1	The Complete Hit Singles (2004) more music like this by Three Dog Night Three Dog Night ran off a string of 21 Top 40 hits between 1968 and 1975, including three number ones: "Joy to the World," "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)," and "Black & White." Despite this, they are often written off as a lightweight band who couldn't write their own songs. Granted they were laid-back and very easygoing, but they had some heft. The ... see all copies from $7.03! new only from $10.96!
2	The Best of Randy Newman (2001) more music like this by Randy Newman Randy Newman has been beloved of critics, record geeks, and music fans for years, so much so that Rhino's 2001 compilation The Best of Randy Newman may seem like a case of preaching to the converted, at least to those who worship Newman. After all, anybody who's been paying attention realizes his sly genius, not just as a songwriter, but as a ... see all copies from $8.70! new only from $9.31!
3	Pure 70's (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Since there was a Pure Funk and Pure Disco, it makes sense that a Pure '70s would follow. It couldn't be called "Pure Rock," since a lot of this simply doesn't rock at all -- "American Pie," anyone? However, all 20 songs on this collection (mostly culled from the Polygram vaults) reek of the '70s, and that's why this is a fun listen. Yes, it's ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.96!
4	Billboard Top Rock & Roll Hits: 1970 (1989) more music like this by Various Artists The 1970 entry in Billboard's ongoing year-by-year retrospective is notable for its inclusion of three undisputed Motown classics -- Smokey Robinson & the Miracles' "Tears of a Clown," Edwin Starr's "War," and the Jackson 5's monumental "I Want You Back." The remaining tracks inevitably suffer by comparison, although Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in ... see all copies from $3.22! new only from $9.67!
5	Reloaded: Greatest Hits (2003) more music like this by Tom Jones Reloaded differs from the slew of Tom Jones compilations available by including songs from his later career, a time he was messing about with contemporary pop artists. The fact that 1999's pop guest star-filled Reload failed to raise an eyebrow in America is a marketing faux pas of monolithic proportions, since it was so ultra-fantastic and ultra ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $13.34!
6	Greatest Hits: Platinum Edition (2006) more music like this by Tom Jones see all copies from $9.92! new only from $13.00!
7	Seven Separate Fools/Around the World with Three Dog Night (2006) more music like this by Three Dog Night This double-CD set will likely be of special interest to fans of Three Dog Night -- even to more casual listeners with long memories -- since the contents of the second disc, Around the World with Three Dog Night, have never before been on CD, and that was a massively popular double-live LP. The Three Dog Night catalog has never exactly been given ... see all copies from $19.20! new only from $19.20!
8	G.I. Jane (1997) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Three Dog Night's "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)" is here, along with Bad Company's "Feel Like Makin' Love," which is also a good song, if you could cut out about eight bars at the end. And John Lee Hooker is his own bad self with "Dimples." But the bookends of the G.I. Jane soundtrack are the interesting points. The CD opens with two newly recorded ... see all copies from $9.99!
9	It Ain't Easy (1970) more music like this by Three Dog Night After a remarkable string of hits through 1969, Three Dog Night released It Ain't Easy, its fourth album in less than 18 months. Once again, it was a hot seller, going to number eight. Once again, it consisted primarily of songs written by some of rock music's best, but as yet unheralded, composers. And this time, the group had its first number ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.42!
10	Reload (1999) more music like this by Tom Jones It had been six years since Tom Jones released his last stateside record, but this one scored big in England and on the Continent, for good reason. Ultra-modern and topical, Reload suggests you can easily ignore Jones' "What's New Pussycat?" past. Not only does Jones deliver one of the more invigorating workings of modern pop here, his selection ... see all copies from $2.90! new only from $7.21!
11 view cover	Queer (1991) more music like this by The Wolfgang Press Recorded with the aid of ex-Throwing Muses bassist Leslie Langston, Queer is the Wolfgang Press' leap into the world of dance music. The cover of Randy Newman's "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)" underscores the record's stranger-in-a-strange-land vibe as Michael Allen's dramatic vocals and arcane obsessions collide head-on with the ecstatic physicality ... see all copies from $1.99!
12 view cover	Lonely at the Top: The Best of Randy Newman (1998) more music like this by Randy Newman From a chart standpoint, Randy Newman's only Top 40 hit came in the form of 1977's "Short People, which reached the number two spot, backed by the Eagles' Timothy B. Schmit, J.D. Souther, and Glenn Frey. Actually, it's the music of Newman's career that didn't chart that made him one of the most renowned songwriters of the modern era. Lonely at the ... see all copies from $5.90! new only from $8.16!
13 view cover	Guilty: 30 Years of Randy Newman (1998) more music like this by Randy Newman Throughout his entire career, Randy Newman was at the fringes of popular music. He peeked through the curtains every so often, whether it was in the form of a film composer or a novelty hitmaker, but he always remained a cult act, albeit one with enormous influence and respect. He had enough fans (particularly those in the industry) to keep a ... see all copies from $46.60! new only from $52.48!
14 view cover	Boogie Nights, Vol. 2 (1998) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The first volume of the Boogie Nights soundtrack was loaded with great songs -- all of which were featured in the movie, which is a rare thing in Hollywood in the '90s -- but it happened to leave just as many good songs behind. Boogie Nights, Vol. 2 corrects that problem by rounding up many of the best songs from the movie that were not included ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $11.13!
15 view cover	Celebrate: The Three Dog Night Story, 1965-1975 (1993) more music like this by Three Dog Night One of the better compilations of Three Dog Night material, Celebrate covers all the important bases in the popular singles band's career. There's a brief hint of pre-3DN material from co-lead singers Danny Hutton and Cory Wells (no Chuck Negron), along with one stellar, tragically unreleased track from the band's brief Redwood incarnation, the ... see all copies from $12.88! new only from $27.55!
16 view cover	Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas [Original Soundtrack] (1998) more music like this by Original Soundtrack For years, it was speculated that Hunter S. Thompson's wild, dope-fueled, hallucinatory Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was simply one of those books that couldn't be adapted for film. Nevertheless, Terry Gilliam -- possibly one of the only contemporary directors with enough visual panache to pull it off -- brought it to life in 1998 with Johnny ... see all copies from $8.34! new only from $8.34!
17 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Three Dog Night (1999) more music like this by Three Dog Night All of Three Dog Night's staples are included on The Millennium Collection: The Best of Three Dog Night, including "Joy to the World," "One," "Mama Told Me Not to Come," "Eli's Coming," "Easy to Be Hard," and "An Old Fashioned Love Song." A compact and entertaining compilation of the group's biggest singles. Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
18 view cover	What IS So Funny About Peace Love & Understanding? (2001) more music like this by Brinsley Schwarz Although it doesn't top the peerless Hen's Teeth -- which is about as perfect an archival release as any Brinsley fan could hope for -- it's impossible not to delight in Hux's 2001 collection, What IS So Funny About Peace Love and Understanding, a collection of the band's Radio 1 sessions from 1972 and 1975. This is not the complete sessions, but ... see all copies from $16.81! new only from $16.81!
19 view cover	Rock On 1970 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Madacy's Rock On '70s series is a low-priced roundup of popular songs from each year of the decade. The songs are wide-ranging and, although they seem thrown together with little regard to context or pacing, do a fairly good job of recreating what 45 minutes or so of listening to a decent AM station would have been like. The 1970 volume includes ... see all copies from $6.42! new only from $6.42!
20 view cover	Greatest Hits [Germany/UK] (2003) more music like this by Tom Jones see all copies from $22.83! new only from $22.83!
21 view cover	Girl Like You (1992) more music like this by The Wolfgang Press see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
22 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 $9.93! new only from $9.93!
23 view cover	Las Vegas [Original TV Soundtrack] (2005) more music like this by Original TV Soundtrack When NBC's Las Vegas premiered in fall 2003, it was a refreshing return to the episodic hourlong drama, a format that was getting killed by family-man sitcoms on one side and reality TV on the other. Of course the critics hated it -- the rehashed stand-alone plot lines and cartoonish characters, its implicit shill for the real Vegas. But the show ... see all copies from $14.32! new only from $14.32!
24 view cover	Mama Told Me Not to Come [#1] (1992) more music like this by The Wolfgang Press see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
25 view cover	35th Anniversary Hits Collection (2004) more music like this by Three Dog Night 35th Anniversary Hits Collection is a pleasant set that combines Three Dog Night (with original vocalists Danny Hutton and Cory Wells, sans Chuck Negron) and the London Symphony Orchestra. The fusion of Three Dog Night's patented blue-eyed soul vocals with lush arrangements provides a glimpse of the direction they could have pursued had they not ... see all copies from $8.40! new only from $14.56!
