by
Men Without Hats
Men Without Hats broke big with their 1982 debut, Rhythm of Youth. Though they never maintained that level of success, their third album Pop Goes the World was a smart, well-crafted, woefully underrated offering. The album chronicles the quest for and backlash of fame on songs like the title track, on which Ivan sings "Johnny and Jenny had a crazy ...

Greatest Rock Hits of the 80's
(1996)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
The title of MCA Special Products' Greatest Rock Hits of the 80's shouldn't be taken literally -- after all, these songs are closer to new wave than "rock & roll." Instead, it should be thought of as a random sampler of new wave and pop hits from MCA and MCA-affiliated artists. If you have those expectations, the disc will be quite enjoyable, ...

VH1: The Big 80's
(1996)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
Halfway through the '90s, the programmers of VH1 realized there was a whole audience that hungered for the great videos of the '80s -- not only new wave refugees, but a generation of younger fans to whom the sounds of the early '80s were as classic as the British Invasion. So VH1 invented The Big '80s, a show that specialized in '80s videos. Once ...

Modern Rock Collection

by
Various Artists
Available only through Time Life Music, Modern Rock Collection isn't really "modern rock" in the sense for which the term was used back in the '80s, when it essentially referred to the more college-radio-friendly strain of alternative rock. This disc, however, concentrates on new wave pop hits, most of them pretty big, or at least well-known. It's ...

Roots of Rock: New Wave
(1998)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
Even the biggest fans of New Wave will have to laugh at the title of Roots of Rock: New Wave, since it's ludicrous to think of any music made in the '80s as "the roots of rock," let alone one that relied so heavily on synthesizers. That said, even skepetics might admit that the 12-track collection (ten on cassette) is a shamelessly entertaining ...

by
Men Without Hats
Men Without Hats' debut album Rhythm of Youth was a set of catchy, appealing synth pop. Although the material on the album was wildly inconsistent, the group's energy was infectious, making up for the weaker songs. And when the band managed to write a solid melody -- such as the hit single "The Safety Dance" -- the results were quite memorable. ~ ...

Just when you thought you'd heard everything. Here we have an album of guitar-driven alt-rock from Montreal electro-pop ensemble Men Without Hats. Apparently, the Hats' lead singer/songwriter Ivan Doroschuk had taken to hanging out with Montreal scenesters like the Doughboys, who encouraged him to pursue his predilection for loud guitars. He had ...

Buddha's Poptronica series boasts a title that's a play on the prevalent term for techno in the '90s, electronica. In the early '80s, however, synth pop was often called techno -- something that the compilers of Poptronica remembered when it came time to assemble a three-disc series of synth pop hits from the '80s. Though Poptronica has a bit of a ...
