Dialing back the complexity this week, we were assigned a simple task: pick 10 favourite “various artists” compilation albums. I went with a bunch of my favourites that you have seen and heard me talk about many times. Some, you may not know as well. I’m looking forward to showing off some of my favourites. That’s tonight on the Contrarians!
My Contrarians appearances to date:
- Minimalist cover art
- Brown album covers
- Yellow album covers
- Albums with Fire and Explosions
- Spaceships! Aliens! Robots!
- This Album Cover is Hell!
- Toys & Games
- Dreaming in Stereo: Beds & Sleep on album covers
- Favourite Bands…WORST Album Covers
- They Swapped Covers!
- Great Album Covers From Bands We Despise
- Top 10 NWOBHM Covers
- It’s A Piece of Art!
Watch live and comment! Martin always tries to address the comment section.
THE CONTRARIANS – Favourite Compilations – February 12 7:00 PM EST

I liked the art show. Great stuff their. This is a good one, so many to choose from for this coming week. The are some tribute albums I love, master of metal, movie soundtracks from the 80’s have some good ones.

I had a strict rule: No soundtracks, no tributes. We’ll see if the other guys had rules!

I don’t have many comps that aren’t one of those you cut. That would make it tough for me.

I have so many… in fact I was organising my CDs this morning and I found many that I WISH I had included but didn’t. Too late now, Grant has done the heavy lifting and it’s too late to make changes! There is probably one of these that you would want to own if you don’t already.
