Whatever: The '90s Pop and Culture Box 31 reviews
Various Artists
Rhino / Wea, 2005
Great because it HAS songs out of the ordinary! We all KNOW Pearl Jam and Nirvana!
This is great because we all have a lot of the songs that were really popular by Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc... These are titles that you don't get on EVERY collection or hear all day on 90's stations, but still huge hits for either long or short periods of time. Great job!

Various Artists
Rhino / Wea, 2005
Portable Greatness
+ Best Punk/New Romantic box set I own, and I have a few,
+ If You Know Sire, Then You Know What I Mean
I remember when Sire showed up and started signing up every group worth signing up in NYC in the '70's. They did the same in the U.K. And marched on to one-hit wonders worldwide. I, too, own nearly everything they produced from the late '76+. Some are on vinyl, others I replicated on cassettes, ...

Children of Nuggets: Original ARtyfacts from the Second Psychedelic Era - 1976-1996
Various Artists
Rhino / Wea, 2005
It would take thousands of dollars (or as many hours in download time) to hoard the most coveted songs from the eighties' top secret power pop bands, garage combos and post-new wave throngs into one collection. Or you can let Rhino Records, which masterfully conspired with writer/musician Lenny Kaye late last century to inflate and repackage Kaye's original Nuggets compilation, do the legwork. ...
