1	Cosmic Thing (1989) more music like this by The B-52's Many observers were prepared to write off the B-52's after the release of Bouncing Off the Satellites. Granted, the album was completed in the wake of Ricky Wilson's death, but the group appeared bereft of new musical ideas and were sounding rather stale. In other words, the last thing anyone expected was a first-class return to form, which is ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.37!
2	The B-52's (1979) more music like this by The B-52's Even in the weird, quirky world of new wave and post-punk in the late '70s, the B-52's' eponymous debut stood out as an original. Unabashed kitsch mavens at a time when their peers were either vulgar or stylish, the Athens quintet celebrated all the silliest aspects of pre-Beatles pop culture -- bad hairdos, sci-fi nightmares, dance crazes, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.03!
3	Time Capsule (1998) more music like this by The B-52's Time Capsule is an excellent, 18-track collection that offers a comprehensive overview of the B-52's' career, from their kitschy post-punk beginnings to their unexpected chart success in the early '90s. Along the way, all the big songs -- "Planet Claire," "Rock Lobster," "Private Idaho," "Quiche Lorraine," "Summer of Love" (in its original mix), ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $4.99!
4	Good Stuff (1992) more music like this by The B-52's If Cosmic Thing found them returned to most-favored party band status, this followup gamely soldiers on in similar fashion. Without Cindy Wilson, Good Stuff becomes Kate Pierson's showcase, while even Fred Schneider turns in his most purely musical performance to date. If the B-52's hit some dead ends while trying to stretch out a bit, be assured ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
5	Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Halloween (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $7.89! new only from $7.89!
6	Whammy! (1983) more music like this by The B-52's Following the botched collaboration with David Byrne on Mesopotamia, the B-52's decided to craft their fourth album as a return to the pop-culture funk explosion of their debut. Smartly, they decided to not simply replicate the skewed Southern funk of that album, choosing to update their signature sound with drum machines and new wave synths. As a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.53!
7	Wild Planet (1980) more music like this by The B-52's Conventional wisdom has it that all the B-52's' subsequent releases are highly inferior to their debut. While Wild Planet is not the rarefied wonder their first platter is, it's still darn good. The songs here are generally faster, tighter, and punchier than previously, though production values are not as wonderfully quirky and detailed; fewer ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $5.00!
8	Tame Yourself (1991) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.25!
9	Bouncing Off the Satellites (1986) more music like this by The B-52's Two years after the release of Whammy!, guitarist Ricky Wilson died of AIDS, a shattering blow for the B-52's. The group recouped and finished Bouncing Off the Satellites, the album they were recording when Wilson died. Considering their loss, it's not surprising that the B-52's don't sound entirely focused throughout the record, and it's easy to ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $4.98!
10	Party Mix!/Mesopotamia (1991) more music like this by The B-52's In 1981, The B-52's issued a six-track EP containing remixes of some of the most popular songs from their first two albums. In 1982, they released a new six-track EP produced by Talking Heads' David Byrne called Mesopotamia. Neither of them was essential, but both had their virtues, and they were put together on one CD after the group's big ... see all copies from $9.55! new only from $9.55!
11 view cover	Ultimate New Wave Party 1998 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Ultimate Dance Party 1998 is an entertaining, continuous-mix party album that features such new wave classics as the Romantics' "What I Like About You," Billy Idol's "Dancing With Myself," Modern English's "I Melt With You," Soft Cell's "Tainted Love," Blondie's "Heart of Glass," the Cars' "Just What I Needed," David Bowie's "Let's Dance," ABC's ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $11.06!
12 view cover	Millennium: 80's New Wave Party (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Millennium: '80s New Wave Party, the final installment in Rhino's five-disc series Millennium Party, basically recycles 20 hits available in the label's extensive new wave series Just Can't Get Enough, but it does so in style. Like other volumes in the series, New Wave Party contains nothing but genre classics, the songs everybody knows. In this ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $16.52!
13 view cover	Planet Claire (1995) more music like this by The B-52's Released within months of the official, Warner-sanctioned compilation, Planet Claire was another European compilation of the B-52's' early years, containing a nearly identical lineup to Dance This Mess Around and The Best of the B-52's. That means all the familiar items are here -- "Planet Claire," "Rock Lobster," "Lava," "Downtown," "6060-842," ... see all copies from $5.01! new only from $10.10!
14 view cover	Nude on the Moon: The B-52's Anthology (2002) more music like this by The B-52's The B-52's were one of the great new wave bands, one of the ones who defined the style and cut one of the great records of their time (their eponymous debut), an outfit who maintained a dedicated following even as they fell off the radar of critics and hipsters, a group who overcame a tragic loss (guitarist Ricky Wilson) to make a startling, ... see all copies from $28.03! new only from $28.03!
15 view cover	Best of the B-52's: Dance This Mess Around (1990) more music like this by The B-52's Released only in the U.K., Japan, and various parts of Europe in 1990, The Best of the B-52's: Dance This Mess Around was designed to capitalize on the unexpected success of Cosmic Thing. It's an excellent summation of the group's late-'70s/early-'80s heyday, featuring such staples as "Wig," "Give Me Back My Man," "Song for a Future Generation," ... see all copies from $12.33! new only from $12.33!
16 view cover	Instant Party Disc: Regular Strength (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The idea behind Rhino's Instant Party Disc series is that any compilation bearing the label Instant Party Disc is guaranteed to turn the lamest gathering into a rip-roaring bash. Which is why there's nothing but party favorites here, regardless of style, genre or decade -- "Celebration," "We Are Family," "Tequila," "Rock This Town," "Mickey," ... see all copies from $16.85! new only from $16.85!
17 view cover	18 New Wave Classics, Vol. 1 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists The first volume of 18 New Wave Classics, distributed by Warner, has a decent variety of '80s hits. It stretches the new wave's existence by a few years, including the Smiths' "How Soon Is Now," Erasure's "Chains of Love," and Siouxsie & the Banshees' "Kiss Them for Me" -- all of which were released after the era had drawn to a close. Undeniably ... see all copies from $14.95!
18 view cover	Mesopotamia (1982) more music like this by The B-52's see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.96!
19 view cover	You Ready for This? Music from the Extreme Games (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
20 view cover	Radio Free Music, Vol. 2 (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.63!
21 view cover	Slam Jams, Vol. 1 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
22	Roam (1989) more music like this by The B-52's "Roam" became the B-52's' second straight number three single, and for good reason -- while it may not be as unabashedly silly and infectious as "Love Shack," it is a well-crafted and irresistible pop song, highlighted by terrific vocals from Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson. As was the tradition of any major-label single from the late '80s, "Roam" ... see all copies from $2.00!
23 view cover	On the Edge [Razor & Tie] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Razor & Tie's On the Edge collects late-'80s/early-'90s alternative hits like the Pixies' "Here Comes Your Man," the La's "There She Goes," Elvis Costello's "Veronica," and Crowded House's "Don't Dream It's Over." REM's "Orange Crush," the Smiths' "How Soon Is Now," Jane's Addiction's "Been Caught Stealing," and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Higher ... see all copies from $1.99!
24 view cover	18 New Wave Classics, Vol. 2 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Much like the first volume of the series, 18 New Wave Classics, Vol. 2 doesn't offer a wholly appropriate selection of new wave singles; it takes a few too many liberties with the style's end (around 1984), but it does still contain a mostly enjoyable selection of '80s material. Non-new wave from the Smiths ("Girlfriend in a Coma"), Erasure ( ... see all copies from $2.19!
25 view cover	Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's, Vol. 3 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists One of the very best volumes in a generally superb series, the third volume of Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's ups the ante in every respect. The crossover hits are bigger, the cult hits better, the novelties weirder and funnier. Best of all, it remembers that new wave wasn't confined to new bands; it also includes semi-veterans ... see all copies from $9.99!
