Okay, I've listened to The '59 Sound a million times, and I need something else in that style. Can you guys point me in the right direction?

1. Gaslight Anthem 2. The Who 3. The Doors 4. 3 5. Explosions In The Sky 6. The Pixies 7. The Verve 8. Iron & Wine 9. King Crimson 10. Bruce Springsteen Yeah. Pretty varied.

I envision this thread as a place to help people get started into music elitism. A place where wannabe hipsters come and learn what they should think is cool. And hopefully a place to get good music. Each post should contain an album that anyone who's just starting into music should listen to. Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted One of the classic indie albums of all time. Here's a summary: Two smart young college guys with a bunch of catchy, cryptic songs and a taste for peculiar sonics go into a studio with a showboating older drummer and come out with one of the definitive indie-rock albums. Beneath its coils of raw distortion and screaming-for-the-hell-of-it, Pavement's first full-length disc gets over on the strength of stellar songwriting and ingenious melodicism. Sometimes Steve Malkmus's sly, evocative word-games reveal genuine emotion ("Here"), and sometimes they just pay tribute to his favorite bands ("Conduit For Sale!" is a nod to the Fall), but these songs are unconventional in a way that set the convention for bands that came after them. --Douglas Wolk
