 | Never Hear the End of It by Sloan
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $10.94 I saw 30 songs on there and thought, "No way do they pull this off." They did.
|
 | Cease to Begin by Band of Horses
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $8.49 Great album. Thanks for whoever suggested this album to me because this band name screams "avoid us" in my opinion. Not a fan of horses.
|
 | Time on Earth by Crowded House
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $5.54 Man, these guys really got dissed on this one. Not negative critical reviews as much as critical ignorance. They never got the attention they deserved. Makes me both sad and angry. Ditto for solo Neil Finn and Finn Brothers.
|
 | Gran Jukle's Field by The Nines
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $14.45 The best pop band that no one knows.
|
 | Era Vulgaris by Queens of the Stone Age
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $3.99 Rock, rock, rock.
|
 | Strangelet by Grant Lee Phillips
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $4.75 I like this one more than "Virginia Creeper" but less than "Mobilize".
|
 | Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $6.98 They have such a rich sound, but it's hard to have an Arcade Fire song stand on its own without listening to the whole album.
|
 | Autumn of the Seraphs by Pinback
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $6.63 Not as good as "Summer in Abaddon", but good.
|
 | The Deep Blue by Charlotte Hatherley
Buy new: $39.99 / Used from: $4.50 A female singer in my top album list? Yeah, not like me. Go ahead...call me sexist (when it comes to rock music). But she can rock and makes a very quirky, interesting song out of "Behave".
|
 | Wincing the Night Away by The Shins
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $8.20 I LOVE The Shins and this one continues to grow on me.
|
 | Phantom Punch by Sondre Lerche and the Faces Down
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $7.44 Reminiscent of Brendan Benson.
|
 | We All Belong by Dr. Dog
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $10.50 Very original sounding band. Are they folk, rock, altcountry? Who knows. Who cares.
|
 | Under the Blacklight by Rilo Kiley
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $7.05 I listened to this quite a bit when I moved here and then forgot about it for awhile. It's eclecticism is its saving grace.
|
 | Scripture Memory: Pop Symphonies by Rick Altizer
Buy used from: $7.19 Yes, this actually falls under Christian rock, but it's actually well done pop songs with Bible verses as lyrics. I am quite impressed by it actually.
|
 | Asleep at Heaven's Gate by Rogue Wave
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $7.79 This album DID get dissed by critics and for no good reason. I only heard it once, but I wanted to be nice and put it in here.
|
 | Happiness Ltd. by Hot Hot Heat
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $2.99 Again, critically dissed, but sounds OK to me. Guess I am not too picky. Then again, I haven't listened to it much.
|
 | Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga by Spoon
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $8.49 Something is lacking here, but it is still good. I think they peaked with "Gimme Fiction" though.
|
 | New Magnetic Wonder by The Apples in Stereo
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $3.99 What is with all of those short bits? Annoying as hell on what could have been their best album.

Listmania!
