1	X&Y (2005) more music like this by Coldplay After Radiohead stubbornly refused to accept the mantle of "world's biggest and most important rock band" by releasing the willfully strange rocktronica fusion Kid A in 2000, Coldplay stepped up to the plate with their debut, Parachutes. Tasteful, earnest, introspective, anthemic, and grounded in guitars, the British quartet was everything ... see all copies from $7.74! new only from $8.74!
2	Grammy Nominees 2006 (2006) more music like this by Various Artists To state the obvious, these kinds of Grammy-related compilations are always a mishmash, and generally not the good kind. Any compilation that aims to span the popular music landscape with all of its many niches is destined to be disjointed. For instance, when Stevie Wonder, Neil Young, Paul McCartney, and Bruce Springsteen share the same digital ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.94!
3	I Am the Cosmos (1992) more music like this by Chris Bell Unreleased for over 15 years, I Am the Cosmos is nevertheless an enduring testament to the brilliance of Chris Bell; lyrically poignant and melodically stunning, this lone solo album is proof positive of his underappreciated pop mastery. While cuts like "Get Away," "I Got Kinda Lost," and "Fight at the Table" recall the glowing, energetic power ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $10.70!
4	The Hottest State (2007) more music like this by Original Soundtrack In the liner notes to the Hottest State soundtrack, director Ethan Hawke relates a moment in the studio with Norah Jones and Jesse Harris, the latter of whom wrote each of the 18 songs on the album: most artists, Jones told Harris, need to be dead to have so many covers of their songs on one album. It's so true. The story of how co-executive ... see all copies from $3.80! new only from $4.01!
5	True as Steel (1986) more music like this by Warlock see all copies from $8.00! new only from $9.67!
6	Now, Vol. 19 (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Following the release of the preceding volume by four months, the 19th volume of the Now series runs through singles that were popular throughout the spring and early summer of 2005. A quick glance at the volume released the same time in 2004 shows how some of the biggest hits of 2005 were often more daring, whether full of open spaces (John ... see all copies from $4.59! new only from $4.59!
7	Kidz Bop, Vol. 9 (2006) more music like this by Kidz Bop Kids The Kidz Bop juggernaut keeps on keeping on with Kidz Bop, Vol. 9, another collection of kid-friendly reinterpretations of of-the-moment songs. This volume continues the eclectic trend set by Kidz Bop covers of alternative rock hits like Modest Mouse's "Float On" and Franz Ferdinand's "Take Me Out" on previous albums with versions of Weezer's ... see all copies from $3.15! new only from $16.67!
8	A Fire Is Meant for Burning more music like this by Vlor Though Vlor's first two EP releases in the '90s were of a core duo, by the time of the band's formal debut nearly a decade later, Vlor was one of the members -- Remora's Brian John Mitchell -- plus a slew of collaborators, each adding something to original pieces created by Mitchell and sent to them for completion. A Fire Is Meant for Burning is ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $10.70!
9	LateNightTales (2005) more music like this by The Flaming Lips The Flaming Lips' contribution to the Late Night Tales series -- which also includes volumes curated by Four Tet, Jamiroquai, and Nightmares on Wax -- shows off the band's wide-ranging but almost always impeccable taste in music. Admirably, the collection doesn't include much that sounds like the Flaming Lips themselves. Even the band's own ... see all copies from $16.48! new only from $16.48!
10	Party Tyme Karaoke: Super Hits, Vol. 8 (2006) more music like this by Karaoke Each volume in Party Tyme Karaoke's Super Hits series features cover versions of 16 popular songs. The renditions of the songs are functional but, as with all other karaoke discs, they hardly substitute for the originals. The vocals tend to be somewhat buried in the mix, just loud enough to guide you without overpowering your voice. Party Tyme ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!
11 view cover	X&Y [Bonus DVD] (2006) more music like this by Coldplay see all copies from $10.95!
12 view cover	Cup Runneth Over (1998) more music like this by Gloritone On their debut album Cup Runneth Over, the Arizona trio Gloritone exhibits a knack for capturing the sound of early-'90s alternative -- namely, melodic hard rock and ballads in the vein of Nirvana, filtered through such '80s staples as the Replacements and Husker Du. As a result, they end up sounding like the Foo Fighters' cousin, which isn't ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
13 view cover	Cadet (2001) more music like this by Cadet Cadet is a band that packs a lot of punch. This Eugene, OR, trio plays infectious, power pop/rock that is musically and lyrically satisfying. Many of the band's sounds teeter between Switchfoot and the Offspring, while other moments have a feel entirely their own. Cuts like "Speed of Sound" and "Talent Show" are power-chord pleasers. Bassist Jason ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.99!
14 view cover	Mineral (2006) more music like this by Jesse Harris Like Norah Jones, who recorded his "Don't Know Why," Jesse Harris is sometimes classified as jazz. In his case, he is actually a modern-day folksinger whose music crosses over into pop and is only jazzy in spots despite the participation of Larry Goldings (mostly on organ) during Mineral. The music on Mineral is introverted, pensive, and quiet ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.25!
15	Electric Cinema (1992) by Robin Crow Guitarist Robin Crow gained acclaim with five albums issued on independent labels and relentless touring on the college concert circuit. Rendezvous Entertainment/RCA rewarded him with a major-label contract, and 1992's remarkable instrumental album Electric Cinema was the result. Crow's music, which he himself has described as " Pink Floyd goes ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.95!

19 view cover	Open Mind (2000) more music like this by Glen Matlock & the Philistines Of course, Sid Vicious will always be the bassist who is synonymous with the Sex Pistols, thanks entirely to his non-musical exploits. But the gentleman whom he replaced, Glen Matlock, was a different story entirely -- he was supposedly a main songwriting force in the band. Over the years, he's appeared as a "hired gun" for others (Iggy Pop, ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $5.85!
20 view cover	World's Greatest Tribute to Coldplay (2006) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $9.32! new only from $9.32!
21 view cover	Karaoke: Male Rock, Vol. 1 (2005) more music like this by Karaoke Karaoke: Male Rock, Vol.1 includes instrumental remakes of adult alternative and Top 40 pop hits like "Reason" by Hoobastank or Jesse McCartney's "Beautiful Soul." It's a pretty superficial sample -- the presence of all four Maroon 5 singles and two tracks from Goo Goo Dolls proves that. But everything included did at the very least have a brief ... see all copies from $2.94! new only from $2.94!
22 view cover	Karaoke: Smoothe, Vol. 1 (2005) more music like this by Karaoke This karaoke disc doesn't really explain why it's subtitled "smoothe," or why that word is spelled wrong. But it does feature instrumental remakes of popular hits from Maroon 5 ("She Will Be Loved"), Coldplay ("Speed of Sound"), Enrique Iglesias ("Hero"), and Sting ("Fields of Gold.") In addition to its 16-song selections, Karaoke: Smoothe, Vol. 1 ... see all copies from $6.80! new only from $7.51!
23 view cover	Tuner Maxx: Full Throttle Bass (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.75!
24 view cover	Karaoke: Top Hits, Vol. 1 [Singing MacHine] (2005) more music like this by Karaoke The play list for Karaoke: Top Hits, Vol. 1 is strictly adult alternative, kicking off with both "Breakaway" and "Behind These Hazel Eyes" from Kelly Clarkson before rolling through selections from Maroon 5 ("This Love"), Hoobastank ("Reason"), Avril Lavigne ("My Happy Ending"), and, inexplicably, the Game and 50 Cent ("Hate It or Love It"). ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $7.00!
