After billing just north of 17 hours today, I didn't have time to search Amazon for the links or discuss the finer points of the ESPN Jock series. Deal with it. At least in less than 10 hours I will be watching The Fratellis kick off Lollapalooza.
497. Burning London: The Clash Tribute (last listen: never) - I got this free at some point my senior year at IU, but I've never listened to it. The originals are much better, although the highlights include Rancid's version of "Cheat" and Third Rye Blind's version of "Train in Vain."
498. The Compilation Vol. 2 (3DMas and AliveOne) (last listen: never) - I got this CD free at AliveOne (bar at Halsted & Schubert). It's a compilation of lesser-known bands, some of which you may know, including The Redwalls, Umphrey's McGee, Disco Biscuits, and Nada Surf.
499. Greatest Disco Groups (last listen: 5+ years) - There's nothing quite as humbling as when a co-worker walks into your office when "It's Raining Men" is playing.
500. Disco Mania (last listen: 5+ years) - But I'll be damned if "Shake Your Booty" doesn't command respect.
501. Do You Remember - Vol. 4 (last listen: 5+ years) - A good collection of late '50s pop, including "Donna" by Ritchie Valens, which is a great song. "Good Golly Miss Molly" by Little Richard is always a good listen. The CD also features Roy Orbison, Ricky Nelson, and Paul Anka, among others.
502. Do You Remember - Vol. 6 (last listen: 5+ years) - This is a nice compilation of early '60s soul, including songs by The Drifters, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, and Ben E. King.
503. The Doo Wop Box Disc 1 (The Birth of Doo Wop (1948-1955)) (last listen: 2-5 years) - I'm a big doo wop fan, and this box set contains just about every doo wop song you could ask for. "Earth Angel" by The Penguins is my favorite song off this CD.
504. The Doo Wop Box Disc 2 (The Rock 'N' Roll Explosion (1955-1957) (last listen: 3 months to 1 year) - "In the Still of the Nite" by The Five Satins is a good song.
505. The Doo Wop Box Disc 3 (Doo Wop's Golden Age (1957-1959) (last listen: 3 months to 1 year) - This is my favorite CD in the box set. My favorites off this one are "Maybe" by The Chantels, "I Wonder Why" by Dion and The Belmonts, and "For Your Precious Love" by Jerry Butler and The Impressions.
504. The Doo Wop Box Disc 4 (The Doo Wop Revival (1959-1987)) (last listen: 2-5 years) - Good ones off this one are Randy and The Rainbows' "Denise" (IU History of Rock and Roll Professor Glenn Gass's favorite song, or at least one of them) and "Stay" by Maurice Williams and The Zodiacs.
505. The '80s Pop Explosion (last listen: 5+ years)
506. Garage Band Rock (last listen: 2-5 years) - A short but sweet collection of garage band classics.
507. All the Best from the German Beer Garden (last listen: 1-2 years)
508. Greatest Hits of the '80s - The Decade of Excess (last listen: 2-5 years)
509. Guitar Rock: The Heavy '80s (last listen: 1-2 years) - Awesome
510. Hard Rock Essentials: The '60s (last listen: 2-5 years)
511. Jock Jams (last listen: 5+ years)
512. Jock Rock (last listen: 5+ years)

Jock jams? What would u know about being a jock?
Oh, I don't know. Maybe the words 1999 Indiana University division B soccer intramural champion mean nothing to you (or should I say "u").
