I hated it when I first heard it. My husband made me listen to it on the drive to and from Chicago and by the time I got home I loved it.

How come everytime there is a list of Bands and Albums people try and post groups and albums that nobody has ever heard of just so they can try and pull of the "I am sophisticated in my music selection" deal. They are the same people that go spend 5 dollars per album more at a crappy independent store than at best buy for no reason.
I used to work at a live band venue and used to try and pull this off till I realized I was stupid and nobody ever know what the hell I was talking about.
Long live the U.S. Bombs. Duane Peters rules.

I don't know if that is directed at me or not but I can give you my last.fm id. It would probably come close to reflecting my list. Are there even indie music stores around here?
Aerosmith
Homers if it is still open.
Best Buy? You need to shop Amazon if you are still paying $13-$14 for a CD at Best Buy.
Yeah, I think most people who are into indie music get it online - which is how a large portion of the music-buying public overall gets their music.
There are a small portion of people who get into indie music because of pretension, but usually it's because they have niche or offbeat music tastes, or realize that a lot of amazing bands out there never make it to 107.5.
Wow... I couldn't name one album that came out this year. I didn't even know half the bands some of you guys named.
I guess no one listed any country albums so that is probably the reason.
I don't know if I feel old (only 30) since I don't know any of these albums or happy my musical taste starts and ends with country.

You could classify half of Al's list as country...fer sher.
Crappy independent music stores vs Best Buy? You are what's wrong with America.
Hactually, real indie kids get thier fix buying DIRECTLY from the bands after shows. Cred ++++
Poker Face is one of the best songs of last year and it was ALL OVER 107.5...just sayin.
Ummmmmm Which ones??? I see maybe rockabilly or whatever that crap is called, but I'm not seeing country.
Then its been wrong since the start of America. People always gravitate to what is cheap and convenient. I love small time indie stores, but they will dissapear as digital media becomes the only media. I like to collect album art and still buy vinyl of some bands that continue to release on it, but its going to be very hard to find.
yeah I used to tell people the same thing. Then I realized that if I don't buy it directly from the band that I could get it online or at best buy cheaper. Indie music stores overcharge and are basically a rip off disguised as a something they are not.
Thus making your quest all the more rewarding...let those fools have thier 92kbps **** quality songs....
You can't take the stems and seeds out of your bag on top of an Mp3.
The only ones that I've bothered getting are:
The Dead Weather
Alice in Chains
Dave Matthews
It's been awhile since DMB has put out a decent album but it was worth it. Hopefully AIC does more like this album.
