1	The Complete On the Corner Sessions (2007) more music like this by Miles Davis From the opening four notes of Michael Henderson's hypnotically minimal bass that open the unedited master of "On the Corner," answered a few seconds later by the swirl of color, texture, and above all rhythm, it becomes a immediately apparent that Miles Davis had left the jazz world he helped to invent -- forever. The 19-minute-and-25-second ... see all copies from $112.17! new only from $112.17!
2	The Very Best of Kool & the Gang (1999) more music like this by Kool & the Gang Spanning the band's early-'70s genesis as an unhinged funk congregation and their later resurgence with urbane R&B balladry and synth-inflected disco, The Very Best of Kool & the Gang may not be a unified collection, but it is the first to offer every hit that's expected -- as well as a few that aren't -- from the band's long career. The emphasis ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $9.92!
3	Swing Street (1987) more music like this by Barry Manilow In the liner notes for Swing Street, Barry Manilow refers to his wish to record a "techno-swing album." While that term conjures images of mechanistic swing sets, it must actually refer to Swing Street's largely synthesized instrumentation. From the first few notes of its title track, the album seems like music made for an audience of mannequins. ... see all copies from $2.48! new only from $3.93!
4	Gold (2005) more music like this by Kool & the Gang Believe it or not, Gold is the first compilation with U.S. distribution to provide a fair and rather thorough glance at Kool & the Gang's career from 1969 through 1987. Dozens upon dozens of other sets either focus on one of the group's distinct eras or attempt clumsily to appease those who want "Jungle Boogie" and "Joanna" in one spot. The ... see all copies from $19.52! new only from $19.52!
5	The Complete Collection and Then Some... [2005 Reissue] (2005) more music like this by Barry Manilow The story Barry Manilow, his friends, and associates tell in the liner notes to his four-CD/one-VHS box set retrospective The Complete Collection and Then Some... is about a contemporary pop songwriter who is reluctantly transformed into an interpretive singer; becomes an easy listening, commercial pop superstar much to his surprise (and, to some ... see all copies from $19.79! new only from $41.89!
6	Skeletons (2003) more music like this by Nothingface Saying that the members of Nothingface went through considerable turmoil in 2001 and 2002 would be an understatement. Guitarist Tom Maxwell's mother died, lead singer Matt Holt's house burned down and bassist Bill Gaal went through a divorce--all that was in addition to the departure of drummer Chris Houck (who was replaced by Tommy Sickles), a ... see all copies from $7.90! new only from $14.30!
7	Code Blue (1992) more music like this by Icehouse see all copies from $20.77! new only from $20.97!
8	Female Trouble (1987) more music like this by Nona Hendryx see all copies from $8.00!
9	Sundown (2003) more music like this by S Club 8 see all copies from $5.77! new only from $5.77!
10	Café Society (2003) more music like this by Lorraine Feather While it might not be as ambitious as her previous album, New York City Drag, where Lorraine Feather showed that she had the vocal and artistic chops to handle reinterpreting a number of Fats Waller tunes, Café Society does a nice job of showcasing this longtime vocalist's artistic range. From the hyper-exuberant version of "Jungle Rhythm" ... see all copies from $11.15! new only from $11.15!
11	Bring the Night (2007) more music like this by Kaskade see all copies from $14.75! new only from $15.02!
12	Gold (2006) more music like this by The Gap Band The first two-disc Gap Band compilation, Gold offers more than most casual fans could possibly want, extending beyond the biggest hits -- "Burn Rubber (Why You Wanna Hurt Me)," "Early in the Morning," "You Dropped a Bomb on Me," "Outstanding," "Beep a Freak," "Party Train" -- to include a sizable portion of lower-charting singles, album cuts, and ... see all copies from $19.52! new only from $19.52!
13 view cover	Machine Soul: An Odyssey Into Electronic Dance Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists An effective compilation of electronic pop with a narrow scope and an overly safe track listing but with plenty of highlights, Machine Soul: An Odyssey Into Electronic Dance sets out to cover the goal stated in the title. As such, the two-disc set begins with the logical choice: Kraftwerk. From there, the album moves into disco (the Giorgio ... see all copies from $7.00!
14 view cover	Collection [Polygram International] (2000) more music like this by Kool & the Gang see all copies from $9.96! new only from $9.96!
15 view cover	Paradise (1989) more music like this by Inner City In the 1980s and '90s, a lot of dance music spotlighted female singers with thin, weak voices who seem on the verge of death. But house music has often been a home to expressive, big-voiced divas who can truly wail -- a fine example being Paris Gray of the duo Inner City. Along with producer/composer Kevin Saunderson, Gray was responsible for some ... see all copies from $12.86! new only from $12.86!

17 view cover	Singles Collection (1999) more music like this by Kool & the Gang If you only want Kool & the Gang's hit singles from the tail end of the '70s onward -- and/or already have the '70s hits covered somewhere else -- you could do far worse than Singles Collection, a fairly thorough anthology of the group's mainstream era. "Celebration," "Ladies Night," "Joanna," "Take My Heart (You Can Have It if You Want It)," ... see all copies from $11.10! new only from $16.46!
18 view cover	Another Life (1995) more music like this by Barry Manilow see all copies from $12.00!
19 view cover	Scamboogery (1991) more music like this by Scatterbrain Scatterbrain's debut record, Here Comes Trouble, did an excellent job of showing what this comedy metal troupe had to offer. But the music that they were making had such limited potential that by their second album, there was little new to offer besides more silly joke lyrics over their brand of "fun" metal. Vocalist Paul Neider has a flat voice ... see all copies from $3.99!
20 view cover	Big Fun (1989) more music like this by Inner City In the 1980s and '90s, a lot of dance music spotlighted female singers with thin, weak voices who seem on the verge of death. But house music has often been a home to expressive, big-voiced divas who can truly wail -- a fine example being Paris Gray of the duo Inner City.

22 view cover	As One (1982) more music like this by Kool & the Gang During their eight-year reign as one of the premiere R&B/funk bands, Kool & the Gang featuring James "J.T." Taylor on lead, had one top ten hit after another and quite a few number one hits. This album did not spawn any number one singles, but it did house two festive top ten numbers in "Big Fun" and "Let's Go Dancin' (Ooh La, La, La)." The former ... see all copies from $9.99!

24 view cover	Soul Bop Band Live (2006) more music like this by Bill Evans/Randy Brecker During the summers of 2004 and 2005, saxophonist Bill Evans and trumpeter Randy Brecker co-led the Soul Bop Band on tours. The music that they created was funky, heartfelt, and full of strong jazz solos. With a top-notch and versatile rhythm section comprised of guitarist Hiram Bullock, keyboardist David Kikoski, bassist Victor Bailey, and drummer ... see all copies from $17.80! new only from $17.80!
25 view cover	XXX (1988) more music like this by Miguel Bose Occasionally interesting arrangements, but otherwise some routine urban contemporary, hip-hop, and dance-flavored tracks, and even more routine vocals and production. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.00! new only from $15.00!
