Yes hit their peak with Close to the Edge
album in 1973. Their live album YesSongs is primarily from
that tour and includes live renditions of that whole album. In
addition, it has most of the essential tracks from their other
two classic albums, The Yes Album, and Fragile.
While the version of the songs on Yessongs
are similar in structure to their studio counterparts, these
versions are buzzing with energy and are worth repeating if
you have the studio versions. Speaking of studio version
of Yes material, they began re- issuing their catalog in
re-mastered format with bonus tracks. This music is so good
that having both the studio and early live versions will give
one many satisfying listening experiences.

Back before CD box sets tracing an artists
career became trendy, Neil Young had an outstanding release in
the same manner entitled Decade. Previously, a three album set, re-issued on
two discs. While certainly not a comprehensive look at Young's
career, it serves as a strong foundation of a collection of
his first decade (his best). It includes some Buffalo Springfield and CSN&Y
material, as well as music from his solo albums.
His two albums with Crosby Stills Nash and
Young, Deja
Vu and Four Way Street
are classics.

Frank Zappa has a diverse mixture of music
to his credit. We have heard a good amount of it. Truly the
man is a musical genius. Though, with such a wide range of
different material, I found myself sifting through too much I
don't like to find the invaluable treasures.
We'll eventually add more Zappa content.
Till then, we'd like to suggest an under rated album.
Excluding the material that is instrumental like Shut and
Play Your Guitar and Guitar, one of Zappa's
strongest guitar albums, within the context of songs, is Zoot
Allures. Zappa's rather expensive vault series'
first edition entitled OZ,
recorded 1/20/76 is worth seeking, especially if Amazon has a
reasonably priced used copy.

ZZ
Top is an excellent band. We tend to think of them as two
distinct bands; the pre-MTV and the post-MTV periods. We
prefer their early material where they are an excellent trio
that focused on a no frills approach of blues inspired music. If you are
only familiar with their latter day radio
hits, you're missing their best material.
Finally starting in 2003 some of ZZ Top's
early material was re-issued with good mixes. This begin with
their box-set,
