1	Raising Sand (2007) more music like this by Robert Plant/Alison Krauss What seems to be an unlikely pairing in the duo of former -- and future apparently -- Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant and bluegrass superstar Alison Krauss is actually one of the most effortless-sounding pairings in modern popular music. The bridge seems to be producer T-Bone Burnett and the band assembled for this outing: drummer Jay Bellerose ... see all copies from $8.49! new only from $8.49!
2	American Idiot (2004) more music like this by Green Day It's a bit tempting to peg Green Day's sprawling, ambitious, brilliant seventh album, American Idiot, as their version of a Who album, the next logical step forward from the Kinks-inspired popcraft of their underrated 2000 effort, Warning, but things aren't quite that simple. American Idiot is an unapologetic, unabashed rock opera, a form that ... see all copies from $3.29! new only from $10.32!
3	As I Am (2007) more music like this by Alicia Keys By now established as a major and talented force in the mainstream music world, Alicia Keys has perhaps earned the right to explore a little, to venture into new genres while still keeping a foot firmly planted in the R&B/neo-soul she grew out of. On her third full-length, As I Am, Keys takes a step closer toward the soul revival popularized by ... see all copies from $7.70! new only from $7.74!
4	The Reminder (2007) more music like this by Feist When Leslie Feist released her breakthrough Let It Die, almost instantly she became an indie icon. Her pretty, sometimes melancholic love songs, her clear, campfire voice, her vaguely jazz- and disco-influenced arrangements (highlighted no better than with her cover of the Bee Gees' "Inside and Out"), and her association with darlings Broken ... see all copies from $8.79! new only from $8.79!
5	Shine (2007) more music like this by Joni Mitchell Shine, recorded and released in 2007, is the sign from the heavens that Joni Mitchell has come out of retirement. She left in the early part of the century, railing against a music industry that only cared about "golf and rappers," accusing it of virtually every artistic crime under the sun. So the irony that she signed to Hear Music, Starbucks' ... see all copies from $5.28! new only from $16.15!
6	Ten (1991) more music like this by Pearl Jam Nirvana's Nevermind may have been the album that broke grunge and alternative rock into the mainstream, but there's no underestimating the role that Pearl Jam's Ten played in keeping them there. Nirvana's appeal may have been huge, but it wasn't universal; rock radio still viewed them as too raw and punky, and some hard rock fans dismissed them as ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $12.69!
7	Songbird (1998) more music like this by Eva Cassidy Though many recording artists meld and straddle a variety of genres, few if any defy categorization by excelling in so many disparate styles as the late Eva Cassidy. The diverse offerings from the evocative thrush from Washington, D.C. -- who died tragically of melanoma in 1996 at age 33 -- run the gamut from the radio-friendly pop cover of Sting ... see all copies from $9.27! new only from $11.97!
8	Coco (2007) more music like this by Colbie Caillat Sweetness rules on Colbie Caillat's debut, Coco, which is perhaps only appropriate for an album bearing that name, but the record doesn't play like a toasty mug of chocolate on a winter's day, it's a sugary lemonade on a breezy summer afternoon. It's light and comforting, a familiar blend of sunny pop and singer/songwriter tropes that flirt with ... see all copies from $6.60! new only from $13.99!
9	Nevermind (1991) more music like this by Nirvana Nevermind was never meant to change the world, but you can never predict when the zeitgeist will hit, and Nirvana's second album turned out to be the place where alternative rock crashed into the mainstream. This wasn't entirely an accident, either, since Nirvana did sign with a major label, and they did release a record with a shiny surface, no ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $13.15!
10	Jagged Little Pill (1995) more music like this by Alanis Morissette It's remarkable that Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill struck a sympathetic chord with millions of listeners, because it's so doggedly, determinedly insular. This, after all, plays like an emotional purging, prompted by a bitter relationship -- and, according to all the lyrical hints, that's likely a record executive who took advantage of a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.98!
11 view cover	The Sweet Escape (2006) more music like this by Gwen Stefani Awkward and alluring in equal measures, Gwen Stefani's 2004 solo debut, Love.Angel.Music.Baby., did its job: it made Gwen a bigger star on her own than she was as the lead singer of No Doubt. With that established and her long-desired wish for a baby finally fulfilled, there was no rush for Gwen to get back to her regular gig, so she made another ... see all copies from $3.25! new only from $4.36!
12 view cover	A Day Without Rain (2000) more music like this by Enya Enya's first full-length album of new material in five years (and her fourth in 12 years) will have a familiar sound to the millions who have followed her career so far. As usual, the slow songs sound like "Silent Night" being performed in a cathedral, and the less slow songs are paced by rhythm patterns that would be called pizzicato passages if ... see all copies from $2.15! new only from $11.00!
13 view cover	Surfacing (1997) more music like this by Sarah McLachlan Surfacing was released as the first Lilith Fair tour hit the road, and Sarah McLachlan benefited enormously from the timing. As the organizer of Lilith Fair, McLachlan was on the cover of magazines across America and Canada, which helped Surfacing debut at number two on the U.S. charts -- a particularly remarkable feat since its predecessor, ... see all copies from $3.78! new only from $12.69!
14 view cover	I'm Not There (2007) more music like this by Original Soundtrack For his impressionistic 2007 Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There, director Todd Haynes hired an army of six actors to portray the singer/songwriter, each thespian representing a different phase or public persona of Dylan's career. The accompanying double-disc soundtrack -- not all of its 34 songs are used in the film -- employs a similar conceit, as ... see all copies from $12.09! new only from $17.76!
15 view cover	Room for Squares (2001) more music like this by John Mayer Two years after his full-length debut, Inside Wants Out, singer/songwriter and guitarist John Mayer recorded this sophomore offering, Room for Squares. The album was produced by John Alagía. The producer had worked with artist Dave Matthews on a few albums first and those influences show through clearly on this recording, taking it in a somewhat ... see all copies from $3.78! new only from $6.59!
16 view cover	Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces (2007) more music like this by Seether see all copies from $16.49! new only from $16.49!
17 view cover	It Won't Be Soon Before Long (2007) more music like this by Maroon 5 Maroon 5's 2002 debut album, Songs About Jane, was the kind of hit that doesn't happen often in the new millennium -- a genuine word-of-mouth hit whose popularity grew steadily after its release, largely due to the sweet, sunny hit "This Love," a song sly and catchy enough to stay on the adult pop charts for years without wearing out its welcome. ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $7.95!
18 view cover	No Angel (1999) more music like this by Dido The title notwithstanding, this debut from the former Faithless singer is pretty angelic-sounding stuff. You're bound to think of Sinéad O'Connor, but the comparison is as misleading as it is inevitable. Granted, Dido's ethereal vocals here frequently recall O'Connor; but Dido's music -- while inventively augmented with electronics -- is generally ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.69!
19 view cover	Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace (2007) more music like this by Foo Fighters It's not quite right to say that the Foo Fighters only have one sound, but why does it always feel like the group constantly mines the same sonic vein? Even on 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace -- their sixth album and first with producer Gil Norton since their second, 1997's The Colour and the Shape -- the Foos feel familiar, although ... see all copies from $6.04! new only from $16.06!
20 view cover	Heavier Things (2003) more music like this by John Mayer Don't take the title of John Mayer's Heavier Things literally. Mayer offers nothing heavy on the follow-up to his breakthrough hit, Room for Squares -- nothing heavy in the music and nothing heavy in the lyrics. No, Mayer is smooth, slick, and streamlined on his second or third album (it all depends if you count his 1999 debut, Inside Wants Out, ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $12.69!
21 view cover	Paint the Sky with Stars: The Best of Enya (1997) more music like this by Enya Paint the Sky With Stars: The Best of Enya is an excellent 16-song overview of Enya's career, containing 14 selections from The Celts, Watermark, Shepherd Moon, and The Memory of Trees -- including "Caribbean Blue," "Anywhere Is," "Marble Halls," "Book of Days," and, of course, "Orinoco Flow" -- as well as two previously unreleased songs ("Only If ... see all copies from $3.27! new only from $16.57!
22 view cover	Careless Love (2004) more music like this by Madeleine Peyroux Why it took vocalist Madeleine Peyroux eight years to follow up her acclaimed Dreamland album is anybody's guess. The explanation from her website bio claims, "I could have kept running with it, but I took a breather." Really it hardly matters, since there have been plenty of capable singers to fill that void. Produced by Larry Klein, Careless ... see all copies from $8.50! new only from $15.98!
23 view cover	DAUGHTRY (2006) more music like this by DAUGHTRY Everything that made Chris Daughtry insufferable as a contestant on American Idol -- his utter lack of humor, his oppressive earnestness, his desire to sing every song in the same gut-wrenching fashion, a style that only suited the post-grunge brooding that is his chosen specialty -- work for him on his post-Idol debut album, Daughtry. Technically ... see all copies from $16.49! new only from $16.49!
24	Sympathique [Reissue] (1997) more music like this by Pink Martini Pink Martini's debut album incorporates an impressive variety of influences; traces of Cuban music, cabaret and film soundtracks are all discernible on Sympathetique, an intriguing blend of contemporary pop painted with brass, strings and percussion. [This reissue returns to the CD's original ten-song track list.] Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $11.88! new only from $15.67!
25 view cover	Grace (1994) more music like this by Jeff Buckley Jeff Buckley was many things, but humble wasn't one of them. Grace is an audacious debut album, filled with sweeping choruses, bombastic arrangements, searching lyrics, and above all, the richly textured voice of Buckley himself, which resembled a cross between Robert Plant, Van Morrison, and his father Tim. And that's a fair starting point for ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
