1	The Ultimate Collection (1997) more music like this by The Commodores Widely acknowledged as the top band during their tenure at Motown, the Commodores were one of the bands that kept Berry Gordy's mythical hit machine on top of the commercial R&B game. Especially during a tumultuous period in Motown's history, where artists were changing creative direction (much to Gordy's chagrin) and others were fleeing for other ... see all copies from $9.75! new only from $13.34!
2	Specials [2002 Remaster] (2002) more music like this by The Specials The Specials' self-titled debut sparked the Two-Tone movement in the late '70s. With well-chosen ska classics and Prince Buster-inspired originals, the band mixed political and social activism and blended punk's intensity with an infectious dance beat. The Specials is a landmark recording that, while very much a product of its time, hasn't really ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $14.78!
3	Greatest Hits (2001) more music like this by James "J.T." Taylor Hip-O's 2001 Greatest Hits collection pulls off a nifty trick by balancing J.T. Taylor's solo hits with duet numbers and sides he fronted with Kool & the Gang. So, while this technically isn't a retrospective of his solo career, this is what people looking for the best of Taylor should turn to, since it has his best performances, whether he's ... see all copies from $1.99!
4	The Lace (1986) more music like this by Benjamin Orr The Cars' bassist/vocalist Benjamin Orr lent his immaculate pipes to a few of the band's most enduring FM hits ("Bye Bye Love," "Let's Go," and "Drive"), but he wasn't able to step out from behind the shadow of guitarist/bandleader Ric Ocasek until 1986. The Cars had reached a new level of fame with 1984's Heartbeat City, and that success was ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.91!
5	The Very Best of Kool & the Gang (1999) more music like this by Kool & the Gang Spanning the band's early-'70s genesis as an unhinged funk congregation and their later resurgence with urbane R&B balladry and synth-inflected disco, The Very Best of Kool & the Gang may not be a unified collection, but it is the first to offer every hit that's expected -- as well as a few that aren't -- from the band's long career. The emphasis ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $9.92!
6	The Breakfast Club (1985) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Any fan of John Hughes or '80s teen culture remembers the soundtrack to The Breakfast Club for one reason: Simple Minds' stone classic "Don't You (Forget About Me)." One of the few new wave songs that could seriously be called an anthem, the song made an indelible impression on an entire generation, which is no exaggeration for many Gen-Xers. "Don ... see all copies from $4.43! new only from $8.66!
7	Strangers in the Night [Expanded Edition] (1999) more music like this by UFO Unfortunately, this concert album is often overlooked when discussions of the great live rock albums of the '70s arise. UFO's Strangers in the Night deserves to be right up there with Kiss' Alive! and Thin Lizzy's Live and Dangerous, based on the excitement the group and its audience generates and due to the quality of the hard rock compositions. ... see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
8	Letters from Sinners & Strangers (2007) more music like this by Eilen Jewell There's an off-the-cuff manner to the opening songs of Eilen Jewell's Letters from Sinners & Strangers that makes the album easy to like. She builds "Rich Man's World" around bits and pieces of older folk songs, leaving the listener with the impression that she might have heard the song -- somewhere -- before. She follows with Eric Andersen's ... see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
9	Gangsta's Paradise (1995) more music like this by Coolio Most of Coolio's hit debut It Takes a Thief was fairly upbeat material, but the appearance of the stark single "Gangsta's Paradise" in the summer of 1995 signaled a change in the rapper's music. Driven by an ominously deep bassline and slashing strings, the creeping, threatening funk of "Gangsta's Paradise" was the most chilling thing Coolio had ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.50!
10	Strangers in the Night (1979) more music like this by UFO Unfortunately, this concert album is often overlooked when discussions of the great live rock albums of the '70s arise. UFO's Strangers in the Night deserves to be right up there with Kiss' Alive! and Thin Lizzy's Live and Dangerous, based on the excitement the group and its audience generates and due to the quality of the hard rock compositions. ... see all copies from $14.25! new only from $14.25!
11 view cover	Still in the Game (1998) more music like this by Keith Sweat While most R&B lovermen, except for the very elite few who are able to cross generations, fall apart after a few years of serving up bedroom-ready mood warmers, Keith Sweat is still capable of making decent records a decade into his career. He knows the secret of a good slow-groove album: seduction on the most intimate of levels. And on Still in ... see all copies from $2.35! new only from $11.11!
12 view cover	Word of Mouth (1984) more music like this by The Kinks State of Confusion gave the Kinks their biggest single in nearly 20 years, but they didn't try to replicate the music hall-tinged pop of "Come Dancing" on its follow-up, Word of Mouth, preferring to concentrate on straight-ahead hard rock. Most of the material was well crafted, but only a few songs were distinctive, particularly the circular, ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $8.00!
13 view cover	The Best of Bar-Kays (1993) more music like this by The Bar-Kays When the Bar-Kays joined Mercury Records in 1976, they shifted musical styles slightly, veering away from the goofy yet funky soul instrumentals that defined their Stax singles and concentrating on loose, wild funk driven by fat basslines and whining synthesizers. Mercury's The Best of Bar-Kays captures the majority of the highlights from their ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $13.34!
14 view cover	Guerrilla Warfare (1999) more music like this by Hot Boys Guerrilla Warfare presents Cash Money Records at its finest. The Hot Boys feature Juvenile, B.G., Lil' Wayne, and Turk rhyming over phenomenal bounce beats provided by Mannie Fresh. Following the success of Juvenile's 400 Degreez and B.G.'s Chopper City in the Ghetto, Guerrilla Warfare highlighted a fully realized regional sound, indigenous to New ... see all copies from $7.68! new only from $12.94!
15 view cover	Smokin' Armadillos (1996) more music like this by Smokin' Armadillos The Smokin' Armadillos' debut is pumped-up country music with a heavy lean toward power rock influences. This sextet from Bakersfield -- ranging in age from 19-26 -- plays with an unbridled enthusiasm that serves the material well. Nine of the 12 tracks were written by the band, and most of them are driven by the burning championship fiddle ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.17!
16 view cover	Gold (2006) more music like this by Lionel Richie/Commodores It's inarguable that Lionel Richie's presence in the Commodores was the lifeblood of their creative and commercial success during their prime years. Not only the group's unofficial captain, he was also one of the most successful producers and songwriters for Motown during their second golden age. The proof is certainly more than one disc would ... see all copies from $11.83! new only from $12.68!
17 view cover	Gold (2005) more music like this by Kool & the Gang Believe it or not, Gold is the first compilation with U.S. distribution to provide a fair and rather thorough glance at Kool & the Gang's career from 1969 through 1987. Dozens upon dozens of other sets either focus on one of the group's distinct eras or attempt clumsily to appease those who want "Jungle Boogie" and "Joanna" in one spot. The ... see all copies from $17.79! new only from $17.79!
18 view cover	Lights Out (1977) more music like this by UFO Despite a few generic moments, Lights Out is probably the best studio document of what elevated UFO above the '70s hard rock fray. Within a Euro-blues framework, the classic lineup that lasted from Phenomenon through Strangers in the Night incorporated challenging dynamics, epic balladry, and a more than occasional sensitivity. On Lights Out, all ... see all copies from $8.00!
19 view cover	The Very Best of the Commodores [Motown] (1995) more music like this by The Commodores For a spell during the '80s, it seemed like many forgot that Lionel Richie wasn't always a solo artist, but began as a member of the Commodores. The group of six Alabama college chums would go on to become one of the world's leading funk and R&B artists of the '70s, and their penchant for heartwarming ballads only broadened their fan base. With ... see all copies from $12.95! new only from $14.11!
20 view cover	Showtime (2005) more music like this by UFO Most UFO fans consider the only real lineup to be when guitarist Michael Schenker decides to grace the band with his presence. And truth be told, this is a valid point -- the group's best work seems to occur whenever the unpredictable guitarist is present, whether it was in the '70s (1977's Lights Out, 1979's exceptional Strangers in the Night) or ... see all copies from $18.16! new only from $18.16!
21 view cover	Female Trouble (1987) more music like this by Nona Hendryx see all copies from $8.00!
22 view cover	Unbreakable (2004) more music like this by Scorpions The Scorpions' latest studio outing comes on the heels of their triple-disc career retrospective, Box of Scorpions. For fans who view that box set's third disc -- mostly material from the mid- to late '90s -- as a meandering collection of wince-inducing ballads and orchestral experiments gone awry, their latest offering should come as a huge ... see all copies from $8.72! new only from $8.72!
23 view cover	A Good Life (2006) more music like this by Joe Grushecky Joe Grushecky writes like a regular guy for a good reason -- he is one. While Grushecky has had a long career in rock & roll, including a brief flirtation with the major labels as frontman for the Iron City Houserockers, these days he earns his living as a schoolteacher and makes music on the side, which is doubtless why when he writes about the ... see all copies from $9.39! new only from $13.70!
24 view cover	Gold: Old School Jams (2007) more music like this by Various Artists The terrain sampled here has been trod upon hundreds of times. However, since this double-disc set is part of Hip-O/Universal's Gold series, it shouldn't be disregarded on first sight. While anyone with a basic collection of funk, post-disco, or any other forms of club-oriented R&B spanning the '70s through the first half of the '80s will likely ... see all copies from $17.79! new only from $17.79!
25 view cover	Funky Stuff: The Best of Funk Essentials (1993) more music like this by Various Artists For those looking to find a crash course in "the funk" -- a quick introduction to the fusion of R&B, soul, jazz, blues, good old rock & roll, and all-out outrageousness that creates the ultimate good groove -- you can't do much better than the Funk Essentials compilations. Funky Stuff: The Best of Funk Essentials is the perfect portrait. With its ... see all copies from $5.75! new only from $5.84!
