Bob Seger Greatest Hits CD (1994)

Greatest Hits 1956 CD music

$9.59

Detroit has produced more than its share of great music: from jazz stars like Hank, Thad & Elvin Jones; to the Motown stable of vocal artists, and legendary rhythm players Benny Benjamin and James Jamerson. Not to mention a whole lot of hard funk and primal metal, everyone from Funkadelic and Ted Nugent, to Iggy & The Stooges and the MC5--hard driving, rugged rock and roll. Put it all together with a touch of pop, and a lot of soul, and you've got Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band. It's easy to divine Seger's influence on the music of Bruce Springsteen, and draw parallels with the vocal style of Van Morrison. The epic themes of Seger's ...

Golden Era Of Rock 'N' Roll 1954-1963 CDs (2004)

Greatest Hits 1956 album

$28.69

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 can't tell the whole story. Other than Elvis Presley (perhaps not present due to licensing obstacles), it has definitive hits by all the major early rock & roll performers, including Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Bo Diddley, Gene Vincent, Carl Perkins, Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers, the Everly Brothers, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Ricky Nelson, Eddie Cochran, the Coasters, the Drifters, Jackie Wilson, Ray Charles, the Platters, Brenda Lee, and Roy Orbison. There's still room for a wealth of tracks by doo wop groups who had only one or two hits, from the Crows' "Gee" to the Marcels' "Blue Moon"; instrumental rock from Duane Eddy and the Ventures; rockabilly by Dale Hawkins and Johnny Burnette's Rock & Roll Trio (whose "The Train Kept A-Rollin'" is the only song on the whole set that wasn't a big hit); and New Orleans R&B-rock from Shirley & Lee and ...

John Denver Definitive All-Time Greatest Hits CDs (2004) Bonus CD

Greatest Hits 1956 CD music

$9.59

The title of this collection by the Jesus of 1970s soft pop makes no bones about its intentions. Fortunately, it delivers what it promises in spades. DEFINITIVE ALL-TIME GREATEST HITS chronicles the hit-packed career of John Denver without missing a trick. From his earliest, most folk-oriented material ("Leaving on a Jet Plane," a hit for Peter, Paul & Mary) to his more country-flavored compositions ("Take Me Home, Country Roads," the stomp-along "Thank God I'm a Country Boy"), we're given a full picture of Denver's abilities. Early-'80s duets with Placido Domingo ("Perhaps Love") and Emmylou Harris ("Wild Montana Skies") underscore both the far-reaching ripples Denver made in the music world and the full range of his own gifts. Such gentle, melodic ballads as "Annie's Song" and "Sunshine on My Shoulders" are the distilled essence of what made '70s AM radio tick, and will elicit instant nostalgia for the era when Denver's brand of quiet, graceful songcraft reigned supreme. For the hardcore fan, a bonus disc includes previously ...

El Stew No Hesitation CD (1999)

Greatest Hits 1956 music CDs

$13.55

Unquestionably the most entertaining, genre-mashing effort from the Bay Area since Mr. Bungle's first album, No Hesitation is lightning captured in a bottle, or rather on disc. Indeed, the presence of DJs Disk and Extrakd, not to mention Eddie Def, makes this even more of a creative blast; it's hip-hop not interested in following rules, with beats and riffs careening all over the place. Connections could be made to the more squiggly side of the Parliament/Funkadelic empire, thanks to Eddie Def's use and abuse of the vocoder especially, but this is modern music where rhythms and layers shift in cut-up style. Primus' Brain goes off on the drums, holding down the beats better than most hip-hop producers could and adding just the right spice where needed ...
