1	Greatest (1998) more music like this by Duran Duran Twenty years since their pop music debut, Duran Duran issued another greatest-hits collection. As if 1989's Decade wasn't stellar enough, this select package was much more solid. Greatest showcased the band's early days of glam rock décor and new romanticism to the alluring sophistication Duran Duran exuded throughout the '90s. The typical synth ... see all copies from $11.15! new only from $14.92!
2	Tears Roll Down (Greatest Hits 82-92) (1992) more music like this by Tears for Fears Capturing some of their chart-topping smashes and other key tracks, Tears for Fears marks a monumental career with their collection Tears Roll Down: Greatest Hits 82-92. Toward the end of the praise surrounding their third album, 1991's Seeds of Love, Curt Smith left the band. Roland Orzabal was left to sail the ship alone, and the strong success ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.72!
3	Pure 80's (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Although there's nothing particularly out of the ordinary of Pure 80's, it nevertheless is a good, basic collection of 20 new wave hits, highlighted by such classics as "Hungry Like the Wolf," "Our House," "Relax," "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," "Video Killed the Radio Star," "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," and Soft Cell's timeless ... see all copies from $11.51! new only from $13.34!
4	Wedding Singer 2 (1998) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Once the soundtrack to the Adam Sandler/Drew Barrymore romantic comedy The Wedding Singer climbed into the Top Ten, the appearance of Wedding Singer 2 was nearly a sure thing. After all, Grosse Pointe Blank and Romy & Michele's High School Reunion, two other '80s-themed films with predominantly new wave soundtracks, spun off two hit albums apiece, ... see all copies from $2.37! new only from $10.71!
5	Look of Love: The Very Best of ABC (2001) more music like this by ABC With a deeper and broader track listing than most ABC compilations, Look of Love: The Very Best of ABC more or less lives up to its name. Concentrating on the band's glory days, the album covers the highlights of ABC's first five albums, including de rigeur hits like the title track, "Poison Arrow," "When Smokey Sings," "Be Near Me," and "How to ... see all copies from $11.51! new only from $12.86!
6	Decade: Greatest Hits (1989) more music like this by Duran Duran Decade is an excellent singles compilation, featuring all of the highlights from Duran Duran's heyday -- "Planet Earth," "Girls on Film," "Rio," "Is There Something I Should Know," "Union of the Snake," "The Reflex," "The Wild Boys," "Save a Prayer," "A View to a Kill" -- plus late-'80s hits like "Notorious," "Skin Trade," "I Don't Want Your Love, ... see all copies from $1.99!
7	Rio [Bonus Video Tracks] (2001) more music like this by Duran Duran From its Nagel cover to the haircuts and overall design - and first and foremost the music -Rio is as representative of the eighties as it gets, at its best. The original Duran Duran's high point, and just as likely the band's as a whole, its fusion of style and substance ensures that even two decades after its release it remains as listenable and ... see all copies from $7.50! new only from $7.50!
8	Strange Behaviour (1999) more music like this by Duran Duran The 12" has come a long way from its early incarnation as single version with bits tacked on beginning, middle, and end. This two-disc set spans Duran's club output from Planet Earth, right up to 1993's mega selling Wedding Album with some key omissions, no "Ordinary World" for example. Disc one concentrates on their career from Brummie new ... see all copies from $13.59! new only from $31.79!
9	Asides Besides (1998) more music like this by Talk Talk Asides Besides can certainly be seen as a cash-in release to coincide with Mark Hollis' first solo release and the reissue of Talk Talk's EMI catalog, but rarely does such a calculated industry move result in such a treat for fans. Over two discs, Asides Besides essentially ties up all of the loose ends for the band. Disc one is probably the least ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
10	Best of OMD [UK Bonus Tracks] (2002) more music like this by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys make up Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, who were responsible for some of the catchiest and brightest synth pop that the '80s had to offer. O.M.D.'s material was a step above other keyboard pop music of the time, thanks to the combination of intelligently crafted hooks and colorful rhythms that bounced and ... see all copies from $7.93! new only from $7.93!
11 view cover	The Pleasure Principle [Bonus Tracks] (1998) more music like this by Gary Numan The most popular of all the Gary Numan albums is undeniably 1979's The Pleasure Principle. The reasons are simple -- there is not a single weak moment on the disc, it contains his sole U.S. (number one worldwide) hit, "Cars," and new drummer Cedric Sharpley adds a whole new dimension with his powerful percussion work. The Pleasure Principle is ... see all copies from $9.23! new only from $11.44!
12 view cover	Best of Real Life: Send Me an Angel (1989) more music like this by Real Life This Australian band's biggest hit "Send Me an Angel" sounds like the happy result of an experiment that blended the best synthesized ideas of Pet Shop Boys and A Flock of Seagulls with a dose of celestial spirituality. The popular song appears here in its original shape as well as an extended, way over-synthesized dance mix. Listening to this ... see all copies from $7.03! new only from $7.03!
13 view cover	Duran Duran (1981) more music like this by Duran Duran Duran Duran's eponymous debut artfully coalesced the sonic and stylistic elements of the burgeoning new romantic movement they were soon to spearhead: pumping synths, glossy production, and seemingly impossible haircuts. Ultra-smart singles like "Girls on Film" and "Planet Earth" became instant smash hits both in the U.K. and America, and other ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.99!
14 view cover	Seven and the Ragged Tiger (1983) more music like this by Duran Duran Despite the fact that Seven and the Ragged Tiger couldn't match the unrestrained pop/rock ebullience of 1982's Rio, Duran Duran put three of the album's singles in the Top Ten, taking it to number one in the U.K. Even though "The Reflex" gave the band their first number one hit, there's an overabundance of fancy glitz and dancefloor flamboyancy ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.17!
15 view cover	Notorious (1986) more music like this by Duran Duran 1986's Notorious has Andy Taylor contributing on only four songs before leaving to start his solo career, but on the strength of the title track's number two placing and "Skin Trade's number 39 mark, the album itself peaked at number 12 in the U.S. and number 16 in the U.K. On the whole, only "Notorious" showed any real livelihood, thanks to its ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.39!
16 view cover	A Flock of Seagulls (1982) more music like this by A Flock of Seagulls The Liverpool quintet A Flock of Seagulls first gained attention in the dance clubs with "Telecommunication," included on this debut release. The band benefited from heavy play on MTV and quickly became known for their outrageous fashion and lead singer Mike Score's waterfall-like haircut. However, their self-titled debut is an enjoyable romp that ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $11.06!
17 view cover	Forever Young (1984) more music like this by Alphaville Alphaville's 1984 debut, Forever Young, deserves to be viewed as a classic synth pop album. There's no doubting that Germans are behind the crystalline Teutonic textures and massive beats that permeate the album, but vocalist Marian Gold's impressive ability to handle a Bryan Ferry croon and many impassioned high passages meant the album would ... see all copies from $2.05! new only from $10.76!
18 view cover	Vienna (1980) more music like this by Ultravox With the departure of vocalist John Foxx and guitarist Robin Simon behind them, Vienna kicked off Ultravox's second phase with former Rich Kids vocalist Midge Ure at the helm. Trading Foxx's glam rock stance for Ure's aristocratic delivery, Vienna recasts the band as a melodramatic synth pop chamber ensemble with most of the group doubling on ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $6.90!
19 view cover	True (1983) more music like this by Spandau Ballet By 1983, with the new romantic movement they'd sprung from a rapidly fading memory, the members of Spandau Ballet showed they had no intention of traveling the same path. Always ambitious, the British quintet really got down to business: Gone were the kilts, frilly shirts, and makeup -- as well as the sometimes chilly electronics of their first ... see all copies from $4.20! new only from $12.61!
20 view cover	The Dream Academy (1985) more music like this by The Dream Academy Dream Academy was the self-titled debut release for the art-school trio led by lead singer/guitarist Nick Laird-Clowes. Produced by David Gilmour and Laird-Clowes, the group was rounded out by vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Kate St. John and keyboard player Gilbert Gabriel, and they struck the first time out with the album's standout track "Life ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $9.62!
21 view cover	Fantastic! (1983) more music like this by Wham! Fantastic is the misguided 1983 debut release from the U.K. duo Wham. With Fantastic, George Michael and partner Andrew Ridgeley introduced themselves as leather jacket-clad, street-smart "rebels." This approach proved wildly popular in the U.K., where Fantastic was a Top Ten hit, but the album went largely unnoticed in the States. While Fantastic ... see all copies from $3.39! new only from $5.27!
22 view cover	Dare! (1981) more music like this by The Human League Dare! captures a moment in time perfectly -- the moment post-punk's robotic fascination with synthesizers met a clinical Bowiesque infatuation with fashion and modern art, including pop culture, plus a healthy love of songcraft. The Human League had shown much of this on their early singles, such as "The Lebanon," but on Dare! they simply gelled, ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $16.31!
23 view cover	It's My Life (1984) more music like this by Talk Talk After an unremarkable debut, Talk Talk regrouped and refashioned themselves more in the style of sophisto-era Roxy Music while developing their own voice. It's My Life shows a great leap in songwriting, the band making highly personal statements with a sexy, seductive groove and a diversity that transcends the synth pop tag. Synthesizers still ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $10.56!
24 view cover	The Collection (1984) more music like this by Ultravox While Ultravox's commercial success was virtually nonexistent in the U.S., their singles were strewn across the British charts throughout the early half of the '80s. Led by Midge Ure's haunting but forceful vocal presence, sometimes reminiscent of U2's Bono, Ultravox used the keyboards to guide their sophisticated and intelligent pop style, ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $8.31!
25 view cover	Telekon (1980) more music like this by Gary Numan Gary Numan's follow-up to the flawless The Pleasure Principle was 1980's Telekon. Although it was another mega-hit back home in England (his third consecutive number one album), Numan could not follow up his massive new wave hit "Cars" in the United States, where he was unjustly slapped with the one-hit-wonder tag. Telekon would also turn out to ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $10.76!
