1	University (1995) more music like this by Throwing Muses Possibly their finest album, Throwing Muses' fifth album, University, blends the rock power of Red Heaven, their first effort as a trio, with the shiny, surreal pop of The Real Ramona. The result is a collection of songs, like the album opener, "Bright Yellow Gun," that are as ferociously kinetic as they are insinuatingly melodic. At first, Tanya ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.65!
2	The Real Ramona (1991) more music like this by Throwing Muses The Real Ramona marked the perfect balance of Throwing Muses' angular songwriting and latent pop tendencies. Where Hunkpapa tried, somewhat unsuccessfully, to mix these elements, this album succeeds with surreal pop songs like "Counting Backwards" and "Red Shoes." They're catchy and riveting, clearly linked to the band's early material yet more ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.09!
3	Hunkpapa (1990) more music like this by Throwing Muses On their third album, Hunkpapa, Throwing Muses' volatility settled into a jangly, angular style of college rock. Not quite as riveting as Throwing Muses or House Tornado and not quite as accessible as the band's later albums, Hunkpapa finds the Muses in transition; most of the album's songs just aren't as focused or powerful as their other work. ... see all copies from $9.69! new only from $9.69!
4	Limbo (1996) more music like this by Throwing Muses On the one hand, KRISTIN HERSH and mates are guilty of running in place: It's difficult to distinguish between the production and style of this LP with 1995's University. Indeed, one of Limbo's strongest efforts, "Ruthie's Knocking," sounds like a re-write of "Shimmer." Moreover, nothing grabs as much as the spine-tingling "Bright Yellow Gun" (the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.75!
5	Strange Angels (1998) more music like this by Kristin Hersh Due to economic reasons, Kristin Hersh reluctantly disbanded the Throwing Muses in 1997, claiming that the trio could no longer afford to tour and record. So, she was essentially forced back to recording a solo acoustic album in the vein of Hips and Makers, her revelatory 1994 solo debut. Strange Angels isn't the equal of that minor masterpiece, ... see all copies from $2.70! new only from $5.00!
6	Sweet Relief II (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Madonna, R.E.M., Live, and Hootie & the Blowfish are among the artists who tackle Athens, GA, singer/songwriter Chesnutt's music on this volume for Sweet Relief, the foundation Victoria Williams established to assist ailing musicians such as herself and Chesnutt, who is paraplegic. Although the hard grunge "Sponge," contributed by hometown friends ... see all copies from $2.11! new only from $12.84!
7	Learn to Sing Like a Star (2007) more music like this by Kristin Hersh Learn to Sing Like a Star is, without doubt, a Kristin Hersh record that's not entirely divorced from a Throwing Muses record (she has announced that the Muses aren't a dead concern), while also touching on 2001's Sunny Border Blue and her last solo offering, The Grotto, released in 2003. Her first solo offering in nearly four years, Learn to Sing ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $14.22!
8	In a Doghouse (1998) more music like this by Throwing Muses Throwing Muses' classic first album was never released in the U.S., nor was their follow-up EP, Chains Changed. For well over a decade, the two records were only available as imports through 4AD, which meant that Throwing Muses, one of the most influential and individual albums of late-'80s alternative rock, was very hard for anyone outside of ... see all copies from $14.00! new only from $18.00!
9	The Grotto (2003) more music like this by Kristin Hersh The best albums Kristin Hersh has made throughout her career -- both with Throwing Muses and as a solo artist -- have been the ones that have been the most conducive to compulsive listening. Throwing Muses (the first one), University, and Hips and Makers aren't the kind of records one throws on for a few minutes to get a quick fix; they either ... see all copies from $14.69! new only from $14.69!
10	Hips and Makers (1994) more music like this by Kristin Hersh Kristin Hersh dug into her backlog of compositions for material of an intensely personal nature that she felt wouldn't be suitable for her band on her solo debut, Hips and Makers. In stark contrast to her work with Throwing Muses, Hips and Makers is almost entirely acoustic. Hersh embellishes her waifish voice and acoustic guitar with touches of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
11 view cover	House Tornado (1988) more music like this by Throwing Muses On their second album and first major-label release, Throwing Muses apply more polish, craft, and melody to the challenging style they forged on their debut. The pop sheen on songs like "Colder" and "Saving Grace" makes their sudden dynamic shifts and tempo changes more accessible without dulling them. Kristin Hersh finds ways to mold her complex ... see all copies from $13.08! new only from $13.08!
12 view cover	Red Heaven (1992) more music like this by Throwing Muses Undaunted by the departure of Tanya Donelly to form her own group, Belly, Kristen Hersh continued Throwing Muses as a trio on the band's fourth album, Red Heaven. The pared-down lineup gives rock songs like "Furious" and "Backroad" a more powerful, muscular sound and pop tracks like "Dirty Water" and "Firepile" a crisp, spacious feel. Overall, Red ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $9.13!
13 view cover	Sunny Border Blue (2001) more music like this by Kristin Hersh In her solo career, Kristin Hersh alternates between acoustic-based work like Hips and Makers and spiky, Throwing Muses-esque punk-pop. Sunny Border Blue, her fourth officially released effort, is considerably folkier than its predecessor, Sky Motel, but borrows enough of its rock vitality to avoid Strange Angel's sluggishness. Unfortunately, the ... see all copies from $3.47! new only from $14.14!
14 view cover	Strings (1994) more music like this by Kristin Hersh A beautiful EP featuring several tracks that didn't make Hips and Makers, as well as excellent re-recorded versions of several of the tracks that did. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.45!
15	Ruthie's Knocking (1996) more music like this by Throwing Muses see all copies from $2.99! new only from $8.00!
16 view cover	Sky Motel (1999) more music like this by Kristin Hersh Kristin Hersh's third solo album Sky Motel finds her picking up the electric guitar again for a collection of mature, mercurial, parallel-dimension pop. The album fuses the restraint of her acoustic work with the lush textures of Throwing Muses' later albums, adding Latin percussion and keyboards for a further update on Hersh's signature sound. A ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $3.00!
17 view cover	Throwing Muses [2003] (2003) more music like this by Throwing Muses Throwing Muses were anomalous long before they came back to 4AD to record their second self-titled album. By 1996's Limbo, they were a rare band that had continued to make vibrant and vital music well after a decade of existence. And now they're even more of a rare case; several years after that last album, they have returned with their loudest, ... see all copies from $5.60! new only from $10.19!
18 view cover	After the Fair: 21st Century Women (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.00!
19 view cover	Free Music (2006) more music like this by 50 Foot Wave If you want these songs on a regular CD in a regular jewel case with artwork, you'll have to pay up and treat the title as a call to action rather than a price point. If you're content with high-bitrate MP3s, you can get them for free with some (different) printable artwork at the band's website. Giving away music intentionally is nothing new. ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $4.95!
20 view cover	50 Foot Wave (2004) more music like this by 50 Foot Wave If Throwing Muses was Kristin Hersh's Hüsker Dü, 50 Foot Wave is her Sugar, which makes this six-song EP her Beaster. 50 Foot Wave is the first in a promised series of short EPs from the group, so in a sense that would actually make it Hersh's first of many Beasters. (And right on for that.) OK, some explaining now: Hersh formed this group, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
21 view cover	X Factor (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.99!
22	Freeloader (1997) more music like this by Throwing Muses see all copies from $2.99! new only from $5.00!
23 view cover	Xmas Marks the Spot (1997) more music like this by Various Artists A delightfully quirky compilation of Christmas music that features Big Star, Arthur Lyman, Joseph Spence and many others. What it lacks in consistency, it makes up for in fascination -- the stylistic shifts are wonderful. Steven McDonald, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
24 view cover	Teleconned, Vol. 1: We Want the Airwaves (1998) more music like this by Various Artists A benefit compilation for the Americans for Radio Diversity group, Teleconned Volume 1: We Want the Airwaves is a strong collection of unreleased tracks from some of the more notable names on the contemporary alt-rock scene. The disc is rewardingly diverse, spanning from the psych-pop noise of His Name Is Alive's "Jump the Boy" to the energy of ... see all copies from $1.99!
25 view cover	Instant Live: The Paradise - Boston, MA, 1/28/05 (2005) more music like this by Kristin Hersh see all copies from $13.56! new only from $13.56!
