1990-RHINO
Produced By JACK CLEMENT
1. Folsom Prison blues
2. Hey Porter
3. I Walk The line
4. Get Rhythm
5. Guess Things Happen That Way
6. Rock Island Line
7. Home Of The Blues
8. Luther Played The Boogie
9. Mean Eyed Cat
10. Big River
11. Next In Line
12. Come In Stranger
13. Train Of Love
14. There You Go
15. Ballad Of A Teenage Queen
16. So Doggone Lonesome
17. The Ways Of A Woman In Love
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]

1986-ELEKTRA
VARIOUS PRODUCERS
1. Killing An Arab
2. 10:15 Saturday Night
3. Boys Don't Cry
4. Jumping Someone Else's Train
5. A Forest
6. Play For Today
7. Primary
8. Other Voices
9. Charlotte Sometimes
10. The Hanging Garden
11. Let's Go To Bed
12. The Walk
13. The Love Cats
14. The Caterpillar
15. In Between Days
16. Close To Me
17. A Night Like This
The Cure were, very simply, the coolest of anyone who played New Wave music. And Staring At The Sea (Staring At The Beach in other parts of the world) collects all of their best songs from their early period: up through 1986. And though they did some great stuff afterward, this is the perfect introduction. Great hooks are everywhere here: even the now creepy "Killing An Arab" sounds great. And while the titles may not ring a lot of bells ("Love Cats" will...such a terrible song, yet so catchy and well done), they'll sound familiar when you hear them. This is a great compilation done the right way. There's no fluff here: it's a true best of.
The Cure is still at it, and Staring At The Sea is still a great album: one of the best snapshots of the early 80's you'll find. And even though a lot of it sounds aged, it doesn't sound out of time...if that makes any sense. A must for any 80's fan. [First added to this chart: 04/16/2026]

1991-SPECIALTY
Produced By BILLY VERA
1. Tutti Frutti
2. Baby
3. I’m Just A Lonely Guy
4. True Fine Mama
5. Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey
6. Slippin’ And Slidin’ (Peepin’ And Hidin’)
7. Long Tall Sally
8. Miss Ann
9. Oh Why?
10. Ready Teddy
11. Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey
12. Rip It Up
13. Lucille
14. Heeby-Jeebies
15. Can’t Believe You Wanna Leave
16. Shake A Hand
17. All Around The World
18. She’s Got It
19. Jenny Jenny
20. Good Golly Miss Molly
21. The Girl Can’t Help It
22. Send Me Some Lovin’
23. Ooh! My Soul
24. Keep A Knockin’
25. Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On
Seventeen of the 25 songs here made the Billboard Top 100. Almost all of them were top 10’s, and three went to number one. He also appeared in three films, and was one of the biggest stars on the planet. What’s impressive is that Little Richard accomplished all of this in just two years. And then he walked away from it all for a life as a minister. The impact that Little Richard had on rock & roll in such a short period of time cannot be overstated. He brought raw energy, sexuality, and the high male voice along with faster songs and a sense of danger…all of which are important staples of rock to this day.
The Georgia Peach is compiled only of songs from 1955-1957. And it’s just as full as artists with 25 year careers. His biggest hits are here…”Tutti Frutti”, “Lucille”, “Good Golly Miss Molly”, “The Girl Can’t Help It”, as well as a ton of songs that defined him as a great artist. The Georgia Peach is a perfect compilation, with basically everything you need from his best period. Richard made several comebacks later on, but never with the impact of these fine two years. A must have. [First added to this chart: 03/19/2026]

2008-99.5 THE MOUNTAIN
NO PRODUCTION CREDIT
1. No Reason (Rebecca Folsom)
2. 8th & Wrong Way (Zack Nichols)
3. Shadows In My Room (Savage Henry)
4. Skyline Drive (Angie Stevens)
5. Moonlight (John Common)
6. Fingerprints (Melanie Susuras)
7. Sorry (Beneath Your Ego)
8. Stumblin’ (Ten Cent Redemption)
9. Just Because (Chris Barber)
10. Lose Control (Hypnotic Fly)
11. Dougie (Yerkish)
12. Comparatively (Remember May)
13. Here Comes The Fabulous (King For A Day)
14. 49 Floors (49 Floors)
15. Spinning Around (Kim Jones)
16. Everything (Jason Vigil)
17. Imagine (Something Underground)
This is an annual album put out by Denver radio station 99.5 The Mountain. It consists of live performances by some of the area’s top bands, with the proceeds going to the Music In The Schools initiative. It’s about as good as a compilation like this can be…not every band is going to sound great. But there are some highlights: John Common, Angie Stevens, Yerkish, and several others are as good as their reputations in the Mile High city would suggest.
And, it’s all for a good cause. And it’s a good way to hear what you might be going to check out for the evening. Denver, from the playlist here, has some pretty good live music. If you can get your hands on it (you can actually get this at cdbaby.com), it’s a decent enough collection with just enough average stuff to keep it honest. [First added to this chart: 03/08/2026]

1997-WARNER BROS
Produced By DAN RUSSELL
1. Let The Day Begin
2. Everywhere I Go
3. I Still Believe
4. I Don't Wanna
5. Memory
6. What's Happened To You
7. You Were There
8. Become America
9. To Feel This Way
10. Us
11. All You Hold On To
12. We Know Too Much
13. The Walls Came Down
14. Uncovered
The Call, one of the many forgotten bands from the 80's, were not the norm. Owing more to 70's punk than either New Wave or the metal flavor of the decade, The Call were led by Michael Been, a limited singer with more than enough passion to make up for his shortcomings. The band could rock, and put out a good bunch of excellent singles. "Let The Day Begin", "Everywhere I Go", and "The Walls Came Down" kept the band on the radio. The respect they got from the music industry was huge...guest musicians include Garth Hudson, Peter Gabriel, Bono, and Bruce Cockburn. There are lots of really good songs here, and The Call is a band that deserves to be revisited.
The band broke up in 1990. A better compilation exists...1991's The Walls Came Down: The Best Of The Mercury Years. But this is still worth having. [First added to this chart: 02/20/2026]
