softfilter Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Of course as always I apologize if this has been done before. Mine are as follows in no particular order: The Byrds Shine on-PINK FLOYD ( Glad to get this for a Christmas gift ,a little steep $$$) TRACKS- Bruce Springsteen SEX,AMERICA,- Cheap Trick (There f*cking cool !) Years-YES In a word-YES (Like slightly better then years more variety) KISS In deed I do like this one but never opened disc 4 and 5 (83-99) And in a different vein: Songs of Freedom-Bob Marley The Real Music Box (25 years of Rounder Records) Everything from blues,bluegrass cajun and folk on it. Thats it ,my wife gave me a heart attack when she told me there was a RUSH box set out . Should of known better, went to local music store.Threeother people beside me over heard me asking about it ,got falsely excited about it . RUSH HAS A BOX SET! Not true... Bummer.

PuppetKing2112 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 If there was a Rush boxset out, it would have to have added material or I wouldn't buy it. As for me, I only have a couple boxsets: Emerson, Lake, & Palmer - Return of the Manticore This one has all the highlights from all the ELP albums, plus some live stuff, and new recordings that, amazingly, don't suck at all, which is unusual for new recordings on a hits compilation. Nirvana - With the Lights Out TONS of unreleased material on here...if you're a Nirvana fan, you need this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonraker Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I dont think I have enough box sets to claim a favorite, but I do have a few and will name them. Jethro Tull - 20 Years of Jethro Tull Incredible box set with loads of unreleased material. There are a lot of interesting songs that in thier own right should have found thier way onto a studio album, but somehow didnt seem to make it on. Also has a cd of live songs, only further prooving how dynamic this band is live. Simon & Garfunkel - The Columbia Studio Recordings (1964-1970) Much easier and cheaper then buying all 6 studio albums they put out in that time frame. This box set is essentially every album they've done. The Smashing Pumpkins - The Aeroplane Flies High Nice box set that most of the unreleased tracks that were scrapped from the Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness cd. The box set is basically all the singles that were released for the album with a nifty little box to hold them in and a booklet with the lyrics to each song. Nirvana - With The Lights Out As PK said, much unreleased material. It never struck me before how much of a punk band Nirvana was in thier earlier days, and this box set really showcases it. A lot of low quality but rare recordings on this, as well as a nice DVD (which I have yet to watch) of some live performances. The Who - 30 Years of Maximum R&B Of the few I have, this is probably a favorite. A few unreleased studio tracks, and a number of reworked or rehersal songs of studio tracks. Covers unreleased material from My Generation to It's Hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the favourite box set that I own. I've got a double cd of ELP called "The Atlantic Years" which is about as much ELP as I can take in one sitting. Great and highly talented group, but usually a little too over the top for me to want to listen to that often... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tull Fan Too Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Jethro Tull: 20 Year Anniversary Box Set (the 30 Year Box Set wasn't as good IMHO) It's a real shame that this set is out of print, although some of the tracks included in it are being released on the remastered albums. The Who: 30 Years of Maximum R&B An excellent overview of The Who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floydfanatic111 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 In no order: Genesis Archives 1 and 2(both boxed sets have either unreleased live material or B-sides or unreleased studio outtakes and Genesis used most of them save a couple) ELP Return of the Manticore(awesome set, shame that it is out of print) Pink Floyd Shine On(excellent way to start one into PF yet it is now OOP) The Who 30 Years of Maximum R&B(The Who's history on 4 CDs with some unreleased pieces) Iron Maiden Eddie's Archive(4 discs of unreleased live material and 2 discs of B-sides) Queen The Crown Jewels(superb way to get Queen's first 8 classic studio efforts in one go) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
