Time-Life Album Discography, Part 37:
Modern Rock Series

By Mike Callahan, David Edwards, and Patrice Eyries
Last update: February 17, 2008



Modern Rock was supposed to capture the "edgier" side to eighties rock. Each volume was a 2-CD set, but with only 24 total tracks. The first volume of the series was released in July, 1999, followed for some reason by Volume 5. Later CDs were also issued out of catalog-number order, perhaps adding to the edginess of the series for customers ("Did I miss something??"). There were 21 volumes in the series altogether, plus several retail spinoff CDs including a budget 3-CD box set.


The direct-mail marketing envelope promised Modern Rock would be about "Big hair, big hits, and big fun"... not to mention big savings if you act now!
