What are everyone's fav BOX SETS & ANTHOLOGY'S? I love the hits/ b sides by Prince(even though they're non remastered edits).
I just bought The rick james anthology(not listened yet) and ordered the cameo anthology. Led zeppelin box set 1 is fantastic. The Hendrix box set sounds suberb but has alot of pointless stuff on there. Any thought/recommendations? | |

Rhino's "Left of the Dial--Songs From the 80s Underground" is one of the best box sets ever compiled. Rhino's recent "A Life Less Lived: The Gothic Box" is also worthy...though I can't forgive them for calling AFI "goth." | |

I like to play this entire set in the summer when i'm driving or at home chilling. It may not tell the whole story and miss some incredible cuts, but this is truly definitive and one of my fave box sets. Check me out and add me on:

I'm a big box set whore. Over the past few years, I live for them. I'll try to compile a decent list. | |
