His Best : The Chess 50th Anniversary Collection
(more) »rank: 14237by: Bo Diddley
: :'Sounds nice,' Bo Diddley tongue-in-cheekily observes of his music in 'The Story of Bo Diddley,' one of three self-named tunes on this 20-track examination of his classic '50s and '60s Checker Records sides. Not only was the former Ellas McDaniels rhythmically sharp enough to have a beat named after himself; he had a great guitar sound and a seemingly endless supply of shaggy-dog stories, lover-man boasts, silly jokes, and complaints with which to fuse them. His Best boils down the two-CD Chess Box, including signature pieces like 'Bo Diddley' and 'You Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover' alongside unjustly obscure tunes such ...

Essential Santana
(more) »rank: 15929by: Santana
: :Guitar hero, world-music pioneer, and Latin-rock superstar--Carlos Santana embodies them all on this 33-track double-disc anthology of the legend's first 20 years in music. Yet none of those labels seem to capture the true musical essence of the mercurial, Mexican-born icon. Literally from the very beginning here (the furiously rhythmic 1969 reworking of Nigerian star Babatunde's Olatunji's 'Jingo'), Santana cuts his own rewarding and peculiar swath across rock history, whether giving similar 'Jingo' treatment to Tito Puente's 'Oye Como Va' or infusing the meat-and-potatoes R&B of 'Everybody's Everything' with his emotional soloing. While that familiar, warm guitar tone adds compelling new dimensions to ...

Romantically lyrical melodies like 'I Will Never Love Again' contrast brightly with fun frolics like 'The Friends' Song' and edgy mood pieces like 'The Cliffs of Insanity.' While most soundtracks are really just compilations of hits or ...
