Best Multi-Artist compilations;

[blondeatlast]

in other words, stuff for the car. Finally going to have a decent CD player!

Please list with genre too.

1. What types of music are you into?

Once I know that, I'm sure I can recommend some V.A. comps. After all, I own hundreds of them!

[blondeatlast]

2. You seem to be my musical alter ego, NT!

Just about all of it, actually.

Love the R&B of the '70s, jazz vocalists, Cole Porter, etc. Though I love rock I don't care for it in the car. I love Latin music, esp. jazz.

11. A couple of recommendations

"The Buena Vista Social Club" (Cuban Jazz)
"Can You Dig It? The '70s Soul Experience" (6 CD boxed set)

3. If you mean "store bought" ....

"Saturday Morning Fever"
Your favorite alt-rock musicains doing covers of Saturday morning cartoon themes.

"A Testemonial Dinner - The Songs of XTC"
Sarah McLachlan's verison of 'Dear God' is phenominal. And XTC does an unreleased on it under the name "Terry & the Lovemen" (XTC fans will get that name).

"Beyond the Wildwood A Tribute to Syd Barrett"
Wild compilation cover of early Pink Foyd and solo stuff. Got it on cassette - having it transferred to CD.

4. meegbear!

Two of my favorite comp discs: "Saturday Morning Fever" and "Testimonial Dinner".

May I also suggest -

"Right To Chews" - alt-rock artists covering bubblegum songs.
And the "Pop Under The Surface" series - power pop from around the world.

It is a great compilation.

[David Zephyr]

13. Ericson!

Slip Inside This House.

[ACK]

8. It does not fit with your musical tastes but I have to mention

Faster and Louder: Harcore Punk Vol 1

That is a fun CD.

9. Surprisingly enough, I like old school punk.

And I was VERY post-piunk for awhile. Blonde is not the only unnatural color I have had on my hair! :evilgrin:

12. "Help"

War Child benefit album put together in the late '90s by all the Brit-popsters.

Terry Hall ("Dream a Little Dream of Me"), Radiohead, Oasis, Sinéad O'Connor ("Ode to Billy Joe!"), Terrorvision, Charlatans, Portishead, Massive Attack, Stereo MCs, etc., etc.

A remarkably cohesive album for all the different stuff on it.
