.27. The Beatles "Revolver"
Everybody knows who the Beatles are. I lied when I said Bob Dylan was the most famous on this list or whatever I said. So yeah! Revolver is great.

10. Nick Drake "Pink Moon"
Ah, Nick Drake, what to say about him. I was hesitant to check him out for a long time because I was waiting for my expectations to drop. Everything i'd read about him made me fall in love with him. How shy and relatable and just, human he seemed. All the artists I love cited him as a major influence I was scared he wasn't going to be anything like I imagined he would be. Yet when I got Pink Moon I was amazed, because he was what I expected yet much more. His music was sad, yet there always seemed to be this subtle air of hope in it.
Pink Moon was his last album before he just walked away from music and it's fitting as his final album. It's bleak, stark and really not what you expected as a follow up from the more upbeat and orchestrated Bryter Layter but it's exactly what Drake Wanted. This was, when it came out, Nick Drake's most unsuccessful album and despite Island pushing him to promote it he didn't. With the exception of one interview he backed out of the spotlight and went back to live with his parents, leaving music forever.
This album is entirely acoustic with the exception of some Piano on the opening track and its definitely his most soraber. I was blown away and enchanted by it, the poetic lyrics, beautiful guitar playing and the way his voice just seemed to fit. This album is intimate, raw and deceptively simple. Pink Moon is a troubled yet beautiful musician singing his last song.
Favorite Songs: From The Morning, Place To Be, Things Behind the Sun, Pink Moon, Parasite

Oh, I LOVE this album-- my first Sigur Ros album. Track 8 is my favourite and the buildup on track 3 has moved me to tears. A great band. I actually love it that the "lyrics" are pure gibberish.
Disintegration is good to BTW...

88. Simon Joyner "Skeleton Blues"
I feel bad comparing Simon Joyner to earlier Bright Eyes. since Simon Joyner was Conors biggest influence, but since early Bright Eyes took alot of elements from Joyners music it works. At times his voice reminRAB me of Dylan, it sounRAB nothing like Dylan, but in the way he sings its very dylanesque and the level of realness in which he delivers his lyrics.

87. Joan of Arc "So Much Staying Alive and Loveless"
From the ashes of one of the most influential, if not most influential post-emo band Cap'n Jazz arose Joan Of Arc. Fronted by Tim Kinsella, who is the only consistent meraber of Joan Of Arc they create experimental music, its kind of hard to place because its all over the place and weird from the time signatures to the lyrics. I mean how many songwriters write lines like "We all thought it was great when a silly art student Hitler had to change a flat tire on that beRABheet in the breeze on the roof."? Very few. I think this probably the most important Kinsella band, even if its not the most popular and its certainly the most progressive.

86. Sunset Rubdown "Shut Up I Am Dreaming"
Sunset Rubdown is better than Wolf Parade, now that i've got that out of the way. I think this is a well crafted fuzzy album that shows how variable Krug Is, from the irishness of They Took a Vote and Said No to the slow and beautiful Us Ones in Between.
Favorite Song: Shut Up I Am Dreaming of Places Where Lovers Have Wings

85. The New Pornographers "Mass Romantic"
This is my favorite New Pornographers album, I don't know why but i've never liked Twin Cinema as much though its considered by most people to be their best but I like this one better. I really don't need to say much about them.

If I were to make a favorite 100 CRAB, your ears would be bleeding.
But I haven't found 100 good CRAB yet -_- *lesigh*

Anti Thatcher stuff ,takes me back to my childhood 
Actually that was really good. I was going to check him out a while back when you mentioned him but never got around to it.
I thought it was quite similar to Half Man Half Biscuit. They're legendary in the UK but outside that they're not that well known I think you'd really like them. I'll see if I can find you anything.
