As the 1950's get further and further away, big chunks of the history of rock & roll fade into obscurity. One of the things that has almost disappeared is the importance of doo-wop music. The Cadillacs were one of the first, and one of the finest. They hit big in 1954 with "Gloria", then again the following year with "Speedoo". Too many personnel changes led to their demise by the early 1960's, although they are still alive in a diluted form even today.
This best of is actually preferable to the multi disc album that was released later on. The 18 tracks here represent what really is the best of this group, and should be a part of any doo wop collection. These tracks were recorded between 1954 and 1960, and represent a solid body of work that should never be forgotten. So, if you have the time, put away your whatever you're hooked on at the moment for a moment and rediscover an important part of all the music you listen to today. The Cadillacs deserve to be remembered much better than they are. [First added to this chart: 09/03/2012]

The early years of the career of Johnny Cash were his most consistent, and his most exciting. He signed with Sun Records in 1955 and made his first record, “Cry, Cry, Cry” (sadly not included here) and “Hey Porter”. Between 1955 and 1958, Cash was the most prolific and consistent of the Sun artists (Elvis Presley left not long after signing), but Cash was unhappy with his contract, and the fact that Sam Phillips was concentrating more on the career of Jerry Lee Lewis. Cash left Sun in 1958 for Columbia, but left behind a treasure of material.
The Sun Years collects the hits from this period nicely, but for the complete picture, you’re better off with the three disc Complete Sun Masters…pricey, but worth it. In the meantime, this album served as the definitive early years best of for Cash, and still fills that role nicely. It’s good to have “Folsom Prison Blues”, “I Walk The Line”, and “Big River” all in one place. Still highly recommended, but the bigger and bulkier mini box set of Sun Masters will make you forget this pretty quickly. [First added to this chart: 02/08/2013]

Bands in the New Romantic movement of the 1980's didn't come any better packaged than ABC...and they didn't have the songs, either. The main players here are Martin Fry and Mark White, and throughout the 80's, they drove ABC mostly under the radar to quite a bit of success. They tweaked their sound from record to record, but the bottom line always was, they had some great songs in them.
Absolutely is a best of that covers the entire decade. And it's surprising to hear just how much good material they had. The big hits were "The Look Of Love" and "Poison Arrow", but there is also much to be said for "When Smokey Sings", "One Better World", and the excellent "Be Near Me". The band changed their sound too often to be consistent big sellers...too bad. This is a good overview of a good band. [First added to this chart: 08/10/2012]

Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart is rated in the top 10% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.9/100, a mean average of 90.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.2.
