 | Radiator by Super Furry Animals
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $6.69 Super Furry Animals is one of my very favorite bands, and this album is far and away their best. Every song on it is as good as the last. It has an original sound and catchy melodies. My top recommendation.

 | Disco Volante by Mr. Bungle
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $2.87 This is THE MOST unique album of all time, in my opinion. I don't know why, but I love it with a passion. Buy it. Really.
|
 | Luxury or Whether It Is Better To Be Loved Than Feared
Buy used from: $13.00 Even though Amazon misprinted their name, Captain Audio is an amazing band. This is album is one of my very favorites. There's not a mediocre song on it.
|
 | In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $7.99 This album grows on you greatly with each listen. I promise.
|
 | f#a# (infinity symbol) by Godspeed You Black Emperor!
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $7.87 Though "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven" is more accessible than f#a#, I enjoy this album more. "East Hastings" blows me away every time I hear it.
|
 | Astronomy for Dogs by The Aliens
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $0.76 If you're looking for an album that just rocks, here it is. It's basically modernized 60's psychedelia. All-around solid, great album.
|
 | The Gay Parade by Of Montreal
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $6.29 It will make you happy every time. Guaranteed. Everyone should own this album.
|
 | Oscillons from the Anti-Sun by Stereolab
Buy new: $24.98 / Used from: $11.24 Stereolab... They have so many albums, and all of them are good, so if you're wondering what they're all about, pick this album up. 3 discs of great Stereolab tunes and a DVD with some strange, wonderful videos. It's a great deal and a great listen.
|
 | Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella by Nurse With Wound
Buy used from: $74.88 Everyone can't enjoy this album. It's very weird, sometimes very loud, and all-around masterful. It helps define "experimental." I don't recommend buying it, but ONLY because, for some reason, it's $200...
|
 | Superimposers by The Superimposers
Buy new: $28.99 / Used from: $1.55 This album is strangely enjoyable. All the songs are catchy and nice. I never really get tired of hearing them.
|
 | Transmissions from the Satellite Heart by The Flaming Lips
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $2.63 Though not quite as out-there as some of the Flaming Lips other albums, "Transmissions From the Sattelite Heart" may still be my favorite. The songs are very fun.
|
 | Atom Heart Mother by Pink Floyd
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $5.94 I tried to avoid obvious classics here, but I put this album here anyway just because most people haven't heard it. It is one of my favorite Pink Floyd albums. It's very different, but in a very good way. I love it. Buy it just for the inserts.
|
 | The House of Apples and Eyeballs by The Octopus Project and Black Moth Super Rainbow
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $5.95 A very cool release. I believe that literally anyone can enjoy this album at least a little. Probably the neatest album I've ever heard.
|
 | Gideon Gaye by The High Llamas
Buy used from: $1.99 Each and every song is enjoyable, and it makes great background music. You'll probably never get tired of this album.
|
 | Moon Safari by Air
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $2.99 This is the ultimate in chilled out, melodic electro-pop. "La Femme d'Argent" may be the nicest song of all time.
|
 | Boces by Mercury Rev
Buy used from: $4.62 This is the best album by Mercury Rev, barely beating out "Deserter's Songs." It sounds a bit rough around the edges, but the entire album is extremely enjoyable. "Meth of a Rockette's Kick" should become a classic.
|
 | Spiderland by Slint
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $6.49 THE MOST beautifully disturbing album of all time. Hands down.

Listmania!
