Apples In Stereo -- Her Wallpaper Reverie

  A strangely song interluded filled album with less actual tracks than snippets, nevertheless it's 90's indie version of the Beatles meet the Beach Boys is nothing short of brilliant!

Guided By Voices -- Under The Bushes Under The Stars

  

  Holy cow did I ever hate this grunge stereotyped, over produced, piece of crap, by the usually mega awesome Guided By Voices.  I couldn't even listen to the whole album, it's unbearablility was so great I had to put on Bee Thousands right away to save face!

Lou Reed -- Berlin

  Mostly over the top, Bob Ezrin produced, super over-indulged, mega 70's classic rock sounding, concept album Berlin, can be a hard pill to swallow at times, but it's moments of brilliance make it worth every minute -- honourable mention going to the killer flipside!

Yo La Tengo -- Fakebook

  Comprised mostly of cover songs, considered a departure of their regular sound, but I think they somehow invadvertently invented cutesy indie folk way before such a genre was even being thought of ... and making fun of Facebook a decade early -- how hip are these guys!!??

The Cure -- The Head On The Door

  This album marks the bridge between the new wave rock band and the somewhat cheery synth group, that they would become, funny, the more and more I listen to this one, the more I love it!  It has all the facets of what represents the Cure -- from goth to punk to pop!

Folk Implosion -- Dare To Be Surprised

  A beat driven nerdy noise indie rock album, very far from the usual Lou Barlow sound, it's got a kinda big city feel, probably why the Folk Implosion was the perfect backdrop for the New York centric film Kids.

Primal Scream -- Screamadelica

  A sort of Stonesy style Spacemen 3 minimalist indie rock album, I'm sure that has nothing to do with Jimmy Miller producing some of the tracks, mixed with Happy Mondays-esque house grooves, definitely perfect for sunny day fun or when you are psychedelically out of it!
