A lot of good ones. Thanks!

I'm waiting for a sale on The Replacements /Paul Westerberg...one day, maybe. Or piece by piece with free codes.

This is due to the new Apple apps no doubt. Thanks, OP!

It's time to use my Pepsi code.

Some good stuff there, owned most of what I liked here but I got the script (listening now, definitely worth 3 bucks)

N-Sync. Epic.

Do people still listen to them?

In any case, I see 3 great ones:

Boston by Boston
At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Dirty Dancing by Dirty Dancing (Motion Picture Soundtrack)

TY. My kids will be thrilled.

Thumbs up for MJ's Thriller.

Explain?

Share?

Thank you OP, getting a few of these. Highly recommend the Fiona Apple and Nas albums if anyone doesn't have those.

Yes, although it's now called one direction :vomit:

Paul Simon Graceland strongly recommended. One of the best albums of the 80s.

Oh I thought it was more like an Apple App that would hurt Amazon so they cut prices. :rolleyes:

WHAT A STEAL OF A DEAL!

http://www.amazon.com/Save-The-Wo...7&sr=1-106

Because some people don't understand sarcasm, I'm currently writing this.

The two Christmas albums by The Mormon Tabernacle Choir are fantastic!

Thats what I thought.

From what I read, it's a mobile website that Apple IOS users can access through Safari. Since the new website is NOT an app, Amazon bypasses the 30% fee that Apple charges app developers for in-app purchases. Looks like Amazon is passing on the savings to consumers -- for now at least.

Here's an article on the new site [techcrunch.com].

Troll.
2 songs $1 each.
Album costs $3.

any to share? :D

The Clash's London Calling is a must for those who don't have it. Rolling Stone listed it as the greatest album of the 80's...

Wu-Tang! Wu-Tang!

Lauryn Hill's album, while getting on in years, is still fantastic. Really excited that there is some good selection in here and Amazon is at least temporarily going back to the pricing that made me spend so much money there when they had good daily mp3 deals.

Also, #8 on the list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time [rollingstone.com].

A lot of these "albums" are just "albums" of one or two versions of a single.

Is anybody mining actual cd's these days for deals there?

With the new autorip feature, I'm really much more interested in that.

I'm not sure if you are purposefully not understanding the sarcasm in that statement or not.

got london calling by the clash..great album

My Skypager just alerted me to this deal on the Low End Theory. TRIIIIIBE!

That's because the OP linked to a search for $2.99 downloads which has albums, EPs, and singles. I believe the OP's list covers what is on sale.

Now they are called Drive Shaft

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuQba4inleQ

The Alice in Chains album is a steal for $3 if you even remotely like them. Hands down their best album IMHO. (of course, it's all their hits...and it's a live acoustic session, one of the last appearances before Layne Staley passed away)

I think I'll just buy Bruce Springsteen Greatest Hits for 3.99 instead of buying the 2 other albums for 2.99 each.

Lots of great albums on the list for sure.

Some good old school Rap & Hip-Hop albums. Too bad I already have a CD of it from years ago. But still good stuff. Some whack stuff too though but that is to be expected.

Sam Cooke Greatest Hits [amazon.com]

You Sir, or Madam, as the case may be, have excellent taste!

If you got more to give...Im here! thanks

Yea, I'm debating buying Fugees - The Score now. I already have it on my computer but not on Amazon.

Nas - Illmatic is a must have and possibly the greatest hip-hop album of all-time. I have it on my computer but not on Amazon. I'll probably pass on that.

The Score brings back a lot of memories for me. Amazing album.

Those are the 2 best hip-hop albums on the list IMO

thanks

good way to burn all those $5 amazon mp3 credits

It's $1.29.

There are some very good albums on sale for $3.99 as well. Some that I found pretty quickly (not a comprehensive list):

Muse: The 2nd Law
The Lumineers: The Lumineers
The Black Keys: El Camino
fun.: Some Nights
deadmau5: <album title goes here>

I'm sure there are others, but alt-tabbing and copying/pasting is a pain from the iPad. Cheers!

Edit: here's a link to a list of $3.99s: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr...99&x=9&y=9

Thanks! Just watched Color Me Obsessed and Come Hear Me Tremble...and too lazy to dig out my CDs. (and too cheap to buy without a discount)

Well you wish upon a star, that turns into a plane
And I guess that's right on par, Who's left to blame?

If you were a pill, I'd take a handful at my will
And I'd knock you back with something sweet and strong
Plenty of times you wake up in February make-up
Like a fool and the morning star you're gone

wutang, nas, and michael jackson. don't judge me.

any good $1.99 albums?

If you like classical: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr...&x=10&y=12

I can't find the search filters for mp3 downloads

can someone link to a filter for .69 songs sorted by bestselling,, will rep . I had this bookmarked and cant find the filter options

Wu-Tang's music is tasteless and scummy. They give me a headache when I listen to them. I used to listen to them a lot (when I was young in the 90's) but realized when I grew up how poor their style and lyrics were. A lot of them were better as solo artists than as a group.

Not a big fan of the "Harcore" rap style used by Wu-Tang Clan, Notorious BIG, DMX, etc. The music is tasteless, too violent, and just stupid to say the least.

Nas is a great choice and he actually puts real meaning into his lyrics. "You're Da Man", "You Gave Me Power". "Memory Lane" are some of my favorites. That is real music with meaningful and complex lyrics from an intellectual rapper.

If you've never listened to the album "The Score" by The Fugees then I'd recommend checking it out. Preview "Cowboys", "Family Business", "Fu-Gee-La", "Ready Or Not".. Highly recommended by me.

I wouldn't pollute your head with that Wu-Tang garbage, even though there are some semi-listenable tracks on 36 chambers.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=s9_hp...2616901011

Celine Dion - My Love Essential Collection
http://www.amazon.com/My-Love-Ess...73&sr=1-49

The Roots - Things Fall Apart
http://www.amazon.com/Things-Fall...73&sr=1-66

Terrific albums. Considering purchasing. Not too happy about Celine Dion not coming with "Because You Loved Me" though.

Hmmm...

Jeff Buckley's Grace album...get it. Taken from us way too soon. RIP.

thanks and repped...


now I feel old... having to ask people for help with the tubes

Liszt: Les Preludes/ Mazeppa/ Hungarian Rhapsody March - $3.99 (Recommended)
http://www.amazon.com/Liszt-Prelu...9&sr=1-294

The Paul Simon Collection - $3.99
http://www.amazon.com/The-Paul-Si...24&sr=1-77

Public Enemy - It Takes a Naiton of Millions To Hold Us Back - $3.99
http://www.amazon.com/Takes-Natio...24&sr=1-82

awesome, picked up Alice in chains and Cake

Miles' Kind of Blue is one of his best album (along with Miles Ahead, Ascenseur pour l'échafaud soundtrack etc.), but I would recommend buying at full CD quality. 3 bucks is a great deal for the album either way though.

When I listen to the 2nd Miles Davis sample, I find myself bobbing my head like Bill Cosby. :)

That CD hasn't left my car's CD changer since I bought it 15 years ago.

God I listen to music for free on the internet, but it would be nice to own some of these... Maybe force them to start a trend instead of these stupid over priced $10 and up mp3 downloads.

Oh forgot to mention repped :-D, its a good find even if i don't get any.

Grace - Jeff Buckley

That's some really long running time on those tunes. I only wish Man in a Box was on it.
Still, I can't pass this up.

Man! A few months ago, I had to pay $7 for MJ's Thriller album.

just in case if ya interested....Mariah Carey $3.99
http://www.amazon.com/Greatest-Hi...dmusic_a_2

Thanks to the sensitivity of my apple track pad and the amazon one click setting, I accidentally purchased Temper Trap. Luckily, I have liked the two songs I have previously heard, but I don't know if I would have actually bought this one. Going to give it a listen now.

You can chat Amazon and tell them you bought it by mistake.

thanks - I will try that.

Yes I got that last week. Pretty cool.

Couldn't resist.

Picked up
A Tribe Called Quest "The Low End Theory"
Bruce Springsteen "Born In The USA"
Eddie Vedder "Into The Wild" soundtrack

And even though it's not $2.99 I grabbed Stone Sour "House of Gold And Bones Part 1" for a very reasonable $5.99.

What does this Pepsi code do? I drink lots of Pepsi products and am not aware of any deals with Amazon.

Trend has already begun. In the last year, I've spent quite a bit on full albums during these Amazon mp3 sales. Most of the rest of the industry is attempting to keep up. It generates money for the artists and I get music at a reasonable price. I get the feeling lots of people are purchasing at these price points, so this is good for all involved.

It turns out that the "Refer a Friend and get $10" thing on Amazon is just a $10 MP3 credit? Seriously?

Well, I guess I'll look for another album to download. I'll probably buy the Roots.

It's dead now, but here's the thread about it.

ELO. All over the world. Ghits. 20 songs. $3.99

The list of albums suck. 99% of them are complete unknowns.

got low end theory by a tribe called quest used my promotion from buying a book

I suggest you take a look at the wiki if you haven't. If 99% of those artists are unknown to you then you are completely out of touch with popular culture.

Agh, I just bought I think 12-14 albums.... :eek: .

While I love the old school albums on sale, I have to say this since it hasn't been mentioned yet. The Garden State soundtrack is fan-effing-tastic. Citizen Cope is also unique and a wonderful artist. Give them a sample and pick them up at this great price!

Hello, they call me crackjerack. I shit in my own mouth so when I talk, poo comes out.

That way when people say I poop on everything that's good, it's true!

I own over 200 albums of all genres and I would put that in my top 5. Just a fantastic cd especially knowing that Layne was almost gone.

Starting to love these amazon deals

Hmm..I have Alice in Chains Facelift and Live...I think I need Unplugged!

Assuming you're just browsing through the Amazon pages of albums rather than the Wiki, then yes, those are all the normally-priced $2.99 "albums," most of which are singles or EPs from unknown artists or various artists. However, if you use the Wiki there are a lot of good albums in there among the wreckage.

Just wish Amazon was easier to search through effectively.

Picked up a couple albums. Thanks.

I got Carrie Underwood "Play On". Thanks!

Michael Jackson - Thriller MP3 Album $2.99 Amazon
 

When Michael Jackson died, we sold copies of this disc at CD Resale shop I worked for at $7.99. I am not sure how much they cost new then, but people could not get enough of the King of Pop.

awesome :)

wow, the CD is really cheap as well.

Great. TU and Rep.

Swell guy, what ever happened to him?

his doctor drugged him to death.

It was posted here, along with many others.

http://slickdeals.net/f/5805092-H...-at-Amazon

Justin Bieber more of your type of music?

not enough free credit to purchase this :( i'll wait for next free credit promotion

Too bad he died.....just like a real rock star!
 

I have to laugh...it's definitely an inside joke! Thanks for the giggles!!!:woot:

Really?

You must be living under a rock if you've never heard of Kelly Clarkson, Franz Ferdinand, John Mayer, Three Days Grace, Fiona Apple, etc etc etc etc. Considering there are only 73 albums available--by your reckoning--there's only one artist/album (at most) on the list that's not an unknown. Tend to exaggerate much?

Grabbed some, thanks.

Does anyone not realize that the guy was wading through the pages of ALL $2.99 Amazon "albums" and not recognizing anything? You wouldn't recognize anything in there, either.

Too bad he died.....just like a real rock star!

Michael Jackson - Thriller (MP3 album) - $2.99
 

Yes! MJ never goes on sale, thanks so much for posting!

bought. Thx op

For no Mere mortal can resist the evil of the Thriller!

This is a repost, one of a number of albums that have been previously posted as on sale here:

http://slickdeals.net/f/5805092-H...-at-Amazon

Also there are a bunch of Greatest Hits albums on sale for slightly more if this sort of thing interests you.

http://slickdeals.net/f/5805562-3...MP3-Albums

A favorite among kids.

Anyone know when this offer ends? Guessing maybe Jan 31st. Picked up a couple already but wonder how long this will run.

Thanks for posting, good prices! However I put down my Zeppelin, Michael Jackson, U2, Stones, and Hendrix albums to download and give a few newer artists a chance... I tried Daughtry, David Cook, John Mayer, Carrie Underwood, Train, Mat Kearny and Justin.. What the heck’s happened to popular music???

alice in chaines unplugged and MGMT are two great album buys.

Looking at this list, the only ones that popped out to me were MGMT and Modest Mouse.

So how does this work again? I actually get the download to my device or is this one of those deasl where it stays in some cloud server somewhere? Thanks

You can do both. It automatically uploads to your cloud account, but you can also download it to any device.

You download the mp3 with no restrictions or drm. It is also available from the cloud player.

I LOVE Amazon MP3. Definitley 100 times better than iTunes.

Thanks!

PS If you like country or rock, I can't recommend Eric Church's "Carolina" album enough... for only $2.99, it's a no-brainer! If you don't believe me, check out the (very favorable) reviews!

http://www.amazon.com/Carolina-di...243&sr=1-9

There are a lot of good albums in the $2.99 list :thumbup:

True.

Michael Jackson's "Thriller", Pearl Jam's "Ten", RATM's "Battle of Los Angeles", Incubus, Audioslave, Alice in Chains, etc. And that's just from the first 3-4 pages. Lots of good stuff here.

Thanks why do some of them come with the digital booklet and not others? pet peeve of mine

Great deal if I didn't already have all the albums on the list worth getting.

Probably rights.

The musical artist can OK the sale of their songs in MP3 format, but they may not have obtained permission from the album art designer to package their art in with the MP3s in a digital format. Often the designer can dictate in exactly what medium and format their art can be used.

Thanks, El Camino is not on Spotify, so I bought that with a credit I had.

Meh. I can beat that.

Amazon has 1,279 $1.99 albums
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_pg...1360684145

Incubus - Make Yourself [goo.gl]

One of my lifetime favorite albums. It never gets old.

I was going to say, isn't this a repost?

At least the ones that look the most popular look the same.

If OP had actually highlighted new ones on sale, then I'd think there'd be a valid reason for this post....

Yup, definitely a repost!

I posted a thread a few nights ago with some of the more notable *new* $2.99 albums - ones that weren't originally included in the big $2.99 thread from before.

Here's my partial list from that thread (http://slickdeals.net/f/5847164-N...-many-more)

ugh.... careful, some of them are EPs or singles!!!
bought a couple EDM albums that I didnt realize were just a couple remixes of the same song....

Amazon $2.99 MP3 Album Sale

:shake:

Always read the track listing; it's always available..

Repost , there's another thread with this same deal

There are just a few scattered mp3 albums mentioned in that post. This is the complete sale with almost 100 albums that don't match.

Take that itunes...

your right my bad

Thanks OP!

Guitar work on Down in a Hole is amazing. I don't know why but the plucking right after singing "down in a hole" in the chorus gets me every time.

Hundreds of $2.99 mp3 Albums on Amazon.com
 

Linky [amazon.com]

Narrow down categories/genres by clicking on the left hand side after following the link.

Seems like the price of MP3's are going down but I got this info via email so it could be old news.

* Hundreds may be $2.99 but mp3's actually worthy of purchase is a little less :) .

Looks like the same albums that were listed here is this post last month. I think Muse might be new but there was a separate SD post already for that.

Alt J, Django Django, The Clash, Group Love, Japandroids --- some really good albums for three bucks.

Seems like there is never any good metal in these deals.

There's such a thing as good metal? :-)
