1	Add It Up (1981-1993) (1993) more music like this by Violent Femmes add to wishlist Add It Up is not quite the definitive Violent Femmes compilation one might hope for, even if it does feature 23 tracks and adds essential later items missing from their first comp, Debacle: The First Decade. There are several charming rarities to hook dedicated fans, who will likely find several favorites missing (perhaps another song or two could ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £7.76!
2	Hallowed Ground (1984) more music like this by Violent Femmes add to wishlist After the surprise success of their landmark debut, Violent Femmes could have just released another collection of teen-rage punk songs disguised as folk, and coasted into the modern rock spotlight alongside contemporaries like the Modern Lovers and Talking Heads. Instead they made Hallowed Ground, a hellfire-and-brimstone-beaten exorcism that both ... see all copies from £4.34! new only from £5.92!
3	Blind Leading the Naked (1986) more music like this by Violent Femmes add to wishlist A more mainstream effort courtesy of producer Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads). Gordon Gano returns to his troubled teen persona and the Violent Femmes rock harder than on their previous two releases. A nice cover of the T. Rex classic "Children of the Revolution" and the yearning "I Held Her in My Arms," complete with a horn section, are highlights ... see all copies from £4.24! new only from £4.73!
4	Violent Femmes (1983) more music like this by Violent Femmes add to wishlist One of the most distinctive records of the early alternative movement and an enduring cult classic, Violent Femmes weds the geeky, child-man persona of Jonathan Richman and the tense, jittery, hyperactive feel of new wave in an unlikely context: raw, amateurish acoustic folk-rock. The music also owes something to the Modern Lovers' minimalism, but ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £5.91!
5	Rock!!!!! (1998) more music like this by Violent Femmes add to wishlist see all copies from £3.11! new only from £3.45!
6	Viva Wisconsin (1999) more music like this by Violent Femmes add to wishlist Few bands have captured the angst, sexual frustration, and repressed rage of the '80s and '90s better than the Violent Femmes. Without falling prey to death, breakups, and commercial overexposure, the Femmes have maintained their simmering intensity with an ever-growing loyal fan base of former punks, Generation Xers, and their younger brothers ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £12.77!
7	Permanent Record: The Very Best of Violent Femmes (2005) more music like this by Violent Femmes add to wishlist When Slash/Reprise released Add It Up (1981-1993) in September of 1993, it was a bit of a slap in the face for die-hard Violent Femmes fans. Though the 23 tracks of "hits," rarities, and live cuts were more than appreciated, the group's supporters were once again forced to try explaining to the unconverted what the fuss was all about. Ever since ... see all copies from £7.18! new only from £7.18!
8	Never Mind the Main Stream: The Best of MTV's 120 Minutes, Vol. 2 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Acting as a sampler for MTV's flagship alternative show, Never Mind the Mainstream... was the best compilation of '80s alternative music released in America at the time. Featuring powerhouse tracks by R.E.M., Joy Division, Depeche Mode, and the Violent Femmes, this album serves as the ultimate introduction to what was popular in the alternative ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £9.90!
9	Violent Femmes [Deluxe Edition] (1983) more music like this by Violent Femmes add to wishlist For their deluxe, two-disc reissue of the Violent Femmes' classic first album, Rhino pulled out all the stops, not only remastering the album and offering extensive liner notes, but adding a full 26 bonus tracks. Of these, 22 are previously unreleased -- the ones that have appeared before are demos and rare U.K. singles, plus a song previously ... see all copies from £7.97! new only from £7.97!
10	Woodstock 94 [#1] (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from £2.49! new only from £16.04!
11	Freak Magnet [Bonus Tracks] (2000) more music like this by Violent Femmes add to wishlist The Violent Femmes' first album of new material to be released in the U.S. since 1994's muddled New Times (not counting the 1995 Australian release Rock!!!!!, reissued stateside in 1998), Freak Magnet is a pleasant surprise in its focus and consistency, marking yet another return to the group's folk-punk roots -- the punk side of the equation in ... see all copies from £6.86! new only from £6.86!
12	Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's, Vol. 9 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from £5.76! new only from £19.11!
13	New Times (1994) more music like this by Violent Femmes add to wishlist This quirky release shows the Violent Femmes casting far afield stylistically after the comparatively consistent (and excellent) platter Why Do Birds Sing? Only the catchy "4 Seasons" and the guitar-vocal-only "I'm Nothing" are in the jittery busking style of their previous album. There are a modest number of harder-rocking selections here, such ... see all copies from £2.49! new only from £6.21!
14	MTV's 120 Minutes Live (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The live performances on MTV's alternative video showcase 120 Minutes have always been a little frustrating, since the quality of the music was widely uneven and the performances tended to interrupt the flow of the show. On that basis, it would seem that the appearence of MTV's 120 Minutes Live is something of a mixed blessing, but that's not the ... see all copies from £3.11!
15	BBC Live (2005) more music like this by Violent Femmes add to wishlist Recorded live in the Summer of 1991 at London's Town & Country Club, the Hux label's BBC Live captures all of the volatility, humor, and wounded sarcasm that the Violent Femmes bring to each and every predictably unpredictable live show (bassist Brian Ritchie traditionally dictates the set list in real time). The group had just released Why Do ... see all copies from £12.64! new only from £12.64!
16	3 (1989) more music like this by Violent Femmes add to wishlist see all copies from £3.11! new only from £3.11!
17	Viva Wisconsin [Bonus Track] (1999) more music like this by Violent Femmes add to wishlist Few bands have captured the angst, sexual frustration, and repressed rage of the '80s and '90s better than the Violent Femmes. Without falling prey to death, breakups, and commercial overexposure, the Femmes have maintained their simmering intensity with an ever-growing loyal fan base of former punks, Generation Xers, and their younger brothers ... see all copies from £8.10! new only from £8.10!
18	Step Right Up: The Songs of Tom Waits [1996] (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Fifteen-song tribute album to Waits, dominated by alternative rockers, although a couple of previously released items (Tim Buckley's 1973 cover of "Martha," and 10,000 Maniacs' 1992 cassette single B-side "I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love with You") were licensed for the project. It's above-average as tribute discs go, with a diverse lineup (Alex ... see all copies from £7.41!
19	Machine (1994) more music like this by Violent Femmes add to wishlist see all copies from £3.11!
20	The Best of Mountain Stage Live, Vol. 7 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from £4.58! new only from £13.55!
21	Saturday Morning: Cartoons' Greatest Hits (1995) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist At least since the mid-'60s, there has been a dubious but undeniable connection between kids' television and novelty pop songs. With the rise of the Archies in the latter part of the decade, Saturday morning TV became saturated throughout the early '70s with wacky adventures of young-ish hipsters who just happened to be able to break into super ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £6.85!
22	Sedated in the Eighties, Vol. 2 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Of all the volumes in the Sedated in the Eighties series, volume two attempts to cast the widest net. On that level it functions as an effective sampler of the decade's new wave and underground groups -- even if, like almost all one-disc compilations that try and distill an entire decade -- it leaves a lot out. But by focusing on some of the ... see all copies from £6.72! new only from £8.10!
23	Triple J Hottest 100 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from £4.06!
24	Why Do Birds Sing? (1991) more music like this by Violent Femmes add to wishlist Two years after the release of their stripped-down and mellowed-out album 3, the Violent Femmes return with a disjointed and choppy but enjoyable album, Why Do Birds Sing?. This record is probably most famous for its cover of Culture Club's "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?." The acoustic sound they pioneered (way back before MTV Unplugged was even ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £3.11!
