1	The Best of Sade (1994) more music like this by Sade By the time this was released in 1994, something unexpected happened. Sade's early work became classic and the later additions boasted even better vocals and songs that nicely improved on the theme. The timeless sound and class always exhibited makes Sade Adu and her band a no-brainer for an appealing compilation. Like Al Green's Greatest Hits, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.61!
2	Greatest Hits (1998) more music like this by Earth, Wind & Fire Columbia's 1998 collection of Earth, Wind & Fire's Greatest Hits in many ways stands as the group's definitive compilation. Even though there have been more extensive overviews of the group's work, such as the triple-disc set The Eternal Dance, this is the first collection to contain all of the group's biggest hits on one disc. All but one ("Love ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $11.08!
3	The Bodyguard (1992) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Few observers expected that Whitney Houston's first big-screen role in 1992's The Bodyguard would generate a phenomenon. Not that the film itself was a phenomenon -- it was a healthy success, due not only to Houston, but to her co-star Kevin Costner's drawing power -- but the soundtrack's success was astonishing. The Bodyguard followed Houston's ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.99!
4	Can't Slow Down (1983) more music like this by Lionel Richie On Can't Slow Down, his second solo album, Lionel Richie ran with the sound and success of his eponymous debut, creating an album that was designed to be bigger and better. It's entirely possible that he took a cue from Michael Jackson's Thriller, which set out to win over listeners of every corner of the mainstream pop audience, because Richie ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.66!
5	Guilty (1980) more music like this by Barbra Streisand The biggest selling album of Barbra Streisand's career is also one of her least characteristic. The album was written and produced by Barry Gibb in association with his brothers and the producers of the Bee Gees, and in essence it sounds like a post-Saturday Night Fever Bee Gees album with vocals by Streisand. Gibb adapted his usual style somewhat ... see all copies from $2.07! new only from $9.08!
6	The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol. 1 (1978) more music like this by Earth, Wind & Fire When it was originally released in 1978, The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol. 1 was a succinct, ten-track collection of the group's best and biggest singles up to that point. There was one brand-new song, the excellent "September," which soon became a hit in its own right, plus the non-LP Beatles cover "Got to Get You Into My Life," which was ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.06!
7	Every Great Motown Hit of Marvin Gaye (1983) more music like this by Marvin Gaye The title is a bit of a misnomer, as you could count up on the fingers of both hands all the early hits that aren't on this 15-track collection. But if it's latter-day Marvin you're looking for -- from "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" through tracks like "Let's Get It On" and "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)" -- this set will fill the bill ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.33!
8	Legacy: The Greatest Hits Collection (2001) more music like this by Boyz II Men Released a decade into Boyz II Men's enormously successful career and a year after another best-of collection, Ballad Collection, Legacy: The Greatest Hits Collection puts all the quartet's hits on one disc. Songs like "Motownphilly" and "End of the Road" were phenomenons during their reign atop the Billboard charts, and many of the other songs ... see all copies from $5.68! new only from $11.31!
9	The Definitive Collection (2003) more music like this by Lionel Richie It's hard to believe, but prior to the 2003 release of The Definitive Collection, there wasn't a proper hits collection in Lionel Richie's catalog. A decade earlier, Motown dipped their toe in the water with the jumbled Back to Front, which tried desperately to camouflage its nature as a comp with three new songs, which, at 14 tracks, hurt the hit ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $11.31!
10	Greatest Hits (1999) more music like this by Luther Vandross Luther Vandross' 1999 Greatest Hits may not be as generous as 1989's The Best of Luther Vandross, which contained 20 tracks on two discs, but it's a good, concise, 14-track collection that includes many of his very best songs. There is a lot of overlap with Best Of -- it shares no less than nine tracks with that collection -- but it also has such- ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $8.99!
11 view cover	Weekend in L.A. (1977) more music like this by George Benson Recording live at Los Angeles' Roxy club -- then a showcase for many of the hottest acts in pop -- was just the tonic that George Benson and his Breezin' band needed on this often jumping album. With unusually lively crowds (for a record-industry watering hole) shouting encouragement, the band gets deep into the four-on-the-floor funk and Benson ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.03!
12 view cover	Rapture (1986) more music like this by Anita Baker Though Anita Baker got some airplay out of The Songstress, that promising solo debut didn't bring her financial security. In fact, Baker was earning her living as a legal secretary in her native Detroit when she signed with Elektra in the mid-'80s. Elektra gave her a strong promotional push, and the equally superb Rapture became the megahit that ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.17!
13 view cover	The Best of Anita Baker (2002) more music like this by Anita Baker Rhino's 2002 compilation The Best of Anita Baker contains all of her hits -- both the pop crossovers and songs that were big only on the R&B charts. Many of these songs are presented in their single edits, not the album versions, which is a plus, since these are the versions that were played on the radio. Although it is true that nothing Anita ... see all copies from $7.50! new only from $16.52!
14 view cover	Who Is Jill Scott?: Words and Sounds, Vol. 1 (2000) more music like this by Jill Scott Though start-up label Hidden Beach and its manufacturer/distributor Sony may have been hoping for another Lauryn Hill in this eloquent young African-American from a Middle Atlantic state, Jill Scott turns out to be something of a hip-hop Patti Smith, a street poet who, on her first album, hasn't quite made the transition from spoken word ... see all copies from $5.40! new only from $11.31!
15 view cover	Giving You the Best That I Got (1988) more music like this by Anita Baker The sizeable following that Anita Baker acquired with Rapture proved quite receptive to the only slightly less appealing Giving You the Best That I Got -- an album that's quite similar to its predecessors. Though not quite on a par with The Songstress or Rapture, Best is far superior to most of 1988's uninspired R&B releases. Instead of tampering ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
16 view cover	Give Me the Night (1980) more music like this by George Benson This is the peak of George Benson's courtship of the mass market -- a superbly crafted and performed pop album with a large supporting cast -- and wouldn't you know that Quincy Jones, the master catalyst, is the producer. Q's regular team, including the prolific songwriter Rod Temperton and the brilliant engineer Bruce Swedien, is in control, and ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $7.35!
17 view cover	Compositions (1990) more music like this by Anita Baker On Rapture and Giving You the Best That I Got, Anita Baker embraced a blend of technology and "real instruments" -- a definite contrast to the completely high-tech approach of so much '80s and '90s R&B. But on Compositions, producer Michael J. Powell moved even closer to a '70s-like approach to R&B -- recording Baker's vocals live in the studio, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.85!
18 view cover	I Want You (1976) more music like this by Marvin Gaye I Want You, while it was a Top Ten smash for Marvin Gaye in 1976, is not as generally well-known as its predecessors for a number of reasons. First, it marked a sharp change in direction, leaving his trademark Motown soul for lush, funky, light disco. Secondly, its subject matter is as close to explicit as pop records got in 1976. Third, Gaye hadn ... see all copies from $2.05! new only from $7.79!
19 view cover	Softly with These Songs: The Best of Roberta Flack (1993) more music like this by Roberta Flack Roberta Flack was blessed with one of the loveliest, most soothing voices in the music industry. In the 1970s, she not only appealed to pop and R&B audiences, but also fit in with the era's more serious, sensitive singer/songwriters. She scored some of the decade's biggest hits with classics such as "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," "Killing ... see all copies from $3.43! new only from $10.76!
20 view cover	Greatest Hits [Jive] (1989) more music like this by Billy Ocean Billy Ocean's Greatest Hits packs nearly all of the singer's charted singles that were on the Jive record label. Ocean scored an impressive run of feel-good Top 40 hits in the mid- to late '80s, including three number one singles, those being the classic post-disco jam "Caribbean Queen," the ballad "There'll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)," and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.06!
21 view cover	Renaissance (2001) more music like this by Lionel Richie Lionel Richie, barring his success in the '80s with such hits as "Hello," "Running With the Night," and "All Night Long," has struggled to find his place in music after life with the Commodores. Renaissance, Richie's 2001 release, is another post-Commodores album that misses the mark. Most of the songs don't particularly fit any radio format, with ... see all copies from $1.99!
22 view cover	Aretha's Best (2001) more music like this by Aretha Franklin Rhino's Aretha's Best is notable for attempting to squeeze highlights of every era of Aretha's career onto one disc. Unfortunately, the compilers threw logic and chronology out the window, preferring to vacillate between classic Atlantic recordings and very good latter-day Arista recordings. There are certainly some great performances missing, but ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $16.52!
23 view cover	The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Stephen Elliot's 1994 film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert sparkled as it traced the journey of two drag queens, a transsexual, and their pink bus "Priscilla" across the Australian outback. The visuals alone were worth the price of admission, but, with songs leaping off the big screen and onto CD, the accompanying soundtrack album ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $13.34!
24 view cover	Love Songs [2007] (2007) more music like this by Natalie Cole Like a lot of artists who have had compilations released as part of the various Love Songs series that have surfaced from different labels, Natalie Cole has released so many songs that fit the bill -- just about 95-percent of her output, in fact -- that it seems redundant to gather her material in the name of the theme. So it's no surprise that ... see all copies from $14.61! new only from $16.52!
25 view cover	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 $1.99! new only from $12.95!
