Listmania!
Some of the greatest music ever, I think.
By an Amazon.com customer
SignalsSignals by Rush
Buy used from: $1.69
Rush is my favorite band, and "Subdivisions" is my favorite song by them.
The Back RoomThe Back Room by Editors
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $2.46
I love this band! They have many B-sides on their singles that are even better than some of the songs on this CD.
Vena SeraVena Sera by Chevelle
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $5.75
Everything they do is awesome! This is the latest CD. I suggest skipping their 1st cd "Point #1", it's too raw sounding, like they had no studio budget.
Last RightsLast Rights by Skinny Puppy
Buy used from: $4.96
I have everything they ever recorded. Very noisy and dark industrial. Play it loud and scare your friends!
South of HeavenSouth of Heaven by Slayer
Buy used from: $4.70
My favorite metal band. They're much heavier and pissed off now, compared to this gem from 1988. Buy 'em all!!!
Turn on the Bright LightsTurn on the Bright Lights by Interpol
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.13
Another great band from NYC.
Live It OutLive It Out by Metric
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $6.90
Discovered them on DirecTV channel 101. They showed this terrific concert from Montreal which I have saved on my DVR. It made me get the first 2 discs. I'm totally hooked now and waiting for the next CD.
Under My SkinUnder My Skin by Avril Lavigne
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.49
She's so pretty!
ViolatorViolator by Depeche Mode
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.14
I've always liked them, but when this came out in 1990, it blew me away. One of my favorite bands of all time.
Future PerfectFuture Perfect by Autolux
Buy used from: $4.74
I don't think anyone's ever heard of them. Reminds me of (Imperial Teen). very stripped down, kinda simple with some noise thrown in music. Very alternative.
Day I ForgotDay I Forgot by Pete Yorn
Buy used from: $1.39
He's a great singer-songwriter. Pick up every CD from him!
Break the CycleBreak the Cycle by Staind
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $0.97
I like depressing music, and it's heavy to boot.
Everything You WantEverything You Want by Vertical Horizon
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01
Adult contemporary rock, but don't let that drive you away, they have killer songs. Get the last 2 cd's, the earlier stuff is very acoustic and not like those. Maybe they were trying to find their sound.
Different StarsDifferent Stars by Trespassers William
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $4.98
I kinda got teary-eyed when I first listened to this CD. Anna-Lynne Williams has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. It's an instrument all to itself. Very similar to (Mazzy Star), but better.
GravityGravity by Our Lady Peace
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.55
Great rock from Canada, eh?
DoolittleDoolittle by Pixies
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.95
To me, it's the start of the alternative boom of the late 80's and early 90's.
HoudiniHoudini by Melvins
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $5.25
Very sludgy! Like they're playing in maple syrup.
Final StrawFinal Straw by Snow Patrol
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $1.36
Just a great listen!
SuperunknownSuperunknown by Soundgarden
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $1.71
My favorite Soundgarden CD!
ParachutesParachutes by Coldplay
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.99
Brits can sure make good music!
WishWish by The Cure
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $0.76
I think the Cure are an acquired taste. I have many favorites including this one.
DulcineaDulcinea by Toad the Wet Sprocket
Buy used from: $0.01
Too bad these guys broke up. :(
Tears for Fears - Tears Roll Down: Greatest Hits 82-92Tears for Fears - Tears Roll Down: Greatest Hits 82-92 by Tears for Fears
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $0.25
One of my favorite bands of the 80's, which there are many. Each CD has it's moments, but this is all the casual listener needs.

Another band from the 80's that should still be making CD's.
Together AloneTogether Alone by Crowded House

if the Beach Boys were from Manchester, and in the 80's, they would have made music like this. Awesome stuff!
Kind of BlueKind of Blue by Miles Davis
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $1.99
I just think everyone who has ever wanted to try to listen to jazz, should get this CD.
Coltrane Plays the BluesColtrane Plays the Blues by John Coltrane

My favorite jazz musician.
After the SnowAfter the Snow by Modern English

Yeah it's got "I melt with you", but as a whole, it's a really good CD.
