1	Golden Era of Rock 'n' Roll: 1954-1963 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists You'd need a wall full of early rock & roll records to get a truly definitive summary of the best sounds from the music's first decade. That qualification noted, this is about as good a sampling of the most important early rock & roll hits and performers as could be stuffed into a three-CD, 62-song set, and deserves the highest rating even if it ... see all copies from $31.68! new only from $31.68!
2	American Graffiti Highlights: 25th Anniversary Edition (1998) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Highlights In 1998, the original two-album set gets reduced to a single compact-disc selection to coincide with the 25th anniversary re-release of the original motion picture American Graffiti -- hence this best-of compilation, a curious release in and of itself. Still utilizing voice-overs from the late disc jockey Wolfman Jack, who had a memorable cameo ... see all copies from $10.96! new only from $10.96!
3	Pussy Cats (1974) more music like this by Nilsson The relationship between Harry Nilsson and John Lennon is legendary. They were notorious booze hounds and carousers, getting kicked out of clubs for misbehavior and generally terrorizing L.A. during Lennon's "lost weekend" of 1974. They wanted to make an album together -- hell, anyone working at such a peak would -- and the result was Pussy Cats, ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $35.74!
4	Happy Days Jukebox (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Since the television series Happy Days was based, more or less, on the movie American Graffiti, which spawned an immensely successful soundtrack album made up of post-Elvis, pre-Beatles golden oldies, it only seems appropriate that Happy Days should have a similar collection. In fact, since it was a series, there should be a series of them. And ... see all copies from $2.39! new only from $9.25!
5	Pussy Cats (2006) more music like this by The Walkmen Remaking an entire album -- especially one as rooted in mood and the performers involved as Harry Nilsson's Pussy Cats -- seems about as wise an idea as Gus Van Sant's shot-by-shot remake of Psycho. Fortunately, the Walkmen's song-by-song redo of Pussy Cats doesn't come off as a half-baked technical exercise. The band remains loyal to the rambling ... see all copies from $12.61! new only from $12.61!
6	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Bill Haley & His Comets (1999) more music like this by Bill Haley & His Comets Like any record company worth their salt, MCA knows a good gimmick when they see it, and when the millennium came around...well, the 20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection wasn't too far behind. Supposedly, the millennium is a momentous occasion, but it's hard to feel that way when it's used as another excuse to turn out a budget-line ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $6.85!
7	Jet Propelled: The 1978 Comeback [2 Disc] (2002) more music like this by Carl Perkins This comeback recording by Carl Perkins in 1978 was a huge success in England and in the rest of Europe, where it constituted a rejuvenation of his touring as well as appearances on television and radio (the second disc here is a BBC interview and performance session). In the United States, Ol' Blue Suede's Back, coming as it did nary a year after ... see all copies from $17.41! new only from $17.41!
8	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!
9	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!
10	Hit Parade 1955 (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $3.17! new only from $3.17!
11 view cover	New Millennium 50's Party (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Rhino's New Millennium '50s Party uses 20-20 hindsight to collect some of the decade's most memorable singles, including Little Richard's "Lucille," the Coasters' "Yakety Yak," Carl Perkins' "Blue Suede Shoes," the Everly Brothers' "Wake Up Little Susie," and Buddy Holly & The Crickets' "That'll Be the Day." Santo & Johnny's "Sleep Walk," Bobby ... see all copies from $3.79! new only from $15.70!
12 view cover	The Very Best of Sandy Nelson [EMI] (2004) more music like this by Sandy Nelson see all copies from $10.00!
13 view cover	Rock Around the Clock [Expanded] (2004) more music like this by Bill Haley If this reissue doesn't confirm precisely how cool Bill Haley was -- yes, Bill Haley, checkered jacket, spit curl, and all -- then nothing will. The first great LP of the rock & roll era, Rock Around the Clock never got the recognition it deserved from historians, mostly owing to the neglect that attached itself to Bill Haley in the decades after ... see all copies from $8.34! new only from $8.34!
14 view cover	Music for Little People: 15th Anniversary Collection (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Premiere children's music label Music for Little People has compiled a 15 song best-of in honor of their 15 years as a label. This isn't your parent's version of children's music: Buckwheat Zydeco tackles "Iko Iko," Michelle Shocked contributes the fanciful "Flying Lesson," and Los Lobos' version of the Farfisa work-out "Wooly Bully" from their ... see all copies from $1.99!
15 view cover	The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle [Remastered] (1993) more music like this by The Sex Pistols A wildly inconsistent but often entertaining collection, the soundtrack to the Sex Pistols' pseudo-documentary contains great music, whacked-out novelties, and flat-out tripe in approximately equal proportions. Some formative recordings are included -- mostly covers like "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone," plus a demo of "Anarchy in the U.K." that ... see all copies from $8.36! new only from $8.36!
16 view cover	Ol' Blue Suede's Back (1978) more music like this by Carl Perkins Carl Perkins' 1978 album Ol' Blue Suede's Back was originally planned to be a concept album, narrated track by track by Perkins himself. The way it was originally issued, it felt just like Perkins playing the great rock hits of yesteryear. In the context of the CD that now includes the previously unreleased narration, it is a revelation and a ... see all copies from $8.74! new only from $11.15!
17 view cover	Millennium Gold, Vol. 2: WODS (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!
18 view cover	Oldies But Goodies, Vol. 14 (1976) more music like this by Various Artists Oldies But Goodies, Vol. 14 collects 17 memorable pop and rock hits from the '50s, '60s, and '70s, including Bill Haley & His Comets' "Rock Around the Clock," Martha & the Vandellas' "Dancing in the Street," the McCoys' "Hang On Sloopy," Wilson Pickett's "Funky Broadway," the Chiffons' "He's So Fine," Lou Christie's "Lightnin' Strikes," the ... see all copies from $10.38! new only from $10.38!
19 view cover	Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 (1998) more music like this by Green Bay Packers see all copies from $7.68!
20 view cover	The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle (1979) more music like this by The Sex Pistols A wildly inconsistent but often entertaining collection, the soundtrack to the Sex Pistols' pseudo-documentary contains great music, whacked-out novelties, and flat-out tripe in approximately equal proportions. Some formative recordings are included -- mostly covers like "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone," plus a demo of "Anarchy in the U.K." that ... see all copies from $8.80! new only from $8.85!
21 view cover	See You Later Alligator (2007) more music like this by Bill Haley & His Comets See You Later Alligator highlights the majority of hits recorded in the '50s by Bill Haley & His Comets, including "Shake, Rattle and Roll," "(We're Gonna) Rock Around the Clock," "See You Later Alligator," and "Rock-A-Beatin' Boogie." As a first purchase, casual fans should stick with the expanded 15-track edition of Rock Around the Clock on ... see all copies from $8.94! new only from $8.94!
22 view cover	Mister Rock 'N' Roll (1973) more music like this by Bill Haley The 12 songs on this album are of surprising interest, though you'd have to look hard to see why amid the plethora of latter-day Bill Haley material on the market. Later in his career, Haley cut any number of live and studio recordings, re-creating his '50s hits which have been repackaged countless times, but Mister Rock 'N' Roll is made up of a ... see all copies from $5.85! new only from $5.85!

24 view cover	Casey Kasem: America's Top 10 Through Years - The 50's (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The '50s edition of Casey Kasem's America's Top 10 is typical for the series. It moves confidently through twenty hits of the era, skimming the play lists of oldies stations everywhere for a rousing collection with none of the filler so often found in this sort of release. Beginning with the freewheeling blurt of Bobby Darin's "Splish Splash," ... see all copies from $6.96! new only from $9.75!
25 view cover	R-O-C-K (1976) more music like this by Bill Haley & His Comets see all copies from $6.69! new only from $6.69!
