By an Amazon.com customer
CardinologyCardinology by Ryan Adams & the Cardinals
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $5.40
A very different Ryan Adams album, but great. I'm totally biased though since I like absolutely everything he does whether or not other people like it or not. Fav Track: Cobwebs
1919 by Adele

@#%&*! Smilers@#%&*! Smilers by Aimee Mann
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $7.50
I love everything Aimee Mann does, and this is no exception. She never gets the credit she deserves for putting out consistently good albums. Fav Track: Phoenix
I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings TooI Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too by Martha Wainwright
Buy new: $17.98 / Used from: $5.82
Finally. It's been too long since her last album! Fav Track: You Cheated Me
Ode to J. SmithOde to J. Smith by Travis
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $8.95
I can't believe I almost forgot to add this album! Travis are one of those bands where I never understood why they never really caught-on in America. They are immensely popular eveywhere else in the world. And just like what I said about Aimee Mann, they don't really get the credit they deserve for making consistently good pop music. Fav Track: Something Anything
