5 Essential Indie albums

Alright, can someone explain NMH to me? A while ago, I read an interview with Jesse Lacey (singer/songwriter of Brand New) who cited that In the Aeroplane was one of his central influences in making music. So I acquired the album and gave it a listen, and wrote it off as simply not that good.

Recently, I've start browsing these forums on a daily basis and I see this specific album being mentioned quite frequently. Apparently, it's one of the best indie albums ever. I couldn't believe it, so I gave it another listen.

Still not good.

Another listen.

Still not good. Do I just lack the proper appreciation for music? Is something wrong with me? I find NMH to be poorly composed and produced, boring, and worst of all, the singer is quite terrible. Some lyrics are profound and interesting, but then I hear "Semen stains the mountaintops" repeated over and over...
