Built to Spill: Ultimate Alternative Wavers (1993)
This honestly isn't bad - I was expecting something a lot more like There's Nothing Wrong with Love, but instead it sounds more like Perfect From Now On and Keep it Like a Secret, albeit with worse songwriting and grungier guitar. It pales in comparison to those two albums - they are classics and it is decidedly not - but it's still got some pretty good songs ("Shameful Dread" in particular is awesome) and it's interesting to hear what Built to Spill sounded like when they were still sort of trying to sound like other bands.

New Bomb Turks: !!Destroy-Oh-Boy!! (1993)
This is pretty killer. Great punk album.
