41 Great College Victory Songs

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Let's get right to the crux of the matter: Can the University of Michigan band really do justice to school songs from Big 10 rivals such as the University of Illinois, Northwestern, and the University of Iowa? The answer is mixed. The University of Wisconsin warhorse "On, Wisconsin" is played with verve and given a nifty arrangement, but the brassy Wolverine partisans don't really put their heart into cross-state rival Michigan State University's "MSU Fight Song." Road tripping from UCLA to the University of Maine, the UM band tackles staples ("Notre Dame Victory March," "Eyes of Texas," "Anchors Away," the stirring "Varsity") and sleepers ("Down, Down the Field," "Fight On, Pennsylvania"). Only someone who, as was once said of Michigan alumnus Gerald Ford, "played too many games without a helmet," would listen to 41 Great College Football Victory Songs in one sitting, but for those who need to feel a little school fight, fight, fight, here's all the collegiate spirit one needs. --Steven Stolder

Left Out Cal!!?!?!?!?!?!?!.......2006-10-09

Considering the fact that the University of California - Berkeley boasts the largest repetoire {sp?} of school songs of ANY university in the country makes the fact that this compilation has not included ANY of them problematic at the very least. Big C (or Sons of Westwood to you theiving baby bears out there) - Fight for California - Sons of California - Stanford Jonah - Golden Bear - Make Way for the Bear - Roll On - Cal Band March - California Triumph - Palms of Victory - California Indian Song - California Marching Song - One More River - All Hail - Hail to California - California, We're For You --

Take your pick - they are all fantastic - and I think I forgot a few...

To leave out Cal is either shoddy work or bad temperment.

Go Bears - Beat the Cougars!

School Spirit.......2006-08-15

Used this CD at a "Show your School Spirit" event. Everyone loved it.

Good Selections, Well Played.......2006-03-16

This collection of college songs is large and includes more songs than other such collections. The songs are all well played and consistent with the style required for college fight songs.

Iowa STATE?.......2004-12-03

Any album that lists the "Iowa Fight Song" followed by (Iowa State) can't be any good. It's the University of Iowa Fight Song, not Iowa State University. And from the preview I heard, they didn't do it justice anyway.

Yawn.......2004-01-10

If you are looking for the fiery songs we all hear on Saturdays throughout the fall, keep looking. The song selection also dates this album. Many of today's power houses are excluded in favor of those who saw their days of glory before my lifetime. It is also insulting to see the Iowa Fight Song credited to Iowa State.
