1	Eddie & the Cruisers [Original Soundtrack] (1983) more music like this by Original Soundtrack There was a year's delay before this film, which concerns the mysterious death of a fictional '60s rock star, took off via video and cable TV; but when it did, the soundtrack album, featuring such songs as "On the Dark Side" and "Tender Years," by John Cafferty And The Beaver Brown Band, took off with it. To most, the music sounded like Bruce ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $4.75!
2	The Best That I Could Do 1978-1988 (1997) more music like this by John Mellencamp The Best That I Could Do is an appropriately self-deprecating title for John Mellencamp's greatest-hits collection, considering that the heartland rocker never seemed too convinced of his own worth. Of course, he had to struggle to get any respect after he was saddled with the stage name Johnny Cougar early in his career, but this 14-track ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.97!
3	Greatest Hits (2006) more music like this by Huey Lewis & The News There have been many Huey Lewis & the News hits compilations released overseas, but 2006's simply named Greatest Hits is only the second U.S. comp, following Time Flies, which appeared a decade earlier. At a generous 21 tracks, Greatest Hits is not only five songs longer than Time Flies, but it's a better-chosen collection, too. It may be missing ... see all copies from $11.14! new only from $16.51!
4	Greatest Hits [1993] (1993) more music like this by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers All of Tom Petty's biggest hits collected, along with two new tracks -- the excellent "Mary Jane's Last Dance" and a cover of Thunderclap Newman's "Something in the Air" -- on one essential disc. Everything from "American Girl" to "Free Fallin'" is included, with 16 tracks proving that Petty is one of the best rockers of his time. Stephen Thomas ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.75!
5	Words & Music: John Mellencamp's Greatest Hits (2004) more music like this by John Mellencamp John Mellencamp has been in need of a thorough, career-spanning compilation for a while, and Island/UTV's 2004 release Words & Music: John Mellencamp's Greatest Hits finally fills that gap. His previous hits collection, 1997's The Best That I Could Do, was too short, since he had more hits than could fit on a brief 14-track disc. Words & Music ... see all copies from $7.40! new only from $13.95!
6	Playback (1995) more music like this by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers The consequence of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' enduring affection for the music of the mid-'60s was that, in essence, they were a singles band, a fact driven home on the first three CDs of the six-disc set Playback; even when abbreviating each of their first nine studio albums to four to six cuts, the songs break down into the hits and the ... see all copies from $39.57! new only from $42.85!
7	Solid Ice (2007) more music like this by Jimmy Thackery & the Drivers Ex-Nighthawks guitarist Jimmy Thackery has been playing his own brand of blues-tinged rock as a solo artist for some twenty years now (he left the Nighthawks in 1987) and there's no denying that he's a first-class guitarist with a sharp ear for tone and a knack for perfectly placed fills and evocative leads. His quavering, shaky voice is a problem ... see all copies from $8.82! new only from $15.40!
8	Eddie & the Cruisers 2: Eddie Lives! (1989) more music like this by John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band The soundtrack to the sequel for Eddie & the Cruisers follows the basic blueprint of John Cafferty's songs for the first film -- they're all high-energy, pounding three-chord rock & roll, sounding a bit like Bruce Springsteen or Bob Seger. There may not be a song as good as "The Dark Side," but the music is still enjoyable for hardcore fans of the ... see all copies from $8.17! new only from $11.06!
9	Anthology: Through the Years (2000) more music like this by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers For the fan that wants more than the superb single-disc Greatest Hits yet doesn't want to delve into actual albums or the exhaustive, rarities-heavy box set Playback, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers and MCA Records offered the double-disc Anthology: Through the Years in the fall of 2000. This set basically offers all the singles and album rock radio ... see all copies from $15.44! new only from $19.52!
10	Sports [Expanded Edition] (1999) more music like this by Huey Lewis & the News Picture This found Huey Lewis and the News developing a signature sound, but they truly came into their own on their third album, Sports. It's true that the record holds together better than its predecessors because it has a clear, professional production, but the real key is the songs. Where their previous albums were cluttered with generic ... see all copies from $10.65! new only from $14.43!
11 view cover	Eddie & the Cruisers: The Unreleased Tapes (1991) more music like this by John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band Since Eddie & the Cruisers were a fictional band to begin with, the idea of a collection of unreleased material is sort of ridiculous. Of course, these are unreleased and new recordings by John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band, the group that provided all of the music for the semi-legendary Eddie & the Cruisers. Most of Cafferty's best songs ... see all copies from $7.92! new only from $11.06!

13 view cover	Sports (1983) more music like this by Huey Lewis & the News Picture This found Huey Lewis and the News developing a signature sound, but they truly came into their own on their third album, Sports.

14 view cover	American Fool [Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this by John Mellencamp John Cougar's first albums were so bereaved of strong material that the lean swagger of American Fool came as a shock. The difference is evident from the opening song, "Hurts So Good," a hard, Stonesy rocker with an irresistibly sleazy hook. Cougar never wrote anything as catchy as this before, nor had his romantic vision of small-town America ... see all copies from $3.14! new only from $3.14!
15 view cover	Dance Naked (1994) more music like this by John Mellencamp The weary rock of Human Wheels was generally ignored, so John Mellencamp quickly banged out Dance Naked, a brief collection of by-the-book rockers. Since he and his band are professionals and fine craftsmen, it's an enjoyable record, but it has even fewer standout songs than the similar Whenever We Wanted. It's a problem that a cover of Van ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.49!
16 view cover	Green Thoughts (1988) more music like this by The Smithereens The Smithereens' excellent sophomore effort picks up where their debut, Especially for You, left off, with Pat DiNizio delivering another impressive batch of superbly constructed pop gems; tracks like "Only a Memory," "House We Used to Live In," and "Drown in My Own Tears" are immediately ingratiating -- instantly familiar, yet performed with more ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.49!
17 view cover	Uh-Huh (1983) more music like this by John Cougar Mellencamp Since American Fool illustrated that John Cougar was becoming an actual songwriter, it's only proper that he reclaimed his actual last name, Mellencamp, for the follow-up, Uh-Huh. After all, now that he had success, he wanted to be taken seriously, and Uh-Huh reflects that in its portraits of brokenhearted life in the Midwest and its rumbling ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.47!
18 view cover	Picture This (1982) more music like this by Huey Lewis & the News Huey Lewis and the News sound considerably more focused on their second album, Picture This. By incorporating stronger elements of R&B and doo wop (their cover of "Buzz Buzz Buzz" is first-rate) and embracing pop to a much greater extent, the News find their own distinctive sound -- clean-cut, steady middle-class rock & roll. They still suffer ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $11.13!
19 view cover	Tough All Over (1985) more music like this by John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band On the strength of the double platinum soundtrack to Eddie and the Cruisers, John Cafferty And The Beaver Brown Band were able to record Tough All Over, an album of their original songs, and release it under their own name. Released in the summer of 1985 at the tail-end of Eddie-mania, the record managed to spawn hard-rocking Top 40 hits, "C-I-T-Y ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.06!
20 view cover	Especially for You (1986) more music like this by The Smithereens The Smithereens' superb full-length debut Especially for You marries an unapologetically nostalgic affection for the melodic crunch of the British Invasion era with an equally unapologetic helping of postmodern melancholia. In tandem with Don Dixon's moodily atmospheric production, Pat DiNizio's lovelorn lyrics and world-weary vocals reveal the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.73!
21 view cover	Small World (1988) more music like this by Huey Lewis & the News Small World was another platinum hit for Huey Lewis & the News, but the album is weaker than their previous three records. Lewis tries to position himself as a socially conscious rocker -- no less than three tracks have the word "world" in their title -- writing songs about the perilous state of the environment and urging everybody to live ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
22 view cover	Let Me Up (I've Had Enough) (1987) more music like this by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers spent much of 1986 on the road as Bob Dylan's backing band. Dylan's presence proved to be a huge influence on the Heartbreakers, turning them away from the well-intentioned but slick pretensions of Southern Accents and toward a loose, charmingly ramshackle roots rock that harked back to their roots yet exhibited the ... see all copies from $3.37! new only from $3.37!
23 view cover	Blow Up (1991) more music like this by The Smithereens Sometimes it seems like the Smithereens' entire career was mistimed. After the relative success of 11, Pat DiNizio and company returned with their most straightforward and mainstream-ready release yet in Blow Up. Produced by Ed Stasium, the mix is arena ready and clean, and DiNizio co-wrote two of the disc's most accessible songs with songwriters ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
24 view cover	11 (1989) more music like this by The Smithereens The third full-length album from the Smithereens, 11 (a title which presumably referred to Spinal Tap's fabled guitar amps, which could be cranked past 10), was something of a letdown after the solid, tough-pop perfection of their first two albums, Especially for You and Green Thoughts. While their previous sets boasted strong material from front ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.85!
25 view cover	Message for the Mess Age (1994) more music like this by NRBQ This title became the final studio effort from NRBQ to include Al Anderson (guitar/vocals), marking the conclusion of their 23-year association. The split was ultimately amicable, with Anderson effectively retiring from both the band as well as touring, preferring to mine his considerable songwriting talents in Nashville, TN. Message for the Mess ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.75!
