Sucking the 70's Volume 1


Sucking the 70's is a two disk collection of 1970s songs covered by modern stoner rock bands. It was put out by Small Stone Records in 2002. A second album, Sucking the 70's - Back in the Saddle Again, was released in 2006. The album title is an obvious reference to the Rolling Stones compilation Sucking in the Seventies.
