In no particualr order.
SEB 179. With Toby Vale, Magika, Daniel, Queen 26, Erika and others.
SEB 023. With Mike Hammer, Dr. Money, Sandy Bee, Jilly, Big Generation, Queen Of TIMES, and others.
For the new ones SEB 223 is always in my CD player.
Almost Every song on that ones was killer. Especially HRG Attack and Sinclaire.

SEB 87 - Every single track on here is a classic and perfectly represents how untouchable a time the late 90s were for eurobeat. Even this record's more obscure tracks, such as "Riding in the Sky," "Sonic Love," and "You Set My Heart on Fire," are all utterly phenomenal.
SEB 81 - Even though I'm not a huge fan of "Far Away" and "Tonight Again" (I also think "Saturday Night" is kind of so-so), a great deal of the finest eurobeat songs of the late 1990s hailed from this compilation, and they more than make up for those weak links. Particular mention goes out to "Heartbeat," "Macho Macho Man," "Dancing into the Night," "Stop 'N Go," "Action!," "Time," and "Burning Up for You."
SEB 175 - This was the first Super Eurobeat album I owned properly, and it has aged wonderfully, to say the least. "Futureland," "Tuttifrutti Lollipop," and "Bad Bad Bad" are all still home runs, but I've also found myself absolutely adoring many of this compilation's more forgotten numbers, especially "My Universe," "Starry Sky," the remake of "Take a Look in My Heart," and "You Light My Fire." "Moo Moo Dollars" is also potentially the greatest Federico Rimonti-sung productions ever made, carrying HRG's trademark wackiness to an unprecedented level and boasting an outright groundbreaking buildup during the chorus that perfectly interludes into the synth hook.
Honorable Mentions:
SEB 103 - At one point, the 100's were my favorite decade for eurobeat. While that's far from the case nowadays, SEB 103 has really endured as one of my favorites in the series. Between "Jealousy," "Don't Break My Heart," "Dancer," "Supernight," "Mon Amour," and the late 90s Dima productions, volume 103 is easily in some of the most frequent rotation of all of my eurobeat records. Even though some tracks are a bit stronger than others, the highlights are just too massive to ignore.
SEB 185 - Like SEB 103, some tracks on here are better than others, but also like that album, the sheer strength of the highlights cause this to be one of my most played SEB compilations. "Pararappa Dance" is Kiki & Fancy at their finest, "Bomba" is memorably intense in a surprisingly original way, "My Oh My" is the quintessential marriage between bubblegum pop and eurobeat, "Funky Lady 2008" and "Para Para Night 2008" are both excellent remakes, "Take It Easy" recaptures the same lushness of "One Night in Tokyo," "The One for Me" is elegantly poignant, "Emotional Child" is a direly underrated masterpiece and easily one of Pamsy's career highlights, "Kiss Me Now" is indescribably one of the best newer female-led HRG tracks (complete with a cute Cyndi Lauper imitation at the end of the chorus), "Final Destination" is fist-pumping greatness, and "Back to 80s" is phenomenally produced in spite of its sappy chorus.
SEB 88 - Another album with almost all hits and only a few weak links. "Boom Boom Fire," "Tico Tico," "It's My Life," "Too Fast for Love," and "Don't Stand So Close" are the big winners here, but the rest is quite solid, too.
SEB 138 - "Far and Away with Love," "Can't Get You Out of My Heart," "Hey Mr. DJ," "To Be or Notta Be," "Fall in the Web of Desire," and "Dream on Dream" automatically make this a must-hear entry in the series for me, and even the rest of the songs are pretty good at the very least.

Man...this is hard, but here we go!
(No particular order)
1. 158 (What a fun decade the 150s was. Producers were really trying to take sounds from other genres and infused them into eurobeat. This was an innovative era for eurobeat. Any who...we have some of the best songs from that decade on it. Victim, Pilot is the Hero, Give Me Your Love, Dancin' Time, Bazookaaa, Stop and Go, and I Feel Fine. Almost all of the songs on this album are really just amazing!)
2. 119 (This albums lies in the PPP era where we had such excellent tracks from the big 3 labels. Awesome tracks in this album include DJ Baam, My Dream Team is Verdy, Nightmare in the City, Looking for Love, Mission to Tokyo, Night Clubbin', Harmony, Don't You Wanna Be Free, and Made for Loving You. One of the most energetic albums you can hear during the PPP era.)
3. 175 (I'm here with Infinity on this album. So many great tracks here including Go Go Where You Wanna Go Go, Bad Bad Bad, Rain, Rock Me, Strutting Lollipop, Stop the Time Tonight, and others. We must also recognize this as the beginning of GGM on SEB. I don't think there is one track on here that is not superb!!!)

Re: Top 3 SEBs
Oh, such a thread again....
Why do you made my decisions always so hard?
Just 3 SEBs...., hmm.
Well, I think, I choose these ones:
SEB Vol. 34
SEB Vol. 184
SEB Vol. 51
Why?
The answer is easy: Because on these Volumes I have the most favorites.
In many SEB-Volumes I have mostly just one favorite-song. But in these 3 I have at least 2 or even 3 favorites. It's really worth buying these, if there are enough songs on it, that are really good.
But actually I like so many SEB-Volumes. Why you always doing this to meeeee?

Re: Top 3 SEBs
Ah.. it is quite difficult to pick three...
I'll go with the approach of Top 3 and then some honourable mentions haha
SEB Vol. 195
This is one of the first volumes I bought from CDJapan and it was mainly for 'Save Another Day For Me' by De Leo. However all the songs on that CD are just outstanding! It really brings out all the label's power with the roster of songs we got on this album.
SEB Vol. 101
Turn of the century, another selection of amazing songs ranging from 'Speedway' to '1.000$', This era is my favourite style of songs, a lot of variety, whether it be aishu or power.
SEB Vol. 65
One of the turning points in the speed of eurobeat, Delta joins the volume before, but I vibe with more of the songs on this compilation. 'Kiss To Kiss' is probably my favourite from here (go figure), along with tracks like 'Taxi Driver' and 'Jealousy Kills'.
Honourable mentions:
SEB Vol. 85
I always recommend this volume as a great gateway to eurobeat, featuring classics like 'Running in the 90s' and 'Don't Stop The Music'. It's a bit rare to come by as a CD, but definitely suggest to pick it up when you can~
SEB Vol. 175
A more modern selection, I also picked this one up from CDJapan early on when I started collecting SEB, so it's one of my first CDs!
SEB Vol. 116
Mixed with a lot of either funky tracks or serious songs, I love Time's work from this era because they were picking up the pace after the rough transition from the weird 'nerf' all the labels got turn of the century.
