Titan50: My Top 30 Compilations

Mendigo 02.17.09	I never got the appeal of compilations. a few recs of those bands here: The Beatles, Abbey Road, Magical Mystery Tour and Help! by the Beatles Led Zeppelin IV and How the West Was Won (or another live album) by Led Zep Low, Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie Who's Next, Tommy and Live at Leeds by The Who Master of Reality and Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Titan50 02.17.09	Forgot to mention I don't like live albums
Mendigo 02.17.09	maybe How the West Was Won or Live at Leeds would change your mind, hearing live recordings by these artists is a completely different experience than their studio albums.
Titan50 02.17.09	To me, live albums are just ropier (or sometimes not) versions of songs I already own. If there's a DVD witht he album, THEN I'll buy it
AliW1993 02.17.09	pretty good list. 3, 9, 11, 13, 17, 20, 21 and 25 are all great comps. I always thought that 2 had bad song choiuces though. I'd recommend these 2 - Bleach, MTV Unplugged(yes, it's live but it's better than all of their studio albums, two of which I have rated 5) 3 - s/t, Without You I'm Nothing, Black Market Music 7 - Siamese Dream 9 - Everything Must Go 11 - Badmotorfinger 15 - Paranoid 20 - All are pretty hit and miss, but I'd try Silent Cry, their new one 21 - Nimrod 30 - Americana, Smash is supposed to be their best but I haven't heard that yet.
Titan50 02.17.09	With The Offspring, I'm not going to get Americana, tbh. Kids Aren't Alright is awesomem, but the other two singles I feel are diabolical
ASberg 02.17.09	Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Paranoid and the debut by Sabbath.
