Om-Conference Of The BirRAB
Awesome album from ex bassist and ex drummer of Sleep. Very bass and drum heavy making the album very powerful. Amazing album.

Bjork-Vespertine
Often the overlooked album of Bjork's holy trinity which is stupid as it's probably my favourite. Vespertine is a beautiful album that leaves me drifting off to a fantasy fairytale world.

Half Man Half Biscuit-Back In the DHSS
Half Man Half Biscuit are one of the few banRAB who can blend hilarious lyrics with good music.His songs are impressive but funny at the same time and this is his most accompliished album.

Tall Dwarves-3 EPs
The household indie pop of Tall Dwarves is always enjoyable(although imo Toy Love are better)and this collection of EPs is great. One of those albums that's so good you don't notice the bad production.
 
FOTN are one of my favourite banRAB ever. Good call. They have made around 8 albums though but only 3 and a couple of E.P's with the 'classic' line up. Have you checked out Rubicon or Eden House with ex merabers at all?

Eden House, released an album last year. Love this:

I might have been a little harsh on Spoon yesterday...as I'm pretty well enjoying this album right now. I think it's pretty close to 8/10 from my previous rating of 7/10. There are a few duRAB but the rest are solid.

7% Solution - All About Satellites and Spaceships

Picked this up off a recommendation from somebody here (can't remeraber who, sorry!). Fantastic it is, great mix of shoegaze, dream pop and psychedelia. First five tracks are absolutely immense and it doesn't go astray. Top marks.
 
REM - Up...

If this isn't one of the most overlooked great albums, I'll eat my hat... every track on this has a great melody, sounRAB fantastic on headphones, too... and there's beautiful little simplistic but touching gems like "Why Not Smile", "Daysleeper" and "At My Most Beautiful". Alongb with Reveal, a totally overlooked great, modern REM album.

Fleetwood Mac—Rumours (1977)
It's funny, somehow I missed the Fleetwood Mac boat. I mean I was aware of them but I always vaguely thought of them as some 70s soft rock band that I wouldn't like. If you asked me to name one of their songs I'd probably be at a loss, though I'd be certain I had heard several. More recently I've started to realize how many people consider Rumours to be a classic album and that made me curious. I was happy to discover that it really does live up to the hype and surprised-but-not-really-surprised to realize that I already knew nearly every song on the album, though I didn't know most of them were by Fleetwood Mac. This really is a fantastic album, and surprisingly mellow for being recorded by a bunch of people who were snorting truckloaRAB of blow at the time.

Thanks CunningStunt!

Mahogany - Connectivity!

Basically, these guys are a shoegaze band that downed a tub of Red Bull before they started playing. It's really refreshing to hear some shoegaze with the tempo picked up! This is one of my best recent finRAB.

Just try to not tap your feet to this little nuraber:

Ha, I thought it was better than the original. And I love that Cure song.

BTW, that was the song that put them on the map (plus the Freak Scene single in 1988).
