1	MTV: Best of 120 Minutes, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Released in 1991, Rhino's MTV: Best of 120 Minutes is one of the last snapshots of college rock/alternative music just before grunge dominated, inflated, and ultimately burnt out the genre. The Red Hot Chili Peppers' version of "Higher Ground" is probably the album's hardest-rocking track -- though Sonic Youth's classic "Kool Thing" comes close -- ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.50!
2	More Oar: A Tribute to Alexander "Skip" Spence (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 1999's More Oar pays tribute to one of psychedelia's brightest lights, Skip Spence. His 1969 album Oar is a psych-folk classic, as well as a collector's item, ranking as one of Columbia's lowest-selling albums when it was originally released. This tribute marks the 30th anniversary of Oar's release and features performances from Spence fans as ... see all copies from $13.28! new only from $13.28!
3	Respect (1993) more music like this by Robyn Hitchcock & the Egyptians add to wishlist Many of Robyn Hitchcock's fans were less than enchanted with his 1991 album Perspex Island, with the glossy production usually cited as its crippling flaw, but the disc's real problem was that the surface sheen tended to emphasize the fact that the songs weren't up to Hitchcock's usual standards. Thankfully, Hitchcock's next set, 1993's Respect, ... see all copies from $1.99!
4	Globe of Frogs (1988) more music like this by Robyn Hitchcock & the Egyptians add to wishlist Robyn Hitchcock's first foray into U.S. major-label territory disappointed some critics but helped expand his audience beyond the realm of college radio, thanks to the radio-friendly "Balloon Man." Aided by his band the Egyptians, it's the production that mars this record, along with half of the songs. "Sleeping With Your Devil Mask," "Chinese ... see all copies from $2.39! new only from $72.82!
5	Invisible Hitchcock (1986) more music like this by Robyn Hitchcock add to wishlist As the reference to the Soft Boys' rarities collection, Invisible Hits, suggests, Invisible Hitchcock gathers together a selection of obscurities and non-album tracks Robyn Hitchcock recorded between 1980 and 1986. Granted, the material is a bit uneven, but the album holds together well, as it emphasizes Hitchcock's gift for warped wordplay and ... see all copies from $33.81! new only from $64.29!
6	I Wanna Go Backwards [Bonus Tracks] (2007) more music like this by Robyn Hitchcock add to wishlist Robyn Hitchcock's large armory of material is tailor-made for the reissue circuit -- his entire post-Soft Boys, pre-A&M output was remastered and re-released in the early '90s by Rhino with bonus cuts and extended liner notes for ingestion by the newly enlightened college radio demographic -- so it comes as no surprise that amidst a career ... see all copies from $44.78! new only from $44.78!
7	Eye [Rhino] (1990) more music like this by Robyn Hitchcock add to wishlist Six years after his superb I Often Dream of Trains, Robyn Hitchcock returned to the acoustic format of that album with Eye, and while the surfaces of the two albums are similar and Eye was eagerly embraced by fans, the tone of the two discs is considerably different. I Often Dream of Trains was a collection of songs written as Hitchcock was slowly ... see all copies from $4.68! new only from $28.00!
8	Greatest Hits (1996) more music like this by Robyn Hitchcock add to wishlist Disappointingly, the 1980s failed to recognize the genius of Robyn Hitchcock. As a member of the Soft Boys until they broke up in 1981, Hitchcock went on to write some extremely witty, off-the-wall, and peculiarly clever music. With a sound reminiscent of Lloyd Cole and even Elvis Costello at times, Hitchcock's jangly Brit-pop is made up of sharp ... see all copies from $24.12! new only from $84.00!
9	1976-1981 (1993) more music like this by The Soft Boys add to wishlist Although their five-year career reaped little in terms of commercial reward, the Soft Boys ultimately emerged among the most influential and best-loved of all the early "alternative" acts, as that genre thrust its way out of the twin wombs of punk and new wave. A convoluted back catalog -- as tricky and twisted in its own way as the very best of ... see all copies from $24.97!
10	Underwater Moonlight...And How It Got There (2001) more music like this by The Soft Boys add to wishlist One could argue that one of the reasons the Soft Boys' music still sounds so fresh today was in 1980 they managed to be ahead of the times and behind the times all at once. While their sharp intelligence, wiry melodies, veddy sophisticated wit, and cool yet powerful twin-guitar attack anticipated post-punk and indie rock by several years ... see all copies from $70.00!
11	Jewels for Sophia (1999) more music like this by Robyn Hitchcock add to wishlist Exhilarated by the simple joys of the Jonathan Demme movie Storefront Hitchcock, the celebrated Mr. H demonstrates more of the straightforward, idiosyncratic charm and scrumptious tunes that made his film such a surprise. And what a fine piece of work! Without altering his established formula, it's clear the one-time Soft Boys leader has hit on a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.99!
12	Storefront Hitchcock (1998) more music like this by Robyn Hitchcock add to wishlist On Hitchcock's last U.S. tour, he played Hendrix's "The Wind Cries Mary" as well as "Are You Experienced," sometimes within the same set. It's the kind of act that defines his performing genius as a whimsical iconoclast; but then Hitchcock once performed most of Dylan's "Royal Albert Hall" concert, so such live acts of devotion shouldn't come as ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $6.95!
13	Spooked (2004) more music like this by Robyn Hitchcock add to wishlist Sometime after the release of 2003's sparse and slightly chilly Luxor, Robyn Hitchcock attended his first Gillian Welch show. Impressed by the duo's rootsy adherence to the organic -- two guitars, two voices -- he approached the longtime fans -- Hitchcock unknowingly signed David Rawlings' guitar at a Boston in-store in 1989 -- and exchanged ... see all copies from $10.18! new only from $10.18!
14	Element of Light (1986) more music like this by Robyn Hitchcock & the Egyptians add to wishlist Element of Light, Hitchcock's second studio album with the Egyptians, remains one of his finest moments and offers a convincing argument for his talents as a pop craftsman. Using John Lennon's work for Revolver and The Beatles as a template, Hitchcock wrote an elegant set of songs for Element of Light, songs that contained all of his cryptic ... see all copies from $7.88! new only from $10.95!
15	I Often Dream of Trains [Yep Roc] (1984) more music like this by Robyn Hitchcock add to wishlist After the debacle that was the making of 1982's Groovy Decay, Robyn Hitchcock briefly retired from music, and when he returned it was with an album that offered a thoroughly uncompromised vision of Hitchcock's imagination. Released in 1984, I Often Dream of Trains was a primarily acoustic set with Hitchcock handling nearly all the instruments and ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
16	Black Snake Diamond Role [Yep Rock] (1981) more music like this by Robyn Hitchcock add to wishlist The Soft Boys' fusion of the energy of punk and the baroque textures and melodic twists of psychedelia was ahead of its time, but for the group's leader, Robyn Hitchcock, that had become a problem. Brilliant as their music was, hardly anyone was listening when the Soft Boys released their masterpiece, Underwater Moonlight, in 1980 -- so a year ... see all copies from $8.81! new only from $8.81!
17	Eye [Yep Roc] (1990) more music like this by Robyn Hitchcock add to wishlist Six years after his superb I Often Dream of Trains, Robyn Hitchcock returned to the acoustic format of that album with Eye, and while the surfaces of the two albums are similar and Eye was eagerly embraced by fans, the tone of the two discs is considerably different. I Often Dream of Trains was a collection of songs written as Hitchcock was slowly ... see all copies from $11.86! new only from $11.86!
18	Fegmania! (1985) more music like this by Robyn Hitchcock & the Egyptians add to wishlist After the stripped-back collection I Often Dream of Trains, Robyn Hitchcock slowly formed a backing band called the Egyptians with ex-Soft Boys Andy Metcalfe and Morris Windsor, and keyboardist Roger Jackson over the course of the next year. Fegmania!, the Egyptians' first album, was a distinct departure from both the Soft Boys and Hitchcock's ... see all copies from $7.39! new only from $30.82!
19	Olé! Tarantula (2006) more music like this by Robyn Hitchcock & the Venus 3 add to wishlist In 2004, Robyn Hitchcock's loose and folky Spooked saw the insect- and crustacean-loving eccentric enlisting the unlikely help of NPR darlings David Rawlings and Gillian Welch. This time around he's backed by "3/4s of the Minus 5 and half of R.E.M." (Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey, and Bill Rieflin) as well as ex-Soft Boys Kimberley Rew and Morris ... see all copies from $4.63! new only from $9.50!
20	Sex, Food, Death and Tarantulas (2007) by Robyn Hitchcock add to wishlist see all copies from $2.45! new only from $2.45!
21	Luxor (2003) more music like this by Robyn Hitchcock add to wishlist Some of Robyn Hitchcock's best work in his career has been on his solo acoustic albums. It therefore comes as no surprise that Luxor is on par with both Eye and the classic I Often Dream of Trains, although it is a bit darker in tone than either of those discs. This collection offers more examples of Hitchcock's winning mix of silly and sublime ... see all copies from $12.49! new only from $16.14!
22	A Star for Bram (2000) more music like this by Robyn Hitchcock add to wishlist The unstoppable Robyn Hitchcock collected his outtakes from the Jewels for Sophia sessions as well as some odds and ends for this self-released 12-song collection. Thanks to a 1999 ad for a Volkswagen, Hitchcock's "I Saw Nick Drake" was topical, which isn't usually the case for the willfully obscure artist. "1974" is reprised from Storefront ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $15.35!
23	This Is the BBC (2006) more music like this by Robyn Hitchcock add to wishlist Compiled by the man himself, This Is the BBC collects 14 cuts from sessions taped between 1996 and 1999, focusing primarily on material from Moss Elixir and Jewels for Sophia. As usual, Hitchcock's banter, intricate guitar-playing, and unpredictable nature makes these more than just demos, outtakes, and by the book renderings of studio cuts. ... see all copies from $17.28! new only from $17.28!
24	A Can of Bees (1979) more music like this by The Soft Boys add to wishlist One of the band's earliest recordings, featuring their signature tune "Give It to the Soft Boys," A Can of Bees includes a lot of the zaniness principal member Robyn Hitchcock would become known for in his later work, but the band had not yet jelled and found them still in search of their ultimate sound, an amalgam of new wave and psychedelia. ... see all copies from $26.75!
25	Robyn Sings (2002) more music like this by Robyn Hitchcock add to wishlist Robyn Hitchcock has covered a multitude of artists throughout his career, wowing concert audiences with his ability to spontaneously recall obscure songs and a penchant for making such numbers seem like his own. While his voice and songcraft have usually led to quick comparisons with Syd Barrett and the Beatles, his surreal lyrics and acoustic ... see all copies from $34.99! new only from $45.65!
