1	Complete Greatest Hits (2002) more music like this by The Cars When the Cars released their first greatest-hits album in 1985, it was capping a golden run that culminated in 1984's Heartbeat City, their biggest hit yet. They lasted one more album, 1987's abysmal Door to Door. So, technically, there isn't that much new territory covered by Complete Greatest Hits, especially since there's only one song -- the ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
2	The Cars (1978) more music like this by The Cars The Cars' 1978 self-titled debut, issued on the Elektra label, is a genuine rock masterpiece. The band jokingly referred to the album as their "true greatest-hits album," but it's no exaggeration -- all nine tracks are new wave/rock classics, still in rotation on rock radio. Whereas most bands of the late '70s embraced either punk/new wave or hard ... see all copies from $3.32! new only from $3.32!
3	Classic Rock Gold (2005) more music like this by Various Artists With an oversaturation of budget-line compilations and titles purporting to be the "definitive" or "ultimate" collection of classic rock available, it's easy to approach Classic Rock Gold with a heavy hand of skepticism. However, one look at the track listing should wipe that notion right away, as this two-disc set is packed with some of the ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $19.52!
4	Poison'd! (2007) more music like this by Poison Not quite a new album and not quite a comp, Poison'd! is a collection of covers from Poison, many recorded in 2006 and 2007 with producer Don Was, but also some pulled from previous albums dating as far back as Look What the Cat Dragged In and Open Up and Say...Ahh!. To the band's credit, it doesn't always sound like the music was recorded 20 ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
5	Shake It Up and Other Hits (2003) more music like this by The Cars see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
6	It's Alive! (2006) more music like this by The New Cars It's easy to be skeptical of reunions of classic rock bands, especially when they're lacking such crucial members as the group's two lead singers and songwriters. There have been plenty of embarrassing reunions of this nature -- ranging from Creedence Clearwater Revisited to the David Byrne-less Heads -- so the initial prospect of the Cars getting ... see all copies from $2.89! new only from $8.45!
7	Sky High [Original Soundtrack] (2005) more music like this by Original Soundtrack see all copies from $2.95! new only from $10.96!
8	Just What I Needed: The Cars Anthology (1995) more music like this by The Cars While casual admirers of the Cars can stick with their 1985 Greatest Hits collection, more serious fans should go right to the more thorough two-CD set Just What I Needed: The Cars Anthology. Whereas Greatest Hits stuck more or less with their singles, The Cars Anthology contains strong album cuts, non-album B-sides, demos, and unreleased takes, ... see all copies from $12.75! new only from $26.39!
9	Lift (2004) more music like this by Sister Hazel Sister Hazel probably deserved more from AAA radio than the cup of coffee they got with 1997's "All for You". The Florida combo writes strong hooks, and cultivates the same easily accessible sound that brought silver platters of success to dudes like Rob Thomas and notorious actress dater Adam Duritz. That said, Sister Hazel might lean a little ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $13.95!
10	Replicants (1996) more music like this by Replicants The name may come from Blade Runner, but the intent and range of subject matter isn't simply 1982. Part wink-and-nudge celebration, and part straight-up tribute, the collection of cover songs on the Replicants' one album is a workman's holiday that doesn't always provide much in the way of dramatic reinterpretation. It is, however, darn good fun ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.00!
11 view cover	Millennium: 80's New Wave Party (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Millennium: '80s New Wave Party, the final installment in Rhino's five-disc series Millennium Party, basically recycles 20 hits available in the label's extensive new wave series Just Can't Get Enough, but it does so in style. Like other volumes in the series, New Wave Party contains nothing but genre classics, the songs everybody knows. In this ... see all copies from $15.17! new only from $15.17!
12 view cover	The Very Best of the Cars (2006) more music like this by The Cars Although it has different artwork, this 20-track set of the Cars' biggest hits is exactly the same, right down to the same running order, as Rhino's Complete Greatest Hits package from 2002, which means it has everything the casual fan might want, including the perfect radio singles "Just What I Needed," "My Best Friend's Girl," "You're All I've ... see all copies from $5.28! new only from $5.28!
13 view cover	Greetings from the East Coast (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
14 view cover	The Cars [Deluxe Edition] (1999) more music like this by The Cars Back in 1996, Rhino Records had plans for a Cars rarities disc entitled Prototypes, which was to include their entire first album in demo form, as well as other rarities from all eras of the band. And even though Ice magazine ran a story on it and a track listing was set, the album never saw the light of day for reasons unknown. Three years later, ... see all copies from $16.90! new only from $16.90!
15 view cover	200 Cigarettes (1999) more music like this by Original Soundtrack 200 Cigarettes bombed in theatres, but the soundtrack album, strong enough to stand on its own, deserves a better fate. It's chock full of music that loosely ties in with the New Year's Eve 1979 party (duration: 200 cigarettes) that is the basis of the movie starring Courtney Love, Christina Ricci, Martha Plimpton and more. The Blondie medley is ... see all copies from $5.99!
16 view cover	Fight of My Life (1998) more music like this by Insyderz One of the most respected groups in the ever-growing contemporary Christian music market, the Insyderz top their previous releases with Fight of My Life, a record that combines ska into a polished mixture of rock, punk, hip hop and reggae. Developmentally, their third release marks an increased level of musical maturity. In the midst of jaunty pop ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.99!
17 view cover	Rock This (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Like Down South, Rock This is part of Razor & Tie's line of classic rock compilations featuring a busty model on the front cover and a satisfying collection of classic rock favorites on the back cover. There is nothing here that isn't still played daily on AOR and classic rock stations -- well, REO Speedwagon's "Ridin' the Storm Out" and Boston's ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $5.75!
18 view cover	Five Dollar Dress (2006) more music like this by Heather Greene see all copies from $2.99! new only from $2.99!
19 view cover	Ultimate New Wave Party 1998 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Ultimate Dance Party 1998 is an entertaining, continuous-mix party album that features such new wave classics as the Romantics' "What I Like About You," Billy Idol's "Dancing With Myself," Modern English's "I Melt With You," Soft Cell's "Tainted Love," Blondie's "Heart of Glass," the Cars' "Just What I Needed," David Bowie's "Let's Dance," ABC's ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.66!
20 view cover	Everything in Between (2005) more music like this by The Numb Ones Their label characterizes the Numb Ones' music as "dark melodic, glam, mod-punk." As for the bandmembers themselves, they call it "modern chant-core" (as opposed to old-school chant-core?). What this means is that it's rock & roll with hooks rather than without, and with "attitude," whatever that means these days. What matters, as usual, is the ... see all copies from $10.03! new only from $10.03!
21 view cover	All 70s and 80s Mega Hits (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $14.88! new only from $14.88!
22 view cover	Ultimate 16: The Very Best of Classic Rock (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.35! new only from $2.35!
23 view cover	Legends: We Will Rock You (2006) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99!
24 view cover	Ultimate Rock 'N' Roll Collection [EMI] (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Don't even start complaining about what isn't on The Ultimate Rock 'N' Roll Collection, because it doesn't try to actually be an ultimate collection, so it shouldn't be treated as one. Instead, the double-disc set rounds up 27 hard-rock classics of album-rock's heyday. Most of the tracks here date from the '70s, but there are a few '80s hits ... see all copies from $23.44! new only from $23.72!
25 view cover	The Essentials (2005) more music like this by The Cars A listen to any of the Cars' hits collections is enough to remind you that they were one excellent band, maybe the best pop/rock/new wave group of the '80s. Warner Music Canada's The Essentials nearly lives up to its title. The 12 tracks included are definitely essential, with hits like "Magic," "Drive," "You Might Think," "Tonight She Comes," ... see all copies from $9.83! new only from $9.83!
