1	Countdown to Ecstasy (1973) more music like this by Steely Dan Can't Buy a Thrill became an unexpected hit, and as a response, Donald Fagen became the group's full-time lead vocalist, and he and Walter Becker acted like Steely Dan was a rock & roll band for the group's second album, Countdown to Ecstasy. The loud guitars and pronounced backbeat of "Bodhisattva," "Show Biz Kids," and "My Old School" camouflage ... see all copies from $7.83! new only from $7.83!
2	Gold (1982) more music like this by Steely Dan Donald Fagen and Walter Becker wrote many outstanding light-rock tunes with a somewhat soulful appeal. This compilation album plays host to quite a few of those songs, among them "Hey Nineteen," "Deacon Blues," and Black Cow." The twosome have an uncanny style of conveying their messages in a very overt way without forfeiting the songs' charisma. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.99!
3	Super 8 (1996) more music like this by Super 8 Known for his work with Everlast and others who have been associated with Ice-T's Rhyme Syndicate operation, Bob Khaleel, aka Bronx Style Bob, is generally considered a West Coast hip-hopper. But in fact, some of his work has been outside of hip-hop altogether. You won't hear a trace of hip-hop influence on this debut album by Super 8, an L.A. ... see all copies from $1.99!
4	Summer in the City: Live in New York (2000) more music like this by Joe Jackson The chameleonic Jackson is reunited with longtime bandmates Graham Maby (bass and vocals) and Gary Burke (drums) for this trio date, recorded live in August 1999. The opening "Summer in the City" promises much, and the album delivers. While the three don't always play to a song's strengths ("You Can't Get What You Want," for one, misses the full ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.77!
5	Angelfish (1994) more music like this by Angelfish Future Garbage-woman Shirley Manson fronted this Scottish quartet, and Angelfish is their self-titled debut produced by Talking Heads rhythm section Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth. Imagine a garage version of Garbage's studio-honed perfection. Manson sounds a bit like Siouxsie Sioux on "Dogs in a Cage" and "Suffocate Me." On "Heartbreak to Hate," ... see all copies from $5.44! new only from $8.34!
6	Strong Enough (1995) more music like this by BlackHawk After their debut album became a platinum success, Blackhawk decided to follow the same formula for their follow-up, Strong Enough. Not merely a reproduction of their self-titled debut, Strong Enough finds the group consolidating their strengths as songwriters and performers. Throughout the album, the group turns in first-rate songs and tight ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.14!
7	Falling in Between [Bonus Track] (2006) more music like this by Toto At this point in their career, Steve Lukather and Toto really have nothing to prove to anyone in the rock & roll community. They've accumulated more Top Ten hits with their ballads alone than most bands have in their entire career, to say nothing of rock anthems that became cornerstones of arena rock during the '70s and '80s. And while it's been ... see all copies from $6.69! new only from $9.48!
8	Whichever Train Comes (1993) more music like this by Spelvins see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.14!
9	Ice: Chapter 3 (1992) more music like this by Celestial Navigations see all copies from $14.11! new only from $14.11!
10	Songs for a New World (1997) more music like this by Original Cast Recording see all copies from $9.36! new only from $9.36!
11 view cover	Hooker [Box Set] (2006) more music like this by John Lee Hooker John Lee Hooker was an active recording artist for roughly 50 years -- active in that not only did he record steadily, but he actively jumped from label to label, recording for seemingly every label, big or small, from such legendary imprints as Modern, Savoy, Chess, Vee-Jay, Impulse and Riverside, to such smaller outfits as Eagle, Sensation, ... see all copies from $52.92! new only from $52.92!
12 view cover	At the Corner of Broadway + Soul (2005) more music like this by Billy Porter Billy Porter has a theatrical approach to singing, so it makes sense that he'd cut a live album called At the Corner of Broadway + Soul. He relies on originals written by himself working in conjunction with other writers as well as Broadway material from Stephen Sondheim and others. Porter's extroverted style imbues songs like "King of the World" ... see all copies from $15.99! new only from $15.99!
13 view cover	Joyland (1993) more music like this by Liberty Horses Fronted by the sibling pairing of Neil MacColl and Calum MacColl, sons of writer Ewan MacColl, Joyland is a remarkably listenable album of intelligent, well-written folk-tinged pop that holds up from first cut to last. Sister Kirsty MaColl lends a hand providing backing vocals on the delightful "Shine," which conjures memories of an earthier ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $20.98!
14 view cover	Mile Markers (2005) more music like this by Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash While the Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash still haven't summoned up the swagger or the attitude to live up to their name, their third album, Mile Markers, does find them finally living up to the promise of their first two albums, which made this band sound like it had plenty of talent but not much to say. Lead Bastard Mark Stuart (who apparently is ... see all copies from $16.37! new only from $16.37!
15 view cover	King of the World (2006) more music like this by Sheila/B. Devotion see all copies from $13.94! new only from $13.94!
16 view cover	Complete Blue Horizon Sessions (2006) more music like this by Chicken Shack Formed and led by guitarist/vocalist Stan Webb, Chicken Shack were one of the first bands to be signed to the Blue Horizon label in the mid-'60s. As of this compilation's release in 2006, Webb was still fronting a version of the group. While never attaining any success in the States, Chicken Shack were well known in the U.K., with fleeting success ... see all copies from $16.37! new only from $16.37!
17 view cover	Birmingham Road (1998) more music like this by Jeff Black Jeff Black is a sincere singer/songwriter who puts a lot of feeling and emotion into his work, and the results are some of the best music released in the late 90's. Working with the band Wilco minus Jeff Tweedy, Black etches out fine portraits of American life without the sappiness or self-consciousness often attributed to the singer/songwriter ... see all copies from $2.00! new only from $15.99!
18 view cover	Katydids (1989) more music like this by The Katydids The Katydids are another recent English development, and manage, without trying too hard, to be a mixture of a '60s songbird band, heavy on the not-quite-finished pop-type numbers about love and life, and the Pretenders. The latter is suggested initially by the fact that vocalist Susie Hug is an expatriate American. The Katydids lean less on the ... see all copies from $1.99!
19 view cover	King of My World (2004) more music like this by Sam Bush King of My World is only Sam Bush's fifth solo album in the last 19 years, but it's also his fourth in the last eight years, reflecting his movement from leadership of New Grass Revival, which packed it in 1989, to a solo career. Still, making solo albums is not a primary activity for this in-demand session musician, so it's always nice when he ... see all copies from $15.40! new only from $15.40!
20 view cover	Let's Have a Pancake (2000) more music like this by The Chandler Travis Philharmonic Reestablishing their role as one of New England's most diversely talented and underrated harmonic entities, CTP delivers yet again with a coherently varied collection of musical madness. From the self-censored opener (and uncensored closer) "That's What She Said" and the lazily fanfared reunion of "This Is Home" to the encouraging vaudevillian ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.38!
21 view cover	You Are Here (2000) more music like this by Cary Pierce see all copies from $1.99!
22 view cover	God Save the Smithereens [Deluxe Edition] (2005) more music like this by The Smithereens After two decades, the Smithereens were no longer in step with the times and they no longer cared -- they do what they do because they love it, not because it's fashionable. They were at that point with 1994's A Date With the Smithereens, but that record was hurt by a weird undercurrent of bitterness and Pat DiNizio's songwriting slump. Wisely, ... see all copies from $9.89! new only from $14.96!
23 view cover	Off Broadway (2000) more music like this by Jerry Orbach 26-year-old Jerry Orbach had recently made the leap from off-Broadway to Broadway stardom when he recorded his first (and, as it turned out, his only) solo album in three days in July 1962. But he was intent on looking back at the earlier stage of his career and illuminating a somewhat forgotten part of musical theater by filling the album with ... see all copies from $25.15!
24 view cover	Vinny Catalano Story, Vol. 2 (2005) more music like this by Vinny Catalano see all copies from $7.65! new only from $16.18!
25 view cover	Smile Blue (1991) more music like this by Ricky Peterson When a busy session player records an album of his own, you never know what to expect. Will it be a cold, mechanical, strictly-for-the-money release? Or will creativity prevail? In the case of Ricky Peterson's Smile Blue, creativity usually prevails. Having backed everyone from David Sanborn to Prince, Paula Abdul and the Jets, the keyboardist ... see all copies from $26.21!
