1	The Wedding Singer [Original Soundtrack] (1998) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The very fact that the good-natured romantic comedy The Wedding Singer is set in 1985 means that the accompanying soundtrack is a perfect vehicle for a host of early-'80s new wave classics. Although the album, like the movie, gets the time period slightly wrong -- new wave was finished by 1985, but the entire project barrels ahead as if it were ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $10.71!
2	Millennium Party: Funk (1998) more music like this by Various Artists After offering comprehensive overviews of funk with the multi-volume series In Yo' Face and Phat Trax, Rhino wisely distilled those two sets into one indispensable single disc, Millennium Party: Funk. Boasting 20 songs, all of which are indisputable classics, Millennium Party is the best single-disc sampler of '70s and early-'80s funk available. ... see all copies from $16.52! new only from $16.52!
3	Best of 80s Pop: Party Songs (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.72! new only from $2.72!
4	The Best of Sugarhill Gang [Rhino] (1996) more music like this by The Sugarhill Gang Sugarhill Gang's biggest hits are collected on this single-disc compilation. In addition to "Rapper's Delight" -- the first rap single to reach the pop Top Ten -- the group's seven other R&B hits are included on the disc, plus three other singles that never made the charts. All of the songs are presented in their original 12" versions. Not all of ... see all copies from $10.24! new only from $10.24!
5	Stage (2004) more music like this by Keller Williams see all copies from $16.10! new only from $16.10!
6	The Hip Hop Box (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Hip-O's Hip Hop Box is patterned much like the same label's Funk Box, consisting of four discs and a booklet loaded with information. And much like The Funk Box, this set functions as a starter kit with some considerable blind spots. Hip-hop fanatics will no doubt put the track selections under deep scrutiny, but this is certainly intended to be ... see all copies from $46.09! new only from $46.09!
7	VH1: I Love the '70s (2004) more music like this by Various Artists It was inevitable that VH1 would eventually release compilations spun off from some of their most popular nostalgia programs. Just before the channel rolled out the I Love the '90s series, in apparent response to the success of I Love the '70s and I Love the '80s, they teamed with Rhino to release a disc for each decade. Of course, it would be ... see all copies from $10.24! new only from $10.24!
8	Hits (2003) more music like this by The Sugarhill Gang The Sugarhill Gang only released a couple of hit records in their heyday, and from those, only a couple of hit songs, not the least of which is the now ubiquitous "Rapper's Delight," which is of course included here on Flashback's ten-song best-of compilation. Because of the relatively small repertoire, one would think that a collection such as ... see all copies from $4.69! new only from $4.69!
9	Tom Joyner Presents: The Old School Mix Returns (2002) more music like this by Various Artists There's a few songs that aren't entirely familiar here, which is to the credit of the compilers, since without those, Tom Joyner Presents: The Old School Mix Returns would be nothing more than a stroll down an oldies radio station, albeit one with good taste. Of course, everybody should be aware that the word "mix" is not a synonym for ... see all copies from $10.24! new only from $10.24!
10	Showdown: Sugarhill Gang Vs. Grandmaster Flash (1999) more music like this by Sugarhill Gang & Grandmaster Flash & Furious Five On paper, The Showdown: The Sugarhill Gang vs. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five seems like a good idea. Take two of the greatest old-school hip-hop groups, pair off six of their best tracks each, offer commentary and insight from Chuck D and Ice-T, and then see who wins. It's a cute, clever idea, but halfway through the album, it becomes ... see all copies from $8.02! new only from $8.02!
11 view cover	Hip Hop: Gold (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Hip-O's Hip Hop: Gold, which looks a lot like a halved version of the same label's four-disc Hip Hop Box, is one of those garden-variety compilations that matches each good pick with a couple questionable picks that look a lot like lazy blunders. On this double-disc set, you get a few tracks that have appeared on well over 100 titles (such as ... see all copies from $4.39! new only from $7.71!
12 view cover	Rapper's Delight & Other Old School Favorites (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.91!
13 view cover	Kangaroo Jack (2003) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to the wacky adventures in the Outback kids' film Kangaroo Jack mixes dance-pop, big-beat and hip-hop into an energetic mix that's arguably more fun than the movie that inspired it. DJ Otzi's "Hey Baby" (a dancey, Latin-tinged cover of the Bruce Channel song from the '60s), Wiseguys' "Start the Commotion," the Sugarhill Gang's ... see all copies from $2.96! new only from $10.15!
14 view cover	The Best of Sugar Hill Records (1998) more music like this by Various Artists If Rhino's massive five-disc summation of the crucial old-school label Sugar Hill makes you cringe, this single-disc set is a much better distillation of the label (and the period) than much else out there. It covers the three tracks that are hands-down classics -- "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang plus "The Message" and "White Lines" by ... see all copies from $3.32! new only from $3.32!
15 view cover	Best of Old School Players (2000) more music like this by Old School Players see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
16 view cover	Drew's Famous More Party Music (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Drew's Famous More Party Music is a well-intentioned collection of perennial party favorites, remade by an in-house studio group called the Hit Crew. While they lack the intangible spark of the originals,"Flashdance What a Feeling," "Twist and Shout," "I Got You (I Feel Good)," and especially "Rapper's Delight" are performed with gusto and an eye ... see all copies from $3.46!

19 view cover	Hip Hop Greats: Classic Raps (1990) more music like this by Various Artists Although it's far from perfect, the ten-track Hip Hop Greats: Classic Raps offers a good overview of the first national rap hits. Since it contains the majority of hip-hop's early classics -- Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight," and UTFO's "Roxanne, Roxanne," Kurtis Blow's "The Breaks," Run-D.M.C.'s "It's Like That," and both "White Lines (Don't ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.23!
20 view cover	*Ultimate HipHop: 30th Anniversary Collection** (2004) more music like this by Various Artists First off, Madacy's Ultimate HipHop: 30th Anniversary Collection isn't really very ultimate. No hip-hop collection with tracks by Snow ("Informer") or Rick James ("Loosey's Rap") could be considered such. The rest of the disc comes pretty close to being awesome, though, with old-school jams like Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force's "Planet Rock" ... see all copies* from $2.37! new only from $13.27!
21 view cover	The Definitive Groove Collection: Sugar Hill Records (2006) more music like this by Various Artists The series of Definitive Groove Collection compilations issued by Rhino in 2006 were all well-selected, thorough overviews of their subjects, and the Sugar Hill Records one is no exception. Compiling 24 of the old-school rap label's best cuts and sequencing them chronologically, the compilation is practically definitive: all of the key songs are ... see all copies from $9.85! new only from $17.56!
22 view cover	The Sugar Hill Records Story [Box Set] (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Sugar Hill Records was the first rap and hip-hop label, giving many listeners their first exposure to the urban rhyming and scratching that transformed pop music during the '80s. Like most indie labels, they had troubles with finances and distribution; eventually, that situation resulted in their records remaining out of print during the rise of ... see all copies from $49.34! new only from $49.34!
23 view cover	Bust a Move: The Best of Old School (2002) more music like this by Various Artists If you wanted to be a successful heavy metal or hard rock band in the 1980s, you had to have a power ballad in your repertoire. This disc collects 12 of them. Some of the highlights include "Midnight Blue" by Lou Gramm, "When Children Cry" by White Lion, and "Headed for a Heartbreak" by Winger. A true best-of would have to include "Every Rose Has ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
