The only thing required here is to list some of the song titles in this 12-song collection and let you decide if it’s what you want to hear at your next party. Among the selections: Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s “Takin’ Care of Business,” Foreigner’s “Hot Blooded” and Three Dog Night’s “Joy to the World.” Not for me.
