Liars / "Be Quiet, Mt. Heart Attack!" / Drum's Not Dead / 2006
Impressionistic, creepy, and utterly hypnotic. Finally they showed that their experimental side could also be remotely listenable, unlike their previous album, They Were Wrong, So We Drowned.

Juliana Theory / "Do You Believe Me?" / Love / 2003
A U2-ish piano leads a slightly emo set of lyrics that's still delivered with a bit more umph than average.

Garbage / "Breaking Up the Girl" / beautifulgarbage / 2001

Lady Gaga / "Disco Heaven" / The Fame / 2008
You can't deny she's a chunk of fun. This lives up to its title, and is completely impossible to stand still to.

Bloc Party / "Flux" / Flux (Single) / 2007
This hinted heavily at the electronic direction they would soon follow on Intimacy, but it still remained the best.

The All-American Rejects / "I'm Waiting" / Move Along / 2005
Emo-tinged power pop, which I always seem to have a soft spot for.

Minipop / "Like I Do" / The New Hope / 2007
At times this reminds me of where Sixpence None the Richer might be today, and at other times it suggests a less histrionic, female-fronted Coldplay.

Brand New / "Jesus Christ" / The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me / 2006
A gut-wrenching progression; a song that sounds like Modest Mouse colliding with the Church and Brand New's previous album, Deja Entendu.
