1	Like This (1984) more music like this by The dB's From the opening notes of "Love Is for Lovers," this is obviously no ordinary dB's record. The group, now pared down to a trio fronted by Peter Holsapple, have stripped away the arty quirks of the first two albums, opting instead for straight-ahead, rootsy rockers and country-rock romps. Amid the more muscular, guitar-based sound, Holsapple turns ... see all copies from $11.31! new only from $11.31!
2	D.I.Y.: Shake It Up: American Power Pop II (1978-80) (1993) more music like this by Various Artists In general, the songs on D.I.Y.: Shake It Up: American Power Pop II are a little lighter and bouncier than those on its predecessor Come Out and Play, but since there was always an element of sweetness in power pop anyway, that difference will matter to only a handful of listeners. Shake It Up still shares many of the same characteristics of Come ... see all copies from $13.38!
3	Stands for Decibels/Repercussion [Collector's Choice] (2002) more music like this by The dB's Although it has already been released once before by Line Records, this one CD version of the first two dB's albums is a wonderful collection of what is arguably the band's finest hour. Featuring some gorgeous hooks and wonderful playing, there are few lulls in this excellent package. Fans may complain about pairing two albums that are strong ... see all copies from $14.74! new only from $14.74!
4	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!
5	Paris Avenue (1994) more music like this by The dB's With Paris Avenue, the dB's -- featuring only Peter Holsapple and Will Rigby from the band's original lineup -- effectively pick up right where they left off seven years earlier with The Sound of Music. While they're certainly past their groundbreaking days, Paris Avenue is a welcome return and serves as a good example of what good pop music is ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
6	The Sound of Music (1987) more music like this by The dB's The years between 1984 and 1987 were not a lot of fun for The dB's; Chris Stamey left the group shortly before they began work on Like This, forcing them to reinvent themselves as a trio with Peter Holsapple as leader, and shortly after the album was released, their record company, Bearsville Records, went out of business, killing the record's ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $68.55!
7	Stands for Decibels (1981) more music like this by The dB's On their debut, the dB's combined a reverence for British pop and arty, post-punk leanings that alternate between minimalism and a love of quirky embellishment, odd sounds, and unexpected twists; Stands for Decibels is clearly a collegiate pop experiment, but rarely is experimentation so enjoyable and irresistibly catchy. Singing and songwriting ... see all copies from $60.00!
8	CMJ the Year in Alternative Music 1981 (1998) more music like this by Various Artists The third volume in CMJ magazine's series documenting the roots of alternative rock spotlights the increasing diffusion of college radio playlists -- while tracks like X's "We're Desperate" and Black Flag's "Rise Above" continued carrying the flag for American punk and hardcore, in Britain the new trend was the emergence of synth-pop, with groups ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $10.38!
9	Christmas Time Again (2006) more music like this by The dB's For fans of smart, hooky pop who imagine the Carolinas to be the musical center of the universe, the Chris Stamey Group's 1986 holiday EP Christmas Time was a truly happening yuletide gift from the former leader of the dB's, and in 1993 the disc was reissued on CD in expanded form, with the track count jumping from seven to 16 tunes. In 2006, ... see all copies from $15.29! new only from $15.29!
10	Just in Time for Christmas (1990) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $7.00!
11	Repercussion (1982) more music like this by The dB's Repercussion is very much of a piece with the debut, repeating much of the same formula that made Stands for Decibels great -- terrific harmonies, winning melodies, and catchy hooks with subtle quirks thrown into the mix. This time, they feature a fuller, more polished sound, but the impact of the songs isn't diminished. Stamey left shortly after ... see all copies from $5.14!
12	Amplifier (1986) more music like this by The dB's Amplifier is a fourteen-track distillation of the first two dB's records. Even though the albums do work well together as a piece, the collection is largely unnecessary -- the converted will certainly need both albums in their entirety, and the fact is, there really isn't a casual dB's fan who needs a brief intro.
