 | In Rainbows by Radiohead
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $7.49 Newest bunch of songs. Nearly all of them are rated 4/5 in my book. I wonder if this will be the last new bunch for another bunch of years?
|
 | OK Computer by Radiohead
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $2.99 The classic Radiohead album that picked up where The Bends ended and shot straight into the weird stratosphere.
No Surprises is lovingly ironic.
|
 | The Bends by Radiohead
Buy new: $11.97 / Used from: $5.55 Notable songs: Street Spirit, Iron Lung, and No Surprises.
|
 | Kid A by Radiohead
Buy new: $11.97 / Used from: $4.00 Fav song off this cd: Disappearing Completely.
|
 | Pablo Honey by Radiohead
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $2.40 First cd highlighted by the immortal Creep.
|
 | Hail to the Thief by Radiohead
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $3.54 Fav song: Sail to the Moon. It reminds me of a Ted Gulliam movie - notably The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
|
 | Amnesiac by Radiohead
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $4.00 Often overlooked and overshadowed by the other cds, Kid A's companion cd.
|
 | ( ) by Sigur Rós
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $6.43 Deeply moving and enriching band, I became aware of Sigur Ros after listening to Untitled #8, but I really fell in love with the cd after listening to Untitled #3.
|
 | Takk... by Sigur Rós
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $7.47 Home of arguably the most popular Sigur Ros song: Hoppipolla.
|
 | Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $8.50 Bunch of these songs are in movies, European films mostly though - most famously in Girl in the Cafe.
|
 | Corinne Bailey Rae by Corinne Bailey Rae
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $5.49 Absolute favourite female singer atm. Saw her on Live From Abbey Road and immediately bought this cd. Lovely voice and lovely to look upon, Corinne's music is what modern soul music should be.
|
 | New Soul
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $69.13 A bit offbeat, but homegrown and a joy to listen to. Might be just too unusual for the main to love, but I love it.
|
 | Fear of a Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $7.49 If you've never listened to this band before, listen to them now. This cd rocks and any fan of rock music will dig this.
|
 | The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place by Explosions in the Sky
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $8.50 Headlined by their best song (I think) Your Hand in Mine, this cd kills.
|
 | 9 by Damien Rice
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $5.39 This guy is kinda intense, but his music is great. Check out 9 Crimes. I fell in love with Lisa Hannigan (co-vocals in the song) after listening to the song.
|
 | Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice
The title here is of a song I now consider one of the great love songs of all time. I strongly urge anyone to listen.
|
 | Release the Stars by Rufus Wainwright
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $2.38 This cd, I saw Rufus perform two of its songs on Henry Rollins Show (great show, watch it on IRC channel) and I immediately loved Going to a Town. When I bought the cd, there were a few more that stood out above the rest: Tiergarten, Leaving for Paris, and Sanssouci. Marvelous! lol
|
 | The Eraser by Thom Yorke
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.99 Any fan of Radiohead knows about this cd and those that don't - shame on them. Fav song of this: Cymbal Rush.
|
 | Hidden Vagenda by Kimya Dawson
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $9.50 What can I say? I love her voice and her songs are personable, intimate, offbeat, and funny. If I hadn't seen Juno (Ellen Page is lovely, too bad I hadn't really noticed her in X-men) I'd probably miss out on this woman.
|
 | Vampire Weekend by Vampire Weekend
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $10.98 Last on this list, newest of the new, Vampire Weekend's cd is hightlighted by two of my fav songs: A-Punk (great video btw) and M79. Something different for the different listeners.
