1	Modern Lovers 88 (1988) more music like this by Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers add to wishlist One of his better '80s efforts, and certainly one of the most basic, performed in an acoustic trio format. It's nonetheless quite rocking, with heavy debts to doo wop and Bo Diddley rhythms, and a jolly (though not sappy) summertime campfire feel. Some of his best uptempo tunes are here, including "I Love Hot Nights," "California Desert Party," ... see all copies from $14.58! new only from $14.58!
2	This Is Where I Belong: The Songs of Ray Davies (2002) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist As tribute albums go, This Is Where I Belong: The Songs of Ray Davies and the Kinks achieves pop/rock perfection. Cobbled together by NBC television's Late Night With Conan O'Brien talent coordinator Jim Pitt, this collection wisely focuses on the Kinks' cherished album chestnuts as opposed to the well-worn hits that have either been a staple on ... see all copies from $12.19! new only from $13.99!
3	Jonathan Richman (1989) more music like this by Jonathan Richman add to wishlist As basic and bare-bones as its title, Jonathan Richman is a solo effort modeled after Richman's live show, spotlighting only his voice, guitar and percussive foot stomping. An eclectic mixture of originals and covers (occasionally sung in either French or Spanish), the record's simplicity is its charm; the high point, "I Eat With Gusto, Damn! You ... see all copies from $9.88! new only from $13.80!
4	I, Jonathan (1992) more music like this by Jonathan Richman add to wishlist A lo-fi effort cut in a California basement, I, Jonathan returns Richman to the full band setting and manic diversity that recent conceptual efforts have forsaken. Sloppy and wild, the album is a blast from start to finish; among its many concerns are skydiving ("Tandem Jump"), sea life (the surf instrumental "Grunion Run"), nightclubbing ("I Was ... see all copies from $13.38! new only from $14.58!
5	I'm So Confused (1998) more music like this by Jonathan Richman add to wishlist Ric Ocasek steps in to produce a lush-sounding record for Jonathan Richman, employing quirky keyboards, percussive effects and background vocalists. "Nineteen in Naples" is one of his typical, naive travelogues: "When I was 19, I went across the pond and I found myself in the demimonde." But his charming nasal voice seems to have all but ... see all copies from $12.89! new only from $12.89!
6	Jonathan Goes Country (1990) more music like this by Jonathan Richman add to wishlist The Skeletons' Lou Whitney and D. Clinton Thompson as well as a number of seasoned session vets join Richman as he ventures into Nashville territory. The material consists of a batch of originals, a few covers and a couple of old songs reworked from 1983's Jonathan Sings! The music's country affectations are entertaining without being gimmicky, ... see all copies from $14.58! new only from $14.58!
7	Having a Party with Jonathan Richman (1991) more music like this by Jonathan Richman add to wishlist Combining studio and live recordings, this Party is a rather quiet affair with just Jonathan and his guitar. Richman is more pensive than usual; while interpersonal dynamics remain his primary focus, his thoughts turn to relatively serious examinations of adultery ("My Career as a Homewrecker") and commitment ("Just for Fun"). Similarly, the ... see all copies from $16.91! new only from $16.91!
8	Not So Much to Be Loved as to Love (2004) more music like this by Jonathan Richman add to wishlist Jonathan Richman has been slowly but surely maturing, which nearly 30 years after the first Modern Lovers album shouldn't be much of a surprise, but it is a wee bit startling to hear the guy who wrote "Ice Cream Man" and "Chewing Gun Wrapper" finally sounding like a full-fledged adult with the advent of the 21st century. Released in 2004, Not So ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $6.75!
9	Action Packed: The Best of Jonathan Richman (2002) more music like this by Jonathan Richman add to wishlist Following the dissolution of the Modern Lovers, Jonathan Richman ended up recording seven albums for the folk label Rounder Records. The not-so-unusual alliance resulted in a new/old sound for Richman and the results are readily evident on the collection Action Packed: The Best of Jonathan Richman. Unlike the noise and sneer barrage the Lovers ... see all copies from $13.75! new only from $13.75!
10	Surrender to Jonathan (1996) more music like this by Jonathan Richman add to wishlist Surrender to Jonathan was Richman's return to a major label, and he constructed the album as a showcase of his finest, or at least most notorious, songs of the early '90s. "Egyptian Reggae" and "I Was Dancing in the Lesbian Bar" are hauled out of the woodwork and given moderately polished reworkings by Andy Paley. Even with the slicker sound, ... see all copies from $13.66! new only from $13.66!
11	Jonathan, Te Vas a Emocionar! (1994) more music like this by Jonathan Richman add to wishlist Although Richman's vocals have intermittently slipped into foreign tongues for years, Jonathan, Te Vas a Emocionar! is still a surprise: entirely sung in Spanish, the record is a charmer, transcending the language barrier with ease. Along with a few new originals and a handful of traditional Mexican tunes, the album primarily consists of loose ... see all copies from $15.19! new only from $15.19!
12	The Inner Flame: Rainer Ptacek Tribute (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Combining two currently popular trends in compilation albums, this disc is both a tribute record and a charity project, the subject in each case being singer/songwriter/guitarist Rainer Ptácek, a friend of Robert Plant, who has recorded several of his songs as B-sides. The German-born Ptácek grew up in Chicago and now lives in Tucson, where he ... see all copies from $1.99!
13	John Peel Sub Pop Sessions (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Radio show host John Peel is known for his great taste in music and open forum for musicians to showcase their music. This compilation of Sub Pop artists performing songs on his British radio program is a great example of the strong performances he can get in his studio setting. Mudhoney starts with the magnificent "By Her Own Hand," a dark ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
14	Rock N Roll (2004) more music like this by Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers add to wishlist see all copies from $50.00!
15	Songs for Summer (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Songs for Summer is a 15-track compilation of alt-rock artists in tribute and honor of Summer Brannin, a 21-year old kidney cancer victim from San Diego who passed away in 1999. This album was created by her boyfriend Adam Gimbel, and with his friend Adam, he thought of creating a charity in memory of Summer. All of the artists on the album were ... see all copies from $1.99!
16	Roadrunner (2000) more music like this by Jonathan Richman add to wishlist see all copies from $11.96!
17	23 Great Recordings by Jonathan Richman ... (1990) more music like this by Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers add to wishlist see all copies from $60.45!
18	Chart Hits of the 70's: In the Summertime (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Chart Hits of the 70's: In the Summertime is a U.K.-centric collection featuring several worthwhile hits, including Mungo Jerry's "In the Summertime," Carl Douglas' "Kung Fu Fighting," Bonnie Tyler's "It's a Heartache," and Status Quo's "Down the Dustpipe." The collection isn't representative of all the '70s musical trends, but it is interesting ... see all copies from $69.80! new only from $69.80!
19	Radio On/Stop & Shop with the Modern Lovers (1998) more music like this by Jonathan Richman add to wishlist see all copies from $9.90!
20	The Best of Jonathan Richman (1980) more music like this by Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99!
21	Home of the Hits!: The Best of Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Sanctuary/Castle's Home of the Hits!: The Best of Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers is an odd, and oddly satisfying, double-disc collection. The first disc is the one that lives up to the title, containing 20 selections from Richman's recordings for Beserkley, including five selections from the classic first Modern Lovers album from 1971 ( ... see all copies from $6.98!
22	Live From 6A: Late Night With Conan O'Brien (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Live from 6A: Late Night with Conan O'Brien compiles 12 previously unreleased musical performances from the late-night variety show. The show's musical tastes tend toward the quirky and adventurous side of alternative rock -- O'Brien himself prefers rockabilly and Jonathan Richman, who is indeed showcased here -- and this collection is ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.99!
23	Because Her Beauty Is Raw and Wild (2008) more music like this by Jonathan Richman add to wishlist Jonathan Richman closes his 20th album, 2008's Because Her Beauty Is Raw and Wild, with "As My Mother Lay Lying," a simple, emotionally powerful song in which he sings about sitting with his mother as she hovered near death in a home for the elderly, and how much he continued to learn from her even in her final moments. It's a singular piece of ... see all copies from $6.87! new only from $6.87!
24	Her Mystery Not of High Heels and Eye Shadow (2001) more music like this by Jonathan Richman add to wishlist Jonathan Richman's 19th album doesn't sport the raw passion of his debut with the Modern Lovers, nor does it showcase his vastly underestimated songwriting skills as superbly as prior solo albums like I, Jonathan and You Must Ask The Heart. It's just another exploration of the lovable troubadour's longstanding obsessions: the places he's been ( ... see all copies from $10.06! new only from $10.06!
25	Vampire Girl: Essential Recordings (2009) more music like this by Jonathan Richman add to wishlist Notorious New York cult singer/songwriter David Roter was once called "an unholy confluence of Woody Allen and Lou Reed." Though Jonathan Richman is a well-known devotee of Reed and the Velvet Underground himself, he might best be termed "an unholy confluence of Pee Wee Herman and Sha Na Na." Starting with his band the Modern Lovers, Richman ... see all copies from $6.83! new only from $6.83!
