1	Oh, Inverted World (2001) more music like this by The Shins Beginning with "Caring Is Creepy," which opens this album with a psychedelic flourish that would not be out of place on a late-1960s Moody Blues, Beach Boys, or Love release, the Shins present a collection of retro pop nuggets that distill the finer aspects of classic acid rock with surrealistic lyrics, independently melodic basslines, jangly ... see all copies from $6.91! new only from $12.00!
2	Good News for People Who Love Bad News (2004) more music like this by Modest Mouse After more than a decade with Modest Mouse, Isaac Brock still sounds young and weird and searching, and never more so than on Good News for People Who Love Bad News, which follows the band's meditative The Moon & Antarctica with a set of songs that are more focused, but also less obviously profound. The occasionally indulgent feel of The Moon & ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $12.69!
3	Odelay (1996) more music like this by Beck Beck's debut, Mellow Gold, was a glorious sampler of different musical styles, careening from lo-fi hip-hop to folk, moving back through garage rock and arty noise. It was an impressive album, but the parts didn't necessarily stick together. The two albums that followed within months of Mellow Gold -- Stereopathetic Soul Manure and One Foot in the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
4	In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (1998) more music like this by Neutral Milk Hotel Perhaps best likened to a marching band on an acid trip, Neutral Milk Hotel's second album is another quixotic sonic parade; lo-fi yet lush, impenetrable yet wholly accessible, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is either the work of a genius or an utter crackpot, with the truth probably falling somewhere in between. Again teaming with producer Robert ... see all copies from $9.97! new only from $13.25!
5	whitechocolatespaceegg (1998) more music like this by Liz Phair Following the halfhearted reception to Whip-Smart -- good enough to retain her critical stature, not good enough to enhance it -- Liz Phair slowly retreated from view, marrying and having a child. Toward the end of 1996, she began to work on her third album, but it took her nearly a year and a half to compete it, due to a variety of reasons. When ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.99!
6	Mutations (1998) more music like this by Beck According to party line, neither Beck nor Geffen ever intended Mutations to be considered as the official follow-up to Odelay, his Grammy-winning breakthrough. It was more like One Foot in the Grave, designed to be an off-kilter, subdued collection of acoustic-based songs pitched halfway between psychedelic country blues and lo-fi folk. The ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $5.99!
7	Let It Die (2004) more music like this by Feist Somewhere in between living with Peaches, playing guitar with By Divine Right, rapping with Chilly Gonzales, and singing with Broken Social Scene and Apostle of Hustle, Canadian songstress Feist started a solo career. Following up 1999's self-released Monarch, Let It Die was recorded in Paris between 2002 and 2003. The romance of the City of ... see all copies from $8.30! new only from $8.31!
8	Mellow Gold (1994) more music like this by Beck From its kaleidoscopic array of junk-culture musical styles to its assured, surrealistic wordplay, Beck's debut album, Mellow Gold, is a stunner. Throughout the record, Beck plays as if there are no divisions between musical genres, freely blending rock, rap, folk, psychedelia, and country. Although his inspired sense of humor occasionally plays ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $13.15!
9	The Creek Drank the Cradle (2002) more music like this by Iron & Wine Iron and Wine's debut record, The Creek Drank the Cradle, is written, produced, and performed by Sam Beam and features only Beam's voice, a gently strummed acoustic guitar, some slide guitar, and the occasional banjo. Iron and Wine creates intimate and emotional songs, recorded bedroom-style but never letting the lo-fi get in the way of the tune. ... see all copies from $10.55! new only from $12.56!
10	Our Endless Numbered Days (2004) more music like this by Iron & Wine On Our Endless Numbered Days, the follow-up to 2002's stunningly good Creek Drank the Cradle, the sound of Iron & Wine has changed but the song remains the same. No longer does Sam Beam record his intimate songs in the intimate surroundings of his home. Instead he has made the jump to the recording studio. As a result the record is much cleaner, ... see all copies from $11.14! new only from $11.95!
11 view cover	Cripple Crow (2005) more music like this by Devendra Banhart Cripple Crow marks a departure for Devendra Banhart. It's obvious from the faux Sgt. Pepper-meets-Incredible String Band freak scene cover photo that something is afoot. The disc is Banhart's first foray from Michael Gira's Young God label, and it's more adventurous than anything he's done before. This is not to imply that the set is a slick, ... see all copies from $11.14! new only from $13.25!
12 view cover	Lonesome Crowded West (1997) more music like this by Modest Mouse Talk about original -- this band has something for just about everyone. They can do quiet, brooding acoustics like "Bankrupt on Selling," dark and pounding thrashers like "Cowboy Dan," funky jump-around emo like "Jesus Christ Was an Only Child" -- just about anything. Throughout the whole album is a white-trash feeling and a sort of down-to-earth ... see all copies from $5.54! new only from $11.11!
13 view cover	My Cute Fiend Sweet Princess (2004) more music like this by Kimya Dawson Kimya Dawson can sing "I can spoon a guy and still be his friend" with no abashment. It's almost as if she was never taught what's indecent. Sometimes that's what makes her so unique. Although given a simultaneous release, this solo entry (the more pensive and respectable of the two) was recorded a year-and-a-half after Knock-Knock Who?. Unlike ... see all copies from $10.16! new only from $12.54!
14 view cover	Blue Screen Life (2001) more music like this by Pinback On the band's second album, Blue Screen Life, Pinback redefines its classic emo sound into something lush and personal. Quirky pop harmonies swirl into indie rock bliss and sweeping acoustics explore the bandmembers' grand air as they make a sound for themselves. Songs such as "Boo" and "XIY" showcase Pinback's growing musicianship and an ... see all copies from $9.86! new only from $14.67!
15 view cover	Scrubs (2002) more music like this by Original Television Soundtrack Some soundtracks are strictly souvenirs of a particular film or television series, and they aren't terribly meaningful if you aren't a fan of the movie or program in question. But other soundtracks are able to stand on their own two feet. Take the Scrubs soundtrack, for example. Whether or not one is a fan of the NBC sitcom Scrubs, this is a ... see all copies from $7.75! new only from $13.34!
16 view cover	This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About (1996) more music like this by Modest Mouse Expanding upon the themes of emotional and geographic isolation found in the band's previous work, This Is a Long Drive for Someone With Nothing to Think About finds Modest Mouse mixing slow, brooding numbers such as "Custom Concern" and "Talking Shit About a Pretty Sunset" with thrashing guitar workouts like "Breakthrough" and "Head South." The ... see all copies from $9.23! new only from $10.76!
17 view cover	Time Without Consequence (2006) more music like this by Alexi Murdoch After appearing on the soundtrack to the hit TV show The OC, Alexi Murdoch could have easily followed Death Cab for Cutie onto the major label merry-go-round and let a bevy of A&R folks shape him into Next Big Thinghood. Instead, the Scottish singer/songwriter's self-released debut full-length bears haunting similarities to the likes of Nick Drake ... see all copies from $11.40! new only from $14.90!
18 view cover	Wowee Zowee: Sordid Sentinels Edition (2006) more music like this by Pavement Unlike the double-disc reissues of Slanted & Enchanted and Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, the expanded re-release of Wowee Zowee -- subtitled the Sordid Sentinels Edition -- appeared a year after the album's tenth anniversary, but since this re-release maintains the standard of excellence set by the previous reissues, it seems a little churlish to ... see all copies from $13.29! new only from $13.29!
19 view cover	Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain: L.A.'s Desert Origins (2004) more music like this by Pavement Pavement's expanded double-disc 2002 reissue of Slanted & Enchanted -- dubbed Luxe & Reduxe in its deluxe incarnation -- was a landmark for expanded reissues, not just because it was the first time an indie rock band was subjected to such an exhaustive exhumation of the vaults, but because it was excellent in both its execution and material. Peel ... see all copies from $14.55! new only from $16.66!
20 view cover	Under the Bushes Under the Stars (1996) more music like this by Guided by Voices After firmly establishing themselves as America's most original and interesting band of part-time, over-30 garage rockers, Under the Bushes Under the Stars found Guided by Voices dipping their toes into something resembling professionalism. Leaving behind the homemade studio craft of their previous work, this album was recorded in a pair of actual ... see all copies from $3.03! new only from $8.64!
21 view cover	The Moon & Antarctica [Bonus Tracks] (2004) more music like this by Modest Mouse Modest Mouse's Epic debut, The Moon & Antarctica, finds them strangely subdued, focusing on mortality as well as the moody, acoustic side of their music and downplaying the edgy, spastic rock that helped make them indie stars. Not that their first major-label release sounds like a sellout -- actually, the slight sheen of Brian Deck's production ... see all copies from $9.78! new only from $9.78!
22 view cover	Alien Lanes (1995) more music like this by Guided by Voices It's surprising what a difference it makes when a musician knows someone will actually be hearing his work. After 1994's charmingly sloppy Bee Thousand gained Guided By Voices a nationwide cult following (instead of the local cult following they were accustomed to), 1995's Alien Lanes found Robert Pollard and his partners in hard pop cleaning up ... see all copies from $3.50! new only from $10.71!
23 view cover	Whip-Smart (1994) more music like this by Liz Phair Expectations ran extremely high for Liz Phair's follow-up to Exile in Guyville, one of the most critically acclaimed debut albums of all time. If there are flaws in this generally first-rate follow-up, they mostly arise in comparison with Guyville, a record of such unexpected impact that most anything Phair could have done may have been found ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
24 view cover	Do the Collapse (1999) more music like this by Guided by Voices There are basically two schools of thought regarding Guided By Voices. One claims that the band are in their element with a four-track, turning out impressionist albums of fragmented, mini-pop songs reminiscent of Jon Anderson fronting REM. The other claims that they're a great pop band that has never made a great pop album because they're held ... see all copies from $5.75! new only from $14.92!
25 view cover	Bee Thousand (1994) more music like this by Guided by Voices The cult of indie rock thrives on the unexpected discovery, and in 1994 Guided by Voices was just the sort of musical phenomenon no one figured was still out there -- 30-something rock obsessives cranking out fractured guitar-driven pop tunes in a laundry room. Robert Pollard and his stable of beer buddies/backing musicians had been churning out ... see all copies from $10.43! new only from $12.13!
