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.

Audio CD (28 August, 2001)
(56 reviews)

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.

A Child's Celebration of Rock 'n' Roll

by Music Little People
Audio CD (30 January, 1996)
(11 reviews)

Editorial Review: Dust off your blue suede shoes and polish up the tail fins on the Chevy: this album transports listeners back to the 1950s and early 1960s with all-time classic rock & roll. Children will love the strong rhythms,

A Christmas Album
list: $17.98 - our price: $13.49
Audio CD (10 August, 1993)
(28 reviews)

Editorial Review: Amy Grant's first Christmas album is not only one of the best recordings of her career, it's easily one of the best contemporary Christmas collections available. Grant's Christian beliefs have been incorporated into her music for years,

A Christmas Gift for You From Phil Spector
list: $17.98 - our price: $13.49
by Abkco
Audio CD (08 December, 1990)
(37 reviews)

Editorial Review: This lavish holiday set has been called the greatest rock & roll Christmas album of all time. That's an opinion that's tough to argue with when you find yourself immersed in the massive sounds painstakingly crafted by legendary producer Phil Spector.

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.

Absolution
list: $13.98 - our price: $11.99
by Warner Brothers
Audio CD (23 March, 2004)
(85 reviews)

Editorial Review: One can't listen to Muse without hearing Bends-era Radiohead, so it's necessary to start there. But for all the familiar grandeur and gloom, Muse's other catharsis-rock influences, like Queen, Slade, and even Black Sabbath,

Achtung Baby
list: $13.98 - our price: $12.99
by Island
Audio CD (19 November, 1991)
(348 reviews)

Editorial Review: "I'm ready / Ready for what's next," Bono announces at the outset of Achtung Baby, the album that proved the so-called "band of the '80s" was capable of blazing into the '90s by replacing its flag-waving arena-rock stance with screaming synths,

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,

All Good Things: Jerry Garcia Studio Sessions

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,

All That You Can't Leave Behind
list: $13.98 - our price: $12.99
by Interscope Records
Audio CD (31 October, 2000)
(1216 reviews)

Editorial Review: The foursome come roaring out of the blocks with their latest collection. The album's first single, "Beautiful Day," raced to the No. 1 slot on the U.K. singles charts and received a similar rapturous reception stateside.

At the Close of a Century
list: $59.98 - our price: $53.99
by Motown / Pgd
Audio CD (23 November, 1999)
(96 reviews)

Editorial Review: At the Close of a Century may seem a rather portentous title for a box set, even one showcasing the work of such a formidable writer-performer as Stevie Wonder. Consider, though, that these discs appear a few months before Wonder's 50th birthday and that he's already spent 36 years making records;

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.

Beautiful Letdown
list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49
Audio CD (22 June, 2004)
(39 reviews)

Customer Review: Best CD in the history of the world!...Ever!: Wow is this CD incredible! Not only does it have the hit single "meant to live" but it has one of my favorite switchfoot songs,

Beethoven's Last Night
list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49
Audio CD (11 April, 2000)
(93 reviews)

Editorial Review: Trans-Siberian Orchestra's first two recordings, a pair of late-'90s Christmas albums, hinted that some day TSO might evolve into a latter-day ELO or even an ELP. Instead, this overwrought concept album shares more common ground with ALW (Andrew Lloyd Webber) or Meat Loaf.

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,

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 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 & White Night
list: $12.98 - our price: $10.99
by Orbison Records
Audio CD (25 January, 2000)
(18 reviews)

Editorial Review: All-star tribute events can take on a patronizing air as in-the-spotlight performers with shaky staying power prop up legends past their prime, displaying equal parts noble largesse and unseemly smugness.

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,

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.

Both Sides Now
list: $13.98 - our price: $11.99
by Warner Brothers
Audio CD (21 March, 2000)
(128 reviews)

Editorial Review: Joni Mitchell has long dabbled in the jazz world, forging alliances with the likes of Charles Mingus, Jaco Pastorius, and Wayne Shorter, while incorporating elements of fusion into her more intrepid recordings.

Brushfire Fairytales
list: $13.98 - our price: $11.99
by Universal
Audio CD (29 January, 2002)
(415 reviews)

Editorial Review: Fans of Willy Porter, Ben Harper, and G. Love will all want to check out Jack Johnson's engaging folk- and blues-inflected pop. Born in Oahu, Hawaii, Johnson, a former surfer and film-school graduate, has a knack for acoustic ballads whose calm surfaces hide a subtle but strong lyrical undertow.

Chris Isaak Christmas
list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49
by Warner Brothers
Audio CD (12 October, 2004)
Editorial Review: There are those who will argue that Chris Isaak's Christmas is worth the sticker price for its rendition of "Blue Christmas" alone, and you'll be hard-pressed to find a pack of listeners to debate them.

Christmas Eve and Other Stories
list: $15.98 - our price: $13.49
Audio CD (15 October, 1996)
(142 reviews)

Editorial Review: Is the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Christmas Eve and Other Stories a holiday rock opera? Or perhaps just a holiday prog-rock disc? Or maybe it's New Age? Whatever the case may be, this isn't your typical Christmas album.

Christmas Island
list: $7.98 - our price: $5.99
by Mca Special Products
Audio CD (05 October, 1999)
(11 reviews)

Editorial Review: It never snows in the Florida Keys, but as every Parrothead knows, Jimmy Buffett was born on Christmas Day 1946. His Caribbean folk tunes have always had a festive air to them, and his Coral Reefer Band tackle these holiday songs in their usual laidback style.

Chuck
list: $13.98 - our price: $11.99
by Island
Audio CD (12 October, 2004)
Editorial Review: There are few things more depressing than a goofy punk rock band that suddenly decides it needs to be taken seriously. Sum 41 did a brilliant job parodying corporate rock, pop and a large chunk of the '80s with breakthrough hit "Fat Lip."

CKY Vol. 2

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;

Customer Review: 5 stars for content, 1 star for value: $90 for 7 CD's = $13 per CD which is more than you would pay retail. No session info so you essentially pay for a cardboard box,

Crossroads
list: $59.98 - our price: $53.99
by Polydor / Pgd
Audio CD (25 October, 1990)
(30 reviews)

Editorial Review: Including both his band work (with the Yardbirds, John Mayall's Blues Breakers, Cream, Blind Faith, Delaney and Bonnie, and Derek and the Dominos) and his long, varied solo career, this four-CD set does a spectacular job in gathering several decades' worth of Clapton's best.

Editorial Review: George Harrison forged the most idiosyncratic, artistically stubborn career of any ex-Beatle. After the spectacular success of All Things Must Pass (whose glorious, Spectorized production Harrison all but disowned in later years),
