1	Ten (1991) more music like this by Pearl Jam add to wishlist Nirvana's Nevermind may have been the album that broke grunge and alternative rock into the mainstream, but there's no underestimating the role that Pearl Jam's Ten played in keeping them there. Nirvana's appeal may have been huge, but it wasn't universal; rock radio still viewed them as too raw and punky, and some hard rock fans dismissed them as ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.50!
2	Jagged Little Pill (1995) more music like this by Alanis Morissette add to wishlist It's remarkable that Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill struck a sympathetic chord with millions of listeners, because it's so doggedly, determinedly insular. This, after all, plays like an emotional purging, prompted by a bitter relationship -- and, according to all the lyrical hints, that's likely a record executive who took advantage of a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.44!
3	Achtung Baby (1991) more music like this by U2 add to wishlist Reinventions rarely come as thorough and effective as Achtung Baby, an album that completely changed U2's sound and style. The crashing, unrecognizable distorted guitars that open "Zoo Station" are a clear signal that U2 have traded their Americana pretensions for postmodern, contemporary European music. Drawing equally from Bowie's electronic, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.03!
4	American Idiot (2004) more music like this by Green Day add to wishlist It's a bit tempting to peg Green Day's sprawling, ambitious, brilliant seventh album, American Idiot, as their version of a Who album, the next logical step forward from the Kinks-inspired popcraft of their underrated 2000 effort, Warning, but things aren't quite that simple. American Idiot is an unapologetic, unabashed rock opera, a form that ... see all copies from $4.65! new only from $8.99!
5	Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (1995) more music like this by The Smashing Pumpkins add to wishlist The Smashing Pumpkins didn't shy away from making the follow-up to the grand, intricate Siamese Dream. With Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, the band turns in one of the most ambitious and indulgent albums in rock history. Lasting over two hours and featuring 28 songs, the album is certainly a challenging listen. To Billy Corgan's credit, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $18.98!
6	Surfacing (1997) more music like this by Sarah McLachlan add to wishlist Surfacing was released as the first Lilith Fair tour hit the road, and Sarah McLachlan benefited enormously from the timing. As the organizer of Lilith Fair, McLachlan was on the cover of magazines across America and Canada, which helped Surfacing debut at number two on the U.S. charts -- a particularly remarkable feat since its predecessor, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.99!
7	Nevermind (1991) more music like this by Nirvana add to wishlist Nevermind was never meant to change the world, but you can never predict when the zeitgeist will hit, and Nirvana's second album turned out to be the place where alternative rock crashed into the mainstream. This wasn't entirely an accident, either, since Nirvana did sign with a major label, and they did release a record with a shiny surface, no ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $7.95!
8	Dookie (1994) more music like this by Green Day add to wishlist Green Day couldn't have had a blockbuster without Nirvana, but Dookie wound up being nearly as revolutionary as Nevermind, sending a wave of imitators up the charts and setting the tone for the mainstream rock of the mid-'90s. Like Nevermind, this was accidental success, the sound of a promising underground group suddenly hitting its stride just ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.44!
9	The Joshua Tree (1987) more music like this by U2 add to wishlist Using the textured sonics of The Unforgettable Fire as a basis, U2 expanded those innovations by scaling back the songs to a personal setting and adding a grittier attack for its follow-up, The Joshua Tree. It's a move that returns them to the sweeping, anthemic rock of War, but if War was an exploding political bomb, The Joshua Tree is a journey ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.44!
10	A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002) more music like this by Coldplay add to wishlist After touring in support of their debut album, Parachutes, Coldplay was personally and professionally exhausted. Frontman Chris Martin insisted he was dry; by the time they closed their European tour in summer 2001, he hadn't written a song in months. The U.K. music press immediately pounced on the idea of Coldplay calling it quits, but somewhere ... see all copies from $2.47! new only from $15.43!
11 view cover	X&Y (2005) more music like this by Coldplay add to wishlist After Radiohead stubbornly refused to accept the mantle of "world's biggest and most important rock band" by releasing the willfully strange rocktronica fusion Kid A in 2000, Coldplay stepped up to the plate with their debut, Parachutes. Tasteful, earnest, introspective, anthemic, and grounded in guitars, the British quartet was everything ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $8.74!
12 view cover	The Bends (1995) more music like this by Radiohead add to wishlist Pablo Honey in no way was adequate preparation for its epic, sprawling follow-up, The Bends. Building from the sweeping, three-guitar attack that punctuated the best moments of Pablo Honey, Radiohead create a grand and forceful sound that nevertheless resonates with anguish and despair -- it's cerebral anthemic rock. Occasionally, the album ... see all copies from $4.49! new only from $14.66!
13 view cover	Hot Fuss (2004) more music like this by The Killers add to wishlist There are so many garage rock/dance-rock tunes perfectly stylized and glamorous for the pop kids in the city and in the suburbs of new-millennium America. What's nice about these the bands producing these songs is how they strive so desperately to individualize themselves. On a commercial level, they do quite well in delivering catchy pop hooks. ... see all copies from $2.69! new only from $4.50!
14 view cover	Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (1993) more music like this by Sarah McLachlan add to wishlist Although 1991's Solace made Sarah McLachlan a star in Canada, her international breakthrough arrived two years later with Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, a softly assured album that combined the atmospheric production of Pierre Marchand (a former apprentice -- and evident disciple -- of Daniel Lanois) with some of McLachlan's strongest songwriting to ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.89!
15 view cover	Sublime (1996) more music like this by Sublime add to wishlist Sublime's eponymous major-label debut arrived a few months after the band's leader, Brad Nowell, died tragically of a heroin overdose. As a show of sympathy, the album tended to be slightly overrated in some critical quarters, who claimed that Nowell was an exceptionally gifted lyricist and musical hybridist, but Sublime doesn't quite support ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
16 view cover	OK Computer (1997) more music like this by Radiohead add to wishlist Using the textured soundscapes of The Bends as a launching pad, Radiohead delivered another startlingly accomplished set of modern guitar rock with OK Computer. The anthemic guitar heroics present on Pablo Honey and even The Bends are nowhere to be heard here. Radiohead have stripped away many of the obvious elements of guitar rock, creating music ... see all copies from $2.53! new only from $8.39!
17 view cover	Highly Evolved (2002) more music like this by The Vines add to wishlist They may be hyped by the British press as no less than the second coming of Nirvana, but on Highly Evolved the Vines offer something more interesting than yet another trawl through flannel-clad angst. True, the addictively short "Highly Evolved"'s primal beat and chunky guitars are certainly post-grunge, but not not in the boringly earnest, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
18 view cover	Weezer (Blue Album) (1994) more music like this by Weezer add to wishlist Even if you lived through it, it's hard to fathom exactly why Weezer were disliked, even loathed, when they released their debut album in the spring of 1994. If you grew up in the years after the heyday of grunge, it may even seem absurd that the band were considered poseurs, hair metal refugees passing themselves off as alt-rock by adapting a few ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.95!
19 view cover	MTV Unplugged in New York (1994) more music like this by Nirvana add to wishlist If In Utero is a suicide note, MTV Unplugged in New York is a message from beyond the grave, a summation of Kurt Cobain's talents and pain so fascinating, it's hard to listen to repeatedly. Is it the choice of material or the spare surroundings that make it so effective? Well, it's certainly a combination of both, how the version of the Vaselines' ... see all copies from $2.75! new only from $4.99!
20 view cover	Dummy (1994) more music like this by Portishead add to wishlist Portishead's album debut is a brilliant, surprisingly natural synthesis of claustrophobic spy soundtracks, dark breakbeats inspired by frontman Geoff Barrow's love of hip-hop, and a vocalist (Beth Gibbons) in the classic confessional singer/songwriter mold. Beginning with the otherworldly theremin and martial beats of "Mysterons," Dummy hits an ... see all copies from $2.66! new only from $12.01!
21 view cover	Rearviewmirror: Greatest Hits 1991-2003 (2004) more music like this by Pearl Jam add to wishlist Joe Strummer once claimed that the Clash had stardom in their hands, then they dropped it on the floor and broke it. Pearl Jam took the opposite tact: they purposely left stardom behind. Nirvana may have ushered in the age of grunge and alternative rock, but Pearl Jam were the biggest band in the land during the first half of the '90s, dominating ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
22 view cover	U218 Singles (2006) more music like this by U2 add to wishlist U2's first two greatest-hits albums neatly divided themselves by decade, with the first covering the '80s and the second summing up the '90s. Their third hits comp, 2006's U218 Singles, is at once more ambitious and more concise, offering an overview of their first 26 years on a single disc comprised of 18 tracks -- and since two of those are new ... see all copies from $12.47! new only from $12.47!
23 view cover	Yourself or Someone Like You (1996) more music like this by Matchbox 20 add to wishlist Yourself or Someone Like You turned out to be the standard-bearer for post-alternative rock because it has a '90s sheen in its production, but, for all the world, its core sounds like classic rock. Lead singer/songwriter Rob Thomas adopted some of Eddie Vedder's vocal mannerisms, but they were smoothed out, lacking the angst and pain that were ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $18.25!
24 view cover	Summerteeth (1999) more music like this by Wilco add to wishlist Jeff Tweedy once blazed the trail for the American rock underground's embrace of its country and folk roots, but as the decade draws to its close he's spearheading the return of classic pop; simply put, what once were fiddles on Wilco records are now violins -- the same instrument, to be sure, but viewed with a radical shift in perception and ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $9.99!
25 view cover	Because of the Times (2007) more music like this by Kings of Leon add to wishlist Leaning even further toward a kind of post-punk meets prog rock aesthetic than on their first two albums, Nashville-based Kings of Leon have crafted a darker, less pop-oriented and somewhat cerebral affair with 2007's Because of the Times. In fact, if Alan Parsons lent the Allman Brothers his spaceship, Because of the Times would be the resulting ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $13.25!
