Just coming back into this thread to say this. Yes!

"Son of a Gun" - The La's "Still Be Around" - Uncle Tupelo "Rocking Chair" - House Of Freaks "Metal Mickey" - Suede "Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying" - Belle & Sebastian "Common People" - Pulp "The Power of Pussy" - Bongwater "Here Comes the Man With the Plucked-Out Eyes" - Dogbowl "End Of a Century" - Blur "The International Language of Screaming" - Super Furry Animals "Ping Pong" - Stereolab "Stratford On Guy" - Liz Phair "I Swear, Happy Days Are Mine" - Shrimp Boat "What Do You Think of Love?" - Shrimp Boat "Nonchalant" - The Flavor Channel and many, many more that I'll add later.

The EPs thread reminded me that this one should have made my list: Martin Newell - The Greatest Living Englishman

Let's see if I can think of a few, meself... Grifters - Eureka A solid collection of 90's lo-fi pop. Guided By Voices - Tigerbomb Contains my favorite Toby song ("Dodging Invisible Rays") The Dukes of Stratosphear - 25 O'Clock The debut of XTC's psychedelic alter-ego. And a stone-cold classic! Primus - Miscellaneous Debris Covers of songs by Peter Gabriel, XTC, The Residents, The Meters, and Pink Floyd Martin Newell - Let's Kiosk! If you're a fan of XTC, Robyn Hitchcock, The Kinks, and stuff like that, and you have yet to hear Martin... this isn't a bad place to start.

Bettye Lavette - The Scene Of the Crime Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison Dwight Yoakam - dwightyoakamacoustic.net Pixies - Doolittle Nick Cave - Abbatoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus

yup. One of the most-depressing albums that I've ever heard.

Eels - Electro-Shock Blues

Thanks. And tinnitus: I love me some Dogbowl! (I also own that Shrimp Boat box set, which is pretty amazing.)

And I completely agree with Teenage Fanclub Bandwagonesque Thirteen Grand Prix Songs From Northern Britain Not too shabby.

Figure that, since that other thread is about the bands, this would be a good place to list and discuss the albums of that past decade. Mine, in no particular order: Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Los Lobos - Kiko Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque Blur - Parklife Pulp - Different Class Neutral Milk Hotel - On Avery Island Guided By Voices - Alien Lanes Guided By Voices - Bee Thousand Super Furry Animals - Radiator The La's - The La's Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister Yo La Tengo - Electr-o-Pura Wilco - Summerteeth

You know... I think that you and I are on the same wavelength.

That's kinda funny since I'm almost certain picked it up at Streetside Records in Columbia, MO in Dec., 1989. Of course, I was in college, so time was a pretty malleable thing at that time. Oh, and, did I mention... LOS LOBOS!!! ?

Definitely. Maybe Stereolab, too? Oh, and... LOS LOBOS!!!

The debut album came out in 1989. Late 1989, but 1989, nontheless. And, still... LOS LOBOS!

I can get down with Yo La Tengo, Guided By Voices, and Pavement. Had Neutral Milk Hotel had more than just 2 records, they would win this for me, hands down. BUT... did I miss it, or has anybody yet to mention LOS LOBOS? The Neighborhood Kiko Colossal Head This Time And, that's not even to mention The Latin Playboys material.

Deee-Lite - World Clique Yo La Tengo - I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass Dennis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blue Bobby Fuller Four - The Best Of... The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Orange

Just took this out of the library: So far, so great.

Love - Love The Auteurs - New Wave Souled American - Around the Horn Eleventh Dream Day - Beet Love - Forever Changes

Frank Black - Bluefinger Frankie Miller - Once In a Blue Moon

Merry-Go-Round - Listen Listen: The Definitive Collection Emitt Rhodes - The American Dream Emitt Rhodes - Daisy-Fresh From Hawthorne, CA Bonnie Prince Billy - Beware Butterflies - Butterflies

Trailer here: Nice. But I find nothng on IMDB. Damn. Anyone else have any more information on this?

Kinda creepy. Kinda cool. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=113673324 Okay, not cool. But interesting. I have to admit to uploading 2 songs to the site and one was "Platinum" status (8.7), the other was "Keep Trying" (4.4). As a musician, it is cool to see (at least on a mathematical level) whether or not my song is a "hit". Won't change a damn thing about the way I write or perform, but it's cool nonetheless. So maybe it is cool... like that.

How is this?

It had been a while, but it was every bit as good as I remembered it.
