Best compilation ever?
 

I absoloutley love buying compilation CD's. I'm the epitome of "cheap", and if I can get up to 40 songs for like 6 bucks... what a day. And there's always a good band you didn't know about on em too.

My personal favorite is Punk-o-Rama 3, the first I ever bought. I listened to that thing for hours on end, still love most all of the songs on it.

Whats yours?

EDIT: I meant to put this in the music forum... sorry!

You picked the wrong section, man. I'll move it for ya.

Punk-O-Rama is great. I really liked...I think it was 4 or 5, but had a f*cking sweet Guttermouth song on it. I also really enjoy Give Em' the Boot! from Hellcat records. Always some really great stuff on there.

Also, I'm sure you noticed, but wrong section. :lol:

Thanks.

Secure Horizons? that song is awesome, ain't listened to it in a while tho. And I've always meant to pick up a Boot CD, but FYE had it at like 12 bucks a while ago and I haven't seen one since.

Other great ones are the Fat Wreck Chords comps, Plea for Peace, and Take Action (then there's Plea for Peace/Take action which are really good too).

Speaking of Punk-O-Rama, you guys have all got it wrong. Volume 2 was the best.

It was thanks to that one that I discovered TSOL and the classic "Code Blue". Every song on that one is a winner. I have all the other Punk-O-Ramas and they were good, but 2 had by far the best mix of old & new.


"Middle of the night / So silently / I creep on over to the mortuary / Open up the caskets / And fiddle with the dead..."

And you all know the rest... (or should)



Give em the Boot was another fave though, thats where I discovered Choking Victim, and also Joe Strummer and the Mescalaroes. (Just a pity we lost him so early)

My friend I mentioned in the pic topic loves Give'em the Boot he has a huge poster of it.

Best Compilation -

Hardest Hits Vol 3
(Rare 80s Compilation)

The Tony Hawk games all had great music on them (although I can't speak for Underground 2 or anythign after Wasteland). I first played THPS 1 when I was like 8 or 9 and fell in love with my first taste of punk, and wondered where the music came from.

A close second would be the Atlantic Soul Classics Album!
