1	Some Great Reward (1984) more music like this by Depeche Mode add to wishlist The peak of the band's industrial-gone-mainstream fusion, and still one of the best electronic music albums yet recorded, Some Great Reward still sounds great, with the band's ever-evolving musical and production skills matching even more ambitious songwriting from Martin Gore. "People Are People" appears here, but finds itself outclassed by some ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.51!
2	1984 (1984) more music like this by Van Halen add to wishlist 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 $4.48!
3	Greatest (1998) more music like this by Duran Duran add to wishlist see all copies from $8.37! new only from $11.00!
4	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!
5	Pure 80's (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Although there's nothing particularly out of the ordinary of Pure 80's, it nevertheless is a good, basic collection of 20 new wave hits, highlighted by such classics as "Hungry Like the Wolf," "Our House," "Relax," "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," "Video Killed the Radio Star," "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," and Soft Cell's timeless ... see all copies from $10.54! new only from $10.54!
6	The Singles 86>98 (1998) more music like this by Depeche Mode add to wishlist It took Depeche Mode only four years to assemble their first singles compilation, but 12 to assemble The Singles 86>98. Appropriately, the second set was much more ambitious than The Singles 81>85, spanning two discs and 20 songs, plus a live version of "Everything Counts." The Singles 86>98 was an album that many fans, both casual and hardcore, ... see all copies from $4.68! new only from $19.35!
7	The Ultimate Collection (2005) more music like this by Eurythmics add to wishlist Preceding the elaborate 2005 reissues of Eurythmics' eight proper albums by a month, The Ultimate Collection narrowly trumps 1991's Greatest Hits since it features remastered sound and a more extensive track list. While it does not contain "Don't Ask Me Again," opting to instead select a couple merely decent highlights from 1999's Peace, two new ... see all copies from $5.69! new only from $6.13!
8	Boingo Alive (1988) more music like this by Oingo Boingo add to wishlist Not quite a greatest-hits album and not quite a live album, Oingo Boingo celebrates not quite a decade of existence with the peculiar double album Boingo Alive. Elfman and bandmates re-record two dozen tracks from Boingo's prodigious canon in no particular order, and sweeten the deal by tossing in a few freshly penned numbers. The thrust of the ... see all copies from $13.00! new only from $17.09!
9	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!
10	Hunting High and Low (1985) more music like this by a-ha add to wishlist Anyone who dismissed a-ha as a one-hit wonder must have missed out on the band's fine debut, Hunting High and Low. Though the band spawned many further hits across the rest of the world, "Take on Me" exploded in the States and the group never cracked the top of the charts again. It's a shame, because the album contains a handful of songs that ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $9.89!
11	At Worst...The Best of Boy George and Culture Club (1993) more music like this by Culture Club add to wishlist The success of "The Crying Game" marked a comeback for Boy George, especially in the U.S., where his solo career had never taken hold beyond the dance clubs, and SBK (distributor of his label, Virgin) took advantage of his resurgence by compiling this 75-minute, 19-track album, which combines his former group Culture Club's biggest hits with ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.94!
12	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!
13	Pretty in Pink (1986) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist 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 $3.33! new only from $7.65!
14	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!
15	The Best of Howard Jones (1993) more music like this by Howard Jones add to wishlist 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 $3.94! new only from $8.54!
16	Voices & Images (1988) more music like this by Camouflage add to wishlist When it was played on modern rock radio stations in 1988, Camouflage had everybody duped with "The Great Commandment." With its chilly synths, robotic percussion, and gloomy vocals, the song was a Depeche Mode doppelganger. Similarly, Camouflage's debut album Voices & Images is the sound of young men who couldn't stop playing Depeche Mode's Black ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.89!
17	Level Best (1989) more music like this by Level 42 add to wishlist Polydor's Level Best is a thorough, successful overview of the smooth, jazzy British sophisti-pop outfit, containing all of their biggest hits and best material, including the sublime "Something About You." At 18 tracks, it may run a little long, but it still is as comprehensive a summary of Level 42's career as could be hoped. ~ Stephen Thomas ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $6.29!
18	Pop Goes the World (1987) more music like this by Men Without Hats add to wishlist Men Without Hats broke big with their 1982 debut, Rhythm of Youth. Though they never maintained that level of success, their third album Pop Goes the World was a smart, well-crafted, woefully underrated offering. The album chronicles the quest for and backlash of fame on songs like the title track, on which Ivan sings "Johnny and Jenny had a crazy ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.98!
19	Dead Man's Party (1985) more music like this by Oingo Boingo add to wishlist 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 $4.03! new only from $7.65!
20	Shout: The Very Best of Tears for Fears (2001) more music like this by Tears for Fears add to wishlist Shout: The Very Best of Tears for Fears provides an excellent overview of the band's key tracks, including all their hit singles, beginning with tracks from their first album, The Hurting, and ending with tracks from the post-Curt Smith album Elemental. (Curt Smith, one-half the duo, left after 1989's The Seeds of Love). Tears for Fears already ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $11.54!
21	The Best of Depeche Mode, Vol. 1 (2006) more music like this by Depeche Mode add to wishlist 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 $2.47! new only from $13.94!
22	Greatest Hits [Arista] (1996) more music like this by Thompson Twins add to wishlist During the '80s, Thompson Twins arguably produced the finest synth-pop singles, and Greatest Hits recollects their industrious years with Arista in clear, digitally remastered sound. Numerous collections exist in the Twins' catalog and nearly equal their studio albums, but Greatest Hits prevails as the most essential as it offers a definitive ... see all copies from $6.67! new only from $6.67!
23	More Pure 80's (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist More Pure '80s delivers just that: a collection of some of the decade's definitive pop singles. Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus," the Eurhythmics' "Would I Lie to You," and Duran Duran's "Rio" are among the highlights of this adequate compilation, which also features songs by Hall & Oates, Tears for Fears, and Pat Benatar. ~ Heather Phares, All Music ... see all copies from $7.98! new only from $10.54!
24	Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) [Bonus Tracks] (1983) more music like this by Eurythmics add to wishlist The Eurythmics' breakthrough album is a deft mix of electronic thrills, new wave chills, and sultry R&B, the latter supplied by Annie Lennox's warm tenor. Pretty much relying on themselves, Lennox and Dave Stewart slip past the music's usual coldness and into a territory all their own. It can be smug (the new wave here is served with a side of ... see all copies from $6.72! new only from $6.72!
25	Evolution: The Hits (2003) more music like this by Dead or Alive add to wishlist Evolution: The Hits is a good summary of Dead or Alive's most popular material, concentrating on their chart hits. And there were more of those than you might remember -- eight are included that made the U.K. listings, along with four that made the U.S. charts (all of which charted in the U.K., too), including "You Spin Me Around (Like a Record)," ... see all copies from $6.06! new only from $6.06!
