watching some good ol' American football (I guess the English like their fútbol so I'm trying to make compromises here). Please to Meet Me ain't no Tim, Tusk is nowhere near as succesful as Rumours, and everyone knows that every Yes album is one big transition.
