Haven't bought anything yet. Still going over the list. Lots of good stuff tho!
I'll let y'all know when I do.

this thread has been read like a zillion times,

way to go, newbie!

Off the top of my head, here are my recommended five since 1990:

1. Spoon - A Series of Sneaks
2. Pedro The Lion - Control
3. Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway
4. Ted Leo/Pharmacists - The Tyranny of Distance
5. Beulah - Yoko

But wait...there's more!!!

I loves me some FT and el scorcho music.

I would add:

Aesop Rock - Labor Days
De La Soul - De La Soul is Dead
The Black Keys - Rubber Factor
The Constantines - Shine a Light
Diplo - Florida
Jean Grae - Attack of the Attacking things

I don’t think any of these were mentioned, five+five and I think they are must owns:

UK

Boo Radleys – Giant Steps 1993 This is a double album similar to the White Album, as it throws a bunch of things together and has some blazing guitar.
Blur – Parklife 1993 A very British album that they haven’t been able to top yet.
Muse – Origin Of Symmetry 2001 For your heavier side.
Verve – Urban Hymns 1997 Though I might like the one before better, this one is a classic and perfect for road trips.
Super Furry Animals – Guerrilla 1999 Just about the best band from the last 10 years and every album is different.

USA

Mercury Rev – Deserter’s Songs 1998 Some psychedelic music that makes me stomp my feet.
…Trail Of Dead – Source Tags & Codes 2002
Beck - Odelay 1996
My Morning Jacket – It Still Moves 2003
Mazzy Star – So Tonight I Might See 1993 HOPE!

Sorry, I ran out of time for some more one-liners.

It never ends.
