1	The Funk Box (2000) more music like this by Various Artists At four discs and 55 tracks, Hip-O's Funk Box seems to want to be the last word on funk, and while it's a pretty good set, it ends up more representative than definitive of its chosen genre. Virtually all of funk's most important artists are featured, but not always by their most significant singles -- sometimes the collection gets it right, and ... see all copies from $29.94! new only from $45.64!
2	The Best of Roy Ayers: Love Fantasy (1997) more music like this by Roy Ayers This greatest-hits title was the first of its kind upon its release in 1979. During that time, Roy Ayers was one of the leading acts on Polydor Records and solidified his R&B/disco success with "Running Away," included here. The dichotomy between Ayers as a jazz act and an R&B/jazz quiet storm presence is all but kicked off by this album. The ... see all copies from $7.04! new only from $9.87!

4	Funk Gold (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Hip-O's Funk Gold, a two-disc set, is somewhere between an addendum and an alternate version of The Funk Box, released by the same label nearly five years prior. Between the two releases, there are several overlapping selections (Charles Wright's "Express Yourself," Billy Preston's "Outa-Space," the Brothers Johnson's "Get the Funk Out Ma Face"), ... see all copies from $8.75! new only from $8.75!

6	Old School Jams, Vol. 5 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Here's another strong addition to SPG's Old School Jams series. Twenty-six tracks (spread across a pair of discs), almost all of which were staples on urban radio throughout the late '70s and early '80s. Without exception, each pick has aged well, often thanks in part to rap producers who have used them for sample fodder. Disco (The Emotions' ... see all copies from $10.30! new only from $10.30!
7	Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas [Box Set] (2004) more music like this by Original Game Soundtrack Part of the pleasure of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto games is that they create their own world filled with clever, imaginative details, and one of the most obvious and satisfying of those details is the radio stations they create for their GTA games. It's not just that there's a variety of stations covering different genres, it's that the song ... see all copies from $43.70! new only from $43.70!
8	The Summer of Sam (1999) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Spike Lee has never shied away from controversy, but Summer of Sam seems like one picture that didn't warrant the undue attention it received. Labeled as exploitation before it even hit the theaters, the film captured the frenetic, paranoia that infused New York during 1977, when the serial killer David Berkowitz was loose. Summer of Sam was about ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $8.00!
9	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Roy Ayers (2000) more music like this by Roy Ayers 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Roy Ayers collects ten of the soul-jazz pioneer's definitive tracks, including "Don't Stop the Feeling," "Searchin'," "Everybody Loves the Sunshine," and "Running Away." Ayers' lush arrangements and funky rhythms still sound fresh today, particularly on "Coffy Is the Color" and "Love ... see all copies from $6.85! new only from $6.85!

11 view cover	Destination Motherland: The Roy Ayers Anthology (2003) more music like this by Roy Ayers Destination Motherland is a two-CD, 33-track compilation of Roy Ayers' classics from the Polydor years -- 1971-1981. Issued in the U.K., it replaces, in a sense, the retrospective Evolution: The Polydor Anthology issued in 1995 with a slightly bigger, more club-intense selection, as well as improved sound. Ayers was a politician of hip when it ... see all copies from $6.93! new only from $10.26!
12 view cover	Evolution: The Polydor Anthology (1995) more music like this by Roy Ayers Evolution: The Polydor Anthology charts Roy Ayers' 12 years and 20 LPs with Polydor, a rich time where his gliding, loose-groove jazz-funk gained many fans -- though perhaps fewer than it did 20 years later in the midst of the rare groove/acid jazz revival. During the 1970s, Ayers and his band, Ubiquity, progressed from political- and social ... see all copies from $16.99! new only from $26.16!

15 view cover	Old School, Vol. 8 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists The eighth volume of Thump's excellent, long-running Old School series offers another mixed bag of soul, funk, disco, electro, and pop-oriented '80s singles. As usual, Thump combines well-known hits that you still hear on the radio with less popular -- but no less significant -- tracks that either slipped through the cracks or continue to ... see all copies from $14.48! new only from $14.48!

17 view cover	Double Trouble (1992) more music like this by Roy Ayers Originally released in the United States in 1992 and reissued by Australia's AIM label in 2005, Double Trouble finds Roy Ayers doing some collaborating with the late funk/soul icon Rick James (who died in 2004 at the age of 56). By 1992, James was long past his prime, both commercially and creatively -- and sadly, he was receiving more attention ... see all copies from $9.45! new only from $9.45!

20 view cover	Back to Mine (1999) more music like this by Danny Tenaglia After a spate of increasingly generic mix albums released during the late '90s, the DMC label spun the idea in an interesting new direction. The world's leading DJs, beginning with Danny Tenaglia, compiled collections of their favorite downtempo tracks suitable for chill-out rooms, late-night apartment parties, and all those long, tedious drives ... see all copies from $17.99! new only from $19.60!
21 view cover	Non-Stop Funk, Vol. 2 (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Like its predecessor, Non Stop Funk, Vol. 2 checks in with only ten tracks, roughly half of which aren't incredibly well-known examples of funk. Still, this one does have "Funky President" by James Brown, "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" by the Gap Band, and "Machine Gun" by the Commodores. John Bush, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.00!
22 view cover	Shining Symbol: The Ultimate Collection (2002) more music like this by Roy Ayers By the time this was released in 2002, many Roy Ayers fans had probably given up on having a definitive collection. Shining Symbol: The Ultimate Collection, like many compilations before it, seems to be an unbalanced and boring set of some pretty timeless and captivating music. The good part is that most of the essentials are indeed here. "Red ... see all copies from $6.21!
23 view cover	Let's Start the Dance, Vol. 2 (1989) more music like this by Various Artists The second volume of Polygram's Let's Start the Dance is another combination of obscure and well-known dance-oriented tracks from the label's back catalog, including Roy Ayers Ubiquity's "Running Away," the Gap Band's "Early in the Morning," the Village People's "Fire Island," the Love Unlimited Orchestra's "My Sweet Summer Suite," Isaac Hayes' ... see all copies from $28.48!
24 view cover	Magnum Opus (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Magnum Opus: 20 Dance Masterpieces is a double-disc set that includes some of the best dance singles of the '70s and '80s, spanning disco, funk, soul, and house. There were so many great singles that came from this era that it would be impossible to come up with something definitive in the space of two discs. The greatest strength of this ... see all copies from $18.01! new only from $18.01!
