What would you recommend outside this list, and heartily endorse on the list?

I'm pretty damn hip and with it. Out of thirty there were five artists that I knew about prior to 2+2, and another 3 or so that I have heard about here. I hear Led Zeppelin has some albums out...

I am 30 years old, married, and hopelessly unhip. Which of these albums will I enjoy?

SL__72 · #4 10-18-2005, 01:47 PM

The first one pretty much anyone could enjoy.

Also, from that list I really like:
Mezmerize by System Of A Down
I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning by Bright Eyes
Late Registration by Kanye West
Takk... by Sigur Rós

...and thats all I own.

Reviews of this list and additions please. I want new music, and we haven't had one of these in a while.

Wow, thats crazy. I was just going to make a post about "Z" by My Morning Jacket today. I've been listening to this album for a little over a week and love it. I might be influenced by the fact that they are one of my favorite bands...

Anyway, its good to see it is getting some attention.

It's absolutely criminal that The National isn't on this list.

And I have to agree with Broken Social Scene not making it. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
