 | "Queen - Greatest Hits, Vols. 1-2" list: $29.98 - our price: $26.99 by Hollywood Records Audio CD
(14 November, 1995)
(115 reviews)  Editorial Review: Queen brought a whole new meaning to the phrase over the top. While rock & roll flamboyance stretched back at least as far as Little Richard, Freddie Mercury continued to camp it up, taking little seriously and smirking at the music's growing pretensions while partaking in them no small bit. |
 | "Queen - The Platinum Collection: Greatest Hits I, II & III" list: $29.98 - our price: $23.99 by Hollywood Records Audio CD
(24 September, 2002)
(47 reviews)  Editorial Review: What once seemed Queen's greatest liabilities--a preening flamboyance and pompous, overwrought theatricality--have ironically become their most enduring charms in a gray, postmodern pop-music landscape. |
 | 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong list: $59.98 - our price: $47.99 by Island Audio CD
(16 November, 2004)
Editorial Review: Playing off of Elvis Presley’s 1959 album 50 Million Elvis Presley Fans Can’t Be Wrong, right down to the gold-lame suits the quartet dons on the cover, stalwart rockers Bon Jovi make a strong case that they&# |
 | 1984 list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 by Warner Brothers Audio CD
(19 September, 2000)
(127 reviews)  Customer Review: It's kind of scary how good this is!: Van Halen's "sneeze and you'll miss it" masterpiece of an album. Clocking in at a whopping 33 minutes, |
 | 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Donnie Iris list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 Audio CD
(18 September, 2001)
(13 reviews)  Customer Review: Nice New Wave Rock From Donnie Iris!: I really liked Donnie Iris's L.P. "Back On The Streets" and it does include the hit "Ah Leah" which is his best song. |
 | 2112 list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 by Mercury / Universal Audio CD
(06 May, 1997)
(194 reviews)  Editorial Review: Only Rush could have pulled this off, and only in the '70s. 2112--the title suite of the band's 1976 breakthrough album--is a comically pretentious, futuristic rock opera written by a nerdy drummer and sung by a whiny-voiced geek. |
 | 80's Pop Hits list: $13.98 - our price: $13.98 Audio CD
(21 August, 2001)
(7 reviews)  Customer Review: NOT the 80s!!!: Just listened to my friend's CD. This was NOT the 80s I remember. This compilation is the kind of lowest of lowest common denominator garbage that gives the 80s a bad name. |
 | 90125 list: $11.98 - our price: $7.99 by Rhino Records Audio CD
(24 February, 2004)
(18 reviews)  Customer Review: Change changing places: First off, anyone cynical about Rhino releasing Yes albums for the umpteenth time should shut up after listening to the remaster of 90125. |
 | A Day At The Races [+2 Remixed] list: $13.98 - our price: $13.98 by Hollywood Records Audio CD
(05 March, 1991)
(61 reviews)  Editorial Review: Both regal and raunchy, Queen was at the height of its powers in themid-70s, riding the soaring vocals of Freddie Mercury, the ringing guitar crunchof Brian May and the band's shameless theatrical flourishes. |
 | A Farewell to Kings list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 by Mercury / Universal Audio CD
(06 May, 1997)
(100 reviews)  Customer Review: Masterpiece with an Achilles Heel...: 5 Stars but flawed? Yes and the song is Madrigal, an obvious attempt at filler but it has no place on a record with such high standards. |
 | A Kind of Magic list: $13.98 - our price: $13.98 by Hollywood Records Audio CD
(17 June, 1991)
(55 reviews)  Customer Review: Not only one of the best albums I own but.....: is one of the best soundtracks in the world.Queen's A Kind Of Magic serves as the soundtrack/score to the 1986 sci-fi classic film Highlander.O |
 | A Night at the Opera [Hollywood] list: $13.98 - our price: $12.99 by Hollywood Records Audio CD
(03 September, 1991)
(124 reviews)  Editorial Review: Nothing succeeds like excess--at least that's the case with Queen's breakthrough classic, A Night at the Opera. On one level, the title is a reference to the band's operatic pretensions, best in evidence here on the classic "Bohemian Rhapsody," |
 | Aerosmith's Greatest Hits list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 Audio CD
(07 September, 1993)
(100 reviews)  Editorial Review: Even before their second fling with the pop mainstream, Aerosmith were one of Top 40's favorite hard-rock bands, so ubiquitous--and so funky--that Run-D.M.C. were vociferous fans. Their '70s output included at least three classic albums (Aerosmith, |
 | Alive in Seattle list: $24.98 - our price: $24.98 Audio CD
(10 June, 2003)

 | Anthology list: $24.98 - our price: $22.99 by Hip-O Records Audio CD
(05 June, 2001)
(10 reviews)  Customer Review: If 10 stars were possible!: I could list all the great songs which would be every song. All I can say is, I was blow way by this collection. |
 | Back in Black (Deluxe Digipak) list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49 Audio CD
(18 February, 2003)
(64 reviews)  Editorial Review: Most critics complain Back in Black, the album AC/DC recorded after the death of their original lead screamer Bon Scott, is ridiculously juvenile, obvious, snickering, bludgeoning, derivative, single-minded about sex and booze, |
 | Back in Black list: $17.98 by Atlantic Audio CD
(16 August, 1994)
(274 reviews)  Editorial Review: Most critics complain Back in Black, the album AC/DC recorded after the death of their original lead screamer Bon Scott, is ridiculously juvenile, obvious, snickering, bludgeoning, derivative, single-minded about sex and booze, |
 | Bad For Good: The Very Best of Scorpions list: $13.98 - our price: $12.99 by Hip-O Records Audio CD
(28 May, 2002)
(20 reviews)  Editorial Review: Sure they're big, dumb, and obvious, but weren't the Ramones?Isn't Britney? (Especially Britney!) It is, after all, no mean feat to forge a bona fide rock stereotype, let alone become a self-perpetuating parody of said clich&# |
 | Bat Out of Hell list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 Audio CD
(14 October, 2003)
(47 reviews)  Customer Review: The Ultimate Album Of All Time: If there is one album that anyone needs to make their collection complete, it's this one.Thanks to Jim Steinman's masterful writing skill, |
 | BBC Sessions list: $24.98 - our price: $22.99 by Atlantic Audio CD
(18 November, 1997)
(101 reviews)  Editorial Review: Frequently bootlegged and now digitally remastered by Jimmy Page, these tapes capture a 25-month (1969 to 1971) arc in which Zep's sound grew to encompass the speed rush and jazz/blues festival stuff of their 1969 debut, |
 | Best of 70s Supergroups list: $9.99 - our price: $9.99 by Priority Records Audio CD
(25 October, 1990)
(5 reviews)  Customer Review: Good Stuff: Not a bad collection of 70's stuff, every song on this CD will be pleasing to the ear. Boston, Santana, ELO and others are represented as well as many other groups. |
 | Best of Both Worlds (Dig) list: $24.98 - our price: $20.99 by Rhino Records Audio CD
(20 July, 2004)
Editorial Review: One shouldn't have too much difficulty imagining a two-disc Van Halen compilation entitled The Best of Both Worlds. The first disc will showcase the David Lee Roth-fronted version of the band that reenergized hard rock with its titanic 1978 debut and peaked commercially with 1984's, |
 | Best of Me list: $13.98 - our price: $13.98 by A&M Records Audio CD
(14 May, 2002)
(23 reviews)  Editorial Review: If Bryan Adams's no-frills, blue-collar image evokes a Canadian take on Springsteen, his voice--and especially his pop sensibility--recalls Rod Stewart during his post-Faces Top 40 years. There's a deceptively effortless sincerity that masks the sometimes mundane themes of the infectious hits (the cheap nostalgia of "Summer of '69" and the various romantic concerns of "Run to You," |
 | Best Shots list: $16.98 - our price: $13.99 by Capitol Audio CD
(10 October, 1989)
(36 reviews)  Editorial Review: When Pat Benatar tore onto the scene in the late '70s, her stage presence and attitude were just as formidable as her talent. One of the new breed of women in rock, Benatar, a trained opera singer, assumed all of the rock poses from her male lead singer counterparts and delivered each song with a take-no-prisoners attitude. |
 | Billboard Rock N Roll Christmas list: $9.98 - our price: $9.98 by Rhino Records Audio CD
(20 September, 1994)
(6 reviews)  Customer Review: A nice Christmas rock album, even with the comedy tracks: There is much to commend "Billboard Rock N Roll Christmas," starting with the opening track of Queen's "Thank God It's Christmas." |
 | Blaze Of Glory: Songs Written And Performed By Jon Bon Jovi, Inspired By The Film list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 by Mercury / Universal Audio CD
(07 June, 1994)
(37 reviews)  Customer Review: I have a soft spot for this one.: Jon Bon Jovi's singing is remarkably limited, a macho growl with terrible enunciation. His lyrics are an uneasy mix of rock cliches and occasional moments of nice phrasing. |
 | Bonfire list: $69.98 - our price: $55.99 Audio CD
(09 September, 2003)
(52 reviews)  Customer Review: This is really unique!!!: Thanks to angus and malcolm for caring enough to do this box-set "BONFIRE". They have done a great service to their fans on this one------The first cd is a live set performed in the Atlantic studio and contains 8 hits from there first couple of albums,t |
 | Bounce list: $13.98 - our price: $13.98 by Island Audio CD
(08 October, 2002)
(624 reviews)  Editorial Review: One of the few lineups to make the leap from 1980s "hair band" into long-term semi-respectability, Bon Jovi's eighth studio album is somewhat true to the band's pop-metal roots, though Bounce is ultimately mellower and more theatrical than previous outings. |
 | Box of Fire list: $119.98 - our price: $107.99 Audio CD
(22 November, 1994)
(11 reviews)  Customer Review: Good music, but not worth the price: The "Box Of Fire" brings together all of Aerosmith's releases for Columbia records, as well as a few rare tracks (of which the excellent "Rockin' Pneumonia And The Boogie Woogie Flu" is by far the most interesting).A |
 | Box of Scorpions (Dig) list: $39.98 - our price: $35.99 by Hip-O Records Audio CD
(25 May, 2004)
(5 reviews)  Customer Review: Great compilation but a lot of great songs were missing: When I saw this box set I was excited to see what are the songs included to this set. |
 | Caress of Steel list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 by Mercury / Universal Audio CD
(06 May, 1997)
(99 reviews)  Customer Review: Rush's highly underrated gem: Rush's third album Caress of Steel was released in September of 1975, just eight months after their sophomore effort Fly by Night. |
 | Cheap Trick - Authorized Greatest Hits list: $13.98 - our price: $13.98 Audio CD
(24 October, 2000)
(14 reviews)  Customer Review: Not Perfect, But Close: If you're looking for a Cheap Trick primer, this proabably your best bet. Out of all the odd-ball hits collections that CBS/Sony dumped on the market, |
 | Cheap Trick At Budokan: The Complete Concert list: $19.98 - our price: $14.99 Audio CD
(28 April, 1998)
(23 reviews)  Editorial Review: Originally released as a 10-track live album in the late 1970s when live albums were all the rage, At Budokan neatly summed up this oddball power-pop/hard rock band with the added ferocity a live show brings. |
 | Christmas in the Northwest III list: $13.99 - our price: $13.99 Audio CD
(01 October, 2003)
|
 | Christmas Time Again list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 by Cmc International Audio CD
(12 September, 2000)
(14 reviews)  Editorial Review: It's a long way from Jacksonville, Florida, to the North Pole, but first generation Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd put antifreeze in the old touring van and set a course for Santa's workshop with this seasonal outing. |
 | Chrome Smoke & Bbq: The Zz Top Box list: $59.98 - our price: $53.99 by Warner Brothers Audio CD
(14 October, 2003)
(15 reviews)  Customer Review: Chrome, Smoke, and BBQ: This newly remastered, four cd-set, "Chrome, Smoke, and BBQ", is the best way for one to start a ZZ Top collection. |
 | Classic Masters list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 by Capitol Audio CD
(30 July, 2002)
(12 reviews)  Customer Review: IF YOU GET ONE GFR CD, GET THIS ONE: At first glance you may think Classic Masters is just another Grand Funk Railroad Hits CD, and it is that. |
 | Classic Queen list: $13.98 - our price: $12.99 by Hollywood Records Audio CD
(10 March, 1992)
(76 reviews)  Editorial Review: This is an excellent collection of one of the most popular and influential rock bands of all time, though it omits "We Are the Champions" and "Fat Bottomed Girls" (these, however, can be found on the Greatest Hits album, |

 | Complete Studio Recordings list: $129.98 - our price: $116.99 by Atlantic Audio CD
(24 September, 1993)
(115 reviews)  Editorial Review: As Basil Bunting wrote about Ezra Pound's Cantos, "There are the Alps... you will have to go a long way round/if you want to avoid them." Led Zeppelin's work is the central fact of 1970s rock & roll; |
 | Corporate America list: $17.98 - our price: $13.99 by Artemis Records Audio CD
(05 November, 2002)
(230 reviews)  Editorial Review: There's something very curious about Boston's fifth album--and the road the band has traveled from arena-rock heights to its current less-than-lofty status. Here, after all, is a band--really, guitarist-studio wunderkind Tom Scholz and company--that emerged from nowhere and set sales records with their 1976 self-titled debut. |
 | Cross Road list: $13.98 - our price: $12.99 by Mercury / Universal Audio CD
(18 October, 1994)
(102 reviews)  Editorial Review: This best-of is loaded with the usual smash suspects plus three new cuts--the sub-Mellancamp "Someday I'll Be Saturday Night," the Bed of Roses-style ballad single "Always," and a low-key remake of "Living On A Prayer" titled "Prayer '94." |
 | Crush list: $13.98 - our price: $13.98 by Island Audio CD
(13 June, 2000)
(256 reviews)  Editorial Review: The growling, choppy guitar sample that opens the first track here, "It's My Life," is a virtual declaration of intent for the first Bon Jovi album in five years, a statement that they're updating the sound without abandoning the traditional virtues that made them one of the biggest bands on the planet. |
 | Dazed And Confused (1993 Film) list: $13.98 - our price: $13.98 by Warner Brothers Audio CD
(28 September, 1993)
(32 reviews)  Editorial Review: Tellingly, director Richard Linklatter's Dazed and Confusedwas released 20 years after American Grafitti and offers a similarstory of troubled young personalities lurking beneath an oversaturatedpop culture veneer. |
 | Different Stages list: $24.98 - our price: $22.99 by Atlantic Audio CD
(10 November, 1998)
(186 reviews)  Customer Review: An enjoyable collection: I am not thrilled by Rush's live performances . . . having seen them on tour only three times. Similarly, |
 | Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (Dlx) list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 Audio CD
(18 February, 2003)
(16 reviews)  Editorial Review: While Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap sounds like every other AC/DC album, it is distinguished by a lyrical puerility spectacular even by Bon Scott's standards. Two tracks--"Love at First Feel" and "Squealer"--are ruminations on the morality of sex with schoolgirls. |
 | Diver Down list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 by Warner Brothers Audio CD
(19 September, 2000)
(79 reviews)  Customer Review: ********IGNORE THE CRITICS*********: Ok, I'll be the first to admit that Diver Down is not the best Van Halen album BUT there are some timeless classics on it. |
 | Don't Fear The Reaper: The Best of Blue Öyster Cult list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 Audio CD
(08 February, 2000)
