1	Red Hot + Blue: A Tribute to Cole Porter (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Cole Porter did not die of AIDS, but he is generally acknowledged to have been at least bi-sexual, which seems to be the justification for assembling an AIDS charity album in which contemporary artists perform songs he wrote in the 1920s, ‘30s, ‘40s, and ‘50s. Producer/creators Leigh Blake and John Carlin (along with Steve Lillywhite, credited as ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $10.79!
2	Pure 80's (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Although there's nothing particularly out of the ordinary of Pure 80's, it nevertheless is a good, basic collection of 20 new wave hits, highlighted by such classics as "Hungry Like the Wolf," "Our House," "Relax," "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," "Video Killed the Radio Star," "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," and Soft Cell's timeless ... see all copies from $4.82! new only from $13.34!
3	Greatest Hits [Arista] (1996) more music like this by Thompson Twins During the '80s, Thompson Twins arguably produced the finest synth-pop singles, and Greatest Hits recollects their industrious years with Arista in clear, digitally remastered sound. Numerous collections exist in the Twins' catalog and nearly equal their studio albums, but Greatest Hits prevails as the most essential as it offers a definitive ... see all copies from $14.85! new only from $15.75!
4	I Want My 80's Box (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Released more or less in conjunction with MTV's 20th anniversary in 2001, this triple gatefold sleeve set ( not a box as the title implies), with an appropriately gaudy 27-page book, delivers 42 typical examples of songs associated with the music channel in its fledgling years. With 35 Top Ten tracks, ten of which topped the charts, there's no ... see all copies from $31.88! new only from $31.88!
5	Into the Gap (1984) more music like this by Thompson Twins Thompson Twins' atmospheric and moody 1984 album Into the Gap was their commercial breakthrough in the United States, and remains a classic as far as '80s new wave pop is concerned. Nearly every song on this set differed from the others, with each track taking the listener on a different musical journey. The song that cemented Thompson Twins as a ... see all copies from $5.98! new only from $8.00!
6	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!
7	Close to the Bone (1987) more music like this by Thompson Twins By the time the Thompson Twins recorded Close to the Bone, they were reduced to the duo of Tom Bailey and Alannah Currie, and they had abandoned new wave synth-pop for light funk-inflected dance-pop. Most of Close to the Bone is too sterile and predictable to be truly enjoyable, yet there are a handful of tracks that serve as a reminder that the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.48!
8	Living in Oblivion: The 80's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Like its predecessor, Living in Oblivion, Vol. 2 is an entertaining but frustrating collection of new wave and MTV hits from the early '80s. A number of great new wave singles are here -- "Mickey," "Love Plus One," "Just Got Lucky," "88 Lines About 44 Women," "Church of the Poison Mind" -- but the album loses momentum by placing slick late-'80s ... see all copies from $2.49!
9	VH1: More of the Big 80's (1997) more music like this by Various Artists The Big 80's, a half-hour of classic videos from the glory days of MTV, was one of VH1's most popular programs, so it wasn't a surprise that they decided to release a compilation of songs regularly featured on the show. Once that disc became a hit -- it was one of Rhino's biggest sellers in years -- VH1: More of the Big 80's was just around the ... see all copies from $6.48! new only from $16.52!
10	Platinum & Gold Collection (2003) more music like this by Thompson Twins In 1999, Arista made the Thompson Twins part of their "Arista Heritage" series with The Master Hits. This came three years after they issued Greatest Hits. And now that the label has their Platinum & Gold Collection series, they decided to anthologize the Thompson Twins for the third time in eight years. Though Platinum & Gold Collection is ... see all copies from $7.67! new only from $11.06!
11	Big Trash (1989) more music like this by Thompson Twins Big Trash was a successful attempt to add a stronger rhythmic sensibility to The Thompson Twins' sound, but the album failed to produce any hit bigger than the number 28 "Sugar Daddy," although there were several other strong numbers on the record. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.00! new only from $13.09!
12	Greatest Mixes: The Best of The Thompson Twins (1988) more music like this by Thompson Twins Released toward the end of the group's run on Arista, Greatest Mixes: The Best of the Thompson Twins really functions more as a retrospective than remix album. Although its ten songs do appear in a slightly tweaked format, adding more reverb and synthesizers to an already synth-soaked song such as "Doctor! Doctor!" doesn't necessarily distort the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $167.54!
13	Rock On 1986 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Volume 17 in Madacy's year-by-year overview of the biggest hits of the '70s and '80s is bookended by smashes from the Bangles, namely the classic "Manic Monday" and "Walk Like an Egyptian"; other highlights include the Fabulous Thunderbirds' "Tuff Enuff," Belinda Carlisle's "Mad About You" and the Moody Blues' "Your Wildest Dreams." Chuck ... see all copies from $4.75! new only from $7.75!
14 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 $3.98! new only from $11.06!
15 view cover	Queer (1991) more music like this by Thompson Twins With Queer, the Thompson Twins began incorporating current dance trends, particularly the dense, pyschedelic Manchester sound of the Happy Mondays. It is an ambitious effort, but it isn't entirely successful -- the group doesn't work the groove as effectively as the Madchester groups, nor do they come up with a catchy dance-pop tune. Instead, you ... see all copies from $4.88!
16	Play with Me (Jane) (1992) more music like this by Thompson Twins see all copies from $8.00! new only from $88.13!
17 view cover	Living in Oblivion: The 80's Greatest Hits, Vol. 4 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Living in Oblivion, Vol. 4 continues the downward spiral of the series. There's little rhyme or reason to the song selection on the disc, as it jumps from new wave to goth-rock to mainstream rock to alternative. That scattershot approach prevents the album from being a cohesive listen, but the disc does contain several classics, including "Dance ... see all copies from $4.99!
18 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 $16.52! new only from $16.52!
19 view cover	Here's to Future Days (1985) more music like this by Thompson Twins see all copies from $1.99! new only from $18.75!
20 view cover	Greatest Hits [BMG/RCA] (2003) more music like this by Thompson Twins see all copies from $12.33! new only from $12.33!
21 view cover	Rock of the 80's, Vol. 2 [CEMA] (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Cema's Rock of the 80's, Vol. 2 is devoted to ten tracks drawn from the ranks of new wave. It is a pretty solid but brief assortment of tracks including classics like ABC's "The Look of Love, Pt. 1," Thompson Twins' "Hold Me Now," Romeo Void's "Never Say Never" and Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me With Science." Someone looking for a low-cost, bare ... see all copies from $5.45!
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 $6.98! new only from $49.95!
23	Side Kicks (1983) more music like this by Thompson Twins Side Kicks is the American version of the Thompson Twins' third album, Quick Step & Side Kick, featuring the same songs in a different sequencing. The record was the first the group recorded as a trio and, not coincidentally, it finds them discovering their signature dance-inflected synth-pop sound. The singles "Love on Your Side" and "In the Name ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.00!
24	In the Name of Love (1982) more music like this by Thompson Twins The most important song on the Thompson Twins' first U.S. release was one of those brilliant accidents that make pop music an always-entertaining crapshoot. In The Name of Love is a re-released version of the band's first two British albums, A Product Of... and Set, and is filled with the skewed guitar pop that had become the band's early ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $22.50!
25 view cover	MTV Class of 1983 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists The double-disc MTV Class of 1983 attempts to distill the essence of early MTV to 30 tracks from the biggest names and most popular one-hit wonders of that year. The approach works remarkably well, as the compilation features many new wave classics that effortlessly evoke 1983. The sheer size of MTV Class of 1983 distinguishes it from other new ... see all copies from $20.00!
