1	Automatic for the People (1992) more music like this by R.E.M. Turning away from the sweet pop of Out of Time, R.E.M. created a haunting, melancholy masterpiece with Automatic for the People. At its core, the album is a collection of folk songs about aging, death, and loss, but the music has a grand, epic sweep provided by layers of lush strings, interweaving acoustic instruments, and shimmering keyboards. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.27!
2	Reckoning (1984) more music like this by R.E.M. R.E.M. abandoned the enigmatic post-punk experiments of Murmur for their second album, Reckoning, returning to their garage pop origins instead. Opening with the ringing "Harborcoat," Reckoning runs through a set of ten jangle pop songs that are different not only in sound but in style from the debut. Where Murmur was enigmatic in its sound, ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $8.66!
3	Our Time in Eden (1992) more music like this by 10,000 Maniacs Pushing through the sophomore jinx that gave Blind Man's Zoo its preachy feel, 10,000 Maniacs offer up a baker's dozen of wonderful folk-pop songs with hard-hitting messages, nearly matching the brilliance of their debut. Natalie Merchant is a few years older here, a few tribulations wiser, and a few shakes looser, although that's not to say she ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $11.11!
4	Eponymous (1988) more music like this by R.E.M. Basically a singles collection from R.E.M.'s first five albums, Eponymous gives the listener a sense of the band's change from folk-rock to rock. The songs are intelligently selected, distilling most of the best moments from their first five albums for IRS. Included is the original single of "Radio Free Europe," and different mixes of "Gardening ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.82!
5	Cosmic Thing (1989) more music like this by The B-52's Many observers were prepared to write off the B-52's after the release of Bouncing Off the Satellites. Granted, the album was completed in the wake of Ricky Wilson's death, but the group appeared bereft of new musical ideas and were sounding rather stale. In other words, the last thing anyone expected was a first-class return to form, which is ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.32!
6	Murmur (1983) more music like this by R.E.M. Leaving behind the garagey jangle pop of their first recordings, R.E.M. developed a strangely subdued variation of their trademark sound for their full-length debut album, Murmur. Heightening the enigmatic tendencies of Chronic Town by de-emphasizing the backbeat and accentuating the ambience of the ringing guitar, R.E.M. created a distinctive ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
7	Document (1987) more music like this by R.E.M. R.E.M. began to move toward mainstream record production on Lifes Rich Pageant, but they didn't have a commercial breakthrough until the following year's Document. Ironically, Document is a stranger, more varied album than its predecessor, but co-producer Scott Litt -- who would go on to produce every R.E.M. album in the following decade -- is a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.95!
8	Long Gone Dead (1984) more music like this by Rank and File Two years separated Rank and File's acclaimed debut album, Sundown, and 1984's follow-up, Long Gone Dead, and the band had gone through some major changes in the interim. Guitarist Alejandro Escovedo left the group to form the True Believers, and drummer Slim Evans had also parted ways with the band, leaving vocalists and songwriters Chip Kinman ... see all copies from $2.90! new only from $11.80!
9	In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003 (2003) more music like this by R.E.M. R.E.M. began their Warner contract in 1988 as the biggest band to emerge from the college-radio-fueled American underground. Fifteen years later, they released In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003, the first overview of their long stint at Warner Records. During that decade and a half, R.E.M. had a turbulent journey. At the outset, their legend ... see all copies from $8.28! new only from $16.65!
10	The Ultimate Collection (2002) more music like this by Edie Brickell Edie Brickell & New Bohemians were, arguably, a one-hit wonder, that one hit being the Top Ten "What I Am" in 1989, although they sold two million copies of their debut album, Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars and attracted radio and/or minor chart rankings with a few other tracks. Still, their quick fade (they broke up in 1991) prevented Geffen ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $13.34!
11 view cover	Rock Spectacle (1996) more music like this by Barenaked Ladies As if to acknowledge that Barenaked Ladies' third album, 1996's Born on a Pirate Ship, was a blunder that wouldn't do much to advance the Canadian group's U.S. image, Reprise Records quickly followed it up with the live set Rock Spectacle. This was a wise move, as years of nearly nonstop touring had helped the group transform from a jokey folk ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.00!
12 view cover	In My Tribe [Reissue] (1990) more music like this by 10,000 Maniacs 10,000 Maniacs' breakthrough album and creative high point, In My Tribe offers a survey of social concerns, including child abuse ("What's the Matter Here"), illiteracy ("Cherry Tree"), war ("Gun Shy"), and the environment ("Campfire Song") -- all tackled subtly and tastefully without too much preaching or pretension and in believable, real-life ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.55!
13 view cover	Saturday Morning: Cartoons' Greatest Hits (1995) more music like this by Various Artists At least since the mid-'60s, there has been a dubious but undeniable connection between kids' television and novelty pop songs. With the rise of the Archies in the latter part of the decade, Saturday morning TV became saturated throughout the early '70s with wacky adventures of young-ish hipsters who just happened to be able to break into super ... see all copies from $2.50! new only from $8.00!
14 view cover	Greatest Hits (1990) more music like this by Bangles Weighing in at 14 tracks, Greatest Hits is a good, basic collection of the Bangles' biggest singles, containing all the hits, including the previously non-LP "Hazy Shade of Winter," plus a couple of album tracks and, for the dedicated, a new cover of the Grass Roots' "Where Were You When I Needed You." It may be easy to carp about fine album ... see all copies from $2.00! new only from $11.06!
15 view cover	Out of Time (1991) more music like this by R.E.M. In contrast to the directness of Green and Document, this may seem like a return to the abstractness of the early years, but that isn't the case. Out of Time is among R.E.M.'s best work -- a mature, balanced, graceful collection of pop songs quite different from Murmur and Reckoning. Buck, Berry, and Mills switch instruments frequently, keeping ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.85!
16 view cover	Maybe You Should Drive (1994) more music like this by Barenaked Ladies Barenaked Ladies are a little less interested in the quirky and comic on their second album, perhaps recognizing that They Might Be Giants have that niche covered. Instead, though, they are showing their sensitive folk-pop roots, which makes them winning, if a little wet. (XTC, anyone?) But one thing they aren't is "alternative," a matter dealt ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $11.11!
17 view cover	Louder Than Bombs (1987) more music like this by The Smiths A compilation of singles, B-sides, album tracks, and BBC sessions assembled for the American market, Louder Than Bombs is an overlong and unfocused collection that nevertheless boasts a wealth of brilliant material. Since Hatful of Hollow was unavailable in the U.S. at the time of the release of Louder Than Bombs, this compilation contains large ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $16.65!
18 view cover	Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits (1991-2001) (2001) more music like this by Barenaked Ladies Canada's beloved funny guys the Barenaked Ladies have proved to be more than just a novelty act. Four albums into their wavering career, Stunt was golden for American fans and BNL found themselves chiefing the mainstream scene during the late '90s. So to issue a greatest-hits collection might be appropriate for those fans who caught on late, but ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $8.75!
19 view cover	Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars (1989) more music like this by Edie Brickell & New Bohemians As debut albums by young bands go, Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars is nearly flawless. With a slight southern twinge in her voice, the 23-year-old Brickell churned out brilliant lyrics and captivating vocal performances, backed by the solid and innovative players that comprised the original New Bos -- Kenny Withrow, Brad Houser, John Bush, and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.66!
20 view cover	Dead Letter Office (1987) more music like this by R.E.M. Arriving mere months before Document took the group into the Top Ten, the B-sides and rarities collection Dead Letter Office sums up all of the quirks and idiosyncrasies that made R.E.M. the leading underground guitar pop band of the '80s. While only a handful of songs on Dead Letter Office rank among the group's best, the record is extremely ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
21 view cover	Loud and Plowed and...LIVE!! (1990) more music like this by Beat Farmers Loud and Plowed and...LIVE!! is a "best of live" collection that shows the Beat Farmers at the height of their powers in their best environment. Since none of their studio albums were able to completely capture the raw energy and fun of the Beat Farmers, this remains the definitive document of their career and is the best place to start. Chris ... see all copies from $7.27! new only from $7.27!
22 view cover	Wig in a Box (2003) more music like this by Various Artists John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask's gender-bending, heartbreaking musical soundtrack, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, has already become something of a cult classic, particularly with indie-rockers, so Wig in a Box: Songs From and Inspired by Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which features artists ranging from Yoko Ono to They Might Be Giants, brings ... see all copies from $14.41! new only from $14.41!
23 view cover	Lifes Rich Pageant (1986) more music like this by R.E.M. Fables of the Reconstruction was intentionally murky, and Lifes Rich Pageant was constructed as its polar opposite. Teaming with producer Don Gehman, who previously worked with John Mellencamp, R.E.M. developed their most forceful record to date. Where previous records kept the rhythm section in the background, Pageant emphasizes the beat, and the ... see all copies from $9.97! new only from $11.13!
24 view cover	Time Capsule (1998) more music like this by The B-52's Time Capsule is an excellent, 18-track collection that offers a comprehensive overview of the B-52's' career, from their kitschy post-punk beginnings to their unexpected chart success in the early '90s. Along the way, all the big songs -- "Planet Claire," "Rock Lobster," "Private Idaho," "Quiche Lorraine," "Summer of Love" (in its original mix), ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.00!
25 view cover	Let It Be (1984) more music like this by The Replacements Let It Be looms large among '80s rock albums, generally regarded as one of the greatest records of the decade. So large is its legend and so universal its acclaim that all the praise tends to give the impression that the Replacements' fourth album was designed as a major statement, intended to be something important when its genius, like so many ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $16.49!
