I'm interested. Is it too late? I use Rateyourmusic, got a link in my signature. Here are five albums I love that I think might be outside of your area of expertise/comfort zone:
Descendents - Milo Goes to College
Windir - Arntor
Kaizers Orchestra - Ompa til Du Dør
Sunny Day Real Estate - Diary
The Cleaners From Venus - Midnight Cleaners
