boxer over alligator? i LOVE the national so much.
and stereolab, a surprising but excellent choice! french disko is superb
it's not such a classic but i rate the argument as fugazi's best (controversial?).
whatever, good list. the fact that i love about 80% of these makes me think i have to check out the other 20%. ta.

IDEA! all the itunes slags should post the 'Top 25 most played'. this will show us what you're really into ...

wow this is such a great thread, there is so much quality here. whilst i don't have the time to make a list right this minute, i would just like to add:

Sublime- 40oz To Freedom.
