1	Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits [Bonus Tracks] (1999) more music like this by Janis Joplin A solid, if skimpy, ten-track best-of that gathers the most important songs from Janis Joplin's solo career, as well as her stint with Big Brother & the Holding Company. The compilation 18 Essential Songs offers a wider selection, but does not include the original version of "Me and Bobby McGee," which makes Greatest Hits the better purchase for ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.29!
2	Pearl (1971) more music like this by Janis Joplin Janis Joplin's second masterpiece (after Cheap Thrills), Pearl was designed as a showcase for her powerhouse vocals, stripping down the arrangements that had often previously cluttered her music or threatened to drown her out. Thanks also to a more consistent set of songs, the results are magnificent -- given room to breathe, Joplin's trademark ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.06!
3	Box of Pearls: The Janis Joplin Collection (1999) more music like this by Janis Joplin A limited-edition five-CD box set comprising both albums that Janis Joplin made with Big Brother & the Holding Company (Cheap Thrills and Big Brother & the Holding Company), both of her solo albums (I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! and Pearl), and a bonus EP with five previously unreleased recordings. Each of these four albums includes ... see all copies from $29.75! new only from $29.75!
4	Cheap Thrills [Bonus Tracks] (1999) more music like this by Big Brother & the Holding Company In the mid-'90s, Sony Music began remastering and upgrading many of the classic albums in their library, and Cheap Thrills got the bonus-track treatment in 1999. The major-label debut of Janis Joplin, the original LP was one of the most eagerly anticipated, and one of the most successful albums of 1968. Joplin and her band Big Brother & the ... see all copies from $7.35! new only from $7.35!
5	Janis (1993) more music like this by Janis Joplin This three-CD box set is the most thorough and valuable retrospective of Janis Joplin's career. Besides including all of her most essential recordings with and without Big Brother & the Holding Company, this 49-song package features quite a few enticing rarities; 18 of the tracks were previously unissued. These include a 1962 home recording of the ... see all copies from $40.92! new only from $40.92!
6	Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits (1973) more music like this by Janis Joplin A solid, if skimpy, ten-track best-of that gathers the most important songs from Janis Joplin's solo career, as well as her stint with Big Brother & the Holding Company. The compilation 18 Essential Songs offers a wider selection, but does not include the original version of "Me and Bobby McGee," which makes Greatest Hits the better purchase for ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $11.22!
7	Greatest Hits (1998) more music like this by Janis Joplin see all copies from $3.25! new only from $10.32!
8	Farewell Song (1983) more music like this by Janis Joplin A ragtag collection of odds and ends, live and studio, from both the Big Brother and solo era. The best cuts are on the Janis box in different versions, but serious fans will find some interesting items here, especially the Cheap Thrills-era outtakes and live performances; "Misery 'N," "Farewell Song," and "Catch Me Daddy" were easily good enough ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
9	Cheap Thrills (1968) more music like this by Big Brother & the Holding Company Cheap Thrills, the major-label debut of Janis Joplin, was one of the most eagerly anticipated, and one of the most successful, albums of 1968. Joplin and her band Big Brother & the Holding Company had earned extensive press notice ever since they played the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967, but for a year after that their only recorded work was ... see all copies from $6.50! new only from $11.00!
10	In Concert (1972) more music like this by Janis Joplin About half of this two-record set features Janis Joplin with Big Brother & the Holding Company in 1968, performing songs like "Down on Me" and "Piece of My Heart." The rest, recorded in 1970, finds her with her backup group, Full Tilt Boogie, mostly performing songs from I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! Joplin puts herself out on-stage, both ... see all copies from $6.19! new only from $6.19!
11 view cover	Love, Janis (2001) more music like this by Janis Joplin This companion album to the hit musical features spoken word excerpts of Joplin's letters home to her family, read by the cast member playing the troubled, deceased star. Thankfully, it's Joplin herself singing all the familiar tunes. "Piece of My Heart," "Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)," and "Me and Bobby McGee" are all dusted off once again for ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
12 view cover	I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! (1969) more music like this by Janis Joplin Janis Joplin's solo debut was a letdown at the time of release, suffering in comparison with Big Brother's Cheap Thrills from the previous year, and shifting her style toward soul-rock in a way that disappointed some fans. Removed from that context, it sounds better today, though it's still flawed. Fronting the short-lived Kozmic Blues Band, the ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $7.08!
13 view cover	18 Essential Songs (1995) more music like this by Janis Joplin 18 Essential Songs is a one-disc distillation of the triple-disc Janis box set. Running 70 minutes, it is a more extensive best-of than the ten-track 1973 Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits album. But it is denied "first pick" status because, unlike that album, it does not contain the hit version of Joplin's only number one single, "Me and Bobby McGee." ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $12.69!
14 view cover	The Essential Janis Joplin (2003) more music like this by Janis Joplin Columbia has managed to squeeze an impressive, perhaps excessive, number of compilations out of Janis Joplin's relatively slim body of recordings. With this two-CD set, The Essential Janis Joplin, the label's at it again, though it's a good one to get if you don't want to collect all the Joplin releases, and certainly don't want to get the ... see all copies from $20.39! new only from $20.39!
15	Janis Joplin (1978) more music like this by Janis Joplin see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.12!
16 view cover	Pearl [Legacy Edition] (2005) more music like this by Janis Joplin After the live Cheap Thrills, Pearl is undeniably Janis Joplin's studio classic, and her final recording, released posthumously. She departed the earth at the very top of her game creatively. The album was recorded with a less-is-more approach -- the explosive horn section so prevalent on Kozmic Blues was replaced by a rootsier, more organic ... see all copies from $22.14! new only from $22.14!
17 view cover	Big Brother & the Holding Company [Bonus Tracks] (1967) more music like this by Big Brother & the Holding Company Big Brother's debut album was not recorded under optimum circumstances. The sessions were too rushed, and the sound thinner than the band would have liked, especially given how much more powerful some of the material (such as "Down on Me") would sound in later concerts. Still, it's not the useless throwaway some critics have portrayed it as, and ... see all copies from $5.54!
18 view cover	Woodstock: Three Days of Peace & Music [25th Anniversary] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists This four-disc box set was released commemorating the 25th anniversary of the original Woodstock festival that took place in August 1969, and combined both of the Woodstock albums released in 1970 and 1971 with previously unreleased material. It's a well-known part of the festival's history that many of the participants played self-confessed ... see all copies from $48.96! new only from $48.96!
19 view cover	The Ultimate Hits of the 70's (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Nice collection of '70s hits, both pop and A.O.R. Features such huge hits as Boston's "More Than a Feeling," LaBelle's "Lady Marmalade," and Michael Murphey's "Wildfire." As you can see from those three highlights, the track listing is pretty diverse, perfect for listeners who want to re-create the experience of listening to the radio before it ... see all copies from $12.15! new only from $12.15!
20 view cover	Pop Music: The Golden Era 1951-1975 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists To commemorate the end of the century, Sony Music assembled the 26-disc box set Sony Music 100 Years: Soundtrack for a Century. The title was imposing, as was the idea behind it -- to chronicle the life of the oldest record label in the music industry. To be clear, Sony Music has not existed for 100 years, but the heart of its catalog, Columbia ... see all copies from $6.31! new only from $8.39!
21 view cover	Cheaper Thrills (1984) more music like this by Big Brother and the Holding Company Recorded on July 28, 1966, before the band had cut any studio material, this performance was one of Janis Joplin's first gigs with Big Brother. The sound is decent, with several famous staples of their repertoire already in place -- "Down on Me," "Coo-Coo," "Ball and Chain..." Big Brother were never noted for their polish, but made up for that ... see all copies from $19.12!
22 view cover	I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! [Bonus Tracks] (1999) more music like this by Janis Joplin Janis Joplin's solo debut was a letdown at the time of release, suffering in comparison with Big Brother's Cheap Thrills from the previous year, and shifting her style toward soul-rock in a way that disappointed some fans. Removed from that context, it sounds better today, though it's still flawed. Fronting the short-lived Kozmic Blues Band, the ... see all copies from $9.39!
23 view cover	Live at Winterland '68 (1998) more music like this by Big Brother & the Holding Company w/ Janis Joplin Recorded live in San Francisco on April 12 and April 13, 1968, this set is a snapshot of the band -- with fine sound -- reaching the peak of their form. All of the well-known songs from their first two albums are present: "Ball and Chain," "Down on Me," "Piece of My Heart," "Summertime," "Combination of the Two," and "Light Is Faster Than Sound," ... see all copies from $8.88!
24 view cover	70's Pop Hits (2001) more music like this by Various Artists 70's Pop Hits follows the usual tack of budget-line collections, grabbing a slate of oft-licensed tracks from the decade to fill out its three discs. This doesn't make it bad, by any means -- indeed, "Lowdown" from Boz Scaggs, Earth, Wind & Fire's "Shining Star," and the rollicking novelty of Dr. Hook's "Cover of the Rolling Stone" are just a few ... see all copies from $7.49!
25 view cover	Once Upon a Song (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Unlike most nostalgia-driven compilations, Once Upon a Song is free of the filler that has bogged down like-minded discs through the years. Focusing in on story-songs from the 1970s, a number of the best ones are here. Launched with what may be the ultimate example of said, Don McLean's timeless "American Pie," the tunes here veer from ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $11.06!
