I did some updating to the old list, expanding and shuffling it around, as I've listened to MANY new albums since I made that list. (I love the internet.) Here's the new and improved list.

1.Big Wreck - The Pleasure And The Greed
2.Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News
3.The Smalls - Waste + Tragedy
4.I Mother Earth - Blue Green Orange
5.Greg MacPherson - Balanced On A Pin
6.The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
7.Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand
8.System Of A Down - Toxicity
9.Ben Folds Five - Whatever And Ever Amen
10.Pearl Jam - Vs.
11.Our Lady Peace - Naveed
12.The Watchmen - Silent Radar
13.Faith No More - Angel Dust
14.Weezer - Weezer (Blue Album)
15.Crash Test Dummies - God Shuffled His Feet
16.Nickelback - The State
17.Nirvana - Nevermind
18.Barenaked Ladies - Gordon
*Arctic Monkey - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
*Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium


*These albums are for certain among the top 20 I've heard, but I'll need some distance before I can acurately rank them. Regardless, they are awesome.
