1	Parachutes (2000) more music like this by Coldplay add to wishlist The London foursome Coldplay were early critics' darlings in their native U.K., showcasing melodic pop on a slew of EP releases and constant live shows just after the spark of the new millennium. Not as heavy as Radiohead or snobbish as Oasis, Coldplay were revealed on Parachutes as a band of young musicians still honing their sweet harmonies. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.08!
2	So Tonight That I Might See (1993) more music like this by Mazzy Star add to wishlist Thanks to the fluke hit "Fade Into You" -- one of the better beneficiaries of alt-rock's radio prominence in the early '90s, a gentle descent of a lead melody accompanied by piano, a steady beat, and above all else, Hope Sandoval's lovely lead vocal -- Mazzy Star's second album became something of a commercial success. All without changing much at ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.78! \| first editions
3	Plans (2005) more music like this by Death Cab for Cutie add to wishlist For your consideration: a wildly successful indie rock band with a legion of followers on an equally successful, highly credible independent label makes the jump to major-label powerhouse Atlantic, leading to much chagrin and speculation among its fans as they awaited with bated breath for what would happen to the group. The result was For Your ... see all copies from $8.28! new only from $12.68!
4	Star (1993) more music like this by Belly add to wishlist Tanya Donelly's songwriting began to blossom on Throwing Muses' Real Ramona, and Belly's debut, Star, is where it reaches fruition. Using the trancy harmonies of dream pop as a foundation, Donelly expands the genre's boundaries, trimming away its pretensions and incorporating a flair for sweet, concise pop hooks and folk-rock inflections. She also ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.90!
5	Transatlanticism (2003) more music like this by Death Cab for Cutie add to wishlist As musical lunacy goes, things have gotten as crazy as it gets for Death Cab for Cutie since 2002's You Can Play These Songs with Chords compilation. A wildly successful tour with Dismemberment Plan, a collaboration for singer Ben Gibbard with emo-electronic guru Dntel under the Postal Service moniker, and a whole new legion of fans swooning to ... see all copies from $10.22! new only from $10.22!
6	The Soft Bulletin (1999) more music like this by The Flaming Lips add to wishlist So where does a band go after releasing the most defiantly experimental record of its career? If you're the Flaming Lips, you keep rushing headlong into the unknown -- The Soft Bulletin, their follow-up to the four-disc gambit Zaireeka, is in many ways their most daring work yet, a plaintively emotional, lushly symphonic pop masterpiece eons ... see all copies from $2.25! new only from $8.36!
7	Gish (1991) more music like this by Smashing Pumpkins add to wishlist Arriving several months before Nirvana's Nevermind, the Smashing Pumpkins' debut album, Gish, which was also produced by Butch Vig, was the first shot of the alternative revolution that transformed the rock & roll landscape of the '90s. While Nirvana was a punk band, the Smashing Pumpkins and guitarist/vocalist Billy Corgan are arena rockers, co ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.15!
8	Urban Hymns (1997) more music like this by The Verve add to wishlist Not long after the release of A Northern Soul, the Verve imploded due to friction between vocalist Richard Ashcroft and guitarist Nick McCabe. It looked like the band had ended before reaching its full potential, which is part of the reason why their third album, Urban Hymns -- recorded after the pair patched things up in late 1996 -- is so ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.06!
9	Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (2002) more music like this by The Flaming Lips add to wishlist After the symphonic majesty of The Soft Bulletin, the Flaming Lips return with Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, a sublime fusion of Bulletin's newfound emotional directness, the old-school playfulness of Transmissions From the Satellite Heart, and, more importantly, exciting new expressions of the group's sentimental, experimental sound. While the ... see all copies from $2.96! new only from $9.56!
10	Four-Calendar Cafe (1993) more music like this by Cocteau Twins add to wishlist Cocteau Twins' first release following their exodus from the 4AD stable, Four-Calendar Cafe is also, tellingly, their most earthbound effort; as with Heaven or Las Vegas, the emphasis here is on substance as much as style -- "Evangeline," "Bluebeard," and "Know Who You Are at Every Age" continue the trio's advance into more accessible melodic and ... see all copies from $3.45! new only from $9.99!
11	Loveless (1991) more music like this by My Bloody Valentine add to wishlist Isn't Anything was good enough to inspire an entire scene of My Bloody Valentine soundalikes, but Loveless' greatness proved that the band was inimitable. After two painstaking years in the studio and nearly bankrupting their label Creation in the process, the group emerged with their masterpiece, which fulfilled all of the promise of their ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $6.56!
12	Hit to Death in the Future Head (1992) more music like this by The Flaming Lips add to wishlist With Hit to Death in the Future Head, the Flaming Lips make the leap to major-label status as though it were the moment they've been waiting for all their lives. Though not as conceptually tight as In a Priest Driven Ambulance, the album is no less cohesive or imaginative, and in its way serves as the bridge between the band's noisier, more ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $6.50!
13	Lost Souls (2000) more music like this by Doves add to wishlist Hailing from the scene that brought the defining sounds of the Smiths, the Stone Roses, Oasis, James, and the Charlatans UK, Doves is another Brit-pop band playing around with depressing lyrical imagery and embryonic soundscapes that made the Mancunian circuit so popular throughout the '80s and '90s. Gloriously basking in the ethereal ones before ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $11.06!
14	Among My Swan (1996) more music like this by Mazzy Star add to wishlist Having built up a considerable reputation thanks to So Tonight That I Might See, Mazzy Star reappeared after three years with Among My Swan, only to receive widespread indifference. It's a touch surprising -- unlike, say, fellow 1993 breakthroughs the Cranberries, David Roback and Hope Sandoval didn't rapidly descend into self-parody crossed with ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $6.91!
15	Carnavas (2006) more music like this by Silversun Pickups add to wishlist Carnavas, the debut full-length from L.A.'s Silversun Pickups, is the sort of record that brings something new to discover with each listen. Thus, listen one is as enjoyable as listen five or ten, but probably for entirely different reasons, since unique bits continuously appear from the band's dream haze of accessibly textured indie rock. From ... see all copies from $8.96! new only from $12.74!
16	Clouds Taste Metallic (1995) more music like this by The Flaming Lips add to wishlist The same extraordinary madness that infected the best work of Brian Wilson rears its head on the shimmering and melodic Clouds Taste Metallic, a masterful collection which completes the Flaming Lips' odyssey into the pop stratosphere. The Pet Sounds comparisons are obvious -- two of the highlights are titled "This Here Giraffe" and "Christmas at ... see all copies from $7.88! new only from $7.88!
17	She Hangs Brightly (1990) more music like this by Mazzy Star add to wishlist Mazzy Star's debut, She Hangs Brightly, picks up where Opal's Happy Nightmare Baby left off; merely exchanging Kendra Smith's languorous vocals for the sultrier presence of Hope Sandoval, David Roback continues chasing the neo-psychedelic holy grail he's pursued since his days with the Rain Parade, albeit with mixed success here. After opening ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $11.00!
18	Nowhere (1990) more music like this by Ride add to wishlist Nowhere seems to hold consensus as the second-best record of the shoegaze era, and with very good reason. All of the common words, phrases, and adjectives commonly used with the short-lived subgenre fit properly here, and they're all positive, every one of them. Whir, whoosh, haze, swirl, ad nauseum -- this record holds all of these elements at ... see all copies from $6.50! new only from $6.50!
19	Love in the Time of Science (2000) more music like this by Emiliana Torrini add to wishlist Females in rock received a massive push toward the end of the '90s thanks to the spirited effort of Sarah McLachlan's Lilith Fair and the fierce drive of urban female artists such as Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill. During the new millennium the door remained open for other female singer/songwriters, including Emiliana Torrini. Torrini's beautiful ... see all copies from $9.91! new only from $9.91!
20	Okonokos (2006) more music like this by My Morning Jacket add to wishlist A lot has been made of the Okonokos DVD, My Morning Jacket's live concert film, recorded at San Francisco's Fillmore Auditorium (and which accompanies this double-disc release separately). The live performance DVD is so seductive and powerful -- because of the lush backdrop set and wonderfully immediate manner in which it was shot as well as the ... see all copies from $16.38! new only from $16.38!
21	Holding on for Brighter Days [Reissue] (2005) more music like this by 27 add to wishlist Hold on a second. Was the 2007 release by 27, Holding on for Brighter Days, really released via Relapse Records? You mean, the label that may have released/promoted more extreme metal artists than any other label on the planet? After you're done rubbing your eyes and focusing on the label logo on the back of this CD, you'll discover that this is ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $15.88!
22	23 (2007) more music like this by Blonde Redhead add to wishlist With each album since Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons, Blonde Redhead has made huge strides forward with their sound. Misery Is a Butterfly pitted fragile melodies against dark, swirling arrangements, and its tragic glamour turned the album into a cult favorite. On 23, the band trades the cloistered chamber rock of Butterfly for tone-bending ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
23	Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot (1995) more music like this by Sparklehorse add to wishlist Sparklehorse's 1996 full-length debut, Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot, has even more sad, beautiful, weird moments of spacy, rural folk-rock than it does letters in its name. Primarily the project of singer/songwriter/guitarist Mark Linkous, Sparklehorse's sound embraces impossibly frail, cobwebby ballads like the album opener "Homecoming ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $7.99!
24	Mary Star of the Sea (2003) more music like this by Zwan add to wishlist It was generally acknowledged that Billy Corgan wasn't just the heart of Smashing Pumpkins, he was their architect, their musical director, and dictator, responsible for every sonic detail of their records and sometimes creating it all on his own. So, when he ended the band in 2000, it seemed a little baffling because he could have carried on with ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $16.52!
25	Floating into the Night (1989) more music like this by Julee Cruise add to wishlist Hardcore David Lynch fans knew the album cut "Mysteries of Love" thanks to its appearance in the middle of Blue Velvet but otherwise, Julee Cruise and her singing abilities were total unknowns when Floating into the Night surfaced in 1990. When Twin Peaks took off, however, the album became more or less its unofficial soundtrack thanks to the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.97!
