Fun HouseFun House by The Stooges
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $2.89
One of the greatest rock and roll records ever made, and I'm not saying that just to sound smart, it really is true. Wild, exciting, rocking, soulful, experimental...words cannot describe-Wow!

How could I have seen this coming? We need more fun, funky platapus like this. Yeah!!!
Law of RuinsLaw of Ruins by Six Finger Satellite
Buy used from: $7.84
If a bunch of truly fed up killer robots decided to form a rock band, it might sound something like this. One of the best of 90s/last 20 years.

Best friends with the "Repo Man" soundtrack.
A Lull in TrafficA Lull in Traffic by Gloria Record
Buy used from: $4.46
Good emotional rock (if you say "emo" people often get turned off and think that it's just whinny music. Hell, I don't like the word "emo." It sounds like the name of an annoying muppet character)
New Day RisingNew Day Rising by Hüsker Dü
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $9.91
One of those rare ones where I liked it the very first time I heard it. It's melodic without loosing its edge. Great punk, post punk...whatever. It's just great.
Quality ControlQuality Control by Jurassic 5
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $3.11
Definitely one of the best rap albums I've heard in the last few years. "Mind, body and soul."

There's really nothing else out there that's quite like this. BOOM,BOOM,BOOM,BOOM,BOOM,BOOM,BOOM,BOOM
All Those Wasted YearsAll Those Wasted Years by Hanoi Rocks
Buy used from: $1.98
In a word: exciting! Fantastic forgotten 80's hard rock band that mixes various genres of rock music to create some kick-*ss stuff. Somewhere up in heaven, Razzle is drumming and having a blast.
Ege BamyasiEge Bamyasi by Can
Buy used from: $7.39
Krautackular! Lots of good stuff here: funk, rock, folk, experimental. Gotta love the way the lead singer pronounces "vitamin" as "veetamin." Those wacky Germans. What will they come up with next?
BrightBright by Bright
Buy new: $10.98 / Used from: $4.41
"Repetition is the thing." They find a really pleasing rock groove and just roll with it, not for too long either (usually only 2-3 min.)
You'd Prefer an AstronautYou'd Prefer an Astronaut by HUM
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $1.95
This is a beautiful album. It is dreamy but manages to rock at the same time. One of my top ten favorite albums (which doesn't mean didly to you, but I want to give you an idea of how good this is).
Sing Loud, Sing ProudSing Loud, Sing Proud by Dropkick Murphys
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.99
Great rough, tight, energetic punk that's got a lot of heart. Great use of non-traditional punk instruments (e.g.-bagpipes). If you ever get the chance to see them live, do. "Let's go, Murphy's!"

Really laid back, smoky, cool old school dub reggae.
Chocolate and CheeseChocolate and Cheese by Ween
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.50
It's hard to pick a favorite Ween album. It's either this or "The Pod" for me. This a good place to start though. No two strands of chococheese sound the same.

Let It BeLet It Be by The Replacements
Buy used from: $3.13
Wow! The opening track "I Will Dare" says it all. This is a punk band daring enough to try new things while (like Husker Du) still holding onto their edge. An emotional, awesome and even funny record.
Ambient 3: Day of RadianceAmbient 3: Day of Radiance by Laraaji
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $7.06

Hard to describe. Kindofa cross between early-mid 60's Brit. rock with soul. Complex, heartfelt pop songs. Kinda glad that they were never popular, mighta been over played on classic rock FM. Exclnt!
