1	The Definitive Collection (2001) more music like this by ABBA The titles of hits compilations always deal in superlatives: "Greatest," "Best," "Very Best" -- but the compilers of this ABBA collection have a special problem justifying the release of yet another such album after the multi-platinum success of 1992's ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits and its 1993 follow-up, More ABBA Gold: More ABBA Hits. (Indeed, the ... see all copies from $19.52! new only from $19.52!
2	1984 (1984) more music like this by Van Halen At the time of its release, much of the fuss surrounding 1984 involved Van Halen's adoption of synthesizers on this, their sixth album -- a hoopla that was a bit of a red herring since the band had been layering in synths since their third album, Women and Children First. Those synths were either buried beneath guitars or used as texture, even on ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.65!
3	Greatest (1998) more music like this by Duran Duran Twenty years since their pop music debut, Duran Duran issued another greatest-hits collection. As if 1989's Decade wasn't stellar enough, this select package was much more solid. Greatest showcased the band's early days of glam rock décor and new romanticism to the alluring sophistication Duran Duran exuded throughout the '90s. The typical synth ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $15.98!
4	Pretty in Pink (1986) more music like this by Original Soundtrack As the auteur of post-punk suburban adolescence, director John Hughes appropriately enhanced his '80s movies with relatively harmless new wave soundtracks. Where earlier films like The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles included the occasional Wang Chung or Simple Minds track, though, 1986's Pretty in Pink boasted a full lineup of "rock of the ... see all copies from $2.00! new only from $6.31!
5	Upstairs at Eric's (1982) more music like this by Yaz Vince Clarke can claim involvement in two stunning debuts in only two years: Depeche Mode's Speak and Spell and Yaz's Upstairs at Eric's. While Speak and Spell is, by far, the more consistent record, Upstairs at Eric's is wholly more satisfying, beating the Depeche record on substance and ambition, and is light years ahead in emotion. "Don't Go" ... see all copies from $2.90! new only from $11.11!
6	The Visitors [Import Bonus Tracks] (2001) more music like this by ABBA Because it turned out to be the group's final full-length recording and was a relative commercial disappointment, ABBA's eighth album, The Visitors, tends to be viewed as an artistic failure as well. It would be more accurate to see it as a record that demonstrates the reasons for the group's breakup, in the sense that it reflects both the ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
7	Number Ones (2006) more music like this by ABBA Featuring most of Swedish pop icon ABBA's number one international hits, Number Ones is a stellar single-disc collection that well represents what made the group so popular. While there are superb double-disc collections like Definitive Collection and the exhaustive box set Thank You for the Music for fans who want more than a single-disc ... see all copies from $8.45! new only from $8.45!
8	Greatest Hits (1991) more music like this by Eurythmics It may have taken them a little while to get going, but when the Eurythmics hit their stride with their second album Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), they began a hit streak that defined them as one of the most commercially successful and musically satisfying new wave bands of the '80s. For six years, the group was reliable, turning out at least ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $19.99!
9	Only a Lad (1981) more music like this by Oingo Boingo Only a Lad introduced the world to a man who would later become one of its most recognizable popular composers. Danny Elfman, later to write the score for The Simpsons as well as countless movie soundtracks, formed Oingo Boingo in 1977, but it wasn't until Only a Lad's 1981 release that they achieved national recognition. Only a Lad contains ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $8.66!
10	Freedom of Choice (1980) more music like this by Devo With Freedom of Choice, Devo completed their transition into a full-fledged synth-pop group, producing arguably their most musically cohesive effort in the process. Synthesizers are now fully integrated into the band's sound, frequently dominating the arrangements and at least sharing equal time with the guitars. Everything is played with a cool, ... see all copies from $3.24! new only from $9.55!
11 view cover	Seven and the Ragged Tiger (1983) more music like this by Duran Duran Despite the fact that Seven and the Ragged Tiger couldn't match the unrestrained pop/rock ebullience of 1982's Rio, Duran Duran put three of the album's singles in the Top Ten, taking it to number one in the U.K. Even though "The Reflex" gave the band their first number one hit, there's an overabundance of fancy glitz and dancefloor flamboyancy ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $10.00!
12 view cover	Encomium: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Led Zeppelin have been worshipped intensely by generations of rock musicians ever since the 1969 release of their first of eight massively influential studio recordings. Despite a near-constant, and unrealistically cool critical reception, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, Robert Plant, and John Bohnam's beyond-iconic status was hardly ever in doubt, ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $9.55!
13 view cover	The Best of New Order (1995) more music like this by New Order New Order's first compilation album, Substance (1987), finally broke the group through to commercial success in the U.S. Its second one, The Best of New Order, isn't exactly Substance II . The previous set was a singles collection, and Best Of does pick up that story, including a series of songs -- "True Faith" (in a new remix), "Touched by the ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $12.91!
14 view cover	The Best of Howard Jones (1993) more music like this by Howard Jones The Best of Howard Jones compiles all the necessary material ever put forth by this pop synthesizer master and is overabundant with a hearty 18 tracks. Jones had a remarkable eight Top 40 singles throughout the course of the mid-1980s, churning out keyboard laden dance/pop songs that were bright and lively. His debut album, Human's Lib, was a ... see all copies from $5.98! new only from $11.11!
15 view cover	Notorious (1986) more music like this by Duran Duran 1986's Notorious has Andy Taylor contributing on only four songs before leaving to start his solo career, but on the strength of the title track's number two placing and "Skin Trade's number 39 mark, the album itself peaked at number 12 in the U.S. and number 16 in the U.K. On the whole, only "Notorious" showed any real livelihood, thanks to its ... see all copies from $2.90! new only from $11.13!
16 view cover	Dead Man's Party (1985) more music like this by Oingo Boingo Returning after a two-year recording hiatus (during which bandleader Danny Elfman recorded a solo album), Oingo Boingo forsook the excesses of smart-aleck humor and quirky production that had led critics almost universally to dismiss the band's first four albums. The sound is still maybe just a bit too uptight and over-determined, but the horn ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
17 view cover	Black Celebration (1986) more music like this by Depeche Mode Whether the band felt it was simply the time to move on from its most explicit industrial-pop fusion days, or whether increased success and concurrently larger venues pushed the music into different avenues, Depeche Mode's fifth studio album, Black Celebration, saw the group embarking on a path that in many ways defined their sound to the present: ... see all copies from $2.04! new only from $14.90!
18 view cover	Rio [Bonus Video Tracks] (2001) more music like this by Duran Duran From its Nagel cover to the haircuts and overall design - and first and foremost the music -Rio is as representative of the eighties as it gets, at its best. The original Duran Duran's high point, and just as likely the band's as a whole, its fusion of style and substance ensures that even two decades after its release it remains as listenable and ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
19 view cover	Casting Shadows (2003) more music like this by Wolfsheim The acoustic guitar in "Kein Zurück" should be the first indication that Wolfsheim is maturing. It's a tad unusual for this synth pop notable, but this unexpected element fits in acceptably after the initial jolt. Another chance the German duo takes is slowing things down a notch. The first half of Casting Shadows hovers around 100 bpm. After the ... see all copies from $10.65! new only from $14.47!
20 view cover	Substance (1987) more music like this by New Order 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 $11.98! new only from $22.26!
21 view cover	A Flock of Seagulls (1982) more music like this by A Flock of Seagulls The Liverpool quintet A Flock of Seagulls first gained attention in the dance clubs with "Telecommunication," included on this debut release. The band benefited from heavy play on MTV and quickly became known for their outrageous fashion and lead singer Mike Score's waterfall-like haircut. However, their self-titled debut is an enjoyable romp that ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $11.06!
22 view cover	The Golden Age of Wireless (1982) more music like this by Thomas Dolby Talk to anyone who was the right age in the early '80s for both pop radio and the dawn of MTV and "She Blinded Me With Science" will inevitably come up. The most famous song from the reissued version of the album, it's a defiantly quirky, strange number that mixes its pop hooks with unusual keyboard melodies pitched very low and a recurrent spoken ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $11.13!
23 view cover	The Best of Depeche Mode, Vol. 1 (2006) more music like this by Depeche Mode Consider this a primer, because there is no way a career spanning 25 years can be summarized justifiably within the cramped space of an 80-minute disc. The Best of Depeche Mode, Vol. 1 takes a very selective skip through the group's past, and it leaves no room for anything off Black Celebration -- an album many fans (albeit the most depressive ... see all copies from $16.85! new only from $16.85!
24 view cover	Duran Duran (1981) more music like this by Duran Duran Duran Duran's eponymous debut artfully coalesced the sonic and stylistic elements of the burgeoning new romantic movement they were soon to spearhead: pumping synths, glossy production, and seemingly impossible haircuts. Ultra-smart singles like "Girls on Film" and "Planet Earth" became instant smash hits both in the U.K. and America, and other ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.67!
25 view cover	Power, Corruption & Lies (1983) more music like this by New Order New Order's second album was their giant step out of the looming shadow of Joy Division, clearly establishing their own unique and innovative musical identity. Seamlessly incorporating Gillian Gilbert's lush synth patterns into the mix, Power, Corruption & Lies springs from the propulsive, almost liquid bass of Peter Hook and the increasingly ... see all copies from $15.90!
