1	Pure 80's (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Although there's nothing particularly out of the ordinary of Pure 80's, it nevertheless is a good, basic collection of 20 new wave hits, highlighted by such classics as "Hungry Like the Wolf," "Our House," "Relax," "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," "Video Killed the Radio Star," "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," and Soft Cell's timeless ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $10.96!
2	Greatest Hits [2000] (2000) more music like this by Stray Cats One of the great unspoken things about the Stray Cats is that they just didn't have that many hits. In America, they had three Top Ten singles -- "Rock This Town," "Stray Cat Strut," "(She's) Sexy + 17" -- plus the ballad "I Won't Stand in Your Way," which just scraped the Top 40. The fact that the Stray Cats were so fondly remembered not only by ... see all copies from $10.26! new only from $10.26!
3	Like, Omigod! The '80s Pop Culture Box (Totally) (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Rock criticism has two schools of thought regarding the '80s. One complains that it was all crass, commercial crap, breathing a sigh of relief that we made it through that dreck (thanks to IRS, SST, jangle pop, college rock, and hardcore punk, of course). The other celebrates the album as "cheesy" fun, full of naïve, silly singles; bad haircuts; ... see all copies from $87.25! new only from $87.25!
4	The Ultimate Collection: Recorded Live (2004) more music like this by Brian Setzer Orchestra Say what you want about Brian Setzer and his cool retro-swing, but the man can not only play the hell out of a guitar, he can lead a big band like a pro, singing and playing sure, but he can write charts too. This set is rather ingenious. It contains two discs chock-full of the tunes that the Brian Setzer Orchestra has become (in)famous for. Disc ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.00!
5	Slam Jams, Vol. 1 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
6	Runaway Boys: A Retrospective '81-'92 (1997) more music like this by The Stray Cats An exemplary best-of, this has 25 tracks from throughout their career, leaning heavily on the earliest and best material. It also contains a few tunes that were previously unreleased in the U.S., the B-side cover of the Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love," and all three non-album songs from their 1983 double 45 "(She's) Sexy + 17." Those that prize ... see all copies from $3.79! new only from $10.14!
7	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 $12.07!
8	Racin' the Devil (2006) more music like this by Lee Rocker The Alligator imprint's most overtly non-blues signing, at least until its American appearance in early 2006 (the same album, entitled The Curse of Rockabilly, had been available in Europe in 2005 on a different label with a rearranged track configuration), is a rollicking roots rock disc. Although he has remained far more under the radar in his ... see all copies from $7.05! new only from $15.24!
9	Built for Speed (1982) more music like this by Stray Cats In 1982, the unexpected success of the Stray Cats' American debut, Built for Speed, made America aware that rockabilly, previously believed to be extinct, was actually alive and well somewhere in New Jersey (though the evidence had to be taken to England before anyone would notice). Pulling together six songs from the Stray Cats' self-titled debut ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $17.06!
10	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!
11 view cover	More Music from Coyote Ugly (2003) more music like this by Original Soundtrack see all copies from $2.98! new only from $7.03!
12 view cover	Red Hot & Live! (2007) more music like this by Brian Setzer & the Nashvillains After breaking up the Stray Cats in 1984, Brian Setzer spent several years seemingly avoiding the rockabilly issue, first cutting a heartland rock album (1986's The Knife Feels Like Justice) and then forming his swing band the Brian Setzer Orchestra. But Setzer seems to have come to terms with the intersection of twang and bop in the 21st century ... see all copies from $10.12! new only from $10.12!
13 view cover	Rock On 1982 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Volume 13 in Madacy's year-by-year overview of the biggest hits of the '70s and '80s is among the few real disappointments in the series -- the number of blockbusters is slim, and one of the inclusions (Missing Persons' "Words") didn't even crack the Top 40. Still, there are a few gems here -- Marshall Crenshaw's power-pop gem "Someday Someway" is ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.60!
14	Oldies But Goodies, Vol. 4 [Reissue] (1990) more music like this by Various Artists If you like your vintage hits from across the spectrum, then the Oldies But Goodies series is for you. This fourth volume sticks to the plan with 17 cuts that range from the Big Bopper's "Chantilly Lace" to Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Proud Mary," and in between, this in-flux mix takes in Jerry Lee Lewis, the Turtles, Sandy Nelson, the ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $8.26!
15 view cover	Woodstock 1999, Vol. 2: Blue Album (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
16 view cover	Greatest Sports Rock and Jams, Vol. 2 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $9.88!
17 view cover	Stray Cats (1981) more music like this by Stray Cats The Stray Cats debut album came hot on the heels of the two hit singles "Runaway Boys" and "Rock This Town," both energy filled rockabilly songs that hearkened back to the 1950s era of pure rock & roll with an updated, clean '80s sound highlighted by the prominent double bass playing of Lee Rocker and drumming of Slim Jim Phantom. The Stray Cats ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $11.94!
18 view cover	Instant Party Disc: Regular Strength (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The idea behind Rhino's Instant Party Disc series is that any compilation bearing the label Instant Party Disc is guaranteed to turn the lamest gathering into a rip-roaring bash. Which is why there's nothing but party favorites here, regardless of style, genre or decade -- "Celebration," "We Are Family," "Tequila," "Rock This Town," "Mickey," ... see all copies from $15.25! new only from $15.25!
19 view cover	Today Presents: The Best of the Summer Concert Series, Vol. 1 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Today Show: Best of the Summer Concert Series delivers just what the title promises: a dozen live Today Show performances from artists like Donna Summer, the Doobie Brothers, Lionel Richie, and the Pretenders. Sheryl Crow's "If It Makes You Happy," Brian Setzer's "Rock This Town," Amy Grant's "Baby Baby," and Earth Wind & Fire's "September" are ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
20 view cover	Stray Cats/Gonna Ball/Rant N' Rave with the Stray Cats (2002) more music like this by Stray Cats This "three-fer" from BMG/Arista collects three of the "Rockabilly Revivalists" biggest and best records, including the trio's 1981 eponymous debut and its immediate follow-up Gonna Ball, as well as 1983's Rant N' Rave with the Stray Cats. Between the three you get "Rock This Town," "Stray Cat Strut," "Rumble in Brighton," "(She's) Sexy + 17," ... see all copies from $41.59! new only from $41.59!
21 view cover	Sounds of the Eighties: Essential 80's (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.94!
22 view cover	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 $2.52! new only from $2.52!
23 view cover	The Brian Setzer Collection '81-'88 (1999) more music like this by Brian Setzer It makes sense that Capitol released The Brian Setzer Collection 1981-1988 in late 1999, since Setzer was riding an unexpected comeback powered by his cover of Louis Prima's "Jump Jive and Wail." Cynics may suggest that the label was simply trying to cash in on his success, but there was a need for a compilation covering these unknown years. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.10!
24 view cover	Rock: Selects, Vol. 1 (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
25 view cover	Woodstock 1999 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The 25th anniversary of Woodstock was such a resounding success, both commercially and critically, that it was inevitable that Woodstock 99 would appear on the 30th anniversary of the legendary free rock festival. Woodstock 99 was a different beast than any of its predecessors, however. The promoters designed it as a mercenary event, trying to ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.39!
