Amos Lee "Self Titled" Amos Lee is a blues, folk singer former elemenatry teacher turned singer from here in Philadelphia and his music is very soulful, raw, simple, and he has an amazing voice. Album is terrific beginning to end.
Boy Hits Car "The Passage" Great band from Los Angeles hard full sound with a lot of different sounds from acoustic, bass, and even a flute. Definately check out tracks, "Windswept", "Everything" "Beneath the seas bed" "Escape the World" to name a few.

The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel

Pearl & Brass - The Indian Tower - Sabbath meets ZZ Top
Comets On Fire - Avatar - modern acid rock with jazz influences and very fuzzed out guitars
Deconstruction - self titiled - post Jane's Addiction project from Eric Avery and Dave Navarro. Awesome stuff, but very different from Jane's
I second the Miles Davis reccomendation from earlier. In the jazz realm, I also highly reccommend Coltrane's A Love Supreme, and Miles' Jack Johnson soundtrack. Also the Inner Mounting Flame by the Mahavishnu Orchestra - Jazz Rock Fusion with unbelievable guitar work from John McLaughlin. Seriously, any one who's a guitar nut should get as much McLaughlin stuff as possible.
....keeping in mind that this list was compiled in 2000 (have a feeling some of the new Canadian indie rock sensations would appear if it was made today)
10) the Tragically Hip - Fully Completely
9) Sloan - One Chord To Another
8) Rush - Moving Pictures
7) Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstacy
6) the Lowest of the Low - Shakespeare....My Butt
5) Rheostatics - Melville
4) Rheostatics - Whale Music
3) Sloan - Twice Removed
2) Neil Young - Harvest
1) Joni Mitchell - Blue
.....some other highlights (IMO)
12) Neil Young - After The Goldrush
13) the Tragically Hip - Day For Night
21) Sloan - Smeared
33) Sloan - Navy Blues
37) Eric's Trip - Love Tara
40) Sianspheric - Somnium
44) Godspeed you black emperor - Slow Riot For Zero Kanada
46) Godspeed you black emperor - f#a#
after reading your response to my RHEOSTATICS - WHALE MUSIC suggestion (post #21 in this thread) re. the list of greatest Canadian albums of all time ("Who made tht list")..... i'm not sure if you actually meant who came up with it (that would be - Chart Magazine) OR what bands were on it.....anyways if I just supplied you with a bunch of superfluous information - I apologize
In my world everyone is a pony,
and they all eat rainbows and pooh butterflies!
Matthew Good gets no respect around here, you all need to buy "Beautiful Midnight" by the Matthew Good Band and then you can move on to "Underdogs" and "Audio of Being". Three of my favorite records.
Which came first,
the bad idea or me befallen by it?
Bill Frisell & Petra Haden ~ Self titled
Bjork ~ Medulla
Butthole Surfers ~ Independent Worm Saloon
Calexico and Iron & Wine ~ In the Reins
Drams ~ Jubilee Dive
Jenny Lewis & The Watson Twins ~ Rabbit Fur Coat
Flaming Lips ~ Clouds Taste Metallic
Los Lobos ~ Kiko
Tom Waits ~ Franks Wild Years
Pogues ~ If I Should Fall From Grace with God
Lucinda Williams ~ Essence
"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.

Where it takes me
I'll hold the pain
Release me

Argentinian Rock, Luis Alberto Spinetta...to me, the best album on earth
are you the guy that I recommended this album to.....if so - i'm glad you're enjoying it
i LOVE their new album - never heard this one.....i'll have to check it out ASAP
and they all eat rainbows and pooh butterflies!
Yes I am. I am thoroughly enjoying it, one of the better records I've heard this year. Thanks for the recommendation.
I Am the Fun Blame Monster is their first record. Not as good as Friend and Foe, but a must listen if you like the new one.
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
yes - "close to the edge" (older)
neurosis - "times of grace" (newer)
Iron & Wine - Woman King (only a 6 song EP but each one is brilliant)
