Sing the SorrowSing the Sorrow by A.F.I.
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $2.30
My favorite cd. Ever. If you're into solving myseteries, try to decipher the underlying narrative in this album.
Alien Fashion ShowAlien Fashion Show by Alien Fashion Show
Buy used from: $6.29
An amazing "new swing" group that, sadly, died with the rest of that late 90's craze.
Yellow Submarine SongtrackYellow Submarine Songtrack by The Beatles
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $4.84
Enough said.
This Beautiful LifeThis Beautiful Life by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

More great swing... this isn't the disc with Go Daddy-O! on it but I like it more than the one that does.
ParanoidParanoid by Black Sabbath

Enough said, again.
I'm Wide Awake, It's MorningI'm Wide Awake, It's Morning by Bright Eyes

Conor Oberst's best cd finally starts not to weigh too heavily on the depression.
Motion Sickness: Live RecordingsMotion Sickness: Live Recordings by Bright Eyes
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $3.99
Conor Oberst isn't exactly the most powerful stage presence on the planet, but this collection of live tracks (it's NOT a concert disc) is well worth it. Listen to True Blue
Staring at the Sea: The SinglesStaring at the Sea: The Singles by The Cure
Buy used from: $2.10
See below.
GaloreGalore by The Cure
Buy used from: $1.97
It was easier just to put their two singles discs on this list thean to list the seven cds that belong on it. Don't buy the new Greatest Hits disc. Way too much missing.

The best death metal band's best cd. Enough said.
PlansPlans by Death Cab for Cutie
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $5.99

"Inhuman Rampage" sums it up pretty well. Some of the most amazing guitar work this side of...
OctavariumOctavarium by Dream Theater
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $6.29
What makes Dream Theater truly stand out from the rest of the metal world (besides the obvious) is the amazing ballads. Listen to "The Answer Lies Within"
Danse MacabreDanse Macabre by The Faint
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $2.40
Tech-rock at it's finest. The Faint is one heck of a strange group though. "Your Retro Career Melted", anyone?
Tyrannosaurus HivesTyrannosaurus Hives by The Hives
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $1.79
This Hive album is a must-have for any lover of punk rock.
Electric LadylandElectric Ladyland by The Jimi Hendrix Experience

St. AngerSt. Anger by Metallica
Buy new: $116.98 / Used from: $49.99
Excellent new metal. Metallica fans will tell you this disc is awful. Don't listen to them.

Gotta love it.
End of an EraEnd of an Era by Nightwish
Buy new: $28.99 / Used from: $53.96
Aw, hell... any and all of Nightwish's fantastic albums are worth the buy. Listing them all would take too much time. Absolutely fantastic vocals by the soprano frontwoman.

The Bible of industrial music.

9.0: Live9.0: Live by Slipknot

Supposedly one of the greatest live acts ever, buying their live album seems to make sense.
Rump ShakerRump Shaker by Suburban Legends

Southern California's underground ska sensation, these guys put on an amazing live show and recorded and released this album themselves.

The opening quote from the film Amadeus sums up this album quite perfectly (A young man trying to impress beyond abilities, too much spice, too many notes).

Classic Weezer geek-rock.
