"My number one favorite album of all time, by my number one favorite band of all time. This was the one that started it all for me. It introduced me to TMBG, as well as cool music in general."
"Jim's Big Ego is the brainchild of Boston based musical genius Jim Infantino. This C.D. is a great introduction to his strange and brilliant music. You'll be hooked from the moment you press play."
"The first of 2 albums by this band (both great, hard to choose). They have such a cool sound! If I had to describe it somehow, I guess I'd say Radiohead with a harder edge. Very spacey, very cool."
"It was hard to choose my favorite of Soul Coughing's 3 wonderfully funky and cool albums, but I did it. This one features the hit Super Bon Bon, which is a minor track compared to the rest of it."
"Geggy Tah is certainly best known for their song Whoever You Are, but if you go get Into The Oh, their most recent and best release, you'll realize that they're not your average "one hit wonders.""
"The band's only major label release. I guess they were dropped since the album really didn't go anywhere. A shame, because it's excellent. Some songs will make you laugh, some will get you all misty."
"The last album Cake released before all the members started dropping like flys. The releases that followed Fashion Nugget are good, but the original Cake line-up just can't be topped. They rocked."
"Toadies just recently broke up, and that really sucks. They were so good. Too bad they only got 2 albums out. Rubberneck features the hit Possum Kingdom (better known as that "Do you wanna die?" song)"
"Another band that disbanded not too long ago. Ben Folds is an amazing talent, and he really shines on this album. Some say there's too many slow songs on it, but I'm a sucker for a good ballad!"
"Nerf Herder is immature, juvenile, crude - but I love 'em! I guess you could say they play "pop/punk," a style made popular by bands like Blink 182, but Nerf Herder does it 10 times better."
"Guster is not your average pop/rock band, especially when it comes to the kick-ass percussive stylings of Brian "El Conguero" Rosenworcel. They're much better than your basic Matchbox 20's."
"I have to mention how amazing a bass player Les Claypool is. It's just a fact. But there's more to Primus than just Les. Antipop is their most focused and least weird album. Good stuff."
"I love this album! How can one deny their love for classic tracks like Lump, Peaches, Dune Buggy... this is a hilarious and thoroughly enjoyable album. Also their 1st and most commercially successful."
"I have to admit that I wasn't too satisfied with Sloan's other albums. Which is odd considering how much I like this one. It's certainly worth paying the import price for it."
"I was disappointed with The Getaway People's 2nd album, but their 1st, self-titled release is fantastic. Buy it, and if you're not inclined to buy their 2nd, don't worry - you're not missing much."
"Easily the oddest choice on my list. It just doesn't fit in with the others. Tin Hat Trio doesn't need things like drums or bass or vocals. Just an acoustic guitar, violin and accordion. Oh yeah!"
"Harvey Danger will probably never repeat the success of Flagpole Sitta, and will forever be known as one hit wonders. But they're so much more than that! I can't stress this enough! Give 'em a chance!"
"A strange band from Mexico. They're kinda' like rap/R&B/jazz/rock - everything. Also, half their stuff is in Spanish! Well, I don't have to understand what their saying to love their music!"
"I've always liked Phantom Planet, but lately I've been into them more than usual. They're one of the most talented and entertaining bands around, and I really think they're gonna' be big!"
"I don't know much about this band, except that they released this one great album, and then kinda disappeared. But I've recently seen some of the members pop up in a few places to produce and whatnot."
"For some reason, I'm not into alot of female artists. Not to sound sexist - I'm not sure why this is. But there's something about Carrie Bradley (of 100 Watt Smile) that I absolutely love!"
"Wheatus are virtually unknown here in America, aside from the song Teenage Dirtbag, which most people tend to dislike, anyway. But they hit it big overseas. Good for them. They rock (especially live)!"
"The Sophtware Slump is such a great album to lay down and listen to with your headphones on and your eyes closed. All the good stuff you've heard about it is true. Give it a listen."
"Ska purists are always quick to put down Reel Big Fish, but you won't hear me say anything negative about this band. Of course, I don't know ska. To me, Why Do They Rock So Hard? is just a fun album."
"The last on my list, but certainly not the least. What can I say about The Pixies that hasn't already been said? They're wonderful! If you haven't heard anything from this band, you're missing out."
