The Indie & Alternative Recommendation Thread

BTown · 05-04-2010, 03:10 PM

Alright so recently I've been trying to broaden my horizons and have been trying to pick up some essential indie albums.

In the last week or so I've picked up
Beutiful Freak - Eels
In The Aeroplanee Over The Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
Summer In Abbadon - Pinback (Was not a fan)
Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone? - The Unicorns
Hissing Fauma, Are You Our Destroyer - Of Montreal
Self Titled - Liars
Self Titled - FIlm School
And I've always had a strong liking towards Sebadoh, DInosaur Jr, and of course the Pixies.

Any other essentials or underrated albums I should look into?

Maybe you'll like one of their others? Try the debut if you're up for it.

Another essential: ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead - Source Tags & Codes

yeah I really wanted to like them, I'll definitely try the debut.

And yeah hopefully the tickets won't be to much for the flaming lips if I do end up liking them.

Speaking of The Flaming Lips, if all goes according to plan, I should be checking them out in Houston the weekend before my 21st birthday along with Stars and Ra Ra Riot! I'm ****ing stoked.

For Emma, Forever Ago by Bon Iver. I literally have listened to this album for hours straight, and have never tired of it. Its an acoustic/folk feel, and its pure bliss.
