1	Forrest Gump [Special Edition] (2001) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The surprise hit of the 1994 summer movie season traces the life of a half-wit through the major historical events of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, and this soundtrack album is a travelogue of the same period, from Elvis Presley's 1956 hit "Hound Dog" to Bob Seger's 1980 hit "Against the Wind." Like the movie, the soundtrack to Forrest Gump succeeds ... see all copies from $14.32! new only from $14.32!
2	Home for Christmas (2002) more music like this by Luther Vandross see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
3	The Greatest Songs of the Sixties (2006) more music like this by Barry Manilow Barry Manilow's Greatest Songs of the Fifties turned out to be a surprise smash upon its January 2006 release, debuting at number one on the Billboard charts, so a sequel was inevitable. Ever the show biz pro, Manilow knew to strike when the iron was hot, so a mere nine months later he delivered The Greatest Songs of the Sixties, which is not just ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $15.88!
4	The Very Best of Burt Bacharach [Rhino] (2001) more music like this by Burt Bacharach Like Rhino's exquisite three-disc The Look of Love, this set does not concentrate on proper Burt Bacharach recordings. Instead, it contains versions of Bacharach's greatest songs, usually the greatest versions -- or cuts that are damn close to the greatest versions. And, really, that's what makes it magical, since Bacharach wasn't the best ... see all copies from $9.59! new only from $9.59!
5	Forrest Gump [Original Soundtrack] (1994) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The surprise hit of the 1994 summer movie season traces the life of a half-wit through the major historical events of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, and this soundtrack album is a travelogue of the same period, from Elvis Presley's 1956 hit "Hound Dog" to Bob Seger's 1980 hit "Against the Wind." Like the movie, the soundtrack to Forrest Gump succeeds ... see all copies from $2.26! new only from $28.48!
6	Songs (1994) more music like this by Luther Vandross Luther Vandross could sing almost anything convincingly, which is one of the reasons Songs is so entertaining. A collection of personal favorites, Songs suffers from the common flaws of covers albums -- it isn't consistent, it sounds slightly canned, and seems like a way to buy time between "real" albums. Nevertheless, Vandross is a truly fine ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
7	American Idol Season 2: All-Time Classic American Love Songs (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Building on the hype and excitement from the debut season of the populist pop star search American Idol and its subsequent CDs, American Idol Season 2: All-Time Classic American Love Songs presents the first recordings from 11 of the 12 finalists -- unfortunately, firecracker Vanessa Olivares, the first finalist voted off, isn't featured here -- ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
8	My Best Friend's Wedding [Original Soundtrack] (1997) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to the Julia Roberts romantic comedy My Best Friend's Wedding is appropriately comprised of love songs, but since this is the soundtrack to a blockbuster, it relies on new covers from hip artists of familiar songs. My Best Friend's Wedding works better than it should, since most of the vocalists -- including Tony Bennett, Jann Arden ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.98!
9	Austin Powers (1997) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Mike Myers' ultra-mod '60s spy spoof Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery skillfully wrings humor from the differences and the similarities between the '60s and '90s, so it isn't surprising that the soundtrack balances '60s pop hits with '90s songs that wryly rework those swinging styles. Naturally, the original Burt Bacharach songs sound ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.26!
10	Ye-Me-Le (1969) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 Perhaps the Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 sound was at last beginning to show signs of wear, for not only didn't Ye-Me-Le produce any hits ("Wichita Lineman" reached a lowly number 95), but the album is also less enterprising and fresh-sounding than its predecessors. There is a surprising shortage of Brazilian material, which was always Mendes' most ... see all copies from $7.69! new only from $9.73!
11 view cover	Romantic Pianos Of (2004) more music like this by Ronnie Aldrich see all copies from $8.00! new only from $12.33!
12 view cover	Here & Now!/New Look! (2002) more music like this by George Shearing see all copies from $9.28! new only from $9.28!
13 view cover	Greatest Hits [A&M] (1974) more music like this by Burt Bacharach see all copies from $4.88!
14 view cover	The Look of Love: The Burt Bacharach Collection (1998) more music like this by Burt Bacharach While this three-CD, 75-song box set only has a half-dozen tracks actually credited to Burt Bacharach, it's certainly the best representation of his music likely to ever be assembled. Spanning the late '50s through a 1996 duet with Elvis Costello, this is the cream of his work as a composer (and, frequently, producer), properly concentrating ... see all copies from $27.00! new only from $43.65!
15 view cover	The Love Project (2004) more music like this by Various Artists In the early twentieth century, German composer Paul Hindemith coined the term gebrauchsmusik to describe music that serves a functional purpose beyond simple aesthetic enjoyment. That concept is what comes to mind while listening to Love Project, one of the most plainly utilitarian compilations currently on the market. Timed strategically for ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.29!
16 view cover	Tequila (1966) more music like this by Wes Montgomery On two of the songs included on Tequila, "Tequila" and "The Thumb," Wes Montgomery had an opportunity to jam a bit while backed just by bassist Ron Carter, drummer Grady Tate and the congas of Ray Barretto. The other six selections utilize a string section arranged by Claus Ogerman but, even with a throwaway version of "What the World Needs Now ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.50!
17 view cover	The Boy Next Door (2003) more music like this by Stacey Kent Wrapping her sweet voice around songs by male singers she admires, Stacey Kent delivers another pleasant and low-key album with The Boy Next Door. Kent's tribute choices range from traditional pop (Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett) to mainstream jazz instrumentalists (Dave Brubeck, Dizzy Gillespie) to the softer side of rock (James Taylor, Simon and -- ... see all copies from $5.90! new only from $12.99!
18 view cover	Power Jams (1999) more music like this by Various Artists It's difficult to figure out exactly why the CCM sampler Power Jams copies so closely the style of ESPN's Jock Jams series aside from the fact that it was a successful repackaging gimmick -- you aren't going to hear any of the songs here at sporting arenas, and the play-by-play announcer and cheerleader bits in between songs don't really have ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.35!
19 view cover	From This Moment (2000) more music like this by David Osborne see all copies from $4.00! new only from $10.66!
20 view cover	Love, Luther (2007) more music like this by Luther Vandross No matter your level of Luther Vandross fandom -- whether you're just getting started, have all the singer's original albums in some format, or think you have it all covered -- Love, Luther is quite generous. It's a four-disc box that comes in two forms: there's a longbox-style set that folds out, including a 58-page book tucked into a pocket ... see all copies from $42.60! new only from $42.60!
21 view cover	What Happened (1969) more music like this by The Artistics Six slammin' Artistics sides and four standards "artistically" sung make for some enjoyable listening. The Chi-Lites' "Price of Love" is sung in Marvin Smith's natural voice, distinguishing it from the original falsetto version. Gary Jackson's "Yesterday's Girl" remains one of their more enduring recordings. The scorching "What Happened to the ... see all copies from $8.35! new only from $8.93!
22 view cover	Verve Jazz Masters 14 (1964) more music like this by Wes Montgomery Shedding the temptation of bop purist revisionism that creeps into most assessments of Wes Montgomery, this Jazz Masters volume gives newcomers a good cross-section of his Verve recordings, the orchestral Wes along with the small-group Wes. The sequencing, though out of chronological order, is quite clever and musical. Someone who has never heard ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $9.00!
23 view cover	Love, Luther [Tri-Fold Book Version] (2007) more music like this by Luther Vandross No matter your level of Luther Vandross fandom -- whether you're just getting started, have all the singer's original albums in some format, or think you have it all covered -- Love, Luther is quite generous. It's a four-disc box that comes in two forms: there's a longbox-style set that folds out, including a 58-page book tucked into a pocket ... see all copies from $26.37! new only from $42.66!
24 view cover	It Must Be Him/Honey (2002) more music like this by Ray Conniff & the Singers A good matchup of two similar and consecutive LP releases is offered on this discount-priced two-fer. It Must Be Him and Honey were Ray Conniff's first two albums of 1968, and they were among his more successful, each enjoying a long chart run and earning gold record certification. Conniff had updated his arranging style by this point, adapting ... see all copies from $11.56! new only from $11.56!
25 view cover	Portrait (2005) more music like this by Rick Astley see all copies from $21.37! new only from $21.37!
