Many thanks to JH for reccomending it, I've been spinning it for awhile and it just gets better. It's very mature album, and takes a few lstens to understand, but after that you will love it.
Highlights: Stars, Never Be The Same,Shine

Great album, definetly a highlight of post-rock music. And I just need to say for being only 13/14 or whatever you are, you have such a diverse taste in music! I'm looking forward to this list.

Good list so far, I don't know if I could ever come up with 100 albums, not to mention put them in order. We'll see if you manage to finish though...

92.Costello Music-The Fratellis

I got this album a long time ago, and had no idea it would get so big. It deserves all of that hype though, because it's no tjust some U.K. indie bore. It's really compelling feel-good music, with the occasional yet equally amazing ballad-type. It's a great party album, but it also has that lovey message that makes you read between the line to get the point each track is trying to get across.
Highlights: For The Girl, Ole Black N' Blue Eyes, Vince The Loveable Stoner

91.Cansei De Der Sexy-CSS

This album is so different. I love it because I don't have another album like it. It's poppy, it's fun, it's electro. There's really nothing to get about this album, it's just fun, pure and simple. It definatley has a few filler tracks, but other then that there aren't any misses on this album, it's just great.
Highlights: Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above, Art Bitch, Superafim

90.Bleed American-Jimmy Eat World

This album kicks ass. Yes it's been done before, and yes it's been done better, but when you're listening to it, none of that matters. It really shows off what JEW are capable of, and is easily their best work. I never thought of them as a very good band until I heard this album, they were just okay, if you feel the same way, get this album, it will change your opinion completley.
Highlights: Bleed American, Sweetness, The Authority Song

89.Take Offs and Landings-Rilo Kiley

I have to thank WWWP for this one. It's one amazing album, and I don't want to sound stupid, but it's really one of the few indie-ish albums I REALLY like. It has some misses, but that doesn't take away from all the hits. I've always liked the whole female and male duet vocals in albums likethis, and it's easy to do it wrong, but thi album definatley does it right. Jenny Lewis is an amazing singer and everyone in that band no what they're doing.
Highlights: Wires and Waves, August, Plane Crash In C

A sad, sad blight on the name Costello this.

Otherwise a pretty interesting list. Keep 'em coming.

I think you mean Clarity. Good list so far, especially considering your age. I just turned 15 so it's nice to know that I'm not the youngest one here .

84.Straight Outta Compton-N.W.A

I was trying to get into more rap, and I already had the 2pac and Biggie albums. I decided I really liked the old skool stuff and decided I'd try a classic. What a great decision that was? This album really shaped my taste in hip-hop, and that's because it's so great. Combining great background beats which were pretty awesome for that time plus some interestingly contreversial lyrics, and even though a lot of times it just sounded like the were stringing cuss words together, but that's okay because sometimes that's all great music is.
Highlights: Straight Outta Compton, Parental Discretion iz Advised, I Ain't The 1

83.American Football-American Football

At a time I was obsessed with Algernon Cadwallader(they'll come up later in the list), and I wanted to find other bands like them, this is what I got through last.fm. They're not really the same at all, but this is a great freaking album. It's straight alternative, with a little bit of emo and indie thrown in there for good measure. They're a very talented band and their instrumentation really surpassed my excpectations. The only reason this is so low is because Ihaven't actually listened to it that much, but it needs to be included. I reccomend this album to anyone who likes emo or indie music because you'll definatley hear it in here.
Highlights: The Summer Ends, Honestly, I'll See You When We're Both Not So Emotional
82.We Love You-Semi Precious Weapons

I'll admit it, I came across this ban watching MTV. That should not discourage people from listening to it. This is glam/garage rock at it's best. Their frontman, dubbed "The Bisexual Giant" has one of the most unique voices I've ever heard, and it carries throughout the whole album, plus it has sme of the best bass playing in an album that's come out in the last few years. There's great party tracks, and ballads that you just want to sit down and sing aong to, or belt out in the shower. Definatley check this out.
Highights: Semi Precious Weapons, Jesus, Time Jones
81.Fur and Gold-Bat for Lashes

Bat For Lashes is one of the best female vocalists evar. Period. She can belt out or whisper, both are all over this album, and it always sounds great. I don't have much else to say about this album, you have to listen to it to understand the originality she puts in to here music. PM's are welcome.
Highlights: Trophy, Sad Eyes, Sarah

[ProggyMan]

I know it's cliche and all but **** Tha Police is essential.

80.Illuminate-Lydia

I'm sure I've talked about this band before on here, but they're just that great. This is one of the many great album I found on my brother's iTunes. Very ambient, very indie. Definatley dac music. It's extemely soothing stuff with out being all post-rock. The light co-ed vocals throughout the album add to the extemely calming effect of the album. Great for listening to at night, when trying to fall asleep, not to say it's boring by any means though.
Highlights:A fine Evening For a Rogue, Hospital, I Woke Up Near The Sea

79.Alright, Still-Lily Allen

I'm into my fair share of female vocalists, and thoug ha lot of it is indie stuff, some of my guiltier pleasures would consist of pop phenom's like Lily Allen. I don't see what's not to like about a popstar wiht a little bite. Though he rmusic at first seems straight up bubblegum, upon further listening one could find that Allen definatley has some fight to her. Sometimes it is even downright hilarious that her charming, girly melodies are riddeled with such devilishly innapropriate lyrics. A great find for anyone who just likes fun music.
Highlights:Smile, Everything's Just Wonderful, Knock Em' Out

78.American Water-Silver Jews

NO first listen, I found this album intolerabley boring. The guy's monotone voice is definatley not what I want to hear allthe time. But sometimes I just want to chil and listen to music that I can sing along to without looking stupid. An album me and my friends play a lout when we're just hanging out. Not really something to an physical activity with, but unlike my original assumption, by no means boring. Plus it has some of the best bass grooves I've heard.
Highlights:Random Rules, Blue Arrangements, Wild Kindness

77.Hot Fuss-The Killers

One of the first band's I ever liked tha twasn't green day-esque, The Killers wil lalways be one of my nostalgia bands. Almost every song no this album brings back memories. From jamming to "Mr. Brightside" when I thought about my former crush, Megan, to "All These Things I've Done" helping me through the sad times. I'm not sure what this album is classified as, probably alternative which I would agree with as the guitar hooks are very reminiscent of bands liek the acadmey is, but also fused with vocals and melodies that are heavily influenced by Interpol and such. One of the only albums, that's typically considered "juvenile rock" that I've seen othe rMBers listen to, and if you check this out you'll understand why.
Highlights:Mr. Brightside, Andy you're a star, All tHese things That I've Done

You just lost a ****load of cool points dude.

Overall good list but I absolutely fecking hate Rilo Kiley and the Fratellis. The Ulrich Schnauss record looks good.

[Kirby]

I liked that CSS album.

Let's Make Love and Listen To Death From Above came on my Zune 30, and I loved it.
