MEDLEYS in ROCK

VA - Who Meddled with My Song (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1 Rock, CD2 Soul & CD3 Megamixes
In music, a medley is a piece composed from parts of existing pieces, usually two or three, played one after another, sometimes overlapping. They are common in popular music, and many medleys are songs rather than instrumentals. A medley which is a remixed series is called a megamix, often done with tracks for a single artist, or for popular songs from a given year or genre. A cover version combining elements of multiple pre-existing songs is a cover medley. A medley is the most common form of overture for musical theater productions.
Many of these medleys have reached the US Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and are included here together with a bunch of tracks that exist on albums. Some are covers bust the majority are by original artists. The third CD is a Megamix bonanza (some may be your guilty pleasure). A megamix is a remix containing multiple songs in rapid succession. To unify the songs together smoothly, a single backing beat may be added as background throughout the megamix, although this is not a must. This backing beat is kept basic so as to simplify mixing and to not compete with the music. These mixes are usually several minutes long at minimum, going up to a half-hour or even more sometimes.
Include here for your listening pleasure are 52 Rock and Soul Medleys with a further 24 megamixes. Enjoy.

A toast to meddled butter!
ReplyDeleteHope you like it, rostasi.
DeleteCheers.
Thanks BB. It amazes me how you come up with these themes. Please continue....
ReplyDeleteThere is always a theme, lemonflag.
DeleteOver the years there are many that come to mind but never get finished due to lack of content.
These ones I post made the grade. I hope you like this set.
Cheers
You can do a hard rock version of this called "Who Metalled With My Song". :D ok, ill go now.....
ReplyDeleteHi Rikker Mortis.
DeleteNow that's a thought.
Cheers
I'd love to see one devoted to cover medleys, like Shalamar "Uptown Festival" and Tight Fit "Back To The 60's" and of course the ones you already posted like Stars on 45 and Jive Bunny. Some of those are so good. Not sure if you would put the "Hooked On..." series in there by Louis Clark and the Philharmonic, but it seems like it. One of my favorite Medleys not here is Barry Manilow's "VSM (Very Strange Medley)" which is cool because it's all the commercial jingles he wrote at the time. Gidea Park had a good Beach Boys medley and Selena did a nice disco medley. This one is Lots of Fun!
ReplyDeleteI would be remiss to not mention the Tubes "Crime Medley" especially since you have such an amazing Crime Jazz compilation right after this one
DeleteCover medleys is a great idea, Pol.
DeleteMaybe you can pull one together for the My Compilation series. I don't have the ones you mention.
Cheers
