1	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Bo Diddley (2000) more music like this by Bo Diddley This fine but brief summation of Bo Diddley's career includes all the relevant hits ("Bo Diddley," "I'm a Man") as well as a few not-so-relevant ones ("Dearest Darling," "Say Man"). Its brevity doesn't give much opportunity to cover all of Diddley's achievements -- none of the Millennium collections really do -- but for beginners it's a good place ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $5.00!
2	Roadrunner! The Best of the Gants (2000) more music like this by The Gants Don't let their Beatle haircuts or R&B cover song list fool you; underneath it all, the Gants were pure Southern-bred frat boys. Their hipness in knowing a good Bo Diddley song when they heard it brought them some measure of success and their regional squareness separated them from the rest of the pack, which is half the point of this 20-track ... see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
3	The Complete Animals (1990) more music like this by The Animals The title is a bit of a misnomer; this double CD does include the complete sessions that the Animals recorded with producer Mickie Most in 1964 and 1965. The 40 songs capture the band at their peak, including most of their best and biggest hits: "House of the Rising Sun," "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," "Bring It on Home to Me," "We Gotta Get Out ... see all copies from $7.63! new only from $7.63!
4	Bo Knows Bo (1995) more music like this by Bo Diddley MCA Special Products' Bo Knows Bo is an odd hodgepodge of highlights from Bo Diddley's classic Chess and Checker recordings. There are a number of hits and cult favorites here -- "Hey! Bo Diddley," "Diddley Daddy," "Diddy Wah Diddy," "Crackin' Up," "Road Runner," "Who Do You Love," "You Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover" -- but such obvious choices ... see all copies from $3.21! new only from $4.83!
5	Hey (2005) more music like this by Bo Diddley A relatively slick live set from the maverick Bo Diddley, Hey doesn't add anything significant to his legacy, but it certainly reaffirms it with sturdy renditions of "Roadrunner" and "Mona" and an over-ten-minute rendition of "I'm a Man." The introductory track opens with that patented shave-and-a-haircut rhythm that is known as "the Bo Diddley," ... see all copies from $2.35! new only from $2.35!
6	His Greatest Sides, Vol. 1 (1983) more music like this by Bo Diddley There never was a Volume Two, partly owing to the change in ownership of the Chess Records catalog in the mid-'80s. At the time, however, this single LP offered the best sound on the classic Bo Diddley songs, even if it didn't match Got My Own Bag Of Tricks in the number of tracks. It wasn't bad, but the Chess Box has made it irrelevant. Bruce ... see all copies from $1.99!
7	Best of Bo Diddley [JCI] (1990) more music like this by Bo Diddley see all copies from $5.20! new only from $5.20!
8	Rock 'N' Roll Legends (2008) more music like this by Bo Diddley With his patented "shave & a haircut-two bits" rhythm, which he actually didn't invent but did forever bestow with his name, Bo Diddley created as insular a body of work in the late 1950s and early '60s as Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, or any of the other great nascent rockers of the era. This set is a nice introduction to it all, and it includes ... see all copies from $9.87! new only from $9.87!
9	Rock & Roll Originators (1990) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.78!
