1	The Modern Lovers [Castle] (2007) more music like this by The Modern Lovers Compiled of demos the band recorded with John Cale in 1973, The Modern Lovers is one of the great proto-punk albums of all time, capturing an angst-ridden adolescent geekiness which is married to a stripped-down, minimalistic rock & roll derived from the art punk of the Velvet Underground. While the sound is in debt to the primal three-chord ... see all copies from $12.83! new only from $12.83!
2	No Thanks! The '70s Punk Rebellion (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Like all the great rock revolutions, punk was fueled by singles. Sure, there were a lot of tremendous albums, but all the artists that cut great LPs also had great 7"s -- and in the case of Television and Patti Smith, they had independent singles released prior to their first albums that never appeared on their debuts. Since rock criticism tends ... see all copies from $29.99! new only from $56.48!
3	LateNightTales (2007) more music like this by Fatboy Slim Sampladelic novelty hits and big-beat productions tossed aside, Norman Cook has been an inveterate DJ, crate-digger, and music lover since the early '80s -- long before he picked up a bass to join the Housemartins or first began joyfully plundering the music of the past for chart action in the present. His volume in the LateNightTales series may ... see all copies from $9.87! new only from $11.84!
4	The Modern Lovers (1976) more music like this by The Modern Lovers Compiled of demos the band recorded with John Cale in 1973, The Modern Lovers is one of the great proto-punk albums of all time, capturing an angst-ridden adolescent geekiness which is married to a stripped-down, minimalistic rock & roll derived from the art punk of the Velvet Underground. While the sound is in debt to the primal three-chord ... see all copies from $7.45! new only from $10.52!
5	The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle [Remastered] (1993) more music like this by The Sex Pistols A wildly inconsistent but often entertaining collection, the soundtrack to the Sex Pistols' pseudo-documentary contains great music, whacked-out novelties, and flat-out tripe in approximately equal proportions. Some formative recordings are included -- mostly covers like "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone," plus a demo of "Anarchy in the U.K." that ... see all copies from $8.36! new only from $8.36!
6	The Best of Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers: The Beserkley Years (1987) more music like this by Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers After the first Modern Lovers album, Jonathan Richman's records were enjoyable but fairly spotty. Thankfully, The Beserkley Years collects the best moments from his '70s records, when his cutesiness was endearing, not irritating. With "Roadrunner," "Pablo Picasso," "Here Come the Martian Martians," "Important in Your Life," "Ice Cream Man," and ... see all copies from $14.99!
7	Live at the Long Branch & More (1998) more music like this by Modern Lovers While the proto-punk genius of the Modern Lovers' first records is well known, not so publicized is their short-lived tenure as a live band. The live treatment has mixed results on the Modern Lovers' repertoire; Jonathan Richman has two types of songs: the fast-and-furious rockers ("She Cracked"), which benefit greatly from the live setting, and ... see all copies from $10.86! new only from $10.86!
8	The History of Rock (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $30.87! new only from $30.87!
9	Beserkley's Best (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Mainly a revised version of the Chartbusters collection, Beserkley's Best does a good job of summing up the legendary label's high points with tracks from better known acts like Jonathan Richman and Greg Kihn along with the sorely underated Rubinoos, Earthquake, and the Spitballs (the Beserkley "supergroup"). Chris Woodstra, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.78!
10	Glorious & Idiotic (2000) more music like this by The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy Glorious & Idiotic, a decent recording-quality live show captured for posterity in Hamburg, Germany, is less a triumphant return than a particularly inspired, quiet continuation. The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy, with songwriter Pat Fish (aka the Jazz Butcher himself) ever at the conspiracy's center, has been making sophisticated acoustic-punk-pop-jazz ... see all copies from $14.93! new only from $14.93!

13 view cover	Chaos (1996) more music like this by The Sex Pistols Is there anyone who's...kept track of the numerous post-1980 compilations of Sex Pistols rarities? Such a person is the only one qualified to determine just which of these tracks (if any) were not previously released on one or more of those (mostly shoddy) productions. This 10-track disc, unfortunately, is no exception to the rule...of having ... see all copies from $2.78!
14 view cover	Pirates of Destiny (1989) more music like this by The Sex Pistols An audio documentary of sorts, this compilation of odds and ends includes rehearsals, demo recordings, live tracks and interview excerpts with the Sex Pistols' lead singer Johnny Rotten and their manager, Malcolm McLaren, as well as such oddities as the soundtrack of an Australian TV ad and the condemnatory comments of a government official who ... see all copies from $7.35! new only from $7.35!

16	With the Naked Eye (1979) more music like this by Greg Kihn Band The awaited Springsteen cover finally pops up on this record, as does a cover of labelmate Jonathan Richman's "Roadrunner." The former allows some of the Kihn magic to shine through but the latter is just a straight read with none of the fun of the original. In between are some pleasant songs but nothing really memorable. Jim Worbois, All Music ... see all copies from $4.99!
17 view cover	Punk Power: Anarchy in the UK (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Castle's Punk Power: Anarchy in the UK collection boasts 32 tracks from the genre's late-'70s/early-'80s heydays. There's some excellent stuff here, particularly the inclusion of cuts from underrated acts like the Toy Dolls ("Nellie the Elephant"), the Adverts ("Bored Teenagers"), and Jilted John, but it's obvious that Castle couldn't obtain the ... see all copies from $13.48! new only from $13.48!

19 view cover	Sounds of the Seventies: Punk and New Wave more music like this by Various Artists Time-Life's Sounds of the Seventies: Punk and New Wave is a 21-track trip through the underbelly of the decade, focusing on songs that the average radio listener would have never heard and the average record buyer never bought. Serving up a mix of punk from the Sex Pistols and the Ramones, angry new wave from Elvis Costello, easygoing pub pop from ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $9.00!

21 view cover	The Best of Jonathan Richman: I Must Be King (2000) more music like this by Jonathan Richman Cooking Vinyl's Best of Jonathan Richman: I Must Be King collects eighteen tracks from the beloved, nasally challenged proto-punk/singer/songwriter from New England, relying mostly on his work with the Modern Lovers. Most of the classics are here, including "Roadrunner," "Pablo Picasso," &"Action Packed" and "Fender Stratocaster," but it's far ... see all copies from $16.31! new only from $16.31!

23 view cover	Chartbusters, Vol. 1 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists The Chartbusters, Volume I compilation spotlights the artists of Beserkley, an early independent label. The standout cuts belong to Jonathan Richman, who contributes stripped-down versions of "Road Runner" and "Government Center" (both recorded earlier with the original Modern Lovers) along with "The New Teller" and a cover of the Showmen's 1961 ... see all copies from $18.00!
24	Hamburg (1985) more music like this by The Jazz Butcher and His Sikkorskis from Hell This live album, recorded (appropriately enough) in Hamburg, Germany in August 1985, features the post-David J. Butcher lineup of Pat Fish, Max Eider, Owen Jones, and Felix Ray. Given the Butcher's fondnes s for songs about alcohol, you might expect a drunken chaos; instead, Hamburg is an agreeably loose but thoroughly professional affair. Fish ... see all copies from $30.79!
