1	The Best of Talking Heads (2004) more music like this by Talking Heads Rhino's -- or, more accurately, Sire/Warner/Rhino's -- Best of Talking Heads follows 2003's box set Once in a Lifetime by a year, and it features the same remastering from that set. It also shares part of a title with the 1992 U.K. compilation The Best of Talking Heads: Once in a Lifetime, which was released the same year as the American double ... see all copies from $8.71! new only from $16.52!
2	Popular Favorites 1976-1992: Sand in the Vaseline (1992) more music like this by Talking Heads Featuring material from every Talking Heads album except the live The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads, Sand in the Vaseline is a terrific double-disc retrospective of the band's long and varied career. Featuring all of their hit singles and trademark songs ("Psycho Killer," "Take Me to the River," "Burning Down the House," "And She Was," "Once ... see all copies from $3.07! new only from $33.62!
3	Fear of Music (1979) more music like this by Talking Heads By titling their third album Fear of Music and opening it with the African rhythmic experiment "I Zimbra," complete with nonsense lyrics by poet Hugo Ball, Talking Heads make the record seem more of a departure than it is. Though Fear of Music is musically distinct from its predecessors, it's mostly because of the use of minor keys that give the ... see all copies from $3.82! new only from $7.03!
4	Horses (1975) more music like this by Patti Smith It isn't hard to make the case for Patti Smith as a punk rock progenitor based on her debut album, which anticipated the new wave by a year or so: the simple, crudely played rock & roll, featuring Lenny Kaye's rudimentary guitar work, the anarchic spirit of Smith's vocals, and the emotional and imaginative nature of her lyrics -- all prefigure the ... see all copies from $5.40! new only from $10.76!
5	More Songs About Buildings and Food (1978) more music like this by Talking Heads The title of Talking Heads' second album, More Songs About Buildings and Food, slyly addressed the sophomore record syndrome, in which songs not used on a first LP are mixed with hastily written new material. If the band's sound seems more conventional, the reason simply may be that one had encountered the odd song structures, staccato rhythms, ... see all copies from $4.85! new only from $9.62!
6	New York Dolls (1973) more music like this by New York Dolls There are hints of girl group pop and more than a hint of the Rolling Stones, but The New York Dolls doesn't really sound like anything that came before it. It's hard rock with a self-conscious wit, a celebration of camp and kitsch that retains a menacing, malevolent edge. The New York Dolls play as if they can barely keep the music from falling ... see all copies from $6.85! new only from $6.85!
7	Blank Generation (1977) more music like this by Richard Hell & the Voidoids Richard Hell was one of the first men on the scene when punk rock first began to emerge in New York City as an early member of both Television and the Heartbreakers (he left both groups before they could record), but his own version of punk wasn't much like anyone else's, and while Hell's debut album, Blank Generation, remains one of the most ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $11.11!
8	Talking Heads: 77 (1977) more music like this by Talking Heads Though they were the most highly touted new wave band to emerge from the CBGB's scene in New York, it was not clear at first whether Talking Heads' Lower East Side art rock approach could make the subway ride to the midtown pop mainstream successfully. The leadoff track of the debut album, Talking Heads: 77, "Uh-Oh, Love Comes to Town," was a pop ... see all copies from $7.88! new only from $11.11!
9	Animal Boy (1986) more music like this by The Ramones With Animal Boy, producer Jean Beauvoir (of Plasmatics infamy) attempted to update the Ramones' sound with the commercial conventions of the day, meaning keyboards and synthesizers. The balls-out title song momentarily simplifies things, but the album nevertheless progresses in hit-and-miss fashion. Of note, the album contains one of the band's ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.70!
10	Catholic Boy (1980) more music like this by Jim Carroll It's generally imagined that the highest praise one can bestow on a rock songwriter is to say their words read like poetry, but the truth is no more than a handful of notable poets have distinguished themselves as rock songwriters (supposedly a less demanding form), and several have displayed a embarrassing lack of understanding of the popular ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $9.20!
11 view cover	Hey! Ho! Let's Go: The Anthology (1999) more music like this by The Ramones In a way, the Ramones are an ideal band to anthologize. No matter how cohesive their records were (or not), their albums always played like collections of singles and since singles are easy to anthologize, it stands to reason that the best of the Ramones' songs will sound good in nearly any context; hell, the haphazard Ramones Mania proved that. ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $15.86!
12 view cover	Greatest Hits [Capitol/Chrysalis] (2002) more music like this by Blondie If you consulted a Blondie discography in the fall of 2002, you would see a slew of compilations listed, and you might wonder why a new Greatest Hits was needed. But a closer examination would reveal that there really is a niche into which such a collection would fall: that of a full-priced, single-disc, CD-era hits compilation covering the band's ... see all copies from $9.45! new only from $16.51!
13 view cover	Rocket to Russia [Expanded] (2001) more music like this by The Ramones There aren't many bonus tracks -- only five -- on Rhino's 2001 expanded edition of the Ramones' third album, Rocket to Russia, but it doesn't really matter because the album itself is so good and the presentation is so fine. Like the other editions in Rhino's Ramones reissue series, this has a terrific booklet with the original artwork, full ... see all copies from $5.64! new only from $7.03!
14 view cover	Marquee Moon [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Television Rhino's 2003 expanded edition of Television's seminal debut, Marquee Moon, doesn't add much on the surface -- in addition to the de rigueur liner notes and loving packaging, all standard fare on serious reissues here in the early days of the 21st century, there are a mere five bonus tracks. Some might complain, but dealing with scarcity is part ... see all copies from $12.55! new only from $16.23!
15 view cover	Stop Making Sense [Special Edition] (1999) more music like this by Talking Heads When the soundtrack for the classic Talking Heads movie Stop Making Sense was originally issued in 1984, it was only nine tracks in length, even though a total of 16 were performed on film. So when the film was re-released in theaters and on home video in 1999, a new version of the soundtrack was issued as well, including all 16 songs and sporting ... see all copies from $12.76! new only from $13.71!
16 view cover	The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads [Expanded] (2004) more music like this by Talking Heads Up until 2004, Stop Making Sense was the only easily available live Talking Heads album on compact disc, but it caught the band in the second phase of its career, presenting a polished stage show after having arrived squarely in the mainstream with the success of Speaking in Tongues (their fifth album) and "Burning Down the House" in particular. ... see all copies from $17.64! new only from $21.44!
17 view cover	Road to Ruin [Expanded] (2001) more music like this by The Ramones Generally considered the last great album from the Ramones' great period -- the record before Phil Spector "ruined" them and changed the trajectory of their career -- Road to Ruin is given five bonus tracks on Rhino's 2001 expanded reissue. Where the bonus cuts on Rocket to Russia were nice, but not really revelatory, these are all very welcome ... see all copies from $5.84! new only from $7.03!
18 view cover	The Best of Blondie (1981) more music like this by Blondie Although Blondie made several first-rate albums, most of their best songs were released as singles, which makes The Best of Blondie an essential collection. The Best of Blondie glosses over their punk roots -- very little from the first album, apart from the vicious "Rip Her to Shreds" and the seductive "In the Flesh" -- but the band's pop hits ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
19 view cover	Parallel Lines [Bonus Tracks] (2001) more music like this by Blondie Blondie turned to Britain-based pop producer Mike Chapman for their third album, on which they abandoned any pretensions to new wave legitimacy (just in time, given the decline of the style) and emerged as a mainstream, contemporary pop/rock band. But it wasn't just Chapman's influence that made Parallel Lines Blondie's best album; it was also the ... see all copies from $8.54! new only from $8.54!
20 view cover	Ramones [Expanded] (2001) more music like this by The Ramones Rhino's 2001 expanded reissue of the Ramones' seminal debut album would have been welcomed if it had simply brought the original album back in print. It may have been available as part of the wonderful All the Stuff & More, Vol. 1 compilation, but there's nothing like hearing the original album in a concentrated blast of gleeful primitivism -- ... see all copies from $5.84! new only from $7.03!
21 view cover	Greatest Hits (2006) more music like this by The Ramones Appearing one year after Rhino's Ramones box set Weird Tales of the Ramones, and appearing four years after Rhino's first single-disc Ramones collection Loud, Fast Ramones: Their Toughest Hits -- which itself appeared after Rhino's excellent double-disc Hey! Ho! Let's Go!: The Anthology -- Rhino's 2006 collection Greatest Hits serves up 20 of the ... see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!
22 view cover	Leave Home [Expanded] (2001) more music like this by The Ramones As fine as it is -- and it's a really entertaining record, especially in retrospect -- the Ramones' second album, Leave Home, isn't as good as their first, largely because they no longer had the shock of the new. That can't be said of Rhino's 2001 expanded reissue of the record, since it trumps the reissue of Ramones in its bonus material. Where ... see all copies from $5.84! new only from $7.03!
23 view cover	Wave (1979) more music like this by Patti Smith Group The Patti Smith Group's most conventional album, Wave was given a bright pop/rock sound by producer Todd Rundgren. It was the last album Smith made before marrying and retiring from record-making for nine years, and it can be heard as a farewell to the music business, from "Frederick," the love song to her husband-to-be, Fred "Sonic" Smith, that ... see all copies from $5.91! new only from $10.66!
24 view cover	Stop Making Sense (1984) more music like this by Talking Heads While there's no debating the importance of Jonathan Demme's classic film record of Talking Heads' 1983 tour, the soundtrack released in support of it is a thornier matter. Since its release, purists have found Stop Making Sense slickly mixed and, worse yet, incomprehensive. The nine tracks included jumble and truncate the natural progression of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.00!
25 view cover	Brain Drain (1989) more music like this by The Ramones see all copies from $2.99! new only from $5.00!
