Elliott Smith - From a Basement on the Hill (2004) > heroin-fueled indie-folk, posthumous release
Modest Mouse - Lonesome Crowded West (1997) > indie-rock that starts out incoherent but gets tamer as the album progresses. much superior to MM's later ouput
Low - I Could Live In Hope (1994) > super slow-paced minimalistic rock (slowcore)
Pixies - Surfer Rosa (1987) > the definitive "college rock," except it's good
Red House Painters - Down Colorful Hill (1992) > depressing, somewhat dreamy slowcore
LSD and the Search for God - LSD and the Search for God EP (2005) > shoegaze, heavily distorted guitars and backing female vocals
