London Calling
The Clash
Sony
Sony
Bursting at the seams with creative energy, the Clash's stunning 1979 double album more than made up for the artistic and commercial disappointment of its predecessor, 1978's tried-too-hard Give 'Em Enough Rope . With ex-Mott the Hoople producer...

Kid A
Radiohead
Capitol
Capitol
How is it that Kid A 's opening track, laden with an electronic vocal stuttering "bleh, bluh-bleh bleh bluh" is the most fascinating statement made in rock & roll this year? Because somehow, even when Radiohead blathers and blips nonsense, it's...

The Seldom Seen Kid
Elbow
Geffen Records
Geffen Records
There are few things in life quite so liberating as the opening track on an Elbow album--they're like airlocks between the plainness of the outside world and the elaborate melancholic heave-ho that you are likely about to submerge yourself in....

Urban Hymns
The Verve
Virgin Records Us
Virgin Records Us
Perhaps you weren't convinced of the Verve's staying power until recently. Before the release of Urban Hymns , skeptics wondered if they could ever match the explosive power of their earlier dedications. In 1995, most critics dismissed their...

OK Computer
Radiohead
Capitol Records
Capitol Records
Radiohead's third album got compared to Pink Floyd a lot when it came out, and its slow drama and conceptual sweep certainly put it in that category. OK Computer , though, is a complicated and difficult record: an album about the way machines...

Amnesiac
Radiohead
Capitol
Capitol
More song-driven and acoustic than Kid A , Radiohead's Amnesiac isn't quite "Kid B," but it is unquestionably cut from the same far-out cloth, as the band revels in fascinating quirks and abject nihilism. It's also the first time in Radiohead's...

Hail to the Thief
Radiohead
Capitol
Capitol
Filling the gulf between OK Computer 's epic progressive rock and Kid A 's skittering electronic theatrics, Hail to the Thief borrows equally from each. Its title implies that this will be a collection filled with songs of anger and dissent,...

Made of Bricks
Kate Nash
Interscope
Interscope
Thanks to a gaggle of loyal MySpace friends, Kate Nash skyrocketed to the top of the British charts just a year after penning her first song, so you might expect her first album to sound a bit cobbled together. In reality, it is a wildly exuberant,...

Pablo Honey
Radiohead
Capitol
Capitol
Before Radiohead became the biggest critics' darling since Pavement or Dr. Dre, they were just another pre-Oasis British band with some loose indie ties, trying to gain some cred. Loopy enough to name this moody, often battering debut album for a...

Loveless
My Bloody Valentine
Sire / London/Rhino
Sire / London/Rhino
My Bloody Valentine's entire career has been aiming toward the perfect guitar noise that Kevin Shields has in his head: a pure, warm, androgynous but deeply sexual rush of sound. Loveless is overwhelming, with Shields and Bilinda Butcher's guitars...
