Just needed to update...

Ok, so it's been a crazy week, I just need it to end. I'm taking mid-terms right now, just figured I'd post a list of some of the albums that are getting me through all of this stress. Enjoy:

Daft Punk - Discovery
  • Yay for poppy techno!
Wilco - Yankee Foxtrot Hotel
  • I just got into Wilco a while back. This is their Magnus Opus, and it is well deserving of that title
The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin
  • Arguably the greatest album of all time.
Sum 41 - Underclass Hero (Hey, it's a good album!)
  • Don't dis them just because they're punk. It's a really good album.
The Postal Service - Give Up
  • An amazing album, a sort of more techno-based Death Cab
Ayreon - The Human Equation
  • Good if you like prog/classical rock operas...or even if you dont. It's pretty amazing.
Draco and the Malfoys - Draco and the Malfoys
  • Don't dis wizard rock until you've really given "99 Dementors" a listen
Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted
  • A close second for greatest album ever
Streetlight Manifesto - Keasby Nights
  • My friend and I just started a ska band. Streetlight is one of our main influences.
Muse - Absolution
  • Muse has redefined prog and brought it back into the mainstream
Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory
  • Another amazing prog album, but not as mainstream or poppy as Muse, but, if not as good, a million times better.
Okkervil River - The Stage Names
  • One of 2007s best indie albums

Sleep Tight and I recommend you listen to all of this. If you need other suggestions, try what I'm listening to right now.
