Yes, it's Madonna. Yes, she is responsible for making being a "pop princess" something young girls everywhere aspire to be. But, she is also a very smart woman. She knows a great hook when it's in front of her, and she's not afraid to take it. She knows how severely limited her vocal range is, and she stays well inside that boundary. She is otherwise risky, dangerous, and she made girls a whole lot more fun in the 80's than they ever were before.
The Immaculate Collection covers her biggest hits from the 80's. Love it or hate it, these are great pop recordings, full of confidence and catchy as hell. These are the songs that made Madonna the icon she is today, and they are an important part of our musical history. And if you are going to have a Madonna album, this is the one to have...there's no filler, it really is a best of, and it's a perfect look at her legend. I'd say that it's a necessary part of a collection. This music is more 80's than any other. I rate it a five, and I stand beside it. Because, among all of the other things that it is, it's also really good stuff. Just run down the tracklist. You should know them all. And to have all this on one disc? Yes!

1979-GRUNT/RCA
Produced By LARRY COX & JEFFERSON STARSHIP
1. Ride The Tiger
2. Caroline
3. Play On Love
4. Miracles
5. Fast Buck Freddie

7. With Your Love

9. Count On Me

12. Hyperdrive
Once upon a time there was a great band that came out of the San Francisco scene of the late 1960’s called the Jefferson Airplane. When the Airplane was in its dying stages, Paul Kantner, Marty Balin and Grace Slick turned the ashes of that band into the considerably lesser group that was known as the Jefferson Starship. Despite existing under nonstop deterioration, this band lasted for more than a decade before Kantner and Balin were both gone, leaving Slick and former Elvin Bishop singer Mickey Thomas to further desecrate the Airplane legacy as simply Starship, a unit that released the awful Knee Deep In The Hoopla and its ridiculous single, “We Built This City”. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves here. Gold is a compilation from the first four Jefferson Starship albums, before the 80’s and the really bad taste kicked in. And although the period covered here (1974-78) is the strongest in the Starship history, you can hear how much weaker it is than just about everything recorded previously by the Airplane.
Part of the problem is Marty Balin and his penchant for straight balladry. Of the four albums represented, he has one ballad from each represented here, and they alone are what keeps Gold from being a better album. “Caroline” (from Ride The Tiger), “Miracles” (Red Octopus), “With Your Love” (Spitfire), and “Count On Me (Earth) represent everything that was wrong with this band. Without Balin at the front, they were at least interesting. “Ride The Tiger” is as hard as the band ever rocked, and it’s terrific. The other non-ballad tracks are satisfying enough to make up for the Balin shortcomings, particularly “Play On Love” and “St. Charles”. “Light The Sky On Fire” and “Hyperdrive” are inconsequential songs that were originally includes with the LP as a 7” single. Gold is as consistent and as good as Jefferson Starship ever got: this is better than having the uneven individual albums, and it has everything you could ever need from one of the most disappointing bands of the rock era.

19. Give My Love To Rose
20. The Man Comes Around (Early Take)
21. Hurt
There are Johnny Cash compilations everywhere you look. The difference with this one is that it encompasses his entire career: from Sun Records to his latter day recordings with Rick Rubin. The result is a truly impressive look at the entire career of Cash, who went from the 1950’s and pretty much never stopped making music. The really big hits are here: “Folsom Prison Blues”, “I Walk The Line”, “Ring Of Fire”, “A Boy Named Sue”. His time with The Highwaymen (with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson) is documented, as is “The Wanderer”, recorded with U2.
The American recordings also gets a nod here, as it should. This was Cash at his most raw and emotional form. The late take on “Give My Love To Rose” is powerful. “Rusty Cage” is a great cover of the Soundgarden song recorded with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. And of course “Hurt”, the last hit Cash had before he died, is included. Not an easy task to cover a career this massive on one disc…but The Legend Of Johnny Cash does a great job of it.

18. Bama Lama, Bama Loo
The real King Of Rock & Roll, the Originator, the man who really set the next 50+ years in motion? Little Richard was playing this music years before Bill Haley or Elvis Presley came on the scene, and his early hits were the blueprint for the rock star. Little Richard was crazy, outrageous, and original, and several, including Elvis, patterend themselves after him. These songs were recorded in a flash of mostly 4 years...4 years that completely changed the landscape of popular music. In 1958, at the height of his popularity, Richard walked away from it all for God, but the legacy of the early music will live forever. He came back in the 60's, but his time was past. And he'd already done enough already.
This collection was made out of date by later and fuller compilations from his output in the 50's, but it's still a nice starting point if you can find it. (You'll be better off with 1992's The Georgia Peach.) This also contains a track from 1964 ("Bama Lama, Bama Loo") which is pretty cool. Not a thing wrong musically (and the liner notes HAD to have been written on coke...they're an awesome mess!), but it's incomplete. [First added to this chart: 05/21/2026]

8. Makin' Whoopee!
9. Coconut
10. Subterranean Homesick Blues
In which our hero makes a huge mistake and buys a cheap budget collection. Harry Nilsson was a huge talent, and he recorded a lot of really great music. This collection looks like someone who knew a couple of his hits just grabbed some other titles at random and threw it out there. "Everybodys Talkin'" and his definitive take on Badfinger's "Without You" are pure gold, and "Coconut" is worth having only to weird out your friends. The rest? "Joy" is just odd...he didn't even use his real name on this. His take on Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues" is just weird. The rest is Tin Pan Alley stuff. Missing? More great songs than there are crappy ones here. Skip this. I'm sorry.
Nilsson was a drinker, but well respected in the music industry. And for good reason. His take on Randy Newman material is great, and his friendship with John Lennon resulted in a fine album, 1974's Pussy Cats. Please skip this, though. If you want his hits, pony up for a decent collection. [First added to this chart: 05/12/2026]

18. Give My Love To Rose
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: 04/29/2026]
