What album should I buy right now?

I need some good tunes.

So you have an idea of what I like here is a guess at my top 10 in no particular order (except 1-2):

Pearl Jam
Conor Oberst
Daniel Johnston
My Morning Jacket
M. Ward
Led Zeppelin
The Killers
Sleater-Kinney
The Beatles
U2

I already have all or most from the listed artists above and I'm not looking for recommendations from the list. But I'm buying an album within the hour and would love some help on what to try out.

Thanks

    Based on that you should have the Monsters of Folk...

    If you like Queens of The Stone Age, check out Them Crooked Vultures.
    If there were no Angels would there be no sin?

    Them Crooked Vultures
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    i really got screwed this year. last year had so many fantastic new albums, but this year i was completely let down by the new black crowes and the new flaming lips... yet all their other fans seem to love both new albums!

    Haven't heard the new Lips...but I'd be blowign smoke all over this forum if I said I didn't like the new Crowes album...keep on listening soulsinging, in time I think BTF will find a place in your heart.

    Besides, you're in general a Crowes fan...which automatically prooves you're wise and have good taste. ;)
