I absolutely love:

The Shins - Oh, Inverted World

Everyone go out and buy/download/listen to it, somehow!

Neutral Milk Hotel - On Avery Island

"Sleeping Sun" by Nightwish.

[RAGING DORK]
I actually wish I could've had the DJ play this for my date and I at Senior Prom.

Wasn't "Get Over It" a pretty decent sized hit? MTV2 played the living hell out of it, at least, and I know it made the top 20 in Billboard's Modern Rock charts. Not sure where it peaked. I like the album, but it's a little too uneven for me.

My pick would be "Retreat From The Sun" by that dog., which is easily my favorite album of all time.

A couple other random recommendations:

"My Way or the Highway" by Tuscadero
"Twice Removed" by Sloan
"The Fox" by the Rondelles
"Because We Hate You" by the Young Fresh Fellows <small>(not too big on the Minus 5 part of the double album)</small>

O.A.R. - In Between Now And Then

Awesome! Another Jonah fan!

Chainsaw Kittens - Self Titled and Tyson Meades solo outing Motorcycle Childhood.

Ocean Machine - Funeral

Four Tet-Rounds

Elysian Fields. Basically any album by them, particularly Queen of the Meadow, or the new one that's only out in Europe (and I paid through the nose to get) called Dreams that Breathe Your Name. www.elysianmusic.com

Jennifer Charles of Lovage (which is also a great disc) fame has the most dreamy voice...

Mojave 3: "Some Kinda Angel" (my heart melts when I hear this)

Out of Tune

Eleni Mandell

She's got four albums out: Wishbone, Thrill, Snakebite and Country for True Lovers. Her two latest, Snakebite and Country..., are beautiful albums. Her first two are good, but I think she just hit it right on her latest ones.

Yep. I'd like to add "The Microphones", "Built To Spill" and "The Radar Bros.". All of their stuff is incredible.

Woah! I didn't know he had another project going. I kinda stopped paying attention during the Onelinedrawing period. As soon as I saw this though I thought "Johah from Far?" and looked up the band. I'll have to check this out now! Thanks!

Brother Ali - Shadows of the Sun
Atmosphere - GodlovesUgly

Moxy Fruvous "The Drinking Song"
Great Big Sea "Boston and St. Johns"

Yesssss and anything else made by Devin Townsend.

Yep, that's mine too.

Also: not "hidden", but
The Verve, Urban Hymns
Glen Phillips, Abulum

Polvo - Cor Crane Secret

Polvo - This Eclipse (EP)

Polvo - Celebrate the New Dark Age

"Spilt Milk," the 2nd album from Jellyfish. Especially the songs "Glutton of Sympathy" and "Bye, Bye, Bye."

"Misplaced Childhood," the 3rd album from Marillion.

One of the best alt. rock albums from the Seattle scene. It came out in 94.

They broke up in 96, then got back together and recorded "The Waiting Room" in 2002, and improved even more.
