Michele Branch-The Spirit Room

Die Ärzte - Runter mit den Spendierhosen, Unsichtbarer!

I enjoyed these albums (though I kinda liked Farin Urlaub's solo outing Endlich Urlaub! a bit better). The first of these is my favorite of all time.

Ah, Stadium Arcadium and Laugh Now, Cry Later were also quite good.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Thank you for your thoughts dannyshenanigan.

I must've had about 5 albums when growing up. Foreign music was sorta hard to come by.
Even now it's really hard to find rock albums here. And i mean anything other than Linkin Park/Green Day/etc. And even when you find them they are too expensive for people here to actually buy them. They do get cheaper with age tho. But you'll have to wait.
When we'll have a music/entertainment subforum we might be able to discuss each of these subjects more indepth.

Also
Noting some more albums:

Spoiler :

Tom McRae - Tom McRae (2000)
Spoon - Gimme Fiction (2005)

1. Coldplay - Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008)
I know what Heretic_Cata thinks about this pick, but this may well be my favourite album of all time. Even if it isn't the consensus, I think this is vastly better than Coldplay's earlier albums.

2. Sigur Rós - ( ) (2002)
I don't know if you have ever heard of them, but Sigur Rós is an Icelandic post-rock band. This album is one really different masterpiece. Sung in an imaginary language, every song is untitled and even the album title is not pronouncable. I would've wanted to put their album Ágætis byrjun on the list but apparently it was released in 1999. Anyway, you should give it a go as well; Viðrar vel til loftárása is one of the best songs ever made.

3. Mew - No More Stories... (2009)
As far as I'm concerned, Mew (as in the Danish band, not as in the Pokémon) isn't really known of outside Scandinavia. I didn't really listen their music before, but this album made me a fan. The album is alternative rock with some progressive and post-rock influences.

4. Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago (2008)
I found this American new folk album when I surfed through critics' albums-of-the-year lists and can say that it's really worth the critical acclaim.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0yaQ20dpWI (For Emma)

5. Jurassic 5 - Power in Numbers (2002)
My favourite hip-hop album of all time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXvPayu-X5A (A Day at the Races)

6. Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere (2006)
I bet most of you know this album, but anyway it's a quite unexpected collaboration between rapper Cee-Lo and producer Danger Mouse.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe500eIK1oA (Crazy)

7. Muse - Black Holes and Revelations (2006)
A bit different than their previous albums, I think this is their best though Origin of Symmetry is close.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mkIrvuU_zE (Knights of Cydonia)

8. Ratatat - LP3 (2008)
A curious mix of alternative rock and electronic music that I wouldn't have expected to come from the US.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAU4KO-mBaw (Shempi)

9. Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes (2008)
A really intriguing folk album with baroque pop influences.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrQRS40OKNE (White Winter Hymnal)

10. Snoop Dogg - Tha Blue Carpet Treatment (2006)
Yeah, it's very commercial but very good.
