The Stooges,
Funhouse
Scummy and grimy protopunk at its best. Love this album so much, but haven't listened to it in awhile. Glad I dug it out.
The Dead Weather,
Sea Of Cowards
Twisted blues-rock with nonsense lyrics in alternating mumbles and shrieks. Awesome, unique song structures with lots of frantic drumming and crazy guitarwork.
King Geedorah,
Take Me To Your Leader
MF Doom created an album by sampling old sci-fi and horror movies and having an insane amount of rappers contribute. This just bangs. A must listen for hip hop fans.
Toe,
For Long Tomorrow
Got this based on users here talking about it. Some awesome, jazzy math rock. A very fun album, with lots of piano, acoustic guitar, and even xylophone. Really great.
Johnny Cash,
American IV: The Man Comes Around
I really don't know anything about Johnny Cash, honestly. I don't really listen to country, maybe out of rebellion, considering everyone around me does. For some reason, though, I picked this up. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed it. It's a cover album, but Cash really makes all the covers seem meaningful and emotionally packed. Very good.
