1	More Silly Songs (1998) more music like this by Disney More Silly Songs collects classic and contemporary silly sing-alongs, including "Purple People Eater," "Pop Goes the Weasel," "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor (On the Bedpost Overnight)," and "Polly Wolly Doodle." "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly," "On Top of Spaghetti," and "Splish Splash" are some of the other humorous songs ... see all copies from $6.16! new only from $6.16!
2	Kidz Bop Halloween (2004) more music like this by Kidz Bop Kids Another volume in the ever-growing Kidz Bop series, Kidz Bop Kids: Halloween actually serves more of a purpose than the regular pop- and rock-oriented Kidz Bop volumes, as singalong albums of Halloween pop songs for kids are in somewhat short supply. The album features an even mix of movie and TV show themes ("Ghostbusters," "Scooby Doo," "The ... see all copies from $10.10! new only from $13.83!
3	Dr. Demento 20th Anniversary Collection: The Greatest Novelty Records of All Time (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Dr. Demento 20th Anniversary Collection: The Greatest Novelty Records of All Time gathers two discs' worth of highlights from the five-volume Dr. Demento Presents series, as well as some of the good doctor's other favorite novelty singles. Anyone familiar with Demento's show will instantly recognize the Firm's "Star Trekkin'," Barnes & Barnes' ... see all copies from $21.71! new only from $21.71!
4	Taken [DreamWorks] (2003) more music like this by Original Television Soundtrack Opening appropriately with Dinah Washington's "Stairway to the Stars," this collection of songs from the 2002 alien abduction-themed television miniseries Taken spans six decades of popular music. This hodgepodge of '50s novelty hits, Sheb Wooley's "Purple People Eater," and counterculture standards from the likes of Love, Bob Dylan, and the ... see all copies from $1.99!
5	Classic Judy Garland: The Capitol Years 1955-1965 (2002) more music like this by Judy Garland In his book Judy Garland: The Day-by-Day Chronicle of a Legend, Scott Schechter wrote for August 1955: "Judy signed a...recording contract with Capitol Records, where she would make her finest recordings." As annotator, co-producer, and co-compiler of Classic Judy Garland: The Capitol Years 1955-1965, Schechter is able to give substance to his ... see all copies from $8.05! new only from $11.99!
6	Chart Toppers: Dance Hits of the 50s (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Priority's Chart Toppers series is an excellent budget-line collection, offering a strong selection of 15 original hits, grouped by a specific theme and decade, on each disc. Chart Toppers: Dance Hits of the 50s combines rock & roll, doo wop, rockabilly, R&B, and pop hits -- an eclectic bunch, to say the least, but the variety helps capture the ... see all copies from $10.73! new only from $10.73!
7	A Child's Celebration of Rock 'n' Roll (1996) more music like this by Various Artists A Child's Celebration of Rock 'n' Roll is ostensibly for kids, but it is simply a collection of rockin' favorites from the '50s and '60s, done by the original artists. Not that there's anything inherently wrong with "Rock Around the Clock," "Yakety Yak," "Purple People Eater" and the others. Children's artists and labels like Joanie Bartels, ... see all copies from $8.04! new only from $12.75!

9	Disney: The Best of Silly Songs (2004) more music like this by Disney Despite its Disney imprint, Disney: The Best of Silly Songs isn't an especially distinctive set of singalong songs. The Disney characters do show up on some of the tracks: Goofy leads a singalong of "A Penny," Mickey Mouse and Goofy do a quick comedy routine on "Ta Ra Ra Boom De Ay!," Goofy returns on "Baby Bumble Bee," and Donald Duck, along with ... see all copies from $8.05! new only from $8.05!
10	The Purple People Eater [Bear Family] (1997) more music like this by Sheb Wooley Inspired by the success of David Seville's "Witch Doctor," Sheb Wooley decided to work up his own tape-manipulation novelty and created "The Purple People Eater," a huge number one hit in 1958. This CD is a companion to Bear Family's That's My Pa box set and two other single discs which, in combination, account for most of Wooley's recordings. The ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $16.48!
11	Accidentally on Purpose (1988) more music like this by Ian Gillan & Roger Glover Anyone that hadn't paid close attention to the post-Purple careers of Ian Gillan and Roger Glover may have been shocked by the sound of their 1988 reunion, Accidentally on Purpose. In fact, many Purple fans might be shocked as well, since Accidentally on Purpose is hardly reminiscent of any of the group's records, relying almost entirely on ... see all copies from $4.07! new only from $6.75!
12	Hits of the 50's, Vol. 5 [Legacy] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.79!
13 view cover	Number One Hits of 50's (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Number One Hits of the 50's contains ten songs that don't really have anything to do with each other, apart from the fact they were hits in the '50s. Still, that's more of a theme than some other budget-line collections, and when a record features such classics as "Running Bear," "It's Only Make Believe," "It's All in the Game," "The Tennessee ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.37!

15 view cover	#1 Hits of the Summer: Summer Hits (2006) more music like this by Various Artists This ten-song set doesn't particularly have a summery feel, although several of these songs may have been a hit in one summer or another. In all, it's a pretty mixed bag, with songs like Billy Preston's "Will It Go Round in Circles," Edwin Starr's "War" (hardly a cheer-up summer song by most standards), and the Troggs' "Wild Thing" tossed together ... see all copies from $2.59! new only from $5.48!

18 view cover	Great Men of Rock & Roll: The 50s (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Collectables' Great Men of Rock & Roll: The 50s collects 25 songs from the archives of labels that Universal Music owns, including such legendary imprints as Decca, Chess, Polygram, and Duke. Many of the artists included are legendary as well; names like Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Conway Twitty, and Buddy Holly certainly live up to the title of the ... see all copies from $9.08! new only from $9.08!

20 view cover	Rock Revival: Rockin' Around the Clock (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Direct Source's Rock Revival: Rockin' Around the Clock is a ten-song mishmash of the rock & roll sound of the '50s and early '60s. The packaging and sound are not great but the music is. Ranging from R&B to bubblegum to sunshine pop, the disc is made up of wonderful party music like Bill Haley & His Comets' "Rock Around the Clock," Wilbert ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!

25 view cover	Rock & Roll: 50th Anniversary Collection (2004) more music like this by Various Artists The Madacy label rarely put out excellent collections, often resorting to poor material and lightweight running times, but this two-disc set is a solid exception to the rule. Rock & Roll: 50th Anniversary Collection celebrates the golden anniversary of rock & roll (or, put better, the date of its first impact on the charts) and functions as a very ... see all copies from $4.35! new only from $4.75!
