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 $10.41!
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 $10.41!
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 $5.80!
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 $5.99! new only from $10.35!
6	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 $2.74! new only from $12.05!
7	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!
8	Reggatta de Blanc (1979) more music like this by The Police add to wishlist By 1979's Reggatta de Blanc (translation: White Reggae ), nonstop touring had sharpened the Police's original blend of reggae-rock to perfection, resulting in breakthrough success. Containing a pair of massive hit singles -- the inspirational anthem "Message in a Bottle" and the spacious "Walking on the Moon" -- the album also signaled a change ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.67!
9	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!
10	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 $10.09!
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 $6.99! new only from $8.99!
12	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!
13	Stop Making Sense [Special Edition] (1984) 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 $6.48! new only from $10.13!
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	Songs of Faith and Devotion (1993) more music like this by Depeche Mode add to wishlist On the face of it the oddest release of Depeche Mode's career, and one of the oddest in rock ever -- a mere six months after the release of the original Songs of Faith and Devotion, a track-for-track duplication of the album from the accompanying tour, culled from a variety of dates in Europe and America. Beyond the souvenir value, though, it's a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
16	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!
17	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!
18	The Head on the Door (1985) more music like this by The Cure add to wishlist After recording one of their darkest albums, 1983's The Top, the Cure regrouped and shuffled their lineup in 1984 and ended up changing their musical direction rather radically. While the band always had a pop element in their sound and even recorded one of the lightest songs of the '80s, "The Lovecats," The Head on the Door is where they become a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.89!
19	Galore (1997) more music like this by The Cure add to wishlist It's ironic that the Cure, a band whose albums have always seemed like definitive artistic statements, were at their best as a singles band. On the group's singles, Robert Smith's ideas reached their full potential, since they captured not only the group's off-kilter pop sense, but also the haunting melancholy and wacky humor that interlaced Smith ... see all copies from $1.99!
20	Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (1987) more music like this by The Cure add to wishlist Simultaneously more accessible and ambitious than any of the Cure's previous albums, the double album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me finds Robert Smith expanding his pop vocabulary by tentatively adding bigger guitars, the occasional horn section, lite-funk rhythms, and string sections. It's eclectic, to be sure, but it's also a mess, bouncing from ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.78!
21	Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! (1978) more music like this by Devo add to wishlist Produced by Brian Eno, Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! was a seminal touchstone in the development of American new wave. It was one of the first pop albums to use synthesizers as an important textural element, and although they mostly play a supporting role in this guitar-driven set, the innovation began to lay the groundwork for the synth-pop ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $6.43!
22	The Singles 81>85 (1998) more music like this by Depeche Mode add to wishlist Replacing the original Catching Up with Depeche Mode compilation, Singles 81>85 subtracts two tracks -- the lightweight curiosity "Flexible" and "Fly on the Windscreen," which surfaced to better effect on Black Celebration -- and adds two, the full six-minute remix of "Just Can't Get Enough" and the original version of "Photographic," Depeche's ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.00!
23	Zooropa (1993) more music like this by U2 add to wishlist U2 planned to record a new EP before launching the European leg of their ambitious Zoo TV tour in 1993, but the EP quickly turned into the full-length album Zooropa. Picking up where Achtung Baby left off, Zooropa delves heavily into U2's newfound affection for experimental music and dance clubs. While the title track marries those inclinations to ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.54!
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 $8.79!
25	Greatest Hits (1990) more music like this by Devo add to wishlist While Greatest Hits contains all of the truly necessary items, it also tends to overlook some of the better album tracks from Devo's early period (easily their best work) in favor of a more balanced overview, which means that later albums receive more exposure than they really deserve. The import collection Hot Potatoes: The Best of Devo has ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.50!
