Words that rhyme with Anthology
Anthology reads as a word that lives in the head before the senses on the page; phonetically it's four-syllable, anchored on the tight /ɪ/, ending where it ends on an open vowel. It's a concept-word that wants a concrete rhyme to ground it. It serves as a word the songwriter reaches for when the line needs scaffolding in most lyrics. Search rhymes for anthology long enough and you notice the pattern: perfect rhymes are common for this one, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the slant-by-vowel pool is enormous.

Why anthology rhymes the way it does
Anthology is built around the clipped /ɪ/ (/ɪ/); it's four-syllable and ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 81 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 71, assonance 6,099, and consonance 27. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Anthology is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
