It's Blitz!
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Late 2000s indie classic. Karen O is an all-time great frontwoman. Album cover made me hungry.

Court And Spark
Joni Mitchell
This was an artist at the peak of her powers and fully conscious of it. It's dense, but everything feels like it fits. And the hooks are tight despite how fluid her songwriting can be. I could listen ten more times and keep finding new things I love. Best album from this list so far.

Here, My Dear
Marvin Gaye
This album contains some of Gaye's most personal and heartfelt lyrics. It's a shame the music is so comparatively underwhelming. Still, it's worthwhile as a snapshot of a tumultuous moment in Gaye's life and career.

Locust Abortion Technician
Butthole Surfers
This album doesn't sound fully realized, nor does it feel completely serious. But it's dark, immersive, irreverent, and probably inspired your favorite 90s band. Nothing to sneeze at, once you get over the weirdness.

The Beach Boys Today!
The Beach Boys
This album bridges the Beach Boys' early and later stages. The first half is youthful and upbeat, while the second is slow, anxious, and contemplative, foreshadowing the loss of innocence depicted on Pet Sounds. Overall, the individual songs don't feel like the band's strongest, but the album shows Brian Wilson moving in a more introspective, experimental direction.

Funeral
Arcade Fire
They were obviously inspired by Neutral Milk Hotel. But this music doesn't have the same intensity; it feels a bit watered down, and its enormous influence on 2000s indie music is somewhat of a tragedy. Still, there are some great moments, most notably "In the Backseat."

I see why Janis Joplin is highly regarded as a performer. There is a lot of raw humanity in these vocals. However, the 70s blues rock sound is very boring to me.
