1	The Very Best of Kool & the Gang (1999) more music like this by Kool & the Gang Spanning the band's early-'70s genesis as an unhinged funk congregation and their later resurgence with urbane R&B balladry and synth-inflected disco, The Very Best of Kool & the Gang may not be a unified collection, but it is the first to offer every hit that's expected -- as well as a few that aren't -- from the band's long career. The emphasis ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $9.92!
2	I Want My 80's Box (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Released more or less in conjunction with MTV's 20th anniversary in 2001, this triple gatefold sleeve set ( not a box as the title implies), with an appropriately gaudy 27-page book, delivers 42 typical examples of songs associated with the music channel in its fledgling years. With 35 Top Ten tracks, ten of which topped the charts, there's no ... see all copies from $31.54! new only from $31.54!
3	Pure Funk (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Since Pure Disco was a success, Mercury decided to assemble a sequel, Pure Funk. Like its predecessor, Pure Funk is a terrific 20-track collection of funk classics, from Rick James"Super Freak" to Parliament's "Flashlight." A couple of songs are marginally funk -- it's hard to call the kitsch-fest "Kung Fu Fighting" or Earth, Wind & Fire's sultry ... see all copies from $3.93! new only from $13.34!
4	Pure Disco [Polygram] (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Pure Disco contains 12" mixes and remixes of classic dance and disco songs from the late '70s, including "I Love the Nightlife," "I Will Survive," "Celebration," "That's the Way (I Like It)," "Funkytown," "YMCA," and "Dancing Queen." Though there are a few original versions of these singles on the disc, most of it is comprised of remixes, which ... see all copies from $5.72! new only from $13.34!
5	Emergency (1984) more music like this by Kool & the Gang This album marked the end of Kool & the Gang's 15-year association with De-Lite Records. Impressively, the group charted each of those 15 years, including ten number one singles. Emergency continued that tradition, and was responsible for two of those number one singles. The first release, "Misled," with its crackin' bassline, led the charge; it ... see all copies from $3.98!
6	Forever (1986) more music like this by Kool & the Gang Kool & the Gang's penultimate album, and vocalist James "J.T." Taylor's last with the band before he left for a solo career, 1986's Forever marked the group's final Top Ten hit. And, while it was still a slick slab of competent R&B, Forever was a far cry from the driving funk grooves of Kool's earlier material. Having been fully in the grasp of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.00!
7	No. 1 Hits of the 80's [Rebound] (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Polygram Records' budget imprint Rebound has released many compilations, and they often resemble mix tapes one might make; they aren't always tightly formatted into genres. The songs on 1997's No. 1 Hits of the 80's are all over the style map. The CD features 12 songs, two of which are bonus cuts. Classics of the era include Irene Cara's ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $3.95!
8	Disco Box (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Rhino's four-CD Disco Box is the most impressive disco retrospective yet assembled, featuring 80 tracks and exhaustive liner notes which chronicle the music's history, artists, innovations, and subsequent influence. Like many of the best Rhino anthologies of this sort, The Disco Box is a mixture of acknowledged classics and neglected yet ... see all copies from $8.49! new only from $51.67!
9	Gold (2005) more music like this by Kool & the Gang Believe it or not, Gold is the first compilation with U.S. distribution to provide a fair and rather thorough glance at Kool & the Gang's career from 1969 through 1987. Dozens upon dozens of other sets either focus on one of the group's distinct eras or attempt clumsily to appease those who want "Jungle Boogie" and "Joanna" in one spot. The ... see all copies from $19.52! new only from $19.52!
10	Let Me Clear My Throat (1996) more music like this by DJ Kool DJ Kool's Let Me Clear My Throat was one of the most invigorating hip-hop records of the mid-'90s, simply because it didn't follow conventional hardcore, alternative, or gangsta rap patterns. Instead, DJ Kool returned to the wild, careening atmosphere of freestyle, old-school hip-hop, anchoring the rhymes with spare scratching and elastic reggae ... see all copies from $4.37! new only from $4.37!

12 view cover	Light of Worlds (1974) more music like this by Kool & the Gang see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
13	Coming Back Hard Again (1988) more music like this by The Fat Boys The last Fat Boys LP to make any noise, this sixth Sutra release proved their second most successful album, peaking at 33 and earning them their last gold record. It piggybacked on the success of "Louie Louie," their last chart single. They did try to adjust to changing audience demands, cutting "Rock The House, Y'All" and "Powerlord," but The Fat ... see all copies from $7.52!
14 view cover	The Funk Box (2000) more music like this by Various Artists At four discs and 55 tracks, Hip-O's Funk Box seems to want to be the last word on funk, and while it's a pretty good set, it ends up more representative than definitive of its chosen genre. Virtually all of funk's most important artists are featured, but not always by their most significant singles -- sometimes the collection gets it right, and ... see all copies from $51.42! new only from $51.42!
15 view cover	Pangaea (2004) more music like this by Visionaries see all copies from $9.98! new only from $13.92!
16 view cover	The Best of Kool & the Gang 1969-1976 (1993) more music like this by Kool & the Gang Although Kool & the Gang became pop superstars in the 1980s on the strength of J.T. Taylor's silky voice and several catchy arrangements, R&B fans regard their true glory days as the 1970s. The New Jersey-based ensemble patented a jazz-tinged funk approach keyed by Robert "Kool" Bell's basslines, red-hot horn lines, chunky keyboards and guitar ... see all copies from $7.20! new only from $13.34!
17 view cover	Body + Soul: Sweet Seduction (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Body & Soul: Sweet Seduction isn't much different from the other volumes in Time/Life's Body & Soul series: It's a collection of smooth, romantic soul and urban contemporary from the '70s and '80s. But even if there isn't much rhyme or reason as to which songs were chosen for which volumes, this is still a pretty strong double-disc set. It's ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $17.90!
18 view cover	Wild and Peaceful (1973) more music like this by Kool & the Gang Prior to James "JT" Taylor adding pop flavor vocals, which help garner a handful of top selling albums, this was Kool & the Gang's most successful album, spawning three bonafide R&B hits. Produced by Robert Bell, and featuring Donal Boyce's incredulous vocals, these songs have held up well. The fast, chugging "Jungle Boogie" was a club favorite, ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
19	In the Heart (1983) more music like this by Kool & the Gang By the time 1983's In the Heart hit the streets, Kool & the Gang had left the fast lanes of funk for the smoother ride of the adult-oriented R&B expressway. Nevertheless, their grasp of 1980s soul sonics ensured that the band continued to top the charts with a verve and style that left their early influences firmly behind. With Ronald Bell ... see all copies from $4.99!
20 view cover	12" Collection & More (1999) more music like this by Kool & the Gang This collection of 12" tracks features a nice mix of the group's older, funkier stuff with its soul-pop hits of the '80s, including "Open Sesame," "Love and Understanding," "Get Down on It," "Tonight," and "Ladies Night." Many Gang fans will savor the tracks; casual fans may find this to be overkill. Those who have heard "Celebration" one time too ... see all copies from $6.19! new only from $6.19!
21 view cover	Billboard Top Hits: 1981 (1981) more music like this by Various Artists As this volume of Billboard's continuing series illustrates, Billboard Top Hits: 1981 covers a year of considerable flux in pop radio -- where hits like Kool & the Gang's "Celebration" rode in on the last remaining fumes of the disco era, Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" and Juice Newton's "Queen of Hearts" heralded country's increasing encroachment into ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $6.42!
22 view cover	How Ya Like Me Now (1987) more music like this by Kool Moe Dee Kool Moe Dee resented the fact that in the mid- to late '80s, most of rap's founding fathers were enjoying little attention. But Dee himself was one of the few exceptions, and the old-school survivor had a major hit with his sophomore effort, How Ya Like Me Now. He would have done better to devote more time to storytelling and less time to ... see all copies from $4.05! new only from $4.05!
23 view cover	Funky Stuff: The Best of Funk Essentials (1993) more music like this by Various Artists For those looking to find a crash course in "the funk" -- a quick introduction to the fusion of R&B, soul, jazz, blues, good old rock & roll, and all-out outrageousness that creates the ultimate good groove -- you can't do much better than the Funk Essentials compilations. Funky Stuff: The Best of Funk Essentials is the perfect portrait. With its ... see all copies from $5.75! new only from $5.84!

25 view cover	Instant Party Disc: Regular Strength (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The idea behind Rhino's Instant Party Disc series is that any compilation bearing the label Instant Party Disc is guaranteed to turn the lamest gathering into a rip-roaring bash. Which is why there's nothing but party favorites here, regardless of style, genre or decade -- "Celebration," "We Are Family," "Tequila," "Rock This Town," "Mickey," ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $16.85!
