1	Greatest Hits (2000) more music like this by The Pretenders The Pretenders' 1987 collection, The Singles, did a fine job of assembling most of the group's finest tracks up to that point in their career, so after another decade passed, their record company felt it was necessary to compile a more "updated" collection, 2000's Euro-only release Greatest Hits. Although it contains a total of 20 tracks, Greatest ... see all copies from $7.47! new only from $13.23!
2	Pirate Radio (2006) more music like this by The Pretenders To say that Warner/Rhino/Sire's 2006 four-CD, one-DVD box set Pirate Radio is for the die-hard Pretenders fan may be stating the obvious -- after all, career-spanning multi-disc sets heavy on rarities are by definition for diehards. But die-hard Pretenders fans are different than other die-hard fans, since they can be easily split into two ... see all copies from $54.95! new only from $54.95!
3	The Singles (1987) more music like this by The Pretenders The Pretenders burst on the scene in the early '80s with one of the most compelling presentations of rock & roll ever seen. This collection, which highlights their A and B sides up until the mid-'80s, shows that Chrissie Hynde and co-conspirators were true masters of the rock single. Tracks such as "Brass in Pocket," "Middle of the Road," and the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.00!
4	The Isle of View (1995) more music like this by The Pretenders Essentially, Isle of View is The Pretenders' "unplugged" album. Chrissie Hynde runs through 15 of the group's songs, from hits like "Back on the Chain Gang" to more obscure numbers like "Lovers of Today." Occasionally, she is backed by a string quartet, including on a drastically rearranged (and poorly conceived) "Kid," but the the strings aren't ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
5	Learning to Crawl (1984) more music like this by The Pretenders Chrissie Hynde took a long, hard road to rock & roll stardom, but when her band, the Pretenders, finally broke through in 1979, they wasted no time, growing from promising newcomers on the British music scene to major international stardom with a pair of smash albums to their credit in a mere three years. But the Pretenders' meteoric rise came to ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $7.88!
6	Only Dance: 1980-1984 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists It's Only Dance 1980-1984 follows the pattern of JCI's It's Only series, offering a seemingly random collection of 20 hits from a given genre or style for a period of five years.These songs weren't necessarily the biggest hits of these five years, although there are a number of classics and smashes here. It may be hard to deduce exactly why these ... see all copies from $2.88! new only from $9.31!
7	MTV Class of 1983 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists The double-disc MTV Class of 1983 attempts to distill the essence of early MTV to 30 tracks from the biggest names and most popular one-hit wonders of that year. The approach works remarkably well, as the compilation features many new wave classics that effortlessly evoke 1983. The sheer size of MTV Class of 1983 distinguishes it from other new ... see all copies from $5.20!
8	Learning to Crawl [Bonus Tracks] (2007) more music like this by Pretenders Chrissie Hynde took a long, hard road to rock & roll stardom, but when her band, the Pretenders, finally broke through in 1979, they wasted no time, growing from promising newcomers on the British music scene to major international stardom with a pair of smash albums to their credit in a mere three years. But the Pretenders' meteoric rise came to ... see all copies from $9.81! new only from $9.81!

10	Just Say Sire: The Sire Records Story (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Asking a dozen music fans about their impressions of Sire, a label founded by Seymour Stein and Richard Gottehrer in 1966, would likely yield several dissimilar responses. Sire was the label to boost American punk bands like Ramones, Talking Heads, and Richard Hell & the Voidoids, only to call them new wave in an effort to make them seem less ... see all copies from $77.84! new only from $77.84!
11 view cover	Casey Kasem: America's Top 10 Through Years - The 80's (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The 1980s edition of Casey Kasem's America's Top 10 series offers a nice cross-section of the decade's biggest radio hits. There's adult contemporary (Air Supply's "All Out of Love"; the cloying Mechanics hit "Living Years"), synth pop from Thompson Twins and Eurythmics ("Hold Me Now" and "Sweet Dreams [Are Made of This]," respectively), ... see all copies from $7.97! new only from $10.81!

19 view cover	Ultimate Hits: Ultimate 80's (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Warner's Ultimate Hits budget-line series looks to the 1980s this time around, including enduring hits like INXS's "New Sensation," Yes' "Owner of a Lonely Heart," and Steve Winwood's "Higher Love" next to almost novelties (Diamond Dave's run at "California Girls") and songs killed by lax licensing ("Whip It"). In between, the Georgia Satellites ... see all copies from $3.61! new only from $3.61!
20 view cover	Ultimate 80s [Madacy] (2004) more music like this by Various Artists The songs chosen for inclusion on Madacy's Ultimate 80s span the entire decade. The set -- two discs, 30 songs -- is strictly rock-oriented, encompassing hard rock, new wave, and adult contemporary. It's more focused than the average '80s compilation, but that doesn't necessarily make it exceptional; in fact, it's still pretty interchangeable ... see all copies from $14.88! new only from $14.88!

22 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of 80's Pop (2007) more music like this by Various Artists It's kind of absurd to suggest that the dozen songs collected here represent the best pop fare recorded in the 1980s, and while there are some obvious classics, including Joe Jackson's "Steppin' Out," the Pretenders' feisty "Back on the Chain Gang," and Tears for Fears' unavoidable faux anthem "Shout," the '80s had a good deal more going on than ... see all copies from $16.39! new only from $16.39!
