1	Once Upon a Time (1985) more music like this by Simple Minds Riding the coat tails of the John Hughes flick The Breakfast Club, Simple Minds finally broke America with their theme song "Don't You Forget About Me," and their 1985 release Once Upon a Time captured the heart-wrenching excitement found in bands such as U2. They were now one of the biggest names in music and Jim Kerr's thirsting vocals became ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.79!
2	The Best of Simple Minds (2002) more music like this by Simple Minds Simple Minds, the Scottish group led by Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill, has had a very different career in the U.S. from the one it's enjoyed in its native U.K., and that leads to different estimations of this compilation. As far as Britain is concerned, it is a much-needed, comprehensive collection of the band's hit singles, no less than 26 of ... see all copies from $12.59! new only from $12.59!
3	Sons and Fascination/Sister Feelings Call [Bonus Tracks] (2002) more music like this by Simple Minds For their fourth album in three years, Simple Minds signed on with Virgin and enlisted Gong's Steve Hillage as producer. The sessions continued the group's impressive run of high-quality output, but there are instances where ambition gets the best of them. Though their work with Hillage hardly spawned anything on a plane with the two albums that ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
4	Classic Alternatives, Vol. 4 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $15.22!
5	Street Fighting Years (1989) more music like this by Simple Minds Their first proper new release since the commercial breakthrough of Once Upon a Time (a live album intervened) and Simple Minds makes a decidedly, noncommercial follow-up. Street Fighting Years is a moody, dark affair. The music is yearning and most of the songs are politically charged lyrically. It was a move that could (and did) bring commercial ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
6	Sparkle in the Rain (1984) more music like this by Simple Minds Scotland's Simple Minds get creative and passionate on Sparkle in the Rain, their seventh album released prior to their mid-'80s heyday of heralding the charts. Produced by Steve Lillywhite (U2, Morrissey, XTC, Psychedelic Furs), Sparkle in the Rain marks the band's best effort thus far, capturing thick seascapes of illustrious lyrical visions. ... see all copies from $2.58! new only from $2.58!
7	Real Life (1991) more music like this by Simple Minds One prize Simple Minds will never win is for being the most consistent band in the world. Some of their albums have been strong (New Gold Dream, Sparkle in the Rain, and Once Upon a Time, to name a few), while others have been weak and disappointing. Real Life sort of falls in between; some of the songs are decent (including the catchy "Stand By ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
8	Good News from the Next World (1995) more music like this by Simple Minds see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
9	New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84) (1982) more music like this by Simple Minds One of Scotland's finest imports, Simple Minds deliver a strong synth-reared release on New Gold Dream. This album harks the darker side of the band's musicianship, and such material alludes to their forthcoming pop-stadium sound which hurled them into rock mainstream during the latter part of the '80s. They were still honing their artistic ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $10.79!
10	Greenpeace: Rainbow Warriors (1989) more music like this by Various Artists In 1989 31 bands donated songs to a fundraiser compilation for international activists Greenpeace. Originally available on vinyl, the CD set includes four bonus tracks. The music is a diverse sample of 1980s rock originally released in the U.S.S.R. as Breakthrough, where it sold 500,000 copies on the day of its release. Eventually U.S.S.R. sales ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.95!

12 view cover	Life in a Day (1979) more music like this by Simple Minds Simple Minds' astonishingly rapid ascent from humble and derivative post-punk to platinum and transcendent art pop is just as remarkable as the descent that followed it. More remarkable is the fact that a fair portion of the band's fans have such a strict discographical line in the sand drawn -- right at the chart-crashing masterpiece that is New ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $12.00!
13 view cover	Empires and Dance (1980) more music like this by Simple Minds Hardly content with fumbling around with the same sound, Simple Minds shifted gears once again for album number three, Empires and Dance. The "dance" aspect of the title needs to be emphasized, but it's apparent that the group's globetrotting and simmering political tensions in Britain affected their material in more ways than one. One gets the ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
14 view cover	Glittering Prize 81/92 (1992) more music like this by Simple Minds Glittering Prize falls short of being a true anthology of Simple Minds, eliminating many key tracks (not even "Glittering Prize," the song the album is named after, is included) and giving too much weight to the band's later years (an inexplicable three tracks from 1991's Real Life are included). Still, all the mid-'80s hits are here, including " ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.00!

16 view cover	Like, Omigod! The '80s Pop Culture Box (Totally) (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Rock criticism has two schools of thought regarding the '80s. One complains that it was all crass, commercial crap, breathing a sigh of relief that we made it through that dreck (thanks to IRS, SST, jangle pop, college rock, and hardcore punk, of course). The other celebrates the album as "cheesy" fun, full of naïve, silly singles; bad haircuts; ... see all copies from $87.37! new only from $87.37!
17 view cover	Pure 80's Hits (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The third '80s compilation in Universal's as-seen-on-TV series (following Pure '80s and More Pure '80s), Pure '80s Hits collects 19 more of the decade's new wave, AOR, and mainstream pop/rock hits. Unfortunately, there are a few more clunkers and mediocrities on this volume than its predecessors, but there are enough big hits to make it a decent ... see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
18 view cover	Celebration (1982) more music like this by Simple Minds Originally released in 1982 by Arista in the U.K. and reissued on CD by the Dutch Disky imprint in 2001, Celebration serviceably culls some of the better moments from Simple Minds' first three albums: 1979's Life in a Day and Reel to Real Cacophony and 1980's Empires and Dance. Given the sadly neglected status of the band's early catalog -- ... see all copies from $7.35! new only from $7.35!
19 view cover	Xtravaganza Mix (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
20 view cover	She's a River [US CD] (1995) more music like this by Simple Minds see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.99!
21 view cover	Neon Lights (2001) more music like this by Simple Minds Simple Minds attempted to rectify their glory days as an act classic with signature hooks and dreamy lyrical stories on 1995's Good News From the Next World and 1997's Neapolis, but grunge and modern rock had overtaken the new pop generation and Simple Minds fans had moved beyond the beauty of it all. Still, frontman Jim Kerr and guitarist Charlie ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $4.50!
22 view cover	VH1: The Big 80's The Big Movies (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Rhino has had enormous success with its VH1-sponsored collections, whether it was 8-Track Flashback or The Big '80s. Usually, series lose steam as more editions are released, but VH1 The Big '80s: The Big Movies is the exception that proves the rule. Its success may be due to the fact that it has a specific theme -- it collects hit songs and ... see all copies from $5.20! new only from $10.98!
23 view cover	First Generation: Virgin 25 Years (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Most people think of Virgin Records as the multinational recording conglomerate that has proven to be one of the giants of the industry in the 1990s. Indeed, that is true. However, like a lot of big dinosaurs, they got their start as one of the most feisty independents of their time. Virgin XXV Years collects a lot of label material that reflects ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $6.95!
24 view cover	Reel to Real Cacophony (1979) more music like this by Simple Minds To the delight of some open-minded post-punk fans -- fans who also had space for the relatively new, untraditional likes of Devo, Kraftwerk, and Eno in their record collections -- the relative simple-mindedness of Life in a Day was blown to bits and left for dead on the pub floor by Reel to Real Cacophony, the wide-eyed carnival-like follow-up ... see all copies from $13.03! new only from $14.82!
25 view cover	Early Gold (2003) more music like this by Simple Minds Go back to 1993 and try to imagine this: Radiohead releases their debut album in April, skips right over the Bends/OK Computer era, and puts out their second album, Kid A, in October. It sounds inconceivable, yes, but a parallel situation actually happened , albeit in another decade to another band -- a band that eventually went on to fill ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
