A-Z CDs - Day 13

108. Eric Clapton - Crossroads Disc 3 (last listen: 2-5 years) - This disc contains a couple more Derek & The Dominos songs, and then the rest is solo Clapton.
109. Eric Clapton - Crossroads Disc 4 (last listen: 2-5 years) - This one is all solo Clapton, from late '70s to late '80s (before Journeyman). It's my least favorite disc from the Crossroads box set.
110. Eric Clapton - The Cream of Clapton (last listen: 5+ years) - This is a good first Clapton album, encompassing the "highlights" of his work from Cream to the late '80s. I like it better than Timepieces (another Clapton greatest hits album).
111. The Clash - London Calling (last listen: 0-3 months)
112. The Clash - Combat Rock (last listen: 2-5 years) - I don't like it as much as London Calling, but it does have their two biggest hits, "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" and "Rock the Casbah."
113. Joe Cocker - Greatest Hits (last listen: 2-5 years) - Ever notice that nearly all of Joe Cocker's hits are covers? I'm a huge fan of his version of the Box Tops' "The Letter." Interestingly, one of the few songs on the album that he wrote or co-wrote, "Woman to Woman," was used extensively in "California Love" by Dr. Dre and 2Pac.
114. John Coltrane (Priceless Jazz series) (last listen: 2-5 years)
115. Sam Cooke - The Best of Sam Cooke (last listen: 3 months to 1 year)
116. Sam Cooke - Portrait of a Legend (last listen: 0-3 months) - If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that you can never have enough Sam Cooke. With 15 more tracks, this compilation is definitely more extensive than the "Best of" CD, adding what I would deem essential Sam Cooke songs like "Another Saturday Night" and "A Change is Gonna Come." "Bring It On Home To Me" (on both CDs) is one of my all-time favorite songs.
