The Hits/The B-Sides
: essential recording:Assignment: To write 100 words on 56 songs by the greatest artist the '80s produced. Even with single edits substituting for full-length versions in a handful of cases, The Hits/The B-Sides is a mighty testament to the man we once called Prince. (For that matter, we still do.)

The Remains of Tom Lehrer
: :This three-CD set collects many of Tom Lehrer's tunes, described by Time magazine as 'brilliant and coruscating parodies,' bringing back a bygone era when the 'liberal consensus,' as Lehrer calls them, knew who they were and could, therefore, laugh at both themselves and the well-defined enemy. Delivering clever, witty rhymes about topical subjects was Leher's strength. In 'Wernher Von Braun' [the Nazi German scientist who later worked for NASA], Lerher sings: 'I'll sing you a tale of Wernher Von Braun / A man whose allegiance is ruled by expedience / Once the rockets ...

: :That the most famous garage-rock record of all time, the Kingsmen's 'Louie Louie,' is buried on the last CD of this four-disc box is very much in keeping with the spirit of the (often) one-hit wonders that people Nuggets.

Puccini - Turandot / Sutherland · Pavarotti · Caballé · Ghiaurov · Krause · Pears · LPO · Mehta
from: Decca
: essential recording:Joan Sutherland is not usually considered a Puccini singer, and in fact she sang the role of Turandot only in the recording studio. But for that assignment she had exactly what was needed: a voice that seemed to have no upper limits and a personality that concealed vulnerability under an air of icy detachment. She also had an ideal set of colleagues, notably Luciano Pavarotti, whose 'Nessun dorma' has become practically his signature tune. --Joe McLellan

With a flick of his grease-monkey wrist, Springsteen proves--simply by issuing long-unreleased material--why he's the most consistent (read: important) composer in the pop-rock field of his generation. It's there in a dozen included B-sides ('Pink Cadillac,' 'Shut Out the Light,' 'Janey Don't You Lose Heart'). It's there in countless rabble-rousing anthems, the singer's stock in working-class ...
