1	Under the Covers, Vol. 1 (2006) more music like this by Matthew Sweet/Susanna Hoffs add to wishlist Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs have always displayed an unapologetic love of '60s pop in their own music, and they even teamed up as part of the pop supergroup Ming Tea to record the terrific "BBC" for the first Austin Powers film, so the duo's 2006 album, Under the Covers, Vol. 1, feels logical and right. With this record, the two -- who have ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $11.38!
2	The Very Best of Badfinger (2000) more music like this by Badfinger add to wishlist The difference between 2000's The Very Best of Badfinger and 1995's Come and Get It: The Best of Badfinger is a simple one -- the 1995 collection concentrated on the group's Apple recordings, where the 2000 collection runs all the way until 1974's Wish You Were Here, the band's final album with Pete Ham. Not only does the collection benefit from ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $11.25!
3	Empire Records (1995) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The soundtrack to a movie that was barely released, Empire Records is a fine collection of mainstream alternative pop/rock, featuring two hit singles -- the menacing Motown-meets-Bowie pop of Edwyn Collins' "A Girl like You," and the folky "Till I Hear It from You" from The Gin Blossoms. The rest of the album is hit-or-miss -- mostly noticeable ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.22!
4	Hermit of Mink Hollow (1978) more music like this by Todd Rundgren add to wishlist Over the course of 1977, Todd Rundgren moved Utopia toward a more pop-oriented direction, winding up with the slick mainstream arena rock of Oops! Wrong Planet. With that in mind, it makes sense that The Hermit of Mink Hollow -- his first full-fledged solo album since Initiation, if you discount the half-cover/half-original Faithful -- finds ... see all copies from $4.27! new only from $5.40!
5	My Sharona (1992) more music like this by The Knack add to wishlist My Sharona is a budget-priced, 10-track selection that features some of the Knack's biggest hits, including "My Sharona" and "I Want Ya." Even though it leaves off some essential items (including "Good Girls Don't"), it may be of interest to budget-minded casual fans. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.56!
6	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!
7	Authorized Greatest Hits (2000) more music like this by Cheap Trick add to wishlist This is an "authorized" greatest hits collection in the sense that the band picked the selections themselves. It's preferable to the 1991 Greatest Hits comp for its slightly greater length (16 songs) and better choice of material; the single version of "Southern Girls" makes it on this time around, for instance. Still, like that other album with ... see all copies from $6.06! new only from $6.06!
8	Twin Cinema (2005) more music like this by The New Pornographers add to wishlist When the New Pornographers released their first album, Mass Romantic, in 2000, they were a cult sensation, partially because they were comprised of cult sensations from Vancouver, chief among them Carl Newman of Zumpano, Dan Bejar of Destroyer, and alt-country singer/songwriter Neko Case. Not longer after that first album, Case started to earn ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.21!
9	The Very Best of Todd Rundgren (1997) more music like this by Todd Rundgren add to wishlist The Very Best of Todd Rundgren distills the Runt's career to just the hit singles, which is surprisingly effective. Most casual Todd fans will only want the hits -- "We Gotta Get You a Woman," "I Saw the Light," "Hello, It's Me," "Bang on the Drum" -- and not invest in the double-disc set Anthology (1968-1985), which simply contains too much music ... see all copies from $4.36! new only from $8.02!
10	Our Little Corner of the World: Music From the Gilmore Girls (2002) more music like this by Original Television Soundtrack add to wishlist Even though independent and underground rock and pop play a significant role in the critically acclaimed WB TV show The Gilmore Girls, it's still surprising just how much hip and diverse music is on Our Little Corner of the World: Music From the Gilmore Girls. In fact, the soundtrack -- released in conjunction with the beginning of the show's ... see all copies from $7.42! new only from $15.36!
11	Classic Rock Gold (2005) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist With an oversaturation of budget-line compilations and titles purporting to be the "definitive" or "ultimate" collection of classic rock available, it's easy to approach Classic Rock Gold with a heavy hand of skepticism. However, one look at the track listing should wipe that notion right away, as this two-disc set is packed with some of the ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $15.32!
12	The Greatest Hits [Expanded] (1991) more music like this by Cheap Trick add to wishlist Despite the fact that much of Cheap Trick's best material didn't come near the charts -- many of their greatest songs, including "He's a Whore," "Oh, Candy," "Downed," "Southern Girls," and "Auf Wiedersehen" were never singles -- the Greatest Hits compilation remains a good sampler since it contains such classics as "I Want You to Want Me," ... see all copies from $3.07! new only from $3.07!
13	Electric Version (2003) more music like this by The New Pornographers add to wishlist Three years after the sonic honey of Mass Romantic, the New Pornographers come up smiling once more with their sophomore effort and Matador debut, Electric Version. These beloved indie rockers stick with the syrupy goodness found on their first album, but opt to turn the amps up for a brighter, slicker sound, hence the title. It's a kitschy play ... see all copies from $9.21! new only from $9.21!
14	I Am the Cosmos (1992) more music like this by Chris Bell add to wishlist Unreleased for over 15 years, I Am the Cosmos is nevertheless an enduring testament to the brilliance of Chris Bell; lyrically poignant and melodically stunning, this lone solo album is proof positive of his underappreciated pop mastery. While cuts like "Get Away," "I Got Kinda Lost," and "Fight at the Table" recall the glowing, energetic power ... see all copies from $9.89! new only from $9.89!
15	Get the Knack [Bonus Tracks] (1979) more music like this by The Knack add to wishlist The Knack attempted to update the Beatles sound for the new wave era on their debut. A good idea that was well executed, but critics cried "foul" when millions sold after Capitol's pre-release hype (it went gold in 13 days and eventually sold five million copies, making it one of the most successful debuts in history). Get the Knack is at once ... see all copies from $9.46! new only from $9.46!
16	The Best of Rick Springfield [RCA] (1999) more music like this by Rick Springfield add to wishlist see all copies from $8.08! new only from $8.08!
17	Greatest Hits of the 80's [Platinum Disc] (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $10.27! new only from $10.27!
18	Third/Sister Lovers (1992) more music like this by Big Star add to wishlist A shambling wreck of an album, Big Star's Third/Sister Lovers ranks among the most harrowing experiences in pop music; impassioned, erratic, and stark, it's the slow, sinking sound of a band falling apart. Recorded with their label, Stax, poised on the verge of bankruptcy, the album finds Alex Chilton at the end of his rope, sabotaging his own ... see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!
19	Elva (2002) more music like this by Unwritten Law add to wishlist Taking a cue from fellow alternative pop bands like Everclear, Unwritten Law beefs up its production and plays with its trademark sound on Elva. The band is moving farther away from the anemic punk rock that made it a critical bull's-eye in the '90s, and the newer pop direction fits Unwritten Law's abilities perfectly. The only real issue with the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.77!
20	Lost Songs of Lennon & McCartney (2003) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Tribute albums are a dime a dozen, but Lost Songs of Lennon & McCartney improves on the concept. Where most tributes simply recycle familiar material in familiar ways (or in strained reinterpretations of the songs), this focuses on 17 songs that John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote but gave to other artists, or never officially released as Beatles ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
21	She's Having a Baby (1988) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist She's Having a Baby was the last in a series of 1980s coming-of-age movies written and usually directed by John Hughes, following Sixteen Candles (1984), The Breakfast Club (1985), Pretty in Pink (1986), Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), and Some Kind of Wonderful (1987). In the earlier films, Hughes had focused on high school, but She's Having a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.83!
22	Working Class Hero: A Tribute to John Lennon (1995) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.92!
23	Sweet Relief: A Benefit for Victoria Williams (1993) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The shear breadth and diversity of artists gathered for this benefit project, Sweet Relief: A Benefit for Victoria Williams, is a tribute to the affection Victoria Williams' peers had for her. It conveniently also makes for heady listening for any fan of contemporary music. The hard, brittle edges of Soul Asylum ("Summer of Drugs") and Buffalo Tom ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.54!
24	Marshall Crenshaw [1982] (1982) more music like this by Marshall Crenshaw add to wishlist In retrospect, 1982 was a brief, exhilarating moment in between the fall of disco and the rise of MTV, when the eternal verities of real rock & roll broke through once again. The punk and new wave music of the late '70s had given way to power-pop, a return to catchy, relatively unadorned guitar rock. In that context, it was easy to see Marshall ... see all copies from $2.25! new only from $6.65!
25	Tao (1985) more music like this by Rick Springfield add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.99!
