1	Songs in the Key of Life (1976) more music like this by Stevie Wonder Songs in the Key of Life was Stevie Wonder's longest, most ambitious collection of songs, a two-LP (plus accompanying EP) set that -- just as the title promised -- touched on nearly every issue under the sun, and did it all with ambitious (even for him), wide-ranging arrangements and some of the best performances of Wonder's career. The opening ... see all copies from $5.23! new only from $27.05!
2	Thriller (1982) more music like this by Michael Jackson Off the Wall was a massive success, spawning four Top Ten hits (two of them number ones), but nothing could have prepared Michael Jackson for Thriller. Nobody could have prepared anybody for the success of Thriller, since the magnitude of its success was simply unimaginable -- an album that sold 40 million copies in its initial chart run, with ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $16.59!
3	Purple Rain (1984) more music like this by Prince & the Revolution Prince designed Purple Rain as the project that would make him a superstar, and, surprisingly, that is exactly what happened. Simultaneously more focused and ambitious than any of his previous records, Purple Rain finds Prince consolidating his funk and R&B roots while moving boldly into pop, rock, and heavy metal with nine superbly crafted songs. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.50!
4	Greatest Hits (1998) more music like this by Earth, Wind & Fire Columbia's 1998 collection of Earth, Wind & Fire's Greatest Hits in many ways stands as the group's definitive compilation. Even though there have been more extensive overviews of the group's work, such as the triple-disc set The Eternal Dance, this is the first collection to contain all of the group's biggest hits on one disc. All but one ("Love ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $10.99!
5	Definitive Collection (2002) more music like this by Stevie Wonder When you're putting together a 21-song collection of a major artist who's had more than 40 Top 40 hits, inevitably there's going to be a lot of good stuff left out. Stevie Wonder's long and varied career (not over when this anthology appeared) really needs more than one disc to even adequately summarize the highlights. But this single-disc comp ... see all copies from $9.26! new only from $12.94!
6	Talking Book (1972) more music like this by Stevie Wonder After releasing two "head" records during 1970-71, Stevie Wonder expanded his compositional palate with 1972's Talking Book to include societal ills as well as tender love songs, and so recorded the first smash album of his career. What had been hinted at on the intriguing project Music of My Mind was here focused into a laser beam of tight ... see all copies from $5.23! new only from $8.57!
7	Number Ones (2003) more music like this by Michael Jackson Since Michael Jackson botched his first hits collection by pairing it with a new album of material in a double-disc set, making it considerably less attractive for those legions of listeners who want just a single disc of hits, it's both inevitable and welcome that he attempted another compilation a few years later. This second collection, Number ... see all copies from $10.32! new only from $10.32!
8	Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus (1970) more music like this by Spirit Although Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus has the reputation of being Spirit's most far-out album, it actually contains the most disciplined songwriting and playing of the original lineup, cutting back on some of the drifting and offering some of their more melodic tunes. The lilting "Nature's Way" was the most endearing FM standard on the album, ... see all copies from $3.13! new only from $11.06!
9	Hotter Than July (1980) more music like this by Stevie Wonder Four years after the pinnacle of Stevie Wonder's mid-'70s typhoon of classic albums, Hotter Than July was the proper follow-up to Songs in the Key of Life (his Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants concept record was actually a soundtrack to an obscure movie that fared miserably in theaters). It also found Wonder in a different musical climate ... see all copies from $5.85! new only from $8.24!
10	Innervisions (1973) more music like this by Stevie Wonder When Stevie Wonder applied his tremendous songwriting talents to the unsettled social morass that was the early '70s, he produced one of his greatest, most important works, a rich panoply of songs addressing drugs, spirituality, political ethics, the unnecessary perils of urban life, and what looked to be the failure of the '60s dream -- all set ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $10.50!
11 view cover	Sign 'O' the Times (1987) more music like this by Prince Fearless, eclectic, and defiantly messy, Prince's Sign 'O' the Times falls into the tradition of tremendous, chaotic double albums like The Beatles, Exile on Main St., and London Calling -- albums that are fantastic because of their overreach, their great sprawl. Prince shows nearly all of his cards here, from bare-bones electro-funk and smooth ... see all copies from $2.34! new only from $22.26!
12 view cover	1999 (1983) more music like this by Prince With Dirty Mind, Prince had established a wild fusion of funk, rock, new wave, and soul that signaled he was an original, maverick talent, but it failed to win him a large audience. After delivering the sound-alike album, Controversy, Prince revamped his sound and delivered the double album 1999. Where his earlier albums had been a fusion of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.11!
13 view cover	Gratitude (1975) more music like this by Earth, Wind & Fire With That's the Way of the World having made Earth, Wind & Fire one of the best-selling soul bands of the 1970s, Maurice White and co. had no problem filling large arenas. As dynamic as EWF was on-stage, it's a shame that there isn't more documentation of the band's live show. Only one live EWF album was released by a major label in America, the ... see all copies from $8.39! new only from $11.06!
14 view cover	Gold Experience (1995) more music like this by Prince Prince changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol in 1993, but it wasn't until 1995 that he actually released a record credited to that symbol. During those two years, he released a greatest-hits collection, an official version of his much-bootlegged Black Album, and a final Prince album, the lackluster Come. Throughout 1994, he pressured ... see all copies from $13.00! new only from $38.49!
15 view cover	By the Way (2002) more music like this by Red Hot Chili Peppers The Red Hot Chili Peppers' eighth studio album finds the California foursome exploring the more melodic freeways of harmony and texture, contrasting the gritty, funky side streets of their early days. Luckily, with this more sophisticated sound, the Peppers have not sacrificed any of their trademark energy or passions for life, universal love, and ... see all copies from $2.79! new only from $16.85!
16 view cover	Red Hot + Blue: A Tribute to Cole Porter (1991) more music like this by Various Artists A fitfully entertaining collection of contemporary pop stars interpreting classic Cole Porter songs, Red Hot + Blue highlights include U2, Sinead O'Connor, Kirsty MacColl & the Pogues, Neneh Cherry, and David Byrne, but the best part of the disc is the wonderfully campy duet between Deborah Harry and Iggy Pop on "Well Did You Evah." All Music ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $11.13!
17 view cover	Around the World in a Day (1985) more music like this by Prince & the Revolution Purple Rain made Prince sound like he could do anything, but it still didn't prepare even his most fervent fans for the insular psychedelia of Around the World in a Day. Prince had made his interior world sound fascinating and utopian on Purple Rain, but Around the World in a Day is filled with cryptic religious imagery, bizarre mysticism, and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.23!
18 view cover	Fulfillingness' First Finale (1974) more music like this by Stevie Wonder After the righteous anger and occasional despair of the socially motivated Innervisions, Stevie Wonder returned with a relationship record: Fulfillingness' First Finale. The cover pictures his life as an enormous wheel, part of which he's looking ahead to and part of which he's already completed (the latter with accompanying images of Little ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $8.11!
19 view cover	Pulp Fiction (1994) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino's darkly funny crime classic Pulp Fiction manages to re-create the film's wildly careening sense of style, violence, and humor by concentrating on the surf music that comprises the bulk of the movie's incidental music and adding a few sexy oldies integral to the film's story ("Let's Stay Together," "Son of a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.34!
20 view cover	C'est Chic (1978) more music like this by Chic Released in 1978, just as disco began to peak, C'est Chic and its pair of dancefloor anthems, "Le Freak" and "I Want Your Love," put Chic at the top of that dizzying peak. The right album at the right time, C'est Chic is essentially a rehash of Chic, the group's so-so self-titled debut from a year earlier. That first album also boasted a pair of ... see all copies from $5.02! new only from $9.55!
21 view cover	Head Hunters (1973) more music like this by Herbie Hancock Head Hunters was a pivotal point in Herbie Hancock's career, bringing him into the vanguard of jazz fusion. Hancock had pushed avant-garde boundaries on his own albums and with Miles Davis, but he had never devoted himself to the groove as he did on Head Hunters. Drawing heavily from Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield, and James Brown, Hancock developed ... see all copies from $5.25! new only from $8.57!
22 view cover	Them Changes (1970) more music like this by Buddy Miles This 1970 release by former Band of Gypsy's drummer Buddy Miles is, quite simply, one of the great lost treasures of soul inspired rock music. From the funky drive of the title track to Miles' plaintive singing on "I Still Love You, Anyway" and Greg Allman's "Dreams," the album is filled with the best qualities of both genres. Not only does Miles ... see all copies from $4.24! new only from $18.22!
23 view cover	The Hits 2 (1993) more music like this by Prince Like Hits 1, Hits 2 presents a cross section of some of Prince's biggest hits and most notorious songs, including "Dirty Mind," "I Wanna Be Your Lover," "Head," "Delirious," "Little Red Corvette," "I Would Die 4 U," "Raspberry Beret," "Kiss," "U Got the Look," "Cream," and "Purple Rain." Two new tracks, "Peach" and "The Pope," are included among ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $16.85!
24 view cover	Cold Blood/Sisyphus (2001) more music like this by Cold Blood A straight, no-frills-or-bonus-tracks reissue of Cold Blood's first two albums from 1969 and 1971 on one CD, these 13 tracks make a case for the band as one of the better "lost" groups of the late-'60s San Francisco scene. Gutsy-voiced singer Lydia Pense had her Janis Joplin schtick down-pat, and even though the group was fraught with the usual ... see all copies from $12.01! new only from $12.01!
25 view cover	The Best of War and More (1991) more music like this by War It's not a perfect compilation by any means -- there's no "The World Is a Ghetto" and a bad remix of "Low Rider," for starters -- but it's an important release from this influential band. The original vinyl was definitive.. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.80! new only from $10.79!
