My favorite list: 1 Deep Purple: Shades 1968-1998 2 Deep Purple: Listen Learn Read On 3 Eric Clapton: Crossroads 4 Judas Priest: Metalogy 5 Santana: Dance of the rainbow serpent Worst boxes - both content and price: Pink Floyd album-boxes!
I would only have had the bigger Amp edition of the AC/DC but I found the smaller one for $20 so I added it to the collection. I like how it is edited better than the bigger box that has all the bonus material.
I’m working on one to that effect and will probably be done as part of Best Of The Box. But I might also do a Top 10 if I get inspired while compiling all the collections. Thanks for the request.
I’ve always been really grateful for my collection but the more I do these types of videos the more I realize I’m also very lucky to have built up such a substantial collection. 32 years and counting…
The single disc called 18 Tracks has 15 from the boxset and 3 not included in the box and only available on the CD. It’s a great career overview that is like an alternate Greatest Hits.
Wow! Very nice ones, Brendon! That Neil Young one is a thing of beauty. I would love to get that for my older brother. A favorite one of mine is New Order Retro (four CDs plus very nice booklet) with a slim and white clean design. A square chunky one with two CDs and a DVD that I love is Yaz In My Room. With films, I go for big sets. Criterion Blu-Ray Godzilla The Showa Era Films 1954-1975 and Battlestar Gallactica The Definitive Collection come to mind. Rock on! Always great content! - Heather
Wow just when I think I couldn’t be more in awe of your collection. Over 200 box sets??? Is there a box set in or out of print you would like to add to it?
My five favorites (no particular order): Iron Maiden: Eddie's Archives Motorhead: Stone Deaf Forever Neil Young: Archives Vol. 1 1963-1972 Hitsville USA: The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971 Cheap Trick: Sex America Cheap Trick
My oh my!! Brendon, dude you never cease to amaze me what you come up with next. This was really cool look inside your collection yet again. I have the Bon Jovi boxset. I also own all 3 Genesis boxes & Achieves 1 and 2 ( I know surprise!!! Lol) Eric Clapton Crossroads is also a favorite boxset of mine. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Playback is one of my favorite boxsets. 6 CDs. But I bet you have that one. Anyway that’s enough of my commentary for today. Can’t wait maybe you’ll do another Boxset Video like this.
Hi Bill, glad you enjoyed this new video. If I continue to get positive feedback on it I’ll do more. I certainly have plenty of boxsets to choose from. 😂
Hi Brendon you had me at hello.....box sets not a fan of bon giovi but as far as the boss yes that is a favorite of mine too wow would have loved to get the Tom petty that is awesome yep the Neil Young is awesome cool ac DC boxes thanks for the great show and tell
Hi Tino, glad this video got you excited! Artists like Springsteen and Petty have always done their boxsets and deluxe editions right. When I see they are releasing something, I don’t have to worry and know it will be good from content to packaging. Same with Neil.
I’ll tell you the next boxset I’m gonna get. The Tony Martin Era “Anno DOMINI’ 4CD Black Sabbath set. Really looking forward to that, especially since I haven’t explored very much of Martin era Led Sabbath, so I couldn’t be happier getting that one. Anyhow. Love when you go through your boxsets. You’ve got one of the greatest collections I’ve ever seen. As you know, I’ve been following your channel since the very beginning, so I know quite well just how deep your collection goes…for now. 😉
I’ve had the Tom Petty Live Anthology longer so it holds a special place in my heart. But I do love the Wildflowers And All The Rest boxset too. Honestly I have so many more that could have been selected.
My 5 favorite boxsets: 1) The Beatles in mono; 2) Bruce Springsteen The Promise: The Darkness on the Edge of Town Story; 3) Neil Young Archives vol. ll; 4) Prince Sign ‘o’ the times; 5) The Verve Urban Hymns. Backtracks is easily my favorite package/box (i was lucky to buy it new for 70$). Cheers!!!
Cool stuff Brendon!! and owning more than 200 boxsets i guess you having everything needed and that's available on the market!! Amazing ACDC boxset, i only Bonfire it's near perfect if they added another cd of rare stuff instead of another copy of Back in Black. cheers and be well
I also have AC/DC's Backtracks and, like you, I bought both versions. I also have the Best Buy version of the Tom Petty Live Anthology Box. I think I got it for $29.99 or something like that when Best Buy had a nationwide sale on it, I guess trying to get rid of inventory. Anyway, I own a lot of box sets too, like you (maybe not 200 of them, though.) Anyway, here are 6 of my favorites off the top of my head (I couldn't limit it to just 5. LOL): 1. The Complete Elvis Presley Masters (2010 30-CD limited numbered first run edition) - If my house ever caught fire, this is the one item that I am carrying out of the house. 2. Prince - Sign O' The Times (2020 8-CD, 1-DVD Super Deluxe Edition) 3. The Who - The Who Sell Out (2021 5-CD, 2 7" vinyl singles, Super Deluxe Edition) 4. U2 - Achtung Baby (2011 6-CD, 4-DVD, 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition) 5. The Doors - Infinite {2013 Analogue Productions Hybrid SACD limited Box Set) - Contains the 6 Morrison-fronted albums remastered. 6. Elvis Presley - A Boy From Tupelo (The Complete 1953-55 Recordings) (2012 FTD Records 3-CD Limited Edition) - Note: I also own the RCA Legacy edition that was released 5 years later without the big hardbound book and case. That one comes in the typical cheaper packaging that RCA/Legacy has been releasing their Elvis stuff in lately to the masses. Musically, both versions are almost identical. A couple spoken word/interview tracks are removed from the FTD version in lieu of a long-lost recording of a song Elvis recorded that was found after the FTD version was released. I could easily add many more from Elvis Presley, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath/Heaven & Hell, Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Overkill, Metallica, Megadeth, AC/DC, Rush, Kiss, Pink Floyd, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, James Taylor, Def Leppard, Queen, Aerosmith, Bruce Springsteen, Heart, The Police, U2, The Cars, Cheap Trick, David Bowie, Bad Company, Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, Billy Joel, INXS, Ratt and so on. Of the 6 I did list above, The Complete Elvis Presley Masters is my all-time favorite box set. But for an archival release revolving around just a single album/era that contains the said album, outtakes, demos, singles, live versions, etc., I would have to say it is a toss-up between Prince's Sign O' The Times and The Who Sell Out. I still can't decide which of those two is my favorite. U2's Achtung Baby box set isn't far behind. I didn't include singles collections box sets, but if I had, here are four of my favorite singles collections Box sets: The Who - Maximum As & Bs: The Complete Singles (2017 5-CD) Dio - The Singles Box Set (1983-1993) (2012 14-CD, 1-DVD) Judas Priest - Single Cuts: The Complete UK CBS-Columbia Singles Collection (2011 20-CD Limited Numbered Edition) Kiss - The Casablanca Singles (1974-1982) (2012 29-CD Limited Edition Box Set)
Time if flying along, cannot believe that the Bon Jovi box set was released in 2004. I have not listened to it for so long - probably 10 years. Have to dig it out. Thanks Brendon.
Metallica- Live Shit: Binge & Purge Iced Earth- Dark Genesis Metallica- S&M 2 Judas Priest- Metalogy Aerosmith- Pandora’s Box There are a lot of better sets, but I limited it to only what I personally own.
The Bon Jovi box set was incredible, and in my opinion there was 2-3 good albums worth of material on it! I'm going to give a shout out to the KISS box set...alot of stuff I didn't need, but some tracks really are really worth having, especially Its My Life... also love the book that came with it
I agree! It’s amazing what some bands have in the vaults just sitting there. They could have released albums more regularly like every year if they had wanted.
I don't think there is a better box set than bon jovi ...I did buy the 2 led zepplinn ones to get all their songs and motley crue music to crash your car by to get the original lethur disc of too fast for love
I bought The Crue boxset too for the same reason. I keep hoping they will release that version as a stand alone edition. Thought they might do it for their 40th anniversary. What better way to celebrate than with their first release. They also should have repressed their first 45 single for Toast Of The Town. A missed opportunity for the band. Maybe BMG who just bought the rights to their whole catalogue for $150 million will do a better job than the band has been doing.
My favorite list:
1 Deep Purple: Shades 1968-1998
2 Deep Purple: Listen Learn Read On
3 Eric Clapton: Crossroads
4 Judas Priest: Metalogy
5 Santana: Dance of the rainbow serpent
Worst boxes - both content and price:
Pink Floyd album-boxes!
Deep Purple is a really good box that I’ve worn out playing it so much. But it’s now 33 years old…I’d love an updated 50th anniversary box.
very nice Brendon.I only got the smaller versions of AC/DC and Neil Young
I would only have had the bigger Amp edition of the AC/DC but I found the smaller one for $20 so I added it to the collection. I like how it is edited better than the bigger box that has all the bonus material.
@@BrendonSnyder i get crazy like that too.i have the 4cd live Petty plus the big box lol
I was thinking the other day that it would be cool if you did an episode on your favorite Best Of/Greatest Hits albums.
I’m working on one to that effect and will probably be done as part of Best Of The Box. But I might also do a Top 10 if I get inspired while compiling all the collections. Thanks for the request.
These are incredible. Fantastic things to own, I wish I could afford this kind of physical format material 😎🤘
I’ve always been really grateful for my collection but the more I do these types of videos the more I realize I’m also very lucky to have built up such a substantial collection. 32 years and counting…
Nice video. People need the Springteen single Tracks set as a handful of songs on that are not on the large set.
The single disc called 18 Tracks has 15 from the boxset and 3 not included in the box and only available on the CD. It’s a great career overview that is like an alternate Greatest Hits.
Wow! Very nice ones, Brendon! That Neil Young one is a thing of beauty. I would love to get that for my older brother.

Rock on! Always great content! - Heather
I’ve been getting more and more into New Order so I will have to keep and eye out for that boxset!
Thanks Brendon I enjoy all your videos and I just ordered both the Bon Jovi and Ac/Dc box sets from Amazon lucky me they only had 1 in stock on both
Good deal! Glad you got them!
Wow just when I think I couldn’t be more in awe of your collection. Over 200 box sets??? Is there a box set in or out of print you would like to add to it?
None that I can think of. But as I come across boxsets that appeal to me I pick them up so I’m always browsing…
My five favorites (no particular order):
Iron Maiden: Eddie's Archives
Motorhead: Stone Deaf Forever
Neil Young: Archives Vol. 1 1963-1972
Hitsville USA: The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971
Cheap Trick: Sex America Cheap Trick
Eddie’s Archives is a really good one too!

Great list, I was a little surprised you went with Petty Live over 'Wildflowers and all the rest'.
NY Vol 2 is a masterpiece!

I also really like Springsteen’s boxset for The River.
Cool stuff Brendon!! and owning more than 200 boxsets i guess you having everything needed and that's available on the market!! Amazing ACDC boxset, i only Bonfire it's near perfect if they added another cd of rare stuff instead of another copy of Back in Black. cheers and be well
I learned long ago there is always something else to be found and enjoyed…
Mr young barn on the tenth would love that boxset of him
I’m waiting for Neil Young’s new album Barn before I compile my year end Top 20 albums for 2021.
@@BrendonSnyder I've got it ordered supposed to have some rockers on it and some mellow to
I kind of want that AC/DC Backtracks box set (deluxe edition) because of the Circus Krone show, but it's so hard to find!
The deluxe edition is very cool for the packaging and extra material, but it’s a lot just for one show. It’s available in full to watch on TH-cam.
@@BrendonSnyder Yes, I will check out that review of yours.

Yes! Love it!

What's your take on the early Bon Jovi albums pre-SWW? Gotta say I favour those the most. I lost interest soon after.
I did a Bon Jovi Album Ranking with a breakdown on my opinion of each album, see link if you’re interested th-cam.com/video/KUHP4IdZ26k/w-d-xo.html
Time if flying along, cannot believe that the Bon Jovi box set was released in 2004. I have not listened to it for so long - probably 10 years. Have to dig it out. Thanks Brendon.
It’s such a good one. I don’t go back often to the actual box but I pull out the sampler all the time.
A lot of Nitty Gritty contained in those box sets!
👍
My favorite is AC/DC backtracks
👍
Metallica- Live Shit: Binge & Purge
Iced Earth- Dark Genesis
Metallica- S&M 2
Judas Priest- Metalogy
Aerosmith- Pandora’s Box
There are a lot of better sets, but I limited it to only what I personally own.
Those are still great boxsets! You can’t beat the Metallica Live box! I had the original of that with the big box and VHS tapes.
The Bon Jovi box set was incredible, and in my opinion there was 2-3 good albums worth of material on it! I'm going to give a shout out to the KISS box set...alot of stuff I didn't need, but some tracks really are really worth having, especially Its My Life... also love the book that came with it
I agree! It’s amazing what some bands have in the vaults just sitting there. They could have released albums more regularly like every year if they had wanted.
I just love the Bon Jovi boxset, l've listen to it alot since buying it on releaseday! This is how boxset should be, all non album tracks!
Do you have any Elvis albums in your collection?
I have a Christmas album of his.
I don't think there is a better box set than bon jovi ...I did buy the 2 led zepplinn ones to get all their songs and motley crue music to crash your car by to get the original lethur disc of too fast for love
I bought The Crue boxset too for the same reason. I keep hoping they will release that version as a stand alone edition. Thought they might do it for their 40th anniversary. What better way to celebrate than with their first release. They also should have repressed their first 45 single for Toast Of The Town. A missed opportunity for the band.
