1	The Very Best of Todd Rundgren (1997) more music like this by Todd Rundgren 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 $5.48! new only from $6.77!
2	Empire Records (1995) more music like this by Original Soundtrack 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 $8.66!
3	Authorized Greatest Hits (2000) more music like this by Cheap Trick 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 $3.85! new only from $6.60!
4	#1 Record/Radio City (1992) more music like this by Big Star A two-fer combining Big Star's first and second albums, #1 Record/Radio City remains a definitive document of early-'70s American power pop and a virtual blueprint for much of the finest alternative rock that came after it. The lone Big Star record to merit the full participation of founder Chris Bell, the brightly produced #1 Record splits the ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $12.10!
5	Saturday Morning: Cartoons' Greatest Hits (1995) more music like this by Various Artists At least since the mid-'60s, there has been a dubious but undeniable connection between kids' television and novelty pop songs. With the rise of the Archies in the latter part of the decade, Saturday morning TV became saturated throughout the early '70s with wacky adventures of young-ish hipsters who just happened to be able to break into super ... see all copies from $2.50! new only from $8.00!
6	Spilt Milk (1993) more music like this by Jellyfish For their second album, Jellyfish replaced the departed Jason Falkner with Tim Smith on bass. Jon Brion also came aboard with Lyle Workman to add to lead singer Andy Sturmer's guitar work. With Sturmer and keyboard player Roger Manning in place, however, Jellyfish managed to outdo their impressive debut with 1993's Spilt Milk. Spilt Milk expands ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $10.79!
7	The Very Best of Badfinger (2000) more music like this by Badfinger 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 $10.49! new only from $14.43!
8	The Best of Rick Springfield [RCA] (1999) more music like this by Rick Springfield see all copies from $5.80! new only from $15.75!
9	Our Little Corner of the World: Music From the Gilmore Girls (2002) more music like this by Original Television Soundtrack 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 $12.41! new only from $16.52!
10	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Donnie Iris (2001) more music like this by Donnie Iris There are a lot of power poppers that traditionalist power pop fans don't like to give credit to. These are musicians that could craft a song and carve out a hook, but dressed these tunes in very commercial productions -- and, even though these came at the height of power pop, that commercial production made these artists seem lesser than the ... see all copies from $7.44! new only from $8.44!
11 view cover	At Budokan (1979) more music like this by Cheap Trick While their records were entertaining and full of skillful pop, it wasn't until At Budokan that Cheap Trick's vision truly gelled. Many of these songs, like "I Want You to Want Me" and "Big Eyes," were pleasant in their original form, but seemed more like sketches compared to the roaring versions on this album. With their ear-shatteringly loud ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.29!
12 view cover	No Alternative (1993) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $13.57!
13 view cover	She's Having a Baby (1988) more music like this by Original Soundtrack 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 $11.13!
14 view cover	Kihnsolidation: The Best of Greg Kihn (1989) more music like this by Greg Kihn Rhino's Greg Kihn retrospective is definitive, drawing from each of the straightforward pop-rocker's albums, including all of his hit singles, and even continuing his long history of album titles built around name-derived puns (1981's Rockihnroll, 1985's Citizen Kihn, etc.). Kihnsolidation includes the hits "Breakup Song" and "Jeopardy," as well ... see all copies from $13.74!
15 view cover	Something/Anything? (1972) more music like this by Todd Rundgren Others had recorded one-man albums before Todd Rundgren, most notably Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney, but with Something/Anything? he captured the homemade ambience of McCartney with the visionary feel of Music of My Mind, adding an encyclopedic knowledge of pop music from Gilbert & Sullivan through Jimi Hendrix, plus the crazed zeal of a ... see all copies from $3.90! new only from $12.57!
16 view cover	Sweet Relief: A Benefit for Victoria Williams (1993) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $3.69!
17 view cover	Drive Me Crazy (1999) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to Drive Me Crazy features lots of appropriately teen-friendly artists like Britney Spears, who performs the film's theme song, the Backstreet Boys, Jars Of Clay, Plumb, the Donnas, Less Than Jake and the Barenaked Ladies. Don Phillips's "Sugar" and Steps' "One For Sorrow" are also featured singles from the album. Heather Phares, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.99!
18 view cover	Strength (1991) more music like this by Enuff Z'Nuff At the start of their career, Chicago's Enuff Z'Nuff were touted as the rightful heirs to Cheap Trick thanks to their uncanny talent for combining alluring pop melodies with controlled hard rock crunch. Like their late-'70s heroes, Enuff Z'Nuff took most of their inspiration from a single influence: the Beatles. And where the Trick imbued their ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.43!
19 view cover	Hermit of Mink Hollow (1978) more music like this by Todd Rundgren 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 $6.00! new only from $8.60!
20 view cover	Magic Christian Music (1970) more music like this by Badfinger If Badfinger's debut album Magic Christian Music sounds patchy, there's a reason why: It was assembled from three different sources. Although the title suggests that the record is a soundtrack to The Magic Christian it isn't. It's a hodgepodge, containing the group's three contributions to the film, six highlights from the band's pre-Badfinger ... see all copies from $10.65! new only from $14.43!
21 view cover	Faithful (1976) more music like this by Todd Rundgren Todd Rundgren considered 1966 the beginning of his professional musical career, largely because the Nazz formed around that time. As a celebration, he recorded Faithful. Presumably, Faithful celebrates the past and the future by juxtaposing a side of original pop material with a side of covers. Actually, "covers" isn't accurate -- the six oldies ... see all copies from $6.80! new only from $9.20!
22 view cover	Working Class Hero: A Tribute to John Lennon (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.49! new only from $9.00!
23 view cover	Bellybutton (1990) more music like this by Jellyfish Including lead singer/guitarist Andy Sturmer, bassist Jason Falkner, and keyboardist Roger Manning, the San Francisco band Jellyfish released their 1990 debut Bellybutton to critical raves. Despite the kudos and some play at video outlets, the album failed to make much of a commercial impact. It was truly unfortunate because Bellybutton, despite ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.22!
24 view cover	Straight Up (1971) more music like this by Badfinger Straight Up winds up somewhat less dynamic than No Dice, largely because that record alternated its rockers, pop tunes, and ballads. Here, everything is at a similar level, as the ballads are made grander and the rockers have their melodic side emphasized. Consequently, the record sounds more unified than No Dice, which had a bit of a split ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $12.10!
25 view cover	Initiation (1975) more music like this by Todd Rundgren Returning to solo recording almost immediately after forming Utopia, Todd Rundgren continued with the synth-heavy prog rock he pioneered with Todd Rundgren's Utopia on Initiation. The differences immediately resonate with "Real Man," a terrific song that encapsulates not only his newfound fondness for electronics, but also his burgeoning ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.89!
