[Alternative/Indie rock]
After tackling Yoshimi, I decided to stick around the year 2002, and post some Wilco.
This is basically, the little album that could.
After being rejected by their label for not being "catchy" or marketable enough, this album caused Wilco to be dropped.
Wikipedia:
"As the band searched for a new label to release the album, they decided to stream it at their official website to discourage illegal trading of low-quality MP3s. The band signed with Nonesuch Records, another Time Warner subsidiary, and the album was released in the spring of 2002. When it was released, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot reached number thirteen on the Billboard 200, Wilco's highest chart position to that date. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot sold over 590,000 copies, and to date remains Wilco's best selling album. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was met with wide critical acclaim: it topped 2002's Pazz & Jop critics' poll, was named one of the 100 greatest albums of all time by Q Magazine."
This album is basically one of the quintessential releases from Wilco, and an indie rock must have.
Guitar rock, with pop sensitivities and a pretty nice degree of experimentation.
You'll enjoy this.
