What I mean by this is that when you buy a certain CD, it comes with at least 2 CDs. Box sets are included on this. My top 10 would be as follows: 1) Substance - New Order 2) Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - Smashing Pumpkins 3) The Fragile - Nine Inch Nails 4) Selected Ambient Works, Volume II - Aphex Twin 5) The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld - The Orb 6) Essential Lynyrd Skynyrd - Lynyrd Skynyrd 7) Out There and Back - Paul Van Dyk 8) The Very Best of Meat Loaf - Meat Loaf 9) R - R Kelly 10) The Top Ten Hits - Elvis Presley Honorable mention: Tri Repatae ++ - Autechre, The Singles 1986-1998 - Depeche Mode, Lifeforms - Future Sound of London, Timeless - Goldie, The White Room: Special Edition - The KLF, In-Sides - Orbital, and New Forms - Roni Size.
Pumpkins and NIN are at the top, but I've also got to add the Faith No More greatest hits compilation and the Doors greatest hits.
DMB - Live at Red Rocks Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals - Live from Mars (Good call Smeg) Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - Live Art
Considering I only really own one double CD I guess my favorite is S&M by Metallica. It would probably rank up near the top even if i had a whole collection of double CD sets, though.
Top 5: 1) KISS "Alive!" 2) KISS "Alive II" 3) The Cult "Rare Cult" 4) Motley Crue "Live: Entertainment or Death" 5) Cheap Trick "At Budokan: The Complete Concert" Other: AC/DC "Live" Aerosmith "Pandora's Box" The Beatles "1962-1966" The Beatles "1967-1970" David Bowie "The Singles 1969-1993" Cheap Trick "Sex, America, Cheap Trick" Guns N Roses "Live: Era '87-'93" Judas Priest "Metalworks '73-'93" Mott the Hoople "The Ballad of Mott: A Retrospective" Scorpions "Deadly Sting: The Mercury Years" Sweet "Hit Singles: The Complete A & B Sides" Tesla "Replugged Live" Various Artists "Awesome 80s" (Razor & Tie) Various Artists "Totally 80s" (Razor & Tie)
In no particular order (except alphabetical ): Counting Crows-Across a Wire: Live in New York Neil Diamond-Hot August Night Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals-Live from Mars Dave Matthews Band-Live at Red Rocks 8.15.95 Dave Matthews Band-Listener Supported Dave Matthews Band-Live in Chicago 12.19.98 Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds-Live at Luther College moe.-L Pink Floyd-The Wall The Rolling Stones-Hot Rocks 1964-1971 The Smashing Pumpkins-Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness Widespread Panic-Light Fuse Get Away
I'm not sure I would list any 2-CD sets because they are just a bit too common but 3 boxed sets that all incredible are the following: The boxed set that every single rock-and-roll lover should own because they were the most influential r+r group ever (at least after the Beatles): The Velvet Underground - Peel Slowly and See My favorite jazz boxed set (although if I could pony up the money for Davis's Complete Plugged Nickel Set that may change): John Coltrane - The Complete 1961 Village Vanguard Recordings And what kind of boxed set list would this be without the best set of the best artist of the 20th century? Bob Dylan - The Bootleg Series, Vols. 1-3 : Rare And Unreleased, 1961-1991
I thought it came with 2 discs. Maybe that is the new remastered version that is a double...like they added some bonus tracks and stuck them on an extra disc because I know there are like 3 or 4 bonus tracks on Ace of Spades, but it's still 1 disc. Damn...what a run-on sentence (if it is really a sentence) that was.
Dave Matthews Band - Live at Red Rocks Dave Matthews - Live at Luther College The Live Phish Series (Vol. 1-6) (15 discs...) Phish - Junta Phish - A Live One Phish - Hampton Comes Alive Lynyrd Skynyrd - The Essential Lynyrd Skynyrd *Genesis - The Longs & The Shorts Van Halen - Van Halen Live: Right Here, Right Now Pink Floyd - The Wall Pink Floyd - Pulse *Guns 'N Roses - Use Your Illusion I & II Rush - Chronicles Jimmy Buffett - Boats, Beaches, Bars, & Ballads *Sasha & Digweed - Northern Exposure I, II, & III Sasha & Digweed - Communicate * = bought separately, but essentially a 2 disc or greater set
Wilco - Being There Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile New Order - Substance Hank Williams - 40 Greatest Hits (I only have disc 2, my brother lost disc 1) Talking Heads - Sand in the Vaseline Fantasia Soundtrack
