1	The Joshua Tree (1987) more music like this by U2 add to wishlist Using the textured sonics of The Unforgettable Fire as a basis, U2 expanded those innovations by scaling back the songs to a personal setting and adding a grittier attack for its follow-up, The Joshua Tree. It's a move that returns them to the sweeping, anthemic rock of War, but if War was an exploding political bomb, The Joshua Tree is a journey ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.89!
2	Achtung Baby (1991) more music like this by U2 add to wishlist Reinventions rarely come as thorough and effective as Achtung Baby, an album that completely changed U2's sound and style. The crashing, unrecognizable distorted guitars that open "Zoo Station" are a clear signal that U2 have traded their Americana pretensions for postmodern, contemporary European music. Drawing equally from Bowie's electronic, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.88!
3	The Best of 1980-1990 (1998) more music like this by U2 add to wishlist As one of the most popular bands of the '80s, U2 didn't quite fit into any particular category. They were a post-punk band that quickly found acceptance from a hard rock audience, a group that made fully formed albums but often made their best statements on individual songs, especially during the '80s. Consequently, they're a very hard band to ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.88!
4	U218 Singles (2006) more music like this by U2 add to wishlist U2's first two greatest-hits albums neatly divided themselves by decade, with the first covering the '80s and the second summing up the '90s. Their third hits comp, 2006's U218 Singles, is at once more ambitious and more concise, offering an overview of their first 26 years on a single disc comprised of 18 tracks -- and since two of those are new ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $10.43!
5	The Best of 1990-2000 (2002) more music like this by U2 add to wishlist The story goes like this: poised on the brink of disappearing in their own earnestness in the wake of the Rattle and Hum, U2 revitalized themselves with Achtung Baby, embracing irony and modern music in a garish celebration of pop culture that effectively distracted attention from the wounded, broken heart at its center. Basking in the acclaim of ... see all copies from $4.76! new only from $10.35!
6	Disintegration (1989) more music like this by The Cure add to wishlist Expanding the latent arena rock sensibilities that peppered Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me by slowing them down and stretching them to the breaking point, the Cure reached the peak of their popularity with the crawling, darkly seductive Disintegration. It's a hypnotic, mesmerizing record, comprised almost entirely of epics like the soaring, icy ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.27!
7	Substance (1987) more music like this by New Order add to wishlist Substance is a double-disc set collecting New Order's singles, including several songs that were never available on the group's albums, at least in these versions. While there are a couple of re-recordings of earlier singles, most of Substance consists of 12" single mixes designed for danceclub play. Arguably, these 12" mixes represent New Order's ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $17.33!
8	Remain in Light (1980) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist The musical transition that seemed to have just begun with Fear of Music came to fruition on Talking Heads' fourth album, Remain in Light. "I Zimbra" and "Life During Wartime" from the earlier album served as the blueprints for a disc on which the group explored African polyrhythms on a series of driving groove tracks, over which David Byrne ... see all copies from $2.75! new only from $6.50!
9	Songs in the Key of X: Music from and Inspired by 'the X-Files' (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This album purports to be an attempt at recursion by the creator of The X-Files, Chris Carter -- songs inspired by the show that he hopes will provide further inspiration for the show (just as Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand" did for the "Ascension" episode.) Contributions here include Mark Snow, with the title music, the Foo Fighters with a grand ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.99!
10	Fear of Music (1979) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist 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 $2.97! new only from $6.52!
11	Unknown Pleasures (1979) more music like this by Joy Division add to wishlist It even looks like something classic, beyond its time or place of origin even as it was a clear product of both -- one of Peter Saville's earliest and best designs, a transcription of a signal showing a star going nova, on a black embossed sleeve. If that were all Unknown Pleasures was, it wouldn't be discussed so much, but the ten songs inside, ... see all copies from $5.83! new only from $8.99!
12	Stop Making Sense [Special Edition] (1999) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist 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 $10.20! new only from $10.20!
13	Songs the Lord Taught Us (1980) more music like this by The Cramps add to wishlist Continuing the spooked-out and raging snarls of their Gravest Hits EP, the Cramps once again worked with Alex Chilton on the group's full-album debut, Songs the Lord Taught Us. The jacket reads "file under: sacred music," but only if one's definition includes the holy love of rockabilly sex-stomp, something which the Cramps fulfill in spades. ... see all copies from $7.63! new only from $7.63!
14	Rattle and Hum (1988) more music like this by U2 add to wishlist Functioning as both the soundtrack to the group's disastrous feature-film documentary and as a tentative follow-up to their career-making blockbuster, Rattle and Hum is all over the place. The live cuts lack the revelatory power of Under a Blood Red Sky and are undercut by heavy-handed performances and Bono's embarrassing stage patter; prefacing a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.95!
15	Outlandos d'Amour (1978) more music like this by The Police add to wishlist While their subsequent chart-topping albums would contain far more ambitious songwriting and musicianship, the Police's 1978 debut, Outlandos d'Amour (translation: Outlaws of Love ) is by far their most direct and straightforward release. Although Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland were all superb instrumentalists with jazz backgrounds, it ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.30!
16	The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads [Expanded] (2004) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist 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 $17.33! new only from $17.33!
17	Add It Up (1981-1993) (1993) more music like this by Violent Femmes add to wishlist Add It Up is not quite the definitive Violent Femmes compilation one might hope for, even if it does feature 23 tracks and adds essential later items missing from their first comp, Debacle: The First Decade. There are several charming rarities to hook dedicated fans, who will likely find several favorites missing (perhaps another song or two could ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.44!
18	No Alternative (1993) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist A mixture of B-sides, outtakes, live tracks, and newly recorded songs, No Alternative was the most successful benefit album of 1993, both commercially and artistically. Exceptional songs from Nirvana, Bob Mould, Urge Overkill, Smashing Pumpkins, American Music Club, and Pavement enhance fine outtakes from Buffalo Tom and Matthew Sweet, strengthen ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $18.95!
19	Pornography [Deluxe Edition] (2005) more music like this by The Cure add to wishlist "First time available on CD" is often a way of putting a spin on words like "scraps" or "rubbish." This is the case with the second disc of Rhino's Pornography reissue. Like all the deluxe editions of the Cure's back catalog, the album is packaged with a spectacular layout containing plenty of photos and biographical liner notes, but the decision ... see all copies from $9.78! new only from $9.78!
20	The Unforgettable Fire (1984) more music like this by U2 add to wishlist In many ways, U2 took their fondness for sonic bombast as far as it could go on War, so it isn't a complete surprise that they chose to explore the intricacies of the Edge's layered, effects-laden guitar on the follow-up, The Unforgettable Fire. Working with producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, U2 created a dark, near-hallucinatory series of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.88!
21	Scary Monsters (1980) more music like this by David Bowie add to wishlist David Bowie returned to relatively conventional rock & roll with Scary Monsters, an album that effectively acts as an encapsulation of all his '70s experiments. Reworking glam rock themes with avant-garde synth flourishes, and reversing the process as well, Bowie creates dense but accessible music throughout Scary Monsters. Though it doesn't have ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $11.06!
22	True Stories (1986) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist Time hasn't been kind to Talking Heads' ancillary soundtrack to David Byrne's oddball directorial debut. Though it generated one of the band's biggest radio hits ("Wild Wild Life"), both the film and its songs were dismissed as self-consciously quirky retreads of other, better material; and it's well-known the quartet was beginning to splinter ... see all copies from $4.21! new only from $6.45!
23	Forever Young (1984) more music like this by Alphaville add to wishlist 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 $1.99! new only from $7.99!
24	All the Rage (1984) more music like this by General Public add to wishlist First out of the gate with a new band after the English Beat's acrimonious fracture in June 1983, General Public was the first post-punk supergroup, gathering the Beat's Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger, the Specials' Horace Panter, and other veterans of the U.K. ska revival. (Mick Jones, freshly booted from the Clash, was originally announced as ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.65!
25	Friend or Foe (1982) more music like this by Adam Ant add to wishlist Adam Ant and Marco Pirroni ditched the rest of the Ants not long after the release of the widely derided Prince Charming, which provided them with the perfect opportunity for a new statement of purpose in the first Ant-less album, 1982's Friend or Foe. They had already begun moving away from Burundi beats and Indians on Prince Charming, but here ... see all copies from $3.65! new only from $8.99!
