dem00n Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I love the "Death Is Just the Beginning" CD's, it featured metal bands from around the world of all diffrent generes. Great way to discover new metal bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Natural Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Stairways to Heaven - The Money or the Gun, various artists (all from Australia), 12 different versions of "Stairway to Heaven". This CD is a hoot. Imagine...an Elvis impersonator doing "Stairway" with a "Viva Las Vegas" vibe, or a bluegrass version reminiscent of "Dueling Banjos". Entertaining stuff.

pippy Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Pretty much anything from the Putumayo label. They showcase music from around the globe that one might not otherwise ever hear. We've quite a collection of their stuff. My favourite is probably 'Acoustic Brazil' which is pretty self-explanatory. Another cracker is a mix of stuff from all over Africa - Mali; Senegal; Madagascar and so forth. The albums typically feature music from the last 30 or 40 years but mostly fairly recent tracks. Well worth hunting them down. Here you go! http://www.putumayo.com/en/?utm_source=Home%2BPage&utm_medium=redirect&utm_campaign=Home%2BPage%2Bredirect P.

Daryl M Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I love the 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High' soundtrack. Jackson Browne, Don Felder, Billy Squire, Stevie Nicks, Sammy Hagar, The Cars, Jimmy Buffett, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Led Zeppelin and others. (I think my 80s roots are showing. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak show Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 One of my favorites is the soundtrack to "The Decline of Western Civilization". L.A. Punk at its finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 The sound track to Heavy Metal is very important to my musical life. The #2 would be "Masters of Metal" which was a K-Tell record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great way to discover new metal bands. Those are pretty good, I buy those as well. They are sometimes hit or miss, but I enjoy the songs that suck too because they make me laugh.

Andy R Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Mines not a true compilation album more a compilation of musicians. Temple of the Dog! Man that album rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shnate McDuanus Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 For me it's the four-disc Chess Blues box set...it goes from 1947 all the way to 1967 over four discs in chronological order, and with some really great tracks on each disc, from both the legends (e.g. Buddy Guy, Howlin' Wolf, etc.) and more obscure acts (e.g. Johnny Shines, Andrew Tibbs, etc.) It's just about all the blues a guy could ask for (although I do keep buying blues albums, so...) After that, it's this four-disc Dixieland and Swing box set...same deal as the Chess box set, except with a greater range of acts, and I think a lot of them are more obscure because so much of the swing-era stuff has been "lost in time" so to speak. It's a great compilation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewy60 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 'masters of brutality' is a great 2 cd compilation of old school death circa 1992 when the genre peaked. it's a great 'mixtape' of all the essential bands with their signature tunes....

Mr. Natural Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 For me it's the four-disc Chess Blues box set.... Oh yeah, that's a good one. Also, how about the 9 disc Stax/Volt singles (1959 to 1968) box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brundaddy Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 One of my favorites is the soundtrack to "The Decline of Western Civilization". L.A. Punk at its finest. Yea buddy! Lately I have been addicted to a massive 13-volume comp of (mostly) moldy oldies from Lux Interior & Poison Ivy of the Cramps. It is bonkers. ...and available free online; email me if anybody's interested, I don't have the link handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
