Best pop oldies according to redditors

Bieber, Ke$ha, and Black Eyed Peas. It's the Reddit tri-fecta of hate.

You'd probably enjoy the Julee Cruise album Floating into the Night. It came out round about the same time, music by Angelo Badalamenti, lyrics by David Lynch. It contains all the songs from Twin peaks including some in the series but not on the OST disc, as well as a few that weren't in the series at all.

Nice, thanks! This pressing is allegedly inferior to the Repertoire pressing, but it's also half the price, so...

There's also the Big Beat pressing which is priced in-between the two... just to make it nice and complicated.

There's a big thread on Steve Hoffman if anyone is interested.

It's cute that this little old man is running a music shop, but seriously how many of things in this video sound like an unsustainable business model to you:

• Charges $24.99 for The Essential Elvis Prestley (Amazon: $11.88)
  
  
• Charges $16 For The Essentials The Monkees (Amazon: $7.99)
  
  
• Proprietor doesn't know how to use a cell phone, computer or cash register
  
  
• Customer told to come back the next day because store owner can't find CD
  
  
• Stores vinyl records in a sloping stack (warps them)
  
  God bless him for doing what he loves, but this would not be a for-profit business no matter the era.

Hey, welcome! I'm Justin, co-host of TCBCast, an Elvis podcast and I was in the place you were back in the early 00s when I was just discovering Elvis so this is an exciting time for you!

A lot of other Elvis fans will try to overwhelm you with recommendations about what they like most and why you should like it, but everyone's tastes are different. So the easiest thing you can do is just listen to his biggest hits and see what resonates with you. They were his biggest hits for a reason - they were good!

Do you have Spotify/Google Play/Prime Music? There's a compilation called The Essential Elvis Presley that really does a good job covering a lot of his big hits and some of his more minor hits - did you know that up until Drake & Li'l Wayne, Elvis had more Top 40 hits than anyone else? So even some of his songs that didn't become big #1 hits were still very influential!

This set is a good starting place because it's not too much but it covers a lot of ground! Elvis sang in a lot of different genres and he sounded different throughout his life vocally as he grew older, so you'll probably find that some of the songs you like more than the others.

If you do, then you can use Google or Wikipedia to look up what album the songs you like best originally came out on, or what year they came out, and then look for albums that came out that year and listen to them see if you like that, too!

I would also really recommend watching the documentary HBO put out last year called Elvis Presley: The Searcher. It's a great film that puts his career into context and might help you understand his life better. There is a soundtrack album that came out to accompany the documentary and I would happily recommend that also.

Exploring Elvis' music can be exciting but also very confusing to start with since he recorded over 700 songs and starred in over 30 movies, all of which had music in them, too!

Here's an example.. put two of these in your cart go to the purchase page.. Its proves the promo exist.. There's obviously restrictions beyond being in stock and sold from Amazon.

I hope you slept well. Thank you for the contest.

The song "Time Will Tell" is not on the "Great Lost Kinks Album", the person who posted that video just put that album picture on there.

The song was never released back in the mid 60's when it was recorded. However you can find it on their album "The Kink Kontroversy" (Deluxe Edition). Kink Kontroversy was originally released in 1965, however the remastered deluxe edition of 2011 features the track along with other unreleased tracks and outtakes.

I have this version currently available on Amazon and I think it sounds incredible. I've never been disappointed by it. I've heard a few different pressings of Pet Sounds and think that if you want a good copy to listen to regularly you will not regret it or need to worry about damaging a rare/valuable pressing.

The troll is strong with this one....inside: http://www.amazon.com/Inspiration-William-Hung/dp/B0001V1M64

I'll leave this here. William Hung's CD

Bit of a thread resurrection here, but I didn't realize any debate had arisen in response to my comment. So I have 484 Beatles tracks; there's the entire UK studio discography, then there's the Past Master's compilation which is composed entirely of tracks not present on any studio release (albeit with a couple alternate versions of songs), and then there is the three-disc Anthology series with various outtakes, interview snippets, and alternate song versions. Then there's Live at the BBC, which adds quite a bit to the total itself. Topping it all off is The Beatles with Tony Sheridan, which adds even more to the count with a bit of repetition, with its various versions of multiple tracks. So that is the main Beatles playlist in my library.

I suppose if I were to get technical and include the mono remaster box set (my main Beatles playlist contains only the stereo), that would bring the total to 669 Beatles tracks. Keep in mind that, in my Beatles collection, if you encounter the same title multiple times it is invariably a different version; this could mean it's an alternate take, an alternate mix, a live version, a single version, mono or stereo, or even sung in German instead of English in a few cases.

It would depend on your definition of bloat, I suppose.

Oh, the first one is great too, I just always loved the more experimental days in general.

You should also check out The Beatles With Tony Sheridan: First Recordings 50th Anniversary Edition. It contains all of their recordings with Tony Sheridan, including the songs that were actually released on singles that aren't on the Anthology. Not essential to the collection, but a good option when you want more.

Gotta love CONELRAD, I've actually been considering buying this:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000A5HJ86

For anyone who used the Conelrad Radio mod for Fallout, this website was the initial source.

Conelrad put together an AWESOME CD set called Atomic Platters that was basically digitized for use in Fallout. If you have any interest in this music, you should give them some love.

There's a fantastic box set of cold war era radio propaganda and music called Atomic Platters. However due to the price and rarity, you'll probably have to look for it through *ahem* "other channels"

Sensational album. A million upvotes for mentioning it.

But it seems to me that sad music, that's something the OP's going to carry in his heart the rest of his life.

Sincere and heartfelt condolences.

But I'd recommend:
Floating Into the Night by Julee Cruise
Avalon, by Roxy Music
Burning World, by the Swans

I probably could come up with a lot of others. Too much sorrow in this life.

Now 31?

I just discovered the 17 CD boxed set.

Apparently it is so popular, Amazon has had to stop selling it, which is puzzling, because they never had it in the first place. It was only available for pre-order.

Cool video on the Abbey Road page

My favorite on your wishlist is Abbey Road by far.

My favorite under 10 dollar item on mine is probably this because I love papercraft.

I dunno... at this moment, Abbey Road is selling for $12.50 on CD and $22.98 on vinyl. Seems like ~$23 is the standard for records and ~$12 is kinda standard for CDs these days. CDs are a dying medium, compared to vinyl which has an active demand from from a small niche of consumers. I guess ~$23 doesn't bother me too much, since I was paying $15 for CDs back in the mid 90s, and if you adjust that number for inflation, guess what value you get?
