By an Amazon.com customer
Love Is HellLove Is Hell by Ryan Adams
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $8.74
Some of the most depressing songs you'll hear all year, but at the same time it is quite beautiful
Unearthed (5CD)Unearthed (5CD) by Johnny Cash
Buy new: $48.47 / Used from: $45.99
Four disks of unreleased Johnny (1994-03). It makes me reminds me of just how much he is missed
The Triplets of BellevilleThe Triplets of Belleville
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $6.79
Probably not for you if you don't like forgien language music, but I find it quite wonderful. Ben Charest did such an amazing job. Track 15 sounds like something Dick Dale would do if he was French
Pure Brazil: Bossa4TwoPure Brazil: Bossa4Two by Various Artists
Buy used from: $9.47
Another forgien language album. Brazilian lounge music is a refreshing break from contemporary jazz artists such as Michael Buble and Peter Conte
StreetcoreStreetcore by Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $5.95
Joe's last work. Some folky, some punkish, all beautiful
Good News for People Who Love Bad NewsGood News for People Who Love Bad News by Modest Mouse
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $2.63
Modest Mouse goes way beyond their "emo" stereotype, and makes some of the most eclectic music of the year
The Delivery ManThe Delivery Man by Elvis Costello & The Imposters
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $1.49
Elvis' latest is another master piece that rivals "When I Was Cruel" as my favorite album by him
The Ultimate Collection: Recorded LiveThe Ultimate Collection: Recorded Live by Brian Setzer Orchestra
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $7.63
Brian has always been one of my favorite artists and all his works are worh listening to. This is a great compilation, and includes Stray Cats songs previously unrecorded by the BSO
Welcome to the Monkey HouseWelcome to the Monkey House by The Dandy Warhols
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.47
New Wavey. Very nice. Glad to see some bands aren't afraid to look back to other generations for inspiration.

This iswhat Morrisey's new album should sound like
