15. No More Songs
16. I Ain’t Marching Anymore (Live)
Interesting collection, this. Phil Ochs was a well known and quite prolific folk singer whose best known songs were acoustic protest songs…most famously about the US involvement in Vietnam. But starting in 1967, Ochs began a radical shift towards a more baroque pop style, incorporating orchestrations into his songs, which became less about protest and more about love and life. Can’t blame the guy for doing what he wanted…but the results were iffy. And yet…there’s something compelling about this odd collection of the music that Ochs was NOT famous for. This compilation, released twelve years after his death, has been out of print for years. But if you can find it…
The songs here are from albums he recorded between 1967 and 1970. His final album was 1970’s Greatest Hits, which contained only new material. There’s also a single from 1973 (“Kansas City Bomber”), and one live acoustic protest song, “I Ain’t Marching Anymore”, which is more of what Ochs is remembered for…but which feels strangely out of place here. But this is oddly attractive…not just because it’s been unavailable for 18 years now, but because it shows Ochs in a strange transition that would lead to his unfortunate suicide. His story is one of the saddest in popular music, and despite efforts by his family to keep his legacy alive, Ochs is an overlooked figure today. This isn’t great…but it’s worth hearing as part of his legacy. [First added to this chart: 08/17/2026]

1983-RCA
VARIOUS PRODUCERS
1. Say It Isn't So
2. Sara Smile
3. She's Gone
4. Rich Girl
5. Kiss On My List
6. You Make My Dreams
7. Private Eyes
8. Adult Education
9. I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)
10. Maneater
11. One On One
12. Wait For Me (Live)
Say what you want about Hall & Oates. Yes, there are questions about the most successful duo in the history of rock: what, exactly, does John Oates do? Why did they have to be so damn poppy? But the one thing that cannot be denied is that Daryl Hall possesses maybe the greatest white soul voice in the world this side of Van Morrison. And as this greatest hits package shows, their long (starting in 1972) career was justified with some great performances.
So while, yeah..."Kiss On My List" and "I Can't Go For That" may be over the top, and the big 80's handclaps on "Private Eyes" sound dated, and "Maneater" may now sound like creepy music for cougars to put their makeup on to, you can't deny the greatness of "Sara Smile", "She's Gone", "Rich Girl", and so on...and "You Make My Dreams" could be the catchiest song ever. These are all big hits, many of them great, and the duo became the primer for skinny tie bands who wanted this kind of soul but never knew how to get it.
In the end, this is a fine collection of songs sung by Daryl Hall, a truly golden voice. [First added to this chart: 08/11/2026]

1976-ELEKTRA
Produced By GLYN JOHNS & BILL SZYMCZYK
1. Take It Easy
2. Witchy Woman
3. Lyin' Eyes
4. Already Gone
5. Desperado
6. One Of These Nights
7. Tequila Sunrise
8. Take It To The Limit
9. Peaceful, Easy Feeling
10. Best Of My Love
Here's a fact. You know every song on this album. If you don't know them all by looking at the titles, then you'll know them when you hear them. And if you don't know them by hearing them, you are simply not from this planet. One of the more solid greatest hits packages ever released, this album came out at the same time as Hotel California, making the Eagles megastars overnight...not that they weren't already doing well.
The albums that these 10 tracks come from are not the best you'll find. But this is one of those rare, perfect collections. One of the best greatest hits packages ever released. If you don't have it, then why the hell not? It's already in your brain...you might as well be able to hear it outside of your own head. [First added to this chart: 07/26/2026]

1984-RHINO
VARIOUS PRODUCERS
1. Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On
2. Great Balls Of Fire
3. Breathless
4. High School Confidential
5. What'd I Say
6. Drinkin' Wine Spo-dee-o-dee
7. Matchbox
8. Jambalaya
9. When The Saints Go Marchin' In
10. Lewis Boogie
11. It'll Be Me
12. All Night Long
13. Big Blon' Baby
14. Crazy Arms
15. Ubangi Stomp
16. Big Legged Woman
17. Put Me Down
18. Wild One
Along with Little Richard, it was The Killer, Jerry Lee Lewis, who put the excitement in rock & roll. These early sides recorded for Sun Records are what made rock stick, jump, and rattle the foundations of music. Lewis was an animal on the piano, and his ability to raise the roof was like none other. He was the real first rockstar. His road to fame was derailed early on when he married his 13 year old cousin and was blackballed from American radio, but these early hits are among the very best of 50's rock & roll.
Even the complete lack of liner notes doesn't hurt this...the songs are just that good. Any fan of the roots of rock and rockabilly should own this. 18 of the very best of the beginning of rock. [First added to this chart: 07/17/2026]

1994-ELEKTRA/WARNER
1. Saints (The Breeders)
2. Divine Hammer (The Breeders)
3. Basket Case (Green Day)
4. Welcome To Paradise (Green Day)
5. Do You Love Me? (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds)
6. Loverman (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds)
7. Can I Run (L7)
8. Andres (L7)
9. Ping Pong (Stereolab)
10. Wow And Flutter (Stereolab)
11. She Don't Use Jelly (The Flaming Lips)
12. Slow Nerve Action (The Flaming Lips)
13. Bocabola (Boredoms)
14. Budokan Tape Try: 500 Tapes High (Boredoms)
Someone gave this to me. It's a promotional only CD advertising some of the acts for Lollapalooza 1994, which I did not go to. It's about 50/50...the Green Day tracks are predictable, and the songs by Stereolab and Boredoms I can certainly live without. It's always nice to hear The Breeders, and it's wonderously creepy hearing Nick Cave snarl "Do You Love Me?". I have the rest. A nice little thing to put on when you don't want to hear the same artist over a full album, and it must have been a pretty good show.
Hey, it was free. Can't complain about that! [First added to this chart: 07/16/2026]
