I have a list of three I consider to be really outstanding. Two because they are a bunch of great songs with killer instrumentation:

SC8146 -- Southern Fried Rock (Sound Choice)
DK3078 -- 60's (DK Karaoke)

Plus an artist disk that is awesomely done:

RSZ608 -- Steely Dan (Radio Starz)

Anyone else have an all-time fave?

I'll add SC 8472 to the list --- "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." A MUST HAVE disc... especially at this time of the year.

That's right. It's nearly time for me to break out "Sweet Transvestite."

Micky, DK3078 is pretty good, but for me it would be SC8218 w/ Gary Puckett, Buckinghams, Vogues, Rascals, Doors, Johnny Rivers, etc.

Great thread!

For the holidays I nominate Top Tunes TU-66.

If you are a Neil Diamond fan - and I am, ( oh, I'm gonna catch it for this) Backstage ( yes, the karaoke frisbee company) BS9417

For a novelty just scewin' around disc I nominate Legends LG089

For a single disc with ALL keepers and no waste I would have throw in the SC8108 oldies disc. Every track a classic.

soo many that i can't remember.. but the trooper disc by karaokemaker is darn good. also gm1002 which has doug & the slugs, spirit of the west and powder blues band. Interesting fact - Doug and the Slugs actually did the recording/instruments for the karaoke version of 'too bad' on that disc.

Blue Bayou
Bad Bad Leroy Brown


I just sang the "Brandy, You're A Fine Girl" one not long ago, but I didn't think to look at the screen.

At the risk of getting picked on I would like to mention SC8125. Not because of the controversy surrounding this product but consider the content quality of the disc itself; such as the very close musical recreations coupled with excellent vocal backgrounds. Backstage? Zoom? Not even close! Now, let the sh*t hit the fan! :lol:

Honorable mention: SC8147 – Hits of Jimmy Buffett

When i first started Classic Karaoke CK28 - was the centre of my universe. If people ommited track codes for better versions and I was in a rush. The song was probably on this disc.

1) Big Spender - Shirley Bassey
2) Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
3) Dancing Queen - Abba
4) Father And Son - Boyzone
5) Hey Jude - Beatles
6) Let Me Entertain You - Robbie Williams
7) Like A Prayer - Madonna
8 ) Mack The Knife - Bobby Darin
9) My Way - Frank Sinatra
10) Penny Arcade - Roy Orbison
11) Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond 12) Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns 'N' Roses
13) The Best - Tina Turner
14) These Boots Are Made For Walking - Nancy Sinatra
15) Wonder Of You - Elvis Presley

This was disc 332 in my collection
Legends Neil diamond was 333. All the main duets were on a custom burn disc 669 and disc 252 had Suspicious minds on it.

No argument here. It absolutely is the best, but for those who haven't heard or cannot get - the Zoom would be my next choice with BS filling a couple gaps. Get Over It from BS is pretty good.

I see at least 7 which are regularly done at shows I go to. Five of them are classics I see constantly.

Anyone remember the 4 disk set of ORIGINAL Motown recordings? I still get a TON on play out of those, and you really can't beat karaoke made from the original tracks, especially when you are talking about 1960s motown R&B.
