Surprise Idlewild album! Such a great band! American English is probably my favorite from that one.

Great chart. I share many of the same tastes. If I were to give you some recommendations they would be Kings of Leon's first three albums (their 3 best to me) and My Morning Jacket's albums Z & Evil Urges.

Awesome chart. Between Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, and The Shins this is just about my favorite chart I've seen so far. Great taste.
