Music-Online-Store - Classic Rock

Editorial Review: Few bands of the 1960s retained as much a sense of the roots of rock and roll as did Creedence Clearwater Revival. Their music is rife with country, rockabilly, and R&B influences, a combination that produced several hit singles--most of which are present on this collection.

"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.

by Island
Audio CD (16 November, 2004)
Editorial Review: Playing off of Elvis Presleys 1959 album 50 Million Elvis Presley Fans Cant 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&#

Audio CD (05 October, 1993)
(160 reviews)

Editorial Review: The closest the Beatles came to a greatest hits package, this document of the early part of their career features hit singles (in chronological order) and selected album tracks, running from "Love Me Do" through the groundbreaking Rubber Soul and Revolveralbums.

Audio CD (28 August, 2001)

Customer Review: Excellent overview of a great body of work: Having grown up with an older brother and a cousin who are rabid Billy Joel fans, I grew up listening to his music on a daily basis.

4 Way Street
list: $27.98 - our price: $24.99
by Atlantic
Audio CD (23 June, 1992)
(49 reviews)

Editorial Review: This is one of those albums where you'll want to cherry-pick favorites. Recorded live when the supergroup was at its commercial zenith, it's sloppy in spots where precision is called for. And the hyperbolic counterculture rants sound a bit silly these days (Bellows Stills: "Jesus Christ was the first nonviolent revolutionary!

A Very Special Christmas 3
list: $18.98 - our price: $13.99
by A&M Records
Audio CD (07 October, 1997)
(28 reviews)

Editorial Review: Part three of a series of records that benefits the Special Olympics, A Very Special Christmas 3 from 1997 is as excitingly eclectic as its predecessors. Though it features the likes of R&B chart toppers and hip-hoppers Mase,

Abbey Road
list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49
by Capitol
Audio CD (25 October, 1990)
(747 reviews)

Editorial Review: The Beatles' last days as a band were as productive as any major pop phenomenon that was about to split. After recording the ragged-but-right Let It Be, the group held on for this ambitious effort, an album that was to become their best-selling.

Acoustic
list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49
by Capitol
Audio CD (02 November, 2004)
Editorial Review: John Lennon was celebrated for the ornate and avant-garde adornments he brought to the Beatles, but he also at times responded to a powerful impulse to strip his music to its raw essence. Indeed, Lennon would have flourished in the unplugged era,

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,

All Good Things: Jerry Garcia Studio Sessions
list: $74.98 - our price: $67.49
by Rhino Records
Audio CD (20 April, 2004)
(7 reviews)

Editorial Review: Jerry Garcia fed an insatiable appetite for music in the '70s, a decade when the Grateful Dead released seven studio albums and three live collections. Simultaneously, he embarked on a solo career that,

Animals
list: $17.98 - our price: $13.99
by Capitol
Audio CD (25 April, 2000)
(361 reviews)

Editorial Review: Although not in the same vein as the deliciously hallucinogenic earlier Floyd works such as Ummagumma and Dark Side of the Moon, Animals is innovative and musically diverse in its own right. Inspired in part by George Orwell's political fable Animal Farm,

Appetite for Destruction
list: $13.98 - our price: $12.99
by Geffen Records
Audio CD (25 October, 1990)
(478 reviews)

Editorial Review: A glimpse of the future, and not because of its huge influence and umpteen million sales. The poor-little-rich-boy protest "Out ta Get Me" intimates that Axl Rose's egotism and martyr complex were soon to grow bigger than his head;

Are You Experienced
list: $13.98 - our price: $12.99
by Experience Hendrix
Audio CD (22 April, 1997)
(193 reviews)

Editorial Review: As emblematic of its time as of its sorcerer-like creator, 1967's Are You Experienced unleashed Jimi Hendrix onto a world in the midst of such cultural and musical shakeups that it really didn't seem as "far out" as it actually was.

As Time Goes By...The Great American Songbook: Volume II
list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49
by J-Records
Audio CD (21 October, 2003)
(121 reviews)

Editorial Review: At least Rod Stewart is consistent. Long accused by critics of selling his considerable interpretative talents short and playing it safe for the trappings of fame, Stewart revisits the font of his latest career revival here.

Away From The Sun
list: $13.98 - our price: $12.99
by Universal
Audio CD (12 November, 2002)
(68 reviews)

Customer Review: Awesome Rock Album: Very rarely do I like this kind of music. Yet 3 Doors Down do it so well, it's hard not to like it. They can manage to sound hard with a rock edge,

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,

Band
list: $16.98 - our price: $13.99
by Capitol
Audio CD (29 August, 2000)
(57 reviews)

Editorial Review: Popularly known as the "Brown Album," this is the collection people first think of when this august outfit's name is mentioned. The four-parts Canadian, one-part Arkansan quintet's sophomore effort boasts more soon-to-be-staples than any other Band studio recording,

Baptism
list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49
by Virgin Records
Audio CD (18 May, 2004)
(47 reviews)

Editorial Review: On Baptism, his seventh album, Lenny Kravitz writes, arranges, performs, and produces every track. The trouble with working alone is that there's little quality control; some of the songs here really could have benefited from a bit of that.

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 1980-1990
list: $13.98 - our price: $11.99
by Island
Audio CD (10 November, 1998)
(196 reviews)

Editorial Review: One need hear only the first notes of this collection--the Edge's ringing guitar notes ushering in "Pride (In the Name of Love)"-to be taken back to 1984: Ronald Reagan and Maggie Thatcher rule the Western world,

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 Bowie
list: $24.98 - our price: $22.99
by Virgin Records
Audio CD (22 October, 2002)
(55 reviews)

Editorial Review: Though one of rock's most influential figures, David Bowie's accomplishments are pocked by some distinct ironies. His willful efforts at being a musical and visual chameleon spurred triumphs in genres as diverse as folk,

Beyond Description 1973-1989
list: $149.98 - our price: $134.98
by Rhino Records
Audio CD (26 October, 2004)
Editorial Review: As the Grateful Dead story continues with this 12-disc sequel to the equally outsized The Golden Road (1965-1973), the band leaves the relative comfort of the '60s (hey, it suited them just fine) and heads into a period that will provide them with greater rewards as a performing outfit,

Billy Idol - Greatest Hits
list: $16.98 - our price: $13.99
by Capitol
Audio CD (27 March, 2001)
(48 reviews)

Editorial Review: Billy Idol's secret is one that he shares with, of all people, Trent Reznor--the ability to take a pop base and disguise it with layers of other genres, most notably hard rock. His adaptability is on display throughout this 16-song career retrospective.

Billy Joel - Greatest Hits Vol. 1-2
list: $31.98 - our price: $28.99
Audio CD (20 October, 1998)
(117 reviews)

Customer Review: THE definitive Joel Collection: Billy Joel has always been better as a singles artist than he is at recording albums. By condensing the highlights from the best part of his career (1973-1985) onto two discs,

Black Box: The Complete Original Black Sabbath (1970-1978)
list: $99.98 - our price: $89.99
by Rhino Records
Audio CD (27 April, 2004)
(44 reviews)

Editorial Review: One can make the case that the Beatles, while the most important band of all time, wasn't the most influential. Decades after Black Sabbath laid down the commandments of heavy metal--lyrically, not for the squeamish;

Blonde on Blonde
list: $19.98 - our price: $14.99
Audio CD (16 September, 2003)
(41 reviews)

Editorial Review: Considered an unprecedented magnum opus when it arrived on two records in May of 1966 (1997's Time out of Mind is actually only about a minute shorter), Blonde on Blonde featured Dylan continuing to demonstrate remarkable powers over the course of 14 new numbers.

Bob Seger - Greatest Hits
list: $15.98 - our price: $13.49
by Capitol
Audio CD (25 October, 1994)
(95 reviews)

Editorial Review: Bob Seger has racked up a lot of worthy tracks over the years, but it took until 1994 for a greatest hits package to appear. Voilà. The bad news: We're missing an awful lot of songs here. Night Moves is Seger's crit-pick album,

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

Bootleg Series 6: Concert at Philharmonic Hall
list: $21.98 - our price: $17.99
Audio CD (30 March, 2004)
(38 reviews)

Editorial Review: The brooding Bob Dylan of the 1966 live collection in the Dylan bootleg series gave way to an even more hooded character on the second live bootleg album from 1974. Which makes the jump back to a younger Dylan in this set all the more jarring.

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

Citizen Steely Dan: 1972-1980
list: $59.98 - our price: $53.99
Audio CD (14 December, 1993)
(52 reviews)

Editorial Review: As should be expected, Steely Dan's four-disc box set isn't like all the other rectangular pop-music retrospectives/tombstones. Not for Messrs. Walter Becker and Donald Fagen the typically bloated, ego-jacking crate padded out with childhood recordings,

(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;

Creedence Clearwater Revival

Audio CD (01 November, 2001)
(24 reviews)

Editorial Review: Popular but not hip, basic but not shallow, rooted but not retro, Creedence Clearwater Revival distinguished themselves in the late 1960s and early 1970s through these contradictions. This six-disc set is the definitive Creedence collection,
