Here are 21 of popular music’s most spectacular gargantuan anthologies, each featuring 10 or more discs.

'The “Chirping” Crickets' isn’t just any album. It has influenced countless musicians over the decades, and its songs have been savored by millions of fans. If you’re one of them, you’re bound to love the way those tunes have been enhanced for this release.

This follow-up to the "Remember the Future" album reached No. 32 on U.S. charts and produced the group’s only U.S. chart single, “Astral Man.”

If you’re not familiar with the music of the late 1950s and early 1960s, you’ll probably have a hard time guessing which of these tunes rocketed up the charts and which never dented the Hot 100.

Not everything on these Fabulous Thunderbirds albums is fabulous, but Vaughan and Kim Wilson can be formidable singers and players, and, particularly on the early LPs, they and their bandmates delivered more than a few high-octane winners.

Among the many winners on this roller-coaster ride are soulful renditions of “Let It Be” by Aretha Franklin and “Hey, Jude” by Wilson Pickett, the latter with guitar by Duane Allman, and George Benson’s jazzified “You Never Give Me Your Money.”

Melissa Carper's 'A Very Carper Christmas' is the best Christmas album of 2025, and one of the very best so far in this century.

If you’re a Beatles fan (and who isn’t?) and don’t already own the first three compendiums, the Anthology Collection should prove irresistible.
