1	'70s: Gold (2006) more music like this by Various Artists More than anything, the '70s opened up worlds of experimentation and exploration in music without the constraints of modern music rules. There was literally something that appealed to the ears of everyone, regardless of what style you were into, and it became the definitive soundtrack of a lifetime. This two-disc set covers disco, funk, new wave, ... see all copies from $19.52! new only from $19.52!
2	Organ Fan (1992) more music like this by Silverfish This is where L7 jugular ripping meets the subterranean scuzz rock of Throbbing Gristle and Motörhead with exceptionally disastrous results. Made up of ex-members of Rover Girls and In-Stinks and future Ruby frontwoman Lesley Rankine, you would be forgiven for thinking that this was another laborious exercise constructed by industrialized noise ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
3	Dream a Little Dream (1990) more music like this by Original Soundtrack see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.34!
4	Yeah! (2006) more music like this by Def Leppard Def Leppard always had a streak of glam running beneath their heavy rock -- listen to "Armageddon It" or "Photograph" for proof -- so it's no surprise that when the quintet decided to record a covers album in 2006, they devoted it to the '70s glam and hard rock that inspired them to pick up their guitars and play. What does come as a surprise ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $4.00!
5	The Devil's Rejects [Clean] (2005) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The regular Devil's Rejects soundtrack removes the dialogue samples of the DualDisc version, and obviously it doesn't have the bonus DVD. But it's still a solid set of music that captures the film's happily crass, drive-in proud vibe. Its artwork depicts the convicts, crazies, and shotguns that populate Rob Zombie's sequel to his 2003 cinematic ... see all copies from $10.96! new only from $10.96!
6	Super Hits of the '70s: Have a Nice Day, Vol. 12 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists For their 12th go at '70s hits and kitsch, Rhino delivers a beefy selection of indelible radio fare to prove just how strange and wide-open that decade's music was. From the MOR pop end of things, smashes like Terry Jacks' "Seasons in the Sun" and Blue Swede's "Hooked on a Feeling" qualify as prime examples of the one-hit wonder retirement plan, ... see all copies from $10.24! new only from $10.24!
7	Rock Classics [Sony Special Products] (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Not every song on Sony Music Special Products' Rock Classics qualifies as a "rock classic," but most of the songs fit squarely into the "classic rock" tradition -- really, that's the only thing tying Blood Sweat & Tears ("And When I Die"), the Edgar Winter Group ("Free Ride"), the Byrds ("Turn! Turn! Turn!"), Carlos Santana ("Them Changes"), Mott ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
8	Born to Be Wild, Vol. 1 [Madacy] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.40! new only from $2.40!
9	Rock On UK (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Sony Music Special Products' Rock On UK is a bizarre collection of cuts from British rockers. These aren't necessarily hits -- almost nobody heard Mick Taylor's "Leather Jacket," and Dave Edmunds' slick, Jeff Lynne-produced "Slipping Away" was a misstep for both artists. Plus, they span three decades, making it a terribly uneven listen. That said, ... see all copies from $1.99!
10	Pop Classics of the '70s (1989) more music like this by Various Artists Pop Classics of the '70s collects pop and rock hits like Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are," David Essex's "Rock On," Lynn Anderson's "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden," and James Taylor's "Handy Man." Songs by Toto, Loggins & Messina, Paul Revere & the Raiders, and Earth, Wind & Fire round out this album of vintage singles. Heather Phares, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.00!
11 view cover	Dick [Virgin] (1999) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Accompanying the nostalgic 70s comedy Dick (about two bumbling teenage girls who somehow uncover the Watergate Scandal), this soundtrack is a hodge-podge of 70s pop, rock and soul hits with an updated version of Abba's "Dancing Queen" covered by alternative hitmakers Sixpence None the Richer thrown in for good measure. Like most current songtracks ... see all copies from $5.25! new only from $16.19!
12 view cover	Greatest Hits of the 70's, Vol.12 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $5.87! new only from $5.87!
13 view cover	Entertainment Weekly: The Greatest Hits 1989 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Although it doesn't hang together well musically, Entertainment Weekly: Greatest Hits 1989 is an entertaining, wide-ranging sampler of the state of Top 40 music at the dawn of the '90s, featuring 12 tracks in wildly disparate styles that all became big hits that year. There's pop-rap (Young MC's "Bust a Move," Tone Loc's "Funky Cold Medina"), rock ... see all copies from $2.35! new only from $2.35!
14 view cover	VH1 8-Track Flashback: The One-Hit Wonders (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Continuing their tradition of recycling songs they have already licensed for multi-volume series into new compilations, Rhino assembled VH1 8-track Flashback: One-Hit Wonders as a soundtrack to the VH1 show of the same name. Covering everything from soft-rock to disco, there are a number of guilty pleasures and timeless kitsch pieces on this disc ... see all copies from $2.95!
15 view cover	Dock Rock Presents: Classic Rock Weekend (2006) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $22.57! new only from $22.57!
16 view cover	All #1 80's (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Excepting earlier decade hits like Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" and Boston's "Amanda," #1 80's concentrates on chart toppers from later in the decade. This batch of singles presents a very negligible version of the decade, a version where Starship ("Sara" and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," two of the most enervating songs ... see all copies from $9.43! new only from $9.43!
17 view cover	Rock On [Compilation] (2004) more music like this by David Essex Not to be confused with David Essex's fine Rock On album from 1973, Collectables' Rock On is a budget-priced, hastily assembled ten-song collection that draws from Essex's first three albums. From Rock On are the title track -- Essex's biggest hit and a wonderful blend of Jeff Wayne's inventive production and arrangement and Essex's pure pop ... see all copies from $5.48! new only from $5.48!
18 view cover	Greatest Hits of the 70's [Sony] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists No, this album does not contain the "greatest hits of the '70s." To be accurate, the album's title would have to be something like "40 Pop/Rock Songs of the '70s from the Sony Music Vaults." That wouldn't be as catchy, of course, but it would describe a collection of tracks, most of which were released originally on Columbia or Epic Records, all ... see all copies from $4.73!
19 view cover	Pop in the 70's, Vol. 1 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Pop in the 70's: Volume 1 has an eclectic mix of Top Ten hits that range from the funky (Sly and the Family Stone) to pop-rock (Hall & Oates, David Essex, the Raspberries) to dance (the Emotions). Santana's "Black Magic Woman," Loggins & Messina's "Your Mama Don't Dance" and Redbone's "Come and Get Your Love" are included here as well. Like the ... see all copies from $2.49!
20 view cover	British Invasion, Vol. 3 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $9.99!
21 view cover	Today's Movie Hits, Vol. 2 [1994] more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99!
22 view cover	Mono Stereo (1990) more music like this by Tater Totz Some might think one crazed Beatles demi-parody album from Redd Kross' Steve and Jeff McDonald would be enough, but happily the brothers and their crew of like-minded friends had other ideas. Thus this merry little blast of weirdness from 1989, featuring a hilarious Help!-inspired cover (only with four Yoko Onos striking the familiar poses) and ... see all copies from $10.28!
23 view cover	Today's Movie Hits [1994] (1994) more music like this by The Starlite Orchestra & Strings see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
24 view cover	#1 Hits of the 80's [2004 Madacy] (2004) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $16.38! new only from $16.38!
25 view cover	Number Ones: The Super 70's (1998) more music like this by Various Artists In 1998 the Simitar label, a division of Warner Special Products, released several budget-priced discs featuring number one hits from the '60s, '70s and '80s, loosely based around such themes as Rock It Up, Lovin' Feelings and Party On. Each disc presents the original version of these popular singles on a 16-track CD. Number Ones: The Super 70's ... see all copies from $10.88! new only from $10.88!
