1	Let Me Clear My Throat (1996) more music like this by DJ Kool DJ Kool's Let Me Clear My Throat was one of the most invigorating hip-hop records of the mid-'90s, simply because it didn't follow conventional hardcore, alternative, or gangsta rap patterns. Instead, DJ Kool returned to the wild, careening atmosphere of freestyle, old-school hip-hop, anchoring the rhymes with spare scratching and elastic reggae ... see all copies from $8.74! new only from $14.99!

5	This Is a Journey...Into Time (1991) more music like this by Chuck Brown Given the music's focus on live performance, most go-go bands with any longevity have several live albums in their catalogs, and D.C. go-go institution Chuck Brown is no exception. While not his finest live outing, This Is a Journey...Into Time is a pretty good representation of what Brown and his Soul Searchers can do onstage. It has the sound of ... see all copies from $35.96! new only from $35.96!
6	Livin' Large (1989) more music like this by E.U. Go-go is a musical form some have figured to be chart-resistant, thanks to its propensity for extended jams as heavy on percussion as melody. But with the smash 1988 single "Da Butt," E.U. proved that go-go could cross over, and this follow-up album was crafted to drive that point home. Overseen by the usual committee of producers (including ... see all copies from $2.25! new only from $2.25!
7	Drop the Bomb (1982) more music like this by Trouble Funk Masters of Washington, D.C.'s '80s go-go craze, Trouble Funk brought early hip-hop (the group was part of Sugarhill Records) to the dancefloor with deep bass, propulsive rhythms, and party lyrics. Being even more inspired by '70s funk bands like Chic, Cameo, and the Gap Band than either the Sugarhill Gang or Grandmaster Flash, Trouble Funk and ... see all copies from $2.62! new only from $2.62!
8	Bustin' Loose (1979) more music like this by Chuck Brown & The Soul Searchers In the 1980s many of go-go's supporters insisted that it was going to become as big as rap. Regrettably, that never happened. Go-go was huge in Washington, D.C., where a Chuck Brown or Rare Essence show was as big a deal as a George Clinton concert, and a go-go release could be as impressive a seller as the latest Rick James record. But nationally ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
9	Your Game: Live at the 9:30 Club Washington, D.C. (2001) more music like this by Chuck Brown Even an avid R&B fan may not be familiar with go-go music of the 1970s. The unique polyrhythmic style blended horns, bass, and keyboard and eventually became the forerunner to '80s groups like EU and Trouble Funk as well as the Miami bass music of the '80s and '90s. While his unique sound has lived on, Chuck Brown, one of the genre's originators, ... see all copies from $13.74! new only from $15.54!
10	Scarlet (1998) more music like this by Code Red Although it's occasionally a little anonymous, Code Red's debut album, Scarlet is an enjoyable urban R&B record in the vein of Babyface, Blackstreet, R. Kelly and Boyz II Men. The group lacks really strong material -- only a handful of songs, such as the single "This Is Our Song," truly stand out -- but they have nice voices, which can make the ... see all copies from $4.75! new only from $4.75!
11	Put Your Hands Up! The Tribute Concert to Chuck Brown (2002) more music like this by Chuck Brown Recorded live at D.C.'s 9:30 club, this energetic double-disc celebration of go-go music features plenty of funky vamping, call-and-response chants, and party atmosphere. It starts, appropriately enough, with EU 's "Let the Party Begin." EU continues its bass-heavy workout with a cover of "I Want You Back" featuring guest vocalist Maleisha Rashad ... see all copies from $14.58! new only from $17.35!

15 view cover	Go Go Swing Live (1986) more music like this by Chuck Brown If you're ever in the position of deciding whether to buy a studio or live recording by Chuck Brown, opt for the live disc every time; Brown's bounty of sounds marry and flow much better in a live setting. On this live capture, the multi-talented Washington D.C. native's transitions from go-go to swing, jazz, blues, and R&B, are smooth as butter. ... see all copies from $12.23! new only from $14.20!

20 view cover	Any Other Way to Go? (1987) more music like this by Chuck Brown & The Soul Searchers Best known for their ferocious live gigging, Chuck Brown & the Soul Searchers' recorded catalog often falls by the wayside. But still, live shows aside, their albums remain one of the strongest and best chronicles of Washington, D.C.'s go-go sound. And Any Other Way to Go?, coming as the scene's spark was dying, is an excellent, tight masterpiece ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
