Greatest Music Albums: 101-200
by LittleM1971 
The next 100 albums I love (101-200), This seems like the right place to also start adding my favourite compilations. To be eligable for my chart compilations must contain at least 40% of material that was not released on any of the artists studio albums.

The most perfect compilation ever (well in my eyes anyway)...this is possibly the only album on BEA where I've rated every single track at 90+.

The Jam were a great singles band and with half the songs here not appearing on any of their studio LP's, 'Snap' is far more essential than most career spanning compilations.

Moz & Marr were such prolific and great songwriters you can put together a pretty amazing album just made up of B sides, many of which appear on this compilation.
1. How Soon Is Now (it was a B before it became an A side)
2. London
3. Rubber Ring
4. You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby
5. Is It Really So Strange
6. Half A Person
7. Girl Afraid
8. These Things Take Time
9. Back To The Old House
10. Stretch Out And Wait
11. Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want
12. Asleep [First added to this chart: 08/30/2015]

This is actually my favourite release by Stereolab but being a compilation I've not included it in my top 100. Saddens me to see this wonderful double album down in 9th place in their discography on this site. So many great tracks but John Cage Bubblegum, French Disko and Lo Boob Oscillator are seriously great Stereolab tracks. Play this one Loud!!!

I saw Heavenly in their prime on several occasions but none were more poignant than watching them bring down the curtain on Sarah Records at the Thekla in Bristol back in 1995...a very happy sad moment.
