1	Garbage (1995) more music like this by Garbage Garbage's self-titled debut has all the trappings of alternative rock -- off-kilter arrangements, occasional bursts of noise, a female singer with a thin, airy voice -- but it comes off as pop, thanks to the glossy production courtesy of drummer Butch Vig. Not only is the sound of the record slick and professional, but all the songs are well ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $16.81!
2	Loveless (1991) more music like this by My Bloody Valentine 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 $7.10! new only from $7.10!
3	Marie Antoinette (2006) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The way the visuals and music clashed in the first round of trailers for Marie Antoinette, in which the teenage Queen of France and her powdered wig- and silk brocade-wearing courtiers frolicked in the garden and played dice to the strains of New Order's "Ceremony," fell somewhere between being exciting and contrived. The full soundtrack to the ... see all copies from $11.85! new only from $16.08!
4	Urban Hymns (1997) more music like this by The Verve 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 $2.98! new only from $14.78!
5	The Stone Roses (1989) more music like this by The Stone Roses Since the Stone Roses were the nominal leaders of Britain's "Madchester" scene -- an indie rock phenomenon that fused guitar pop with drug-fueled rave and dance culture -- it's rather ironic that their eponymous debut only hints at dance music. What made the Stone Roses important was how they welcomed dance and pop together, treating them as if ... see all copies from $3.83! new only from $12.69!
6	Isn't Anything (1988) more music like this by My Bloody Valentine Though it's often seen as just a precursor to their magnum opus Loveless, in its own way My Bloody Valentine's Isn't Anything is nearly as groundbreaking as their 1991 masterpiece. Not only was it the most lucid, expansive articulation yet of the group's sound, it virtually created the shoegazing scene and spawned legions of followers. The album's ... see all copies from $6.70! new only from $9.20!
7	21 Singles 1984-1998 (2002) more music like this by The Jesus and Mary Chain 21 Singles is a perfect, understated title for a compilation that nonchalantly illustrates just why the Jesus and Mary Chain are revered by post-punk partisans and are considered so influential. Sure, Psychocandy is the masterwork -- ground zero for noise pop and shoegazing, a record that helped shift the course of indie rock in the second half of ... see all copies from $9.04! new only from $16.47!
8	A Storm in Heaven (1993) more music like this by The Verve Whereas future Verve masterpieces A Northern Soul and Urban Hymns would feature succinct song structures (for the most part) and instantly memorable verses and choruses, the group's 1993 full-length debut, A Storm in Heaven, was based on buoyant, extended psychedelic passages. Looking back today, it was an interesting and original musical ... see all copies from $7.43! new only from $10.79!
9	Bavarian Fruit Bread (2001) more music like this by Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions Hope Sandoval built up real steam fronting the darkly mysterious yet slinky slow-core swooners Mazzy Star. If Mazzy did themselves no favors playing shows in total darkness or close to it, it just seemed to add to the wee-hours shimmer of their vibey reputation. Certainly, Sandoval's unhurried, husky whisper was a major part of it. But her first ... see all copies from $8.57!
10	Just Say Anything: Volume V of Just Say Yes (1991) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.69!
11 view cover	Killing Time (1992) more music like this by Bleach Bleach's full debut album was a bit unusual -- the lineup hadn't changed a whit, Nigel "Chopper" Palmer still engineered and co-produced the album, everything generally sounded the same, yet somehow things didn't always connect as they had on earlier releases. Arguably, part of this was due to a certain consistency in their sound, which over an ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.95!
12 view cover	Doppelgänger (1992) more music like this by Curve Following a series of single and EP releases that had found chart success in the U.K. and indie credibility in the States, the British band Curve released their full-length debut Doppelganger on Dave Stewart's Anxious label. Led by lead singer Toni Halliday and guitarist Dean Garcia, both of whom had toured with Robert Plant, Curve enlisted ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.64!
13 view cover	It'll End in Tears (1984) more music like this by This Mortal Coil The first of 4AD owner Ivo Watts-Russell's multi-artist studio sessions under the This Mortal Coil name, 1984's It'll End in Tears was a surprisingly influential album in many circles, key in the reawakening of interest in artists like Alex Chilton and the late Tim Buckley by a younger generation of listeners. (Two songs from Big Star's Third are ... see all copies from $11.40! new only from $14.14!
14 view cover	The Complete Stone Roses (1995) more music like this by The Stone Roses The Complete Stone Roses concentrates on the band's first album, compiling the A- and B-sides of the group's hits from "Elephant Stone" to "One Love." In addition to the familiar material, the disc includes rare, early singles like "So Young" and "Sally Cinnamon" for the first time on compact disc, giving their classic material some context. There ... see all copies from $4.44! new only from $11.06!
15 view cover	New English EP (2006) more music like this by Ambulance LTD Ambulance LTD's New English EP is a seven-song placeholder that serves the dual purpose of reminding listeners that they are a darn good band (as evidenced on their 2004 LP) and getting those same listeners excited for their next full-length. The EP is made up of four new songs, two demos, and a fun and reverential live version of Pink Floyd's ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.03!
16 view cover	Smile (1990) more music like this by Ride A pairing of Ride's first two EPs, Smile is a batch of eight muddy, shambling wrecks that run dangerously close to obscuring great pop songs. In fact, much of Smile makes My Bloody Valentine's blurry Isn't Anything sound as polished as a Steely Dan record. What makes the tunes remarkable is the spirit of the band, along with a complementary mix. ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $10.20!
17 view cover	A Northern Soul (1995) more music like this by The Verve Though shorn of the more overtly shoegazer-styled elements of their debut A Storm in Heaven, the Verve's sophomore effort A Northern Soul is no less epic in scope, forging a heavier, more traditionally psychedelic sound infused with a chaotic energy which mirrors the emotional upheaval at the heart of Richard Ashcroft's songs. Reportedly produced ... see all copies from $7.39! new only from $14.43!
18 view cover	Just for a Day (1991) more music like this by Slowdive Just for a Day is Slowdive's first album, and it shows; when one listens to the magnificent sound of Souvlaki or the brilliant experimentation of Pygmalion, it becomes clear that Just for a Day was only a step toward the greatness they would later achieve. Its sound is quite like Souvlaki's -- swelling waves of flanged guitars, layers of wispy ... see all copies from $3.35! new only from $10.79!
19 view cover	The Milk of Human Kindness (2005) more music like this by Caribou Dan Snaith's recordings as Manitoba exuded a flair for recycling the most enthusiastic of early-'90s indie rock within the context of a one-man production band. Slightly naïve and only a passable songwriter, he nevertheless compensated with his gushing productions and the sort of breathless vocals that only a newcomer can imbue with such pleasure. ... see all copies from $7.98! new only from $14.14!
20 view cover	Today (1988) more music like this by Galaxie 500 Galaxie 500's debut doesn't merely live up to the sweet promise of the band's debut single "Tugboat," Today's final song, but almost without trying becomes its own gently powerful touchstone. While the influences are clear -- third album Velvet Underground, early non-dance New Order, psychedelic haze and fuzz thanks to the reverb Kramer piled on ... see all copies from $9.40! new only from $10.70!
21 view cover	Psychocandy (1985) more music like this by The Jesus and Mary Chain Arguably Psychocandy is an album with one trick and one trick alone -- Beach Boys melodies meet Velvet Underground feedback and beats, all cranked up to ten and beyond, along with plenty of echo. However, what a trick it is. Following up on the promise of the earliest singles, the Jesus and Mary Chain with Psychocandy arguably created a movement ... see all copies from $6.48! new only from $10.76!
22 view cover	Cuckoo (1993) more music like this by Curve Curve's second record finds more midtempo songs and a more electronic feel, although producer Flood still manages to bring out the band's dense sonic tendencies. While the music on Cuckoo is less aggressive than Doppelganger, singer Toni Halliday's lyrics are well defined and still pack a punch. Often playing the woman spurned, but not broken, ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $10.79!
23 view cover	Pubic Fruit (1992) more music like this by Curve Pubic Fruit is not a proper follow-up to Curve's debut full-length, instead gathering together three of the band's earlier EP releases that had only been released in the U.K. and adding the previously unavailable 12" version of "Faît Accompli." Despite the album being a compilation of sorts, it holds together quite nicely and provides a good look ... see all copies from $3.72! new only from $10.79!
24 view cover	No Come Down (1994) more music like this by The Verve The Verve had amassed a substantial amount of non-album B-sides from British singles issued in light of their 1993 debut full-length, A Storm in Heaven, which remained largely unheard elsewhere in the world. To coincide with a spot on Lollapalooza 1994's second stage, a nine-track compilation of uncommon material was issued Stateside, entitled No ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $10.79!
25 view cover	Andorra (2007) more music like this by Caribou As Dan Snaith became an accomplished producer with his Manitoba and Caribou albums of the 2000s, the breathtaking vitality of his early work gave way to music that may have been more accomplished, but was never as interesting or as fun to listen to. Andorra is just the kind of break with the past that he needed after 2005's relatively lackluster ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $13.25!
