1	Pop Music: The Modern Era 1976-1999 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists To commemorate the end of the century, Sony Music assembled the gargantuan 26-disc box set, Sony Music 100 Years: Soundtrack for a Century. The title was imposing, as was the idea behind it -- to chronicle the life of the oldest record label in the music industry. To be clear, Sony Music has not existed for 100 years, but the heart of its catalog, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $18.56!
2	The Essential Herbie Hancock (2006) more music like this by Herbie Hancock Calling a two-disc retrospective of the varied and celebrated career of Herbie Hancock "essential" is a tall order to fill. Sony/BMG's Legacy does, as would be expected, an incomplete but decent job at offering a fine representative look at the artist, and at choosing best-known cuts to do so. This set is admirably cross-licensed by producer Bob ... see all copies from $22.14! new only from $22.14!
3	Future Shock (1983) more music like this by Herbie Hancock Herbie Hancock completely overhauled his sound and conquered MTV with his most radical step forward since the sextet days. He brought in Bill Laswell of Material as producer, along with Grand Mixer D.ST on turntables -- and the immediate result was "Rockit," which makes quite a post-industrial metallic racket. Frankly, the whole record is an ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.11!
4	Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Box Set (2002) more music like this by Original Soundtrack As with everything involved with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the game's soundtrack is epic in scope and incredibly detailed. Though countless games have offered soundtracks, GTA: Vice City offers a unique twist on the format: Its soundtrack has seven volumes, one apiece for Vice City's radio stations. Though games such as Jet Grind Radio and Jet ... see all copies from $37.81! new only from $37.81!
5	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Herbie Hancock In conjunction with the release of Ken Burns' ten-part, 19-hour epic PBS documentary Jazz, Columbia issued 22 single-disc compilations devoted to jazz's most significant artists, as well as a five-disc historical summary. Since the individual compilations attempt to present balanced overviews of each artist's career, tracks from multiple labels ... see all copies from $6.29! new only from $6.29!
6	Backspin (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Six Degrees Records is one of the reasons that world music is no longer considered a staid genre, the domain of ethnomusicologists combing the backwaters of the planet searching for lost, unclothed indigenous tribes bellowing field hollers to the trees. By fostering forward-reaching fusions of contemporary ethnic sounds and club-friendly ... see all copies from $15.26! new only from $15.26!
7	Only Dance: 1980-1984 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists It's Only Dance 1980-1984 follows the pattern of JCI's It's Only series, offering a seemingly random collection of 20 hits from a given genre or style for a period of five years.These songs weren't necessarily the biggest hits of these five years, although there are a number of classics and smashes here. It may be hard to deduce exactly why these ... see all copies from $2.52! new only from $2.52!
8	Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Vol. 5: Wildstyle (2002) more music like this by Original Soundtrack As with everything involved with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the game's soundtrack is epic in scope and incredibly detailed. Though countless games have offered soundtracks, GTA: Vice City offers a unique twist on the format: its soundtrack has seven volumes, one apiece for Vice City's radio stations. Though games such as Jet Grind Radio and Jet ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $17.79!
9	Disco Dance (2001) more music like this by Various Artists By the late '90s Sony had begun to introduce budget sets that raided their vaults and often arbitrarily grouped songs together for mass consumption. Hits of the 80s, Vol. 1 and Forever Soul were two of the worst offenders. By 2001, the label decided to make better use of the CD time constraints by extending the running time of each disc. Make no ... see all copies from $5.87! new only from $10.39!
10	80's Dance Party [Sony] (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Sony Music Special Products' 80's Dance Party may be a little uneven, but it contains enough fine singles -- Herbie Hancock's "Rockit," Mtume's "Juicy Fruit," Teena Marie's "Lovergirl," Earth Wind & Fire's "Let's Groove," the Weather Girls' "It's Raining Men," Shalamar's "Dancing in the Sheets," Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam's "Lost in Emotion" and Philip ... see all copies from $2.00! new only from $4.88!
11 view cover	Soul Hits of the 80's [Sony Music Box Set] (2002) more music like this by Various Artists A budget three-CD set, Soul Hits of the 80's collects some of that awkward decade's soul moments from the Columbia/Sony catalog. Note the author's use of "moments" and the title's use of "hits," because they are, in fact, talking about the same songs. Not everything here was a hit, with some of the songs just squeaking into the Billboard Top 100; ... see all copies from $10.52! new only from $10.52!

16 view cover	Funkology (2001) more music like this by Various Artists After rappers began sampling old-school funk tracks from the 1970s, plenty of record companies started knocking out funk compilations to cash in on the newfound popularity of these sampled gems. Funkology is an above-average (and quite generous) version of this kind of collection. Though it runs in to some of the licensing and programming problems ... see all copies from $69.98!
17 view cover	Denver Nuggets: Gold Rush (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $14.90!
18	Real Disco (2001) more music like this by Various Artists An intriguing double-disc collection packaged by Sony Australia, Real Disco certainly doesn't include much in the way of commercial hits -- only two or three come close -- but it does balance middling obscurities with a few nice tracks stretching the form. The compilers looked back to 1974's "Lady Marmalade" (Labelle) and ahead to the mid-'80s ( ... see all copies from $30.60!

21 view cover	The Greatest Hits of the '80s, Vol. 10 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $71.36! new only from $71.36!
22 view cover	The Ultimate Grammy Box: From the Recording Academy's Collection (1999) more music like this by Various Artists It's easy to bash the Grammys if you're a fan of pop music -- especially if you're a record geek. It's easy to spot the omissions, whether it's the Rolling Stones or Velvet Underground, and it's easy to laugh about Jethro Tull winning the first Heavy Metal Grammy in 1988, beating out the quintessential metal band of the '80s, Metallica. These are ... see all copies from $37.50! new only from $37.50!

24 view cover	Now That's What I Call the 80s [1 CD] (2008) more music like this by Various Artists The Now That's What I Call Music! series turns its attention to pop music of the past with this compilation of '80s hits. Now That's What I Call the 80s plays just like you'd expect a Now collection of '80s songs to, serving up the decade's biggest, most obvious hits from its definitive stars and styles. That's far from a bad thing, though -- ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $16.08!
25 view cover	The Then and Now: The Definitive Herbie Hancock (2008) more music like this by Herbie Hancock The idea of collecting tracks off several of jazz legend Herbie Hancock's albums from the influential '60s Blue Note years through to his Grammy-winning 2007 album River is a nice idea that doesn't quite come together on Verve's Then and Now: The Definitive Herbie Hancock. Obviously designed to showcase the whole of Hancock's career post his 2007 ... see all copies from $10.96! new only from $10.96!
