    I always liked listening to Belle & Sebastion in the fall. Particularly If You're Feeling Sinister.

    Black Love - Afghan Whigs. Hard to explain why, but it just fits that vibe I get this time of year. If you're not familiar with the band, download the song Crime Scene part One - absolutely INCREDIBLE.

    These will get a lot of play this fall i'm thinking:

    Radiohead - Kid A & In Rainbows
    Ed Vedder - Into the Wild
    Band of Horses - Cease to Begin
    Do Make Say Think - Goodbye Enemy Airship....

    I think the new album by The Walkmen will be a great fall album.

    Otherwise, I really like folky/country influenced stuff for fall.

    Jacksonville City Nights by Ryan Adams & the Cardinals is the perfect for October.

    for the past 12 years, the first one I put in is 10,000 Maniacs - Our Time in Eden. Not real sure why however it puts me in the greatest mood.

    Always has been Alice In Chains in the fall for me... In particular: Jar of Flies, and the Self-Titled.

    That outro / bridge part of "Over Now" seems like it was made to sync with the wind and falling leaves.

    Awesome stuff.

    Toadies - Rubberneck, especially the Possum Kingdom video which has a mysterious Fall/Halloween look

    Can't think of much else

    Seconded.
    My favorite is REM's New Adventures in Hi-Fi though.
    Also: Gillian Welch - Time (The Revelator)
    Ron Sexsmith - Whereabouts
    Jeff Buckley - Grace
    Joy Division - Closer
    Natalie Merchant - Motherland

    Oh, this list could go on. It's my favorite time of year, and the time I find music most evocative.

    i play ten a lot in the winter, mainly because i always remember about being back in school when the days got darker we used to just sit around and listen to ten, usually the winter brings about a lot of radiohead seether and jeff buckley, and a little bit of the beatles here and there

    wow... beat me to it... was just listening to it yesterday while watching it rain all day... it was perfect... i love this weather

    and NIN like someone already mentioned... if i wanna go the more aggressive route :D

    and the second half of binaural is PERFECT fall music

    and "down on the upside"

    been spinning alot of ray lamontagne lately too... not sure if theres a fall correlation there...

    i guess i would say anything from the "grunge" movement just sounds more at home when its colder and rainier... thats why i love fall

    Oh yes, definitely Parachutes. I really think "Mer De Noms" by A Perfect Circle is a great fall album.. Guster is good pretty much all year.. "Takk..." by Siggy Rós is a great walking in the fall album... and some John Mayer as well.
    If I could, think I would give in.

    Ah yes, the quintessential Autumn song - and my favourite Cornell song ever :D

    Other choices for me are:

    REM - Automatic For The People
    Ryan Adams and The Cardinals - Cold Roses
    Arcade Fire - Funeral
    Pearl Jam - No Code
    Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska
