1	University (1995) more music like this by Throwing Muses Possibly their finest album, Throwing Muses' fifth album, University, blends the rock power of Red Heaven, their first effort as a trio, with the shiny, surreal pop of The Real Ramona. The result is a collection of songs, like the album opener, "Bright Yellow Gun," that are as ferociously kinetic as they are insinuatingly melodic. At first, Tanya ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.65!
2	Hunkpapa (1990) more music like this by Throwing Muses On their third album, Hunkpapa, Throwing Muses' volatility settled into a jangly, angular style of college rock. Not quite as riveting as Throwing Muses or House Tornado and not quite as accessible as the band's later albums, Hunkpapa finds the Muses in transition; most of the album's songs just aren't as focused or powerful as their other work. ... see all copies from $9.20! new only from $9.20!
3	The Real Ramona (1991) more music like this by Throwing Muses The Real Ramona marked the perfect balance of Throwing Muses' angular songwriting and latent pop tendencies. Where Hunkpapa tried, somewhat unsuccessfully, to mix these elements, this album succeeds with surreal pop songs like "Counting Backwards" and "Red Shoes." They're catchy and riveting, clearly linked to the band's early material yet more ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.03!
4	Alterno-Daze: Natural Selection - '90s (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Rebound's Alterno-Daze: Natural Selection -- '90s attempts to offer a brief summary of post-punk, college-rock and alternative rock to kids turned onto alternative music through Nirvana or Green Day. Since it's a budget-priced compilation, it shouldn't be surprising that it clocks in at 12 tracks (ten on cassette) and occasionally gets it wrong -- ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
5	Just Say Anything: Volume V of Just Say Yes (1991) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.95!
6	Just Say Mao: Volume III of Just Say Yes (1989) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.71!
7	Just Say Yo: Vol. 2 of Just Say Yes (1988) more music like this by Various Artists Granted, the various volumes in the Just Say Yes series do sound like the final death cry of '80s rock, but there's a very good reason for that: They were the final death cry of '80s rock. What's interesting is how well some of them have held up, and how clearly, in retrospect, they foreshadowed some of the more exciting trends in '90s rock. On ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.95!
8	Limbo (1996) more music like this by Throwing Muses On the one hand, KRISTIN HERSH and mates are guilty of running in place: It's difficult to distinguish between the production and style of this LP with 1995's University. Indeed, one of Limbo's strongest efforts, "Ruthie's Knocking," sounds like a re-write of "Shimmer." Moreover, nothing grabs as much as the spine-tingling "Bright Yellow Gun" (the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.37!
9	House Tornado (1988) more music like this by Throwing Muses On their second album and first major-label release, Throwing Muses apply more polish, craft, and melody to the challenging style they forged on their debut. The pop sheen on songs like "Colder" and "Saving Grace" makes their sudden dynamic shifts and tempo changes more accessible without dulling them. Kristin Hersh finds ways to mold her complex ... see all copies from $13.08! new only from $13.08!
10	In a Doghouse (1998) more music like this by Throwing Muses Throwing Muses' classic first album was never released in the U.S., nor was their follow-up EP, Chains Changed. For well over a decade, the two records were only available as imports through 4AD, which meant that Throwing Muses, one of the most influential and individual albums of late-'80s alternative rock, was very hard for anyone outside of ... see all copies from $14.00! new only from $18.00!
11 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 $7.95!
12 view cover	Red Heaven (1992) more music like this by Throwing Muses Undaunted by the departure of Tanya Donelly to form her own group, Belly, Kristen Hersh continued Throwing Muses as a trio on the band's fourth album, Red Heaven. The pared-down lineup gives rock songs like "Furious" and "Backroad" a more powerful, muscular sound and pop tracks like "Dirty Water" and "Firepile" a crisp, spacious feel. Overall, Red ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $9.99!
13 view cover	Just Say Yes: Sire's Winter CD Music Sampler (1987) more music like this by Various Artists Samplers are often throwaways, their contents quickly and mindlessly tossed together to promote a label's latest releases. Just Say Yes: Sire's Winter CD Music Sampler may have been produced to woo record buyers into purchasing albums by cult artists, but it offers a wealth of new wave rarities that significantly transcends its original purpose. ... see all copies from $5.95!
14 view cover	Lonely Is an Eyesore (1987) more music like this by Various Artists If the artsy British independent label 4AD has a calling card, it's 1987's Lonely Is an Eyesore. Featuring many exclusive selections from their late-'80s staples, you get tribal mysticism from Dead Can Dance ("Frontier," "The Protagonist"), fractured pop mysticism from Throwing Muses ("Fish"), dream pop mysticism from the Cocteau Twins ("Crushed") ... see all copies from $11.27! new only from $11.27!
15	Ruthie's Knocking (1996) more music like this by Throwing Muses see all copies from $7.95! new only from $8.00!
16 view cover	This Is Fort Apache (1995) more music like this by Various Artists This is Fort Apache was a collection of songs by artists who had released records on the Fort Apache label. It is also a very predictable collection of 1990s alternative rock. Not that the songs are bad by any means, but they certainly don't break any new ground. Juliana Hatfield sounds exactly as one would expect on "Here Comes the Pain," Buffalo ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $4.37!
17 view cover	Out Loud (1995) more music like this by Various Artists This compilation brings together an eclectic mix of major-label artists and up-and-coming artists stepping forward with powerful recordings about freedom, dignity and honesty -- all to benefit the International Gay & Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC). Rare tracks from U2 and Throwing Muses are included, as well as contributions from ... see all copies from $7.00!
18	The Fat Skier (1988) more music like this by Throwing Muses Throwing Muses' 1988 The Fat Skier EP finds the group embracing an even more pop-oriented sound than that year's album, House Tornado. However, songs like the untamed, galloping "Soap and Water" and "Garoux des Larmes" -- which sounds like it was influenced by the band's friendship with the Pixies -- remain far outside the mainstream. "A Feeling" ... see all copies from $8.00!
19	Bright Yellow Gun (1995) more music like this by Throwing Muses Arguably the strongest in a long line of singles aimed at breaking Throwing Muses to a larger audience, "Bright Yellow Gun" is a hypnotic, guitar-driven track that succinctly encapsulates the energy and aquatic overtones of the landmark University LP, from which it was culled. The 'Muses, like Suede and the Smiths, were never the band to stock ... see all copies from $1.99!
20 view cover	House Tornado/The Fat Skier (1987) more music like this by Throwing Muses see all copies from $11.55! new only from $22.24!
21 view cover	Throwing Muses [2003] (2003) more music like this by Throwing Muses Throwing Muses were anomalous long before they came back to 4AD to record their second self-titled album. By 1996's Limbo, they were a rare band that had continued to make vibrant and vital music well after a decade of existence. And now they're even more of a rare case; several years after that last album, they have returned with their loudest, ... see all copies from $10.19! new only from $10.19!
22	Dizzy (1989) more music like this by Throwing Muses see all copies from $25.00!
23	Saving Grace (1988) more music like this by Throwing Muses Released in 1988, the Saving Grace 12" was the first and only single from the Throwing Muses' first domestically released LP, House Tornado. "Saving Grace" is an intense, albeit somewhat obtuse song that was representative for Hersh and company in the mid- to early '80s. The band had already turned heads with their self-titled debut import LP and ... see all copies from $12.00!
