here's my pick- Cristina Aguilera-Stripped

 

Oooh come on!! She sang her ass off and the writing was real... :embarrased:

Coral- Magic In Medicine

The Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream

Broken Social Scene - You Forgot it In People (their first album sucked... their second is great)

Brian Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)

Bjork - Post (this one only counts if you don't count the album of Icelandic Jazz and the album she made when she was 11 years old)

Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Lift Your Skinny Fists like Antennas to Heaven

Do Make Say Think - Goodbye Enemy Airship The Landlord is Dead

Sunny Day Real Estate - LP2

Belle and Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister

Athlete - Tourist ...

 

definitely a better album than their first, Vehicles & Animals

Radiohead - The Bends

Radiohead - The Bends

ATHLETE - TOURIST

 

I guess I love both their albums , but in different ways.

 

And I hope The Killers and Snow Patrol produce cool second albums!

i prefered athletes first album 'vehicles and animals'. has a laid back summery feel to it :)

I agree with all of them! :)

also

interpol - antics

oasis - what's the story (morning glory)

doves - lost souls

Rufus wainwright - Poses

goo goo dolls - dizzy up the girl

the frames - fitzcarraldo

 

Dizzy up the girl was actually their 9th album (including re-releases of Jed and the self-titled album). Just a heads up. :)

I'm so glad that someone else caught that. I absolutely love the Goo Goo Dolls. I always thought it was their sixth though. Selt Titled, Jed, HMU, SCW, ABNG, and then Dizzy up the Girl. (Then EOAC, Gutterflower and Live)

.

Pearl Jam - Vs.

Radiohead - The Bends

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream

Foo Fighters - The Color And The Shape

Snow Patrol has three albums so far (Songs for polar bears, When it's all over we still have to clear, Final straw ) so they cannot make a new second :D

Athlete's second album is definitely better, from Interpol I prefer Turn on the bright lights..others:

- Foo fighters' Colour and the shape

- Kings of Leon: Aha shake heartbreak

and I have to mention Lostprophets' Start something...

Broken Social Scene - You Forgot it In People (their first album sucked... their second is great)

Belle and Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister

Yes! These are great albums
