1	La Bamba [Original Soundtrack] (1987) more music like this by Original Soundtrack After two critically acclaimed but only moderately selling albums, los Lobos were hired to record songs for the film biography of Hispanic '50s rocker Ritchie Valens, resulting in this soundtrack album, which, in addition to eight los Lobos recordings, features tracks by Marshall Crenshaw, Brian Setzer, and others. Los Lobos' remake of the title ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $11.11!
2	I'm a Man: The Chess Masters, 1955-1958 (2007) more music like this by Bo Diddley When a musician has a beat named after them, there's no doubt that they have their own signature -- a calling card that is recognized as their own even when others play it. It's rare that a musician gets credited with something so unique, but such an honor can also be a mild curse, as it implies that's all there is to their music. Bo Diddley, ... see all copies from $25.20! new only from $25.20!
3	The Definitive Collection (2007) more music like this by Bo Diddley Universal's 2007 set The Definitive Collection is a retitled reissue of the previously released 1997 comp His Best. No matter the title, this is an excellent 20-track roundup of Bo basics. To be sure, not everything great that he did is here by any means -- a bunch of great singles are missing, such as the crushing boogie of "Diddly Wah Diddy," ... see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
4	The Chess Box (1989) more music like this by Willie Dixon This was the most unusual, and probably the most difficult to assemble of MCA's Chess Box series, mostly because of the unusual nature of Willie Dixon's contribution to Chess Records. To be sure, Dixon rates a place in the history of the label right alongside that of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter, but his role was more subtle than ... see all copies from $22.26! new only from $22.26!
5	Tales from the Funk Dimension 1970-73: Drive by Bo (2004) more music like this by Bo Diddley see all copies from $11.67! new only from $19.51!
6	The Story of Bo Diddley: The Very Best of Bo Diddley (2006) more music like this by Bo Diddley Back in the late '80s, when the CD boom was on and people were busy feeding their new machines like the discs would disappear, MCA Records lavished some attention on the Bo Diddley catalog, putting out a few reissues of his earliest albums, a couple of hits compilations, and one flawed if well-intended box set -- and that was it. Across the nearly ... see all copies from $31.39! new only from $37.17!
7	Bo Diddley Is a Gunslinger [Bonus Tracks] (2004) more music like this by Bo Diddley The most flamboyantly packaged and distinctively themed of Bo Diddley's original albums, this record has always had unusual appeal, freely mixing truly wild R&B originals and distinctive covers (Bo even cops a legitimate arranging credit on "Sixteen Tons"). In this remastered edition, his and Peggy Jones' guitars have a resonant, bell-like clarity ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
8	The Chess Box (1990) more music like this by Bo Diddley Not every single track you'll ever want or need by the legendary shave-and-a-haircut rhythm R&B/rock pioneer, but a great place to begin. Two discs (45 songs) in a great big box with a nice accompanying booklet contain the groundbreaking introduction "Bo Diddley" (never again would he be referred to as Ellas McDaniel), its swaggering flipside "I'm ... see all copies from $24.99!
9	Basic Blues, Vol. 1 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.31! new only from $6.31!
10	Cruisin' 1959 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Part of L.A. DJ Hunter Hancock's theme included the declaration "you'll hear music that runs the gamut from bebop to ballads, swing to sweet, and blues to boogie." And while on this fifth installment of Increase Records' history of classic rock & roll radio, the claim isn't strictly true, Hancock is heard guffawing in between an array of R&B hits ... see all copies from $11.34! new only from $11.34!

12 view cover	The Best Jukebox Album in the World...Ever! (2000) more music like this by Various Artists As its somewhat hyperbolic title promises, The Best Jukebox Album in the World... Ever! collects some of the best singles from the '50s and '60s, including Duane Eddy's "Rebel Rouse," the Troggs' "Wild Thing," Booker T & the MGs' "Green Onions," and the Zombies' "She's Not There." Del Shannon's "Runaway," Gene Vincent's "Be-Bop-A-Lula," and the ... see all copies from $8.74! new only from $11.38!

14 view cover	That's Rock and Roll (2001) more music like this by Various Artists That's Rock and Roll is one of many compilations that collects some of the biggest hits of the early days of rock & roll in one set. Very little can be said about this music that has not been said before, these are recognizable classics that represent some of the finest musicians of the time. Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Ricky Nelson, Little Richard, ... see all copies from $25.19! new only from $25.19!
15 view cover	Best of Bo Diddley [Direct Source] (2006) more music like this by Bo Diddley One couldn't in good faith call this brief ten-song set the "best" of Bo Diddley, since most of the cuts presented aren't the original versions (two-thirds of what is here is actually Bo Diddley in live performance, and some of the live material isn't that well-recorded), but that doesn't mean this is an awful collection, just not an essential one ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $4.50!
16 view cover	Bo's Blues (1993) more music like this by Bo Diddley Bo's Blues features 22 of Bo Diddley's best blues-oriented sides from the Chess catalog, including some rare stuff -- the rip-roaring 1959 outing "Run Diddley Daddy," a jive-loaded "Cops and Robbers" from 1956 that features maraca shaker Jerome Green more than Diddley, and a surging "Down Home Special." If you think that everything Bo Diddley ever ... see all copies from $16.19! new only from $16.19!

18 view cover	Best of Blues [Madacy Box Set] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Unlike most of the Madacy collections on the market, the Best of Blues set consists of mostly high-quality blues recordings from some of the biggest names in the genre. Many different aspects of the blues are here, from the delicate piano ballads of Billie Holiday and Ray Charles to the rock/blues rave-ups of Rare Earth and John Mayall to the ... see all copies from $7.65! new only from $7.65!
19 view cover	Have Guitar, Will Travel (1959) more music like this by Bo Diddley Amazingly, Bo Diddley's third album -- containing classics such as "Cops and Robbers," "Run Diddley Daddy," and "Mona (I Need You Baby)" -- has only been reissued on vinyl, and even that's out of print. More than one British Invasion band learned what they needed to know about American rock & roll from the songs on this record (the Stones cut ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
20 view cover	The Essential Bo Diddley (2001) more music like this by Bo Diddley see all copies from $12.11! new only from $12.11!
21 view cover	The New Rose Story (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Unmistakably packaged in a neon pink box, this four-CD survey of the first 20 years of France's New Rose label is an essential guide to the European post-punk underground -- and that's the real underground, the stable and singles that may not have had the critical impact of Rough Trade, Homestead, Hot, or Blast First, but who informed more of ... see all copies from $26.36! new only from $26.36!
22 view cover	Hey (2005) more music like this by Bo Diddley A relatively slick live set from the maverick Bo Diddley, Hey doesn't add anything significant to his legacy, but it certainly reaffirms it with sturdy renditions of "Roadrunner" and "Mona" and an over-ten-minute rendition of "I'm a Man." The introductory track opens with that patented shave-and-a-haircut rhythm that is known as "the Bo Diddley," ... see all copies from $2.40! new only from $2.40!
23 view cover	Go Bo Diddley (1959) more music like this by Bo Diddley see all copies from $40.00!
24	His Greatest Sides, Vol. 1 (1983) more music like this by Bo Diddley There never was a Volume Two, partly owing to the change in ownership of the Chess Records catalog in the mid-'80s. At the time, however, this single LP offered the best sound on the classic Bo Diddley songs, even if it didn't match Got My Own Bag Of Tricks in the number of tracks. It wasn't bad, but the Chess Box has made it irrelevant. Bruce ... see all copies from $8.00!
25 view cover	The London Bo Diddley Sessions (1973) more music like this by Bo Diddley After Howlin' Wolf made the Billboard album charts in 1970 with his London Howlin' Wolf Sessions release, Chess duly began preparing similarly titled albums by its remaining roster of stars -- Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry followed the Wolf -- and in 1973 this Bo Diddley release came along. Actually, a lot of it was done in Chicago, with the London ... see all copies from $3.00!
