Merkava:
-This is a Long Drive For Someone With Nothing to Think About
-Modest Mouse
-Indie Rock
-1996
-Like your driving down a highway on a long road trip, with all of the ups and downs that come along with it
-Fugazi, Pavement, Built to Spill
-This is Modest Mouse's debut, released in favor of Sad Happy Sucker (for very good reason). There is a lot of interplay between the musicians, showing off virtuosity of all members of the band, especially in the instrumental moments in tracks like Dramamine and Talkin' Shit About a Pretty Sunset. Some of MM's best and most beautiful moments are on this record.

-Emergency & I
-The Dismemberment Plan
-Though it falls mostly in the rock category, the Plan have always been known for their mix of various genres (electronica, hip-hop, jazz), especially on this album.
-1999
-Spastic, volatile, moody, solemn
-Can't really compare the band to anyone
-A brilliant album, like a tornado plowing through musical history and picking up whatever it can get its hands on. A lot of people in the Indie world herald this as one of the best Indie Rock albums of the 90's. Nothing sounds like it and nothing will sound like it for a long time.

-Source Tags & Codes
-...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead
-Indie Rock/Hardcore
-2002
-Epic, bombastic, harsh, beautiful
-Sonic Youth, Fugazi
-This is a beast of an album, yet AYWKUBTTOD find a way to make it beautiful and affecting. The last three songs are probably the most arresting 10 minutes of music I've ever heard.

-Album: Alligator
-Artist: The National
-Genre: Indie Rock
-Year: 2005
-Mood: Melancholy, reflective
-Other Bands this sounds like: Okkervil River, The Clientele, Silver Jews, maybe Wilco
-Most people find this album bleak, depressing, and even unoriginal at first.  Listen to it a few times, and you'll find it has a beauty that transcends description and separates it from other music.  I can tell you that the lyrics are poetic and creative, and the lead singer has a somewhat haunting voice.  Perfect music for listening to when deep in thought.




-Album: Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?
-Artist: The Unicorns
-Genre: Is freak-pop a genre?  If not, it should be.
-Year: 2003
-Mood: Weird, cheerful, energetic
-Other Bands this sounds like: The Flaming Lips, Architecture in Helsinki, Of Montreal, Animal Collective, Deerhoof, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
-A simultaneously fun, yet unique album.  Weird and dancable.  Catchy, yet far from radio friendly.  These 13 tracks have all been simultanously stuck in my head at once, and that's a good thing.

-Album: Seize The Time (2xCD)
-Artist: Fun-Da-Mental
-Genre: Hip-Hop
-Year: 1994
-Mood: Angry
-Other Bands this sounds like: Public Enemy/Chuck D
-This is the debut album of Fun-Da-Mental, which are/were(?) a hip-hop group from Great Britain. The lyrical themes include war, politics, Islam, racism, women's rights and so on. Very angry, very political and very good.
