1	Good News for People Who Love Bad News (2004) more music like this by Modest Mouse add to wishlist 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 £3.64! new only from £7.77!
2	Siamese Dream (1993) more music like this by Smashing Pumpkins add to wishlist While Gish had placed the Smashing Pumpkins on the "most promising artist" list for many, troubles were threatening to break the band apart. Singer/guitarist/leader Billy Corgan was battling a severe case of writer's block and was in a deep state of depression brought on by a relationship in turmoil; drummer Jimmy Chamberlin was addicted to hard ... see all copies from £3.74! new only from £8.86!
3	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 £3.28! new only from £7.08!
4	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 £3.11! new only from £7.49!
5	Bossanova (1990) more music like this by Pixies add to wishlist When Bossanova arrived in 1990, it reflected the exhaustion the Pixies felt after Doolittle's enormous success: For the first time, the band seems to be running out of ideas. Tellingly, Kim Deal contributes no songs, having formed the Breeders to give her work an outlet; that summer, their debut Pod won a warmer response than Bossanova received. ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £7.61!
6	Whip It On (2002) more music like this by The Raveonettes add to wishlist Danish duo the Raveonettes strike a slick pose on their debut EP, Whip It On. It's a slinky post-punk mix recorded entirely in B-flat minor while each song thrives on only three chords. Minimalist and stylish, Whip It On doesn't go for the grandiosity of the Strokes and the White Stripes. The Raveonettes are ambitious in their own way, and it ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £3.11!
7	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 £4.94! new only from £7.83!
8	Doolittle (1989) more music like this by Pixies add to wishlist After 1988's brilliant but abrasive Surfer Rosa, the Pixies' sound couldn't get much more extreme. Their Elektra debut, Doolittle, reins in the noise in favor of pop songcraft and accessibility. Producer Gil Norton's sonic sheen adds some polish, but Black Francis' tighter songwriting focuses the group's attack. Doolittle's most ferocious moments, ... see all copies from £6.85! new only from £9.04!
9	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 £3.74! new only from £5.96!
10	Painful (1993) more music like this by Yo La Tengo add to wishlist Yo La Tengo has released several fine albums before, but only Painful encapsulates their folky guitar experimentalism perfectly. Alternating between dreamy Velvet Underground-style ballads and raving, Sonic Youth guitar squalls, Painful also finds the group improving their songwriting skills immeasurably. Before, they relied on soundscapes; now, ... see all copies from £4.36! new only from £8.04!
11	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 £4.34! new only from £5.92!
12	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 £6.78! new only from £6.78!
13	Wave of Mutilation: The Best of Pixies (2004) more music like this by Pixies add to wishlist 4AD tries, tries again with Wave of Mutilation: The Best of the Pixies, the second Pixies best-of they've released since the band broke up in 1992 and the companion piece to the long-awaited, simultaneously released DVD Pixies. Lessons have been learned from 1997's half-baked Death to the Pixies: this compilation's track listing is in more or less ... see all copies from £8.35! new only from £9.57!
14	And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out (2000) more music like this by Yo La Tengo add to wishlist After years as one of indie rock's standard-bearing groups, Yo La Tengo surpasses itself with And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out. A culturally literate, emotionally rich album, on songs like "Let's Save Tony Orlando's House," "The Crying of Lot G," and "The Last Days of Disco," it alludes to The Simpsons, enigmatic author Thomas Pynchon and ... see all copies from £3.91! new only from £8.04!
15	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 £5.92! new only from £5.92!
16	Zaireeka (1997) more music like this by The Flaming Lips add to wishlist A combination of the words "Zaire" and "Eureka," Zaireeka is a term coined by Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne symbolizing the fusion of anarchy and genius. It's a perfect title; Zaireeka is the culmination of the Lips' helter-skelter brilliance. Pushing the concept of interactive listening into new realms of possibility, the work extends Coyne's ... see all copies from £12.67! new only from £12.67!
17	Take Them On, On Your Own (2003) more music like this by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club add to wishlist Black Rebel Motorcycle Club made an impressive debut in 2001, taking both America and England by surprise while alternative metal ruled the charts. Their psychedelic/space rock/glam-colored blend was hungry to give rock a new face. Three years later and garage rock still reviving the late-'90s pop-soaked scene, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club aims to ... see all copies from £7.97! new only from £7.97!
18	The Moon & Antarctica [Bonus Tracks] (2000) more music like this by Modest Mouse add to wishlist 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 £4.68! new only from £6.91!
19	Everywhere and His Nasty Parlor Tricks (2001) more music like this by Modest Mouse add to wishlist see all copies from £3.74! new only from £5.75!
20	The Chain Gang of Love (2003) more music like this by The Raveonettes add to wishlist The Raveonettes barely gave listeners a glimpse of their cinematic brilliance with their Whip It On EP. One listen to their first studio full-length, The Chain Gang of Love, and you'll know it immediately. The crash and charm of this 13-song set exceeds any kind of glorious expectations laid out at the beginning, and the Raveonettes probably want ... see all copies from £5.61! new only from £5.61!
21	I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One (1997) more music like this by Yo La Tengo add to wishlist Functioning as a virtual catalog of mid-'90s indie rock trends, I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One is an astonishing tour de force from Yo La Tengo, establishing their deep talents as songwriters and musicians. Although the album may run a little long for some tastes, there are very few throwaways on the record -- even the shoegazer cover of ... see all copies from £4.99! new only from £8.05!
22	Surfer Rosa (1988) more music like this by Pixies add to wishlist When Rough Trade reissued the Pixies' seminal full-length debut album, Surfer Rosa, on CD, they added the terrific mini-album Come on Pilgrim as a bonus. While it's nice to have these two records on one disc, the sequencing of Come on Pilgrim after Surfer Rosa is a little disconcerting, since the two albums each have distinctive sounds that clash ... see all copies from £11.22! new only from £11.45!
23	We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank (2007) more music like this by Modest Mouse add to wishlist Now that Modest Mouse have fully established themselves as a major-label indie rock band -- no longer an oxymoron! -- with the success of 2004's Good News for People Who Love Bad News (though they had actually been on Sony, through Epic, since 2000's The Moon & Antarctica), they face the difficult task of trying to follow up a mainstream hit while ... see all copies from £6.91! new only from £6.91!
24	Wowee Zowee: Sordid Sentinels Edition (2006) more music like this by Pavement add to wishlist 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 £5.40! new only from £11.44!
25	Lonesome Crowded West (1997) more music like this by Modest Mouse add to wishlist 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 £7.94! new only from £7.94!
