My dad had a 2 cd pack titled Those Rockin' 70s when I was young. a few years ago I started thinking about it and found a copy on the ebay. Might need to see if they made a vinyl version.

On That Note: You Say You Want a Compilation
- Thread starter cyclones500
- Start date
Not the first MTV Unplugged (Paul McCartney did one a year earlier) but the album itself won three Grammy awards at the 35th Annual Grammy Awards in 1993 and became the bestselling live album of all time, and Clapton's bestselling album, selling 26 million copies worldwide.
The complete album...

"Famous Original Hits By 25 Great Country Music Artists" (1965)
Nostalgia indulgence … I've never been a major C&W follower, but this was part of my parents' music collection and was my intro to the genre (beyond what I happened to hear on the radio when I was riding w/ Dad in the pickup).
I didn't appreciate/realize it at the time, but this is LOADED.
It was released in 1965, I listened to it frequently in the early ‘70s, as I was beginning to indulge in spinning records.
Here's a sampler.
A few other tracks, no link necessary for most of these:
Your Cheatin’ Heart - Hank Williams
I Walk the Line - Johnny Cash
I Fall to Pieces — Patsy Cline
I Can’t Stop Loving You - Don Gibson
Act Naturally - Buck Owens
Singing the Blues — Marty Robbins

Was it Homecoming 1976? I was there. It was the Hotel California tour, but I don't think the album was out yet. They kept saying, "we're gonna play another on from our album out soon."
Beatles BBC Vol. 1--a compilation of their radio broadcasts. I've included songs that were never released on their later "official" albums but were probably a regular feature of their live shows in'62-'63

For reasons not clear, Dale Watson's album Blackjack is not advertised as a "greatest hits" collection but it clearly is just that except for maybe the title song.
The first song here, I heard years ago on another collection of songs by various artists entitled A Town South of Bakersfield. I wondered then why I had never heard of this guy with the great country voice.
The singer tells a man nearing 40 (maybe himself) that he needs to be growing up a bit.
In which the singer rues the loss of traditional country music (a common theme in his songs)

Alabama put out a compilation album with some of today's more popular artists singing some of their hit songs
I remember that being released. I think it was December. I got off work and there had been a huge snowstorm but I drove about 10 miles out of my way on city streets to the nearest Best Buy to pick up a copy. I had to have it on the first day of release. Probably my favorite post-breakup release.
