1	Her Mystery Not of High Heels and Eye Shadow (2001) more music like this by Jonathan Richman Jonathan Richman's 19th album doesn't sport the raw passion of his debut with the Modern Lovers, nor does it showcase his vastly underestimated songwriting skills as superbly as prior solo albums like I, Jonathan and You Must Ask The Heart. It's just another exploration of the lovable troubadour's longstanding obsessions: the places he's been ( ... see all copies from £9.56! new only from £9.56!
2	Not So Much to Be Loved as to Love (2004) more music like this by Jonathan Richman Jonathan Richman has been slowly but surely maturing, which nearly 30 years after the first Modern Lovers album shouldn't be much of a surprise, but it is a wee bit startling to hear the guy who wrote "Ice Cream Man" and "Chewing Gun Wrapper" finally sounding like a full-fledged adult with the advent of the 21st century. Released in 2004, Not So ... see all copies from £2.74! new only from £2.74!
3	I, Jonathan (1992) more music like this by Jonathan Richman A lo-fi effort cut in a California basement, I, Jonathan returns Richman to the full band setting and manic diversity that recent conceptual efforts have forsaken. Sloppy and wild, the album is a blast from start to finish; among its many concerns are skydiving ("Tandem Jump"), sea life (the surf instrumental "Grunion Run"), nightclubbing ("I Was ... see all copies from £8.49! new only from £8.49!
4	Jonathan, Te Vas a Emocionar! (1994) more music like this by Jonathan Richman Although Richman's vocals have intermittently slipped into foreign tongues for years, Jonathan, Te Vas a Emocionar! is still a surprise: entirely sung in Spanish, the record is a charmer, transcending the language barrier with ease. Along with a few new originals and a handful of traditional Mexican tunes, the album primarily consists of loose ... see all copies from £6.83! new only from £6.83!
5	Live From 6A: Late Night With Conan O'Brien (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Live from 6A: Late Night with Conan O'Brien compiles 12 previously unreleased musical performances from the late-night variety show. The show's musical tastes tend toward the quirky and adventurous side of alternative rock -- O'Brien himself prefers rockabilly and Jonathan Richman, who is indeed showcased here -- and this collection is ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £3.41!
6	Jonathan Goes Country (1990) more music like this by Jonathan Richman The Skeletons' Lou Whitney and D. Clinton Thompson as well as a number of seasoned session vets join Richman as he ventures into Nashville territory. The material consists of a batch of originals, a few covers and a couple of old songs reworked from 1983's Jonathan Sings! The music's country affectations are entertaining without being gimmicky, ... see all copies from £6.23! new only from £10.49!
7	Surrender to Jonathan (1996) more music like this by Jonathan Richman Surrender to Jonathan was Richman's return to a major label, and he constructed the album as a showcase of his finest, or at least most notorious, songs of the early '90s. "Egyptian Reggae" and "I Was Dancing in the Lesbian Bar" are hauled out of the woodwork and given moderately polished reworkings by Andy Paley. Even with the slicker sound, ... see all copies from £8.20! new only from £9.95!
8	Modern Lovers 88 (1988) more music like this by Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers One of his better '80s efforts, and certainly one of the most basic, performed in an acoustic trio format. It's nonetheless quite rocking, with heavy debts to doo wop and Bo Diddley rhythms, and a jolly (though not sappy) summertime campfire feel. Some of his best uptempo tunes are here, including "I Love Hot Nights," "California Desert Party," ... see all copies from £9.49! new only from £10.49!
9	Jonathan Richman (1989) more music like this by Jonathan Richman As basic and bare-bones as its title, Jonathan Richman is a solo effort modeled after Richman's live show, spotlighting only his voice, guitar and percussive foot stomping. An eclectic mixture of originals and covers (occasionally sung in either French or Spanish), the record's simplicity is its charm; the high point, "I Eat With Gusto, Damn! You ... see all copies from £6.22! new only from £7.80!
10	John Peel Sub Pop Sessions (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Radio show host John Peel is known for his great taste in music and open forum for musicians to showcase their music. This compilation of Sub Pop artists performing songs on his British radio program is a great example of the strong performances he can get in his studio setting. Mudhoney starts with the magnificent "By Her Own Hand," a dark ... see all copies from £4.10! new only from £4.78!
11 view cover	Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers (1977) more music like this by Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers Richman's second collection of Modern Lovers, over which he was billed (eventually, the group name would be dropped) had a lighter rock & roll sound than the first. In fact, as often as not, Richman played acoustic guitar. And his lyrical concerns had similarly lightened up, to the point of childlike whimsy on such songs as "Hey There Little ... see all copies from £13.66! new only from £13.66!
12 view cover	I'm So Confused (1998) more music like this by Jonathan Richman Ric Ocasek steps in to produce a lush-sounding record for Jonathan Richman, employing quirky keyboards, percussive effects and background vocalists. "Nineteen in Naples" is one of his typical, naive travelogues: "When I was 19, I went across the pond and I found myself in the demimonde." But his charming nasal voice seems to have all but ... see all copies from £9.47! new only from £11.44!
13 view cover	This Is Where I Belong: The Songs of Ray Davies (2002) more music like this by Various Artists As tribute albums go, This Is Where I Belong: The Songs of Ray Davies and the Kinks achieves pop/rock perfection. Cobbled together by NBC television's Late Night With Conan O'Brien talent coordinator Jim Pitt, this collection wisely focuses on the Kinks' cherished album chestnuts as opposed to the well-worn hits that have either been a staple on ... see all copies from £10.27! new only from £11.82!
14 view cover	Having a Party with Jonathan Richman (1991) more music like this by Jonathan Richman see all copies from £9.87! new only from £12.44!
15 view cover	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 £8.09!
16 view cover	Back in Your Life (1979) more music like this by Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers Sweet, fun, and honest aptly describe this 1979 long-player by Jonathan Richman. And while some singers badly fumble at being innocently possessed, Richman keeps it all engaging with his unbridled enthusiasm, wit, and crack songs. This was Richman's first solo venture since forming the Modern Lovers in the early '70s, and the newfound freedom ... see all copies from £34.79! new only from £34.79!
17 view cover	Action Packed: The Best of Jonathan Richman (2002) more music like this by Jonathan Richman Following the dissolution of the Modern Lovers, Jonathan Richman ended up recording seven albums for the folk label Rounder Records. The not-so-unusual alliance resulted in a new/old sound for Richman and the results are readily evident on the collection Action Packed: The Best of Jonathan Richman. Unlike the noise and sneer barrage the Lovers ... see all copies from £10.49! new only from £10.49!
18 view cover	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 £11.61!
19 view cover	Jonathan Sings (1983) more music like this by Jonathan Richman Richman emerges as an incurable romantic on Jonathan Sings!, an infectiously sunny effort which stands among his finest LPs. Recorded after a long layoff with a new Modern Lovers lineup, Richman sounds thoroughly recharged, even extolling the simple virtues of "This Kind of Music"; among his other enthusiasms are kids ("Not Yet Three") and travel ... see all copies from £18.43!
20 view cover	Rhythm Come Forward, Vol. 3 (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Rhythm Come Forward, Vol. 3 collects reggae and reggae-inspired pop hits like the Clash's "Bankrobber/Robber Dub," Jimmy Cliff's "Roots Radical," Nina Hagen's "Russian Reggae," and Peter Tosh's "Equal Rights." Songs by Yellowman, Johnny Nash, Jonathan Richman, and Eddy Grant round out this diverse reggae sampler. Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from £3.95!
21 view cover	Because Her Beauty Is Raw and Wild (2008) more music like this by Jonathan Richman Jonathan Richman closes his 20th album, 2008's Because Her Beauty Is Raw and Wild, with "As My Mother Lay Lying," a simple, emotionally powerful song in which he sings about sitting with his mother as she hovered near death in a home for the elderly, and how much he continued to learn from her even in her final moments. It's a singular piece of ... see all copies from £6.78! new only from £7.90!
22 view cover	CBGB's and the Birth of U.S. Punk [Bonus Tracks] (2002) more music like this by Various Artists While the historically minded rock fan is doubtless aware that punk rock was born and bred in the United States, many passing observers still seem to think that English bands such as the Sex Pistols and the Clash dreamed the stuff up all on their own, neatly ignoring the fact that the Velvet Underground, the Stooges, MC5, and the New York Dolls ... see all copies from £10.31! new only from £10.31!
23 view cover	Roadrunner, Roadrunner: The Beserkley Collection (2004) more music like this by Jonathan Richman/Modern Lovers While Jonathan Richman has recorded for lots of different record labels over the years, both big and small, any fan of his music has to acknowledge the smarts and vision of the tiny Berserkley label, who for many years before the notion of "indie rock" had gained currency were willing to give Richman and his unusual (many would say "strange") ... see all copies from £12.03! new only from £12.03!
24 view cover	Rock 'n' Roll With the Modern Lovers [Bonus Track #2] (2006) more music like this by Jonathan Richman see all copies from £34.55! new only from £34.55!
25 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 £13.66!
