Peter Bjorn and John - Writer's Block (2006)

Writer's Block - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6ITSH6G0

Peter Bjorn and John are three guys from Sweden who make catchy indie rock. You've heard the song "Young Folks" everywhere. The rest of the album is good as well.

Favorite Tracks: Young Folks, Amsterdam, Let's Call it Off

Fiona Apple - Tidal (1996)

Tidal- http://www.megaupload.com/?d=29FIVIO5

Fiona Apple's sultry Tidal is a window into her soul. Deeply introspective, the album is an antidote to packaged pop the likes of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.

Favorite Tracks: Criminal, Sleep to Dream

Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995)

(What's the Story) Morning Glory? - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=76J9LDTO

Liam and Noel Gallagher are two pompous assholes. But, they did make a great album. Here it is.

Favorite Tracks: Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova

The Strokes - Is This It (2001)

Is This It - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GBZ8QY2G

The eleven songs on Is This It speed by in just slightly more than half an hour, each one so tightly constructed and urgently delivered that even the ballads seem fast. The Strokes are obsessed with rhythm, and at times their approach is more like that of a soul or funk band than a rock band.

Favorite Tracks: The Modern Age, Last Nite

The Cure - Disintegration (1989)

Disintegration - http://rapidshare.com/files/60741038/TCd.rar

Robert Smith is the poster child of despair and gloom. This album is dark and moody. It features great grooves and wonderful melodies. It makes feeling sad sound good.

Favorite Tracks: Lovesong, Lullaby

A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders (1993)

Midnight Marauders - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MGG2WU9P

This album is a great fusion of jazzy rhythms and intellectual lyrics. Definitely an album to play at night.

Favorite Tracks: Award Tour, Electric Relaxation

De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising (1989)

3 Feet High and Rising - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NHZ1UYQL

De La Soul's message of peace and harmony was somewhat unique in the late 80's hip hop scene. This breezy album is the antithesis of hardcore. This is a jazzy and fun album.

Favorite Tracks: Me Myself and I, Eye Know

Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction (1987)

Appetite For Destruction - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NTKDJRUH

The debut album from G N' R kicked so much ass because these were a couple of guys all about rock n roll in a era full of pretty boy hair bands. Axel's shrieking voice and Slash's monstrous guitar are in full effect on this album.

Favorite Tracks: Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, Sweet Child 'O Mine

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours (1977)

Rumours - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DL8IQEXA

This album contains some of the best pop rock to ever be recorded. Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks combine to create one of the 70's most ubiquitous albums. Nearly each track was a chart topping hit.

Favorite Tracks: You Can Go Your Own Way, The Chain

The Doors - LA Woman (1971)

LA Woman - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MW5E36UG

Released just months before Jim Morrison's death, this album is in many ways the most mature of The Doors catalog. Featuring a hard-rock blues sound, this album is a testament to the great combination of Morrison's charismatic voice and Ray Manazerek's pounding keyboards.

Favorite Tracks: Love Her Madly, LA Woman

Dr. Dre - 2001 (1999)

2001- http://www.megaupload.com/?d=D517WZG5

This album really needs no description. It's just a tape full of dope beats to bump when you stroll through your hood.

Favorite Tracks: The Watcher, The Next Episode

Ghostland Observatory - Robotique Majestique (2007)

Robotique Majestique - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MBYK6DYH

Ghostland Observatory's energizing dance rock is like an audio laser light show. The duo from Austin, Texas have crafted a remarkably deep, intense, and unpretentious album that is a solid listen.

Favorite Tracks: Heavy Heart, Dancing On My Grave

She and Him - Volume One (2008)

Volume One - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8SFZU0HM

You may recognize She and Him's singer Zoey Deschanel from movies like Will Ferrel's "Elf". Her deep and raspy voice is mesmerizing and soothing. Coupled with super producer M.Ward this album's distinctly retro vibe is relaxing as a cup of afternoon tea. Featuring mainly original music along with some solid cover songs, this album is not to be missed. Another great album from Merge Records. Plus, I think I am in love with Zoey...

Favorite Songs: Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?, Change is Hard.

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless (1991)

Loveless - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PIJWA53F

My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless" is a masterpiece of indie rock. The album has a particular sound defined by the use of guitars strummed with a tremolo bar, sampled drum loops, and obscured vocals.

Favorite Tracks: When You Sleep, Come In Alone

My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges (2008)

Evil Urges - http://www.sendspace.com/file/crk2i1

This album blew me away. Probably my favorite album of 2008 thus far. These guys are amazing live and this album catches that live magic. Jim Jones's voice is so strangely unique that it truly is majestic. I love the chilled out vibe that this album oozes.

Favorite Tracks: Highly Suspicious, Amazed, Smokin' From Shooting

Santogold - Santogold (2008)

Santogold - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NMQ1DMGH

This album is an instant classic. Produced by heavyweight producers like, Switch and Diplo, this album is infectious. The first song "L.E.S. Artistes" is so catchy that I have listened to it on repeat as of late. The rest of the tracks don't disappoint either.

Favorite Tracks: L.E.S. Artistes, You'll Find A Way (Switch and Sinden Remix)
