1	Heat Treatment (1976) more music like this by Graham Parker & the Rumour Essentially Howlin Wind -- Vol. 2, as Parker and the Rumour demonstrate that their initial burst of high-quality songs can extend to a second album, in the same year as their debut. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.99! new only from $13.59!
2	Stick to Me (1977) more music like this by Graham Parker & the Rumour Graham Parker and the Rumour's third new studio album to be released in 18 months finds the bandleader running short of top-flight material; "Thunder And Rain" and "Watch The Moon Come Down" are up to his usual standards, but songs like "The Heat In Harlem" find him dangerously out of his depth. As a result, although fiercely played, this star ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $13.14!
3	Steady Nerves (1985) more music like this by Graham Parker & the Shot Graham Parker moves to his third record label (following stints at Mercury and Arista), forms a backup band called the Shot (again led by guitarist Brinsley Schwarz) and continues alternately arguing with existence ("Break Them Down") and praising his romantic life ("Wake Up [Next to You]"). William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.24! new only from $9.48!
4	Struck by Lightning (1991) more music like this by Graham Parker Struck By Lightning was the culmination of Graham Parker's previous two records, where he increasingly began to chronicle domestic tasks and affairs of the married heart. For such an intimate subject, Parker wisely decided to scale back the musical ambition of Human Soul on Struck By Lightning, recording a lean, stripped-down album that relies ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
5	The Mona Lisa's Sister (1988) more music like this by Graham Parker see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
6	The Live from Mountain Stage, Vol. 8 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Volume eight in the Live From Mountain Stage series continues in the admirably eclectic tradition of its predecessors; opening with a typically impassioned performance by Ani DiFranco ("Buildings and Bridges"), the set also spotlights tracks from John Gorka ("The Gypsy Life") and an outstanding Graham Parker reading of his "Howlin' Wind." Jason ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $5.00!
7	Songs of No Consequence (2005) more music like this by Graham Parker One man's stellar legacy is another man's millstone, and until the day he dies Graham Parker will doubtless find his latest music compared (usually unfavorably) to the four superb albums he cut in the 1970s: Howlin' Wind, Heat Treatment, Stick to Me, and Squeezing Out Sparks. To hear some folks talk about his body of work, you'd think Parker's ... see all copies from $4.49! new only from $5.85!
8	Beat the Retreat: Songs by Richard Thompson (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Richard Thompson is surely one of the greatest songwriters and artists never to achieve any measure of commercial fame. However, his high reputation among musicians is unchallenged, and Beat the Retreat is a fine collection of covers of some of Thompson's greatest songs. There are two kinds of successes on this record. The first kind is when ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.98!
9	Don't Tell Columbus (2007) more music like this by Graham Parker Depending on which album you get from Graham Parker these days, he's either set on reminding us that he's still capable of serving up the sort of lean and feisty rock & roll that made him a cult hero years ago, or demonstrating that he's matured into a pithy and very gifted singer/songwriter with the passage of time. 2007's Don't Tell Columbus ... see all copies from $10.70! new only from $10.70!
10	Another Grey Area [Bonus Track] (1982) more music like this by Graham Parker When Graham Parker issued the Jack Nitzsche-produced Squeezing out Sparks in 1979, many inside the music industry -- from execs to critics -- figured that his next one would be it, since Squeezing just missed, though it was celebrated by nearly everyone who heard it. Two of Parker's first three albums -- Howlin' Wind and Heat Treatment -- were top ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $2.99!
11 view cover	Brace Yourself!: A Tribute to Otis Blackwell (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Most tribute albums fail because the interpretations are too diverse to make the album consistent. Brace Yourself: A Tribute to Otis Blackwell sidesteps that problem by having the artists record with a house band well-versed in the material of the legendary rock & roll/R&B songwriter. Thankfully, the approach works; none of the artists turn in a ... see all copies from $4.97!
12 view cover	Squeezing out Sparks (1979) more music like this by Graham Parker & the Rumour Generally regarded as Graham Parker's finest album, Squeezing out Sparks is a masterful fusion of pub rock classicism, new wave pop, and pure vitriol that makes even his most conventional singer/songwriter numbers bristle with energy. Not only does Parker deliver his best, most consistent set of songs, but he offers more succinct hooks than before ... see all copies from $1.99!
13 view cover	Squeezing out Sparks [Squeezing out Sparks + Live Sparks] (1996) more music like this by Graham Parker & the Rumour Arista remastered Graham Parker's masterpiece, Squeezing out Sparks, for CD reissue, adding the previously promotional-only live album Live Sparks as an added bonus. Though it is somewhat disconcerting to hear the same songs in the same order in a row, it's an excellent addition for hardcore collectors, especially since the sound on the original ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
14 view cover	Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's, Vol. 1 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists The first installment of Rhino's massive 15-volume series, Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's, Vol. 1 fires an appropriate opening salvo, setting the pace for the rest of the volumes. Opening with Plastic Bertrand's incomparable, propulsive rocker "Ca Plane Pour Moi," the disc reels through big hits, cult and critical favorites, MTV ... see all copies from $30.00! new only from $79.87!
15 view cover	Howlin' Wind [Bonus Track] (2001) more music like this by Graham Parker For most intents and purposes, Graham Parker emerged fully formed on his debut album, Howlin' Wind. Sounding like the bastard offspring of Mick Jagger and Van Morrison, Parker sneers his way through a set of stunningly literate pub rockers. Instead of blindly sticking to the traditions of rock & roll, Parker invigorates them with cynicism and ... see all copies from $17.81! new only from $17.81!
16 view cover	The Parkerilla (1978) more music like this by Graham Parker & the Rumour In 1978, Graham Parker & the Rumour's career was on the rise in the U.K. and going nowhere in America, despite rave reviews for his first three albums and a growing reputation as a powerful live act. Most observers, including Parker himself, blamed his U.S. label, Mercury Records, for failing to give him the promotion he needed Stateside; eager to ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $16.44!
17 view cover	The Real Macaw [Bonus Track] (2007) more music like this by Graham Parker Graham Parker must have sensed that replacing a backing band as solid as the Rumour wasn't going to be easy after he parted ways with the group, and the session heavyweights assembled for Another Grey Area either couldn't or wouldn't summon up the passion and soul Parker's music demanded -- and the mushy sounding production didn't help, either. ... see all copies from $9.22! new only from $9.22!
18 view cover	The Real Macaw (1983) more music like this by Graham Parker Graham Parker must have sensed that replacing a backing band as solid as the Rumour wasn't going to be easy after he parted ways with the group, and the session heavyweights assembled for Another Grey Area either couldn't or wouldn't summon up the passion and soul Parker's music demanded -- and the mushy-sounding production didn't help, either. ... see all copies from $1.99!
19 view cover	The Stiff Records Box Set (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Stiff Records was a maverick among British independent record labels, partially responsible for starting the punk and new wave revolution of the late '70s. Under the guidance of house producer Nick Lowe, Stiff turned out an enormous number of seminal punk and new wave singles in their first years, including classic tracks by the Damned, Elvis ... see all copies from $185.55! new only from $185.55!
20	In Their Own Words, Vol. 1 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists In Their Own Words was the name of a series of performances at New York's Bottom Line, where singer-songwriters gathered in a roundtable, performed their own songs and told stories about their compositions; occasionally, they also performed covers, and described how the songs influenced their own work. Razor & Tie released highlights from these ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $7.00!
21 view cover	Burning Questions (1992) more music like this by Graham Parker After Struck By Lightning, Graham Parker was dropped by RCA Records. He moved to Capitol in 1992, releasing another installment in his musical diaries called Burning Questions. A more open and polished affair than the previous record, Burning Questions concentrates on broader issues than Struck By Lightning, yet the scope is similarly scaled-back. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
22 view cover	12 Haunted Episodes (1995) more music like this by Graham Parker 12 Haunted Episodes, Graham Parker's first album recorded for an independent label, is appropriately intimate and warm, recalling the simplicity of Struck By Lightning, but with a gentler approach. Parker makes no concessions to commercial radio on the record, dispensing with the slick productions that tended to plague his albums for the past ... see all copies from $2.59! new only from $17.79!
23 view cover	Human Soul (1990) more music like this by Graham Parker see all copies from $2.99! new only from $6.56!

Sounding like the bastard offspring of Mick Jagger and Van Morrison, Parker sneers his way through a set of stunningly literate pub rockers. Instead of blindly sticking to the traditions of rock & roll, Parker invigorates them with cynicism and ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.00!
25 view cover	The Up Escalator (1980) more music like this by Graham Parker & the Rumour While it was something short of a hit, Squeezing Out Sparks did win a measure of richly deserved American recognition for Graham Parker & the Rumour, and for the follow-up, Parker's American record label, Arista, paired him up with hotshot producer Jimmy Iovine. The idea looked good on paper; Iovine had produced or engineered great sounding hard ... see all copies from $4.99!
