1	His Best (1997) more music like this by Bo Diddley With Bo Diddley's various hits and anthology packages all out of print and the multi-disc deluxe box set out of pocketbook reach for most casual consumers, MCA finally comes up with a 20-track compilation that hits the bull's-eye and makes this rock pioneer's best and most influential work available to everyone. The song list reads like a primer ... see all copies from £7.00! new only from £7.00!
2	La Bamba [Original Soundtrack] (1987) more music like this by Original Soundtrack After two critically acclaimed but only moderately selling albums, los Lobos were hired to record songs for the film biography of Hispanic '50s rocker Ritchie Valens, resulting in this soundtrack album, which, in addition to eight los Lobos recordings, features tracks by Marshall Crenshaw, Brian Setzer, and others. Los Lobos' remake of the title ... see all copies from £2.89! new only from £4.22!
3	Have Guitar, Will Travel (1959) more music like this by Bo Diddley Amazingly, Bo Diddley's third album -- containing classics such as "Cops and Robbers," "Run Diddley Daddy," and "Mona (I Need You Baby)" -- has only been reissued on vinyl, and even that's out of print. More than one British Invasion band learned what they needed to know about American rock & roll from the songs on this record (the Stones cut ... see all copies from £7.52! new only from £7.52!
4	The Essential Bo Diddley (2001) more music like this by Bo Diddley see all copies from £10.48! new only from £10.48!
5	The Definitive Collection (2007) more music like this by Bo Diddley Universal's 2007 set The Definitive Collection is a retitled reissue of the previously released 1997 comp His Best. No matter the title, this is an excellent 20-track roundup of Bo basics. To be sure, not everything great that he did is here by any means -- a bunch of great singles are missing, such as the crushing boogie of "Diddly Wah Diddy," ... see all copies from £8.17! new only from £8.17!
6	Cruisin' 1959 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Part of L.A. DJ Hunter Hancock's theme included the declaration "you'll hear music that runs the gamut from bebop to ballads, swing to sweet, and blues to boogie." And while on this fifth installment of Increase Records' history of classic rock & roll radio, the claim isn't strictly true, Hancock is heard guffawing in between an array of R&B hits ... see all copies from £6.68! new only from £7.55!
7	Tales from the Funk Dimension 1970-73: Drive by Bo (2004) more music like this by Bo Diddley see all copies from £12.38! new only from £14.47!
8	Oldies But Goodies, Vol. 10 (196?) more music like this by Various Artists Oldies But Goodies, Vol. 10 collects 17 memorable pop and rock hits from the '50s, '60s, and '70s, including the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," Jimmy Reed's "Bright Lights, Big City," Dobie Gray's "Drift Away," the Olympics' "(Baby) Hully Gully," the Crests' "The Angels Listened In," the Shirelles' "Dedicated to the One I ... see all copies from £6.15! new only from £6.81!

10	Bo Diddley/I'm a Man (2005) more music like this by Bo Diddley see all copies from £5.47! new only from £9.46!
11 view cover	Bo Diddley Is a Gunslinger (1961) more music like this by Bo Diddley Not only does it sport one of the most striking album covers of its era (Diddley decked out in cowboy finery, about to get the drop on some unfortunate varmint with one of his fieriest guitars lying at his feet), this 1961 album contains some fine music. The title track continues the legend of you-know-who, while "Ride on Josephine" and "Cadillac" ... see all copies from £3.07! new only from £7.52!
12 view cover	The Super Super Blues Band (1968) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf w/ Muddy Waters & Bo Diddley Featuring Bo Diddley stubbing his toe on a wah-wah pedal, Wolf and Muddy clearly ill at ease trying to sing songs they don't know and a super annoying female chorus giving out banshee shrieks approximately every 45 seconds, this is one very chaotic, untogether super session to try and wade through. Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from £4.44! new only from £4.44!
13 view cover	Blues Masters, Vol. 6: Blues Originals (1993) more music like this by Various Artists It's unfortunate, but it's true: the original versions of many blues classics aren't nearly as well known as their hit covers by (usually white) rock groups. That's not to say that some of these covers aren't great as well, but it's both educational and enjoyable to hear them from the source's mouth. Blues Originals contains 18 original versions ... see all copies from £7.51!
14 view cover	Living the Blues [Time-Life Inc.] (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Leave it to the venerable Time-Life Inc. to release a great grand-daddy among blues compilations, featuring genuine (and often inexplicably ignored) hardcore blues artists, presenting some of their best but not necessarily well-circulated songs. The scholarship here is all about diversity among very good examples: there are no soft anomalies or ... see all copies from £21.84! new only from £21.84!
15 view cover	Billboard Top R&B Hits: 1955 (1989) more music like this by Various Artists Despite its faults, Rhino's Billboard Top R&B Hits is one of the finest retrospectives of R&B from 1955 to 1974 ever assembled. The song selection was sometimes puzzling, the liner notes nonexistent, and each disc only had ten tracks, frequently lasting under half-an-hour. However, the 20-disc series featured most of the major artists and singles ... see all copies from £8.19! new only from £8.19!
16 view cover	Guitar Legends (1997) more music like this by Chuck Berry & Bo Diddley Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley's Guitar Legends contains five tracks apiece from the legendary rock & rollers, all culled from their classic recordings for Chess Records. There is a fair share of hits here, but not as many as you may expect -- Diddley's theme song "Bo Diddley" is nowhere to be found, nor is "Say Man" or "Crackin' Up," while any number ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £2.73!
17 view cover	Bo Diddley/Go Bo Diddley (1986) more music like this by Bo Diddley Legendary guitarist, gifted songwriter, master of rhythm, snappy dresser -- Bo Diddley is all these things and more, and this two-fer CD, which reissues Diddley's first two albums on one convenient compact disc, offers a solid introduction to this man's special brand of musical innovation. While anyone looking for a full overview of Diddley's ... see all copies from £51.69!
18 view cover	Best of the Blues [Box] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £3.59! new only from £6.38!
19 view cover	The Chess Box (1989) more music like this by Willie Dixon This was the most unusual, and probably the most difficult to assemble of MCA's Chess Box series, mostly because of the unusual nature of Willie Dixon's contribution to Chess Records. To be sure, Dixon rates a place in the history of the label right alongside that of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter, but his role was more subtle than ... see all copies from £10.02! new only from £16.57!
20 view cover	Basic Blues, Vol. 1 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £4.91! new only from £4.91!
21 view cover	Bo Knows Bo (1995) more music like this by Bo Diddley MCA Special Products' Bo Knows Bo is an odd hodgepodge of highlights from Bo Diddley's classic Chess and Checker recordings. There are a number of hits and cult favorites here -- "Hey! Bo Diddley," "Diddley Daddy," "Diddy Wah Diddy," "Crackin' Up," "Road Runner," "Who Do You Love," "You Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover" -- but such obvious choices ... see all copies from £3.56! new only from £4.89!
22 view cover	History of Rock: The 50s, Pt. 1 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists History of Rock: The 50s, Pt. 1 focuses mainly on doo wop and artists influenced by that pervasive '50s sound. Among the 24 tracks are quite a few classics like the Spaniels' "Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight," Dion & the Belmonts' "A Teenager in Love," the Five Satins' "In the Still of the Night," and the Dells' "Oh, What a Night" as well as some ... see all copies from £4.33! new only from £10.50!
23 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Bo Diddley (2000) more music like this by Bo Diddley This fine but brief summation of Bo Diddley's career includes all the relevant hits ("Bo Diddley," "I'm a Man") as well as a few not-so-relevant ones ("Dearest Darling," "Say Man"). Its brevity doesn't give much opportunity to cover all of Diddley's achievements -- none of the Millennium collections really do -- but for beginners it's a good place ... see all copies from £6.05! new only from £6.05!
24 view cover	That's Rock and Roll (2001) more music like this by Various Artists That's Rock and Roll is one of many compilations that collects some of the biggest hits of the early days of rock & roll in one set. Very little can be said about this music that has not been said before, these are recognizable classics that represent some of the finest musicians of the time. Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Ricky Nelson, Little Richard, ... see all copies from £8.87! new only from £14.86!
25 view cover	The Story of Bo Diddley: The Very Best of Bo Diddley (2006) more music like this by Bo Diddley Back in the late '80s, when the CD boom was on and people were busy feeding their new machines like the discs would disappear, MCA Records lavished some attention on the Bo Diddley catalog, putting out a few reissues of his earliest albums, a couple of hits compilations, and one flawed if well-intended box set -- and that was it. Across the nearly ... see all copies from £12.79! new only from £16.31!
