1	Change (1989) more music like this by The Alarm Clearly, change was called for in the Alarm's career, and on their fourth album, the group achieved a tighter hard rock sound by turning to producer Tony Visconti. Their extensive roadwork and promotional efforts had opened doors for them at AOR and college radio, which played "Sold Me Down The River," "Devolution Workin' Man Blues," and "Love Don ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
2	Stay Inside (2007) more music like this by Sound the Alarm see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.18!
3	Standards (1990) more music like this by The Alarm During the early '80s, the Alarm were seen as rivals to U2 -- a Welsh variation of the passionate Dublin quartet, driven by the same righteous anger, anthemic hooks, and love for the Clash. They never quite matched their inspirations in terms of sales or critical respect, despite a series of acclaimed records that were minor sensations during the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.09!
4	Declaration (1984) more music like this by The Alarm The Alarm's first full-length album was, to a certain extent, a collection of the singles they had been releasing since October 1982: "Marching On," "The Stand," "Sixty Eight Guns" (number 17 U.K.), "Where Were You Hiding When the Storm Broke?" (number 22 U.K.) and "The Deceiver" (number 51 U.K.). As such, it had a strident, immediate appeal that ... see all copies from $1.99!
5	Raw (1991) more music like this by The Alarm It's hard to avoid the conclusion that The Alarm's fifth new studio album, Raw, released six months after the career-summarizing hits collection Standards, was a contractual obligation record. Lacking promotion, it crept into the pop chart for a single week at number 161, while the title track earned some AOR and college radio play. Despite that ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
6	The Best of the Alarm (2006) more music like this by The Alarm The Best of the Alarm is a generous collection, containing all of the Alarm's standards plus several solo cuts from their leader, Mike Peters. All of the group's hits and best album tracks are here, making this an excellent choice for either the curious or the casual fan. A reissue of a collection originally released in 1998, The Best of the Alarm ... see all copies from $16.51! new only from $16.51!
7	Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's, Vol. 12 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists The 12th volume of Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's is much like its predecessor, containing a selection of big, big new wave hits balanced by lesser-known cuts, usually heard on MTV or, maybe, college radio. Really, this is too pop-oriented to be considered college radio-oriented, but there's still a number of cuts that straddle ... see all copies from $9.26! new only from $10.76!
8	Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's, Vol. 13 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists If you want to get technical, which you probably don't, the songs that comprise the 13th volume of Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits probably aren't new wave -- and if they are new wave, they're arriving at the tail end of new wave, when the term didn't signify as much (as if it ever did). That means this is devoted to songs from the mid-'80s, ... see all copies from $7.20! new only from $11.27!
9	Eye of the Hurricane (1987) more music like this by The Alarm This should have been the album that put the Alarm on the path to major stardom; instead, it marked the limits of their appeal. From the early fervor of their punk/acoustic debut, the group had evolved into more of a mainstream rock act without ever getting out from under the shadow of their mentors, U2. In fact, here, they sounded more like U2 ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.99!
10	On the Charts: I.R.S. Records 1979-1994 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists IRS Records was one of the giants of the post-punk era. They cultivated a roster filled with groundbreaking underground rockers, from the English Beat to R.E.M. Like most great labels, they stayed around a little too long, so their message was diluted toward the end of their life, but in their prime, they were a diverse, exceptional label. Since ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
11 view cover	Change: 1989-1990 [Bonus Tracks] (2002) more music like this by The Alarm Clearly, change was called for in The Alarm's career, and on their fourth album, Change: 1989-1990, the group achieved a tighter hard rock sound by turning to producer Tony Visconti.

12 view cover	Strength (1985) more music like this by The Alarm In addition to an improved sense of musicality and dynamics, Strength featured the Alarm's finest group of songs, making it their single best studio album. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.50!
13 view cover	Under Attack [Bonus DVD] (2006) more music like this by The Alarm When Under Attack appeared in 2006, it marked the Alarm's first new U.S. release in 15 years. Much had changed in the personal life of leader Mike Peters shortly before it became available, as he had recently discovered he'd contracted leukemia, almost ten years after he'd contracted lymphoma. But Under Attack sounds like what you'd expect almost ... see all copies from $14.42! new only from $14.42!
14 view cover	Back from the Grave, Vol. 1 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Crypt Records' Back From the Grave, Vol. 1 unearths tracks from some of the '60s most obscure garage rockers, including brilliantly named combos like the Monacles, the One Way Streets, the Canadian Rogues, and the Alarm Clocks. The songs range from tough and alienated, like Elite's "My Confusion" and the Lyrics' "They Can't Hurt Me," to goofy fun ... see all copies from $12.00!
15 view cover	Christmas in Your Ear (1997) more music like this by Various Artists EMI-Capitol Special Markets' Christmas in Your Ear is intended to be a raw, aggressive, rockin' holiday record for all those rockers out there. Problem is, most of the ten songs are hardly "in your ear." Also, rock and Christmas aren't necessarily a match made in heaven, as illustrated by such cuts on Christmas in Your Ear as Billy Squier's ... see all copies from $8.69! new only from $8.69!
16 view cover	Electric Folklore: Live (1988) more music like this by The Alarm The Alarm chose to address the career crisis precipitated by their declining record sales by emphasizing their live act in the form of this six-song EP, recorded in concert at the Wang Center for the Performing Arts in Boston on April 26, 1988. Lead singer Mike Peters took the opportunity to criticize American radio and quote Woody Guthrie. The ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.25!
17	Stand / Lie of the Land (1991) more music like this by The Alarm see all copies from $2.99! new only from $30.00!
18 view cover	Sound the Alarm [Rock Ridge] (2005) more music like this by Sound the Alarm Back in the '70s, a band like Sound the Alarm (formerly Sleepwell) would have been considered a major contradiction. They're exuberant, hard-rocking, and punk-minded, but they are also very introspective. They don't sound introspective -- someone who doesn't speak a word of English and could only go by the music itself (without weighing the lyrics ... see all copies from $4.12! new only from $9.11!
19 view cover	In the Poppy Fields (2004) more music like this by The Alarm see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
20 view cover	The Alarm (1983) more music like this by The Alarm This is a five-song EP that introduced the Alarm in the U.S. It is led off by "The Stand," a forceful anthem that established the band's powerful, vaguely political message. Actually, they were always more stance than stand, more notable for their fury than their sense. It made for stirring listening, though. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.00!
21 view cover	The Time Has Come (2006) more music like this by The Alarm Clocks There are one-hit wonders and then there are no-hit wonders. The Alarm Clocks fall into the latter category, one of countless adrenalized suburban garage bands that released a single in the '60s -- theirs was "No Reason to Complain" backed with "Yeah," issued on the Awake label in the immortal year of 1966 -- only to disappear as quickly as they'd ... see all copies from $8.02! new only from $17.23!
22 view cover	68 Guns (2003) more music like this by The Alarm see all copies from $17.15!
23 view cover	Coolest Christmas (1994) more music like this by Various Artists The Coolest Christmas is an odd holiday collection, featuring as many classic Christmas recordings (Roy Orbison's "Pretty Paper," Dean Martin's "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!," Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," Guy Lombardo's "Auld Lang Syne") as novelties (Elmo n' Patsy's "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer") and oddities ... see all copies from $1.99!
24 view cover	These People Are Nuts (1989) more music like this by Various Artists This is a fine overview of the greatest hits of I.R.S. Records. Dan Heilman, All Music Guide see all copies from $19.99! new only from $21.50!
25 view cover	Best of the Alarm & Mike Peters (1998) more music like this by The Alarm The Best of the Alarm & Mike Peters is a generous collection, containing 16 of the Alarm's standards plus four solo cuts from their leader, Mike Peters. All of the group's hits and best album tracks are here, making this an excellent choice for either the curious or the casual fan. [Capitol reissued the collection in 2006 as the Best of the Alarm ... see all copies from $16.31! new only from $16.31!
