Just Discovered Rock'N'Roll

I'd like to, first and foremost, congratulate Chris on an excellent post title. If anyone reading doesn't recognize his reference, or the one in my title, I'd strongly recommend purchasing and listening to Art Brut's debut album, Bang Bang Rock & Roll.

Secondly, I'd like to start today off with a list of recommended listening, just because I'm bored and it seemed like the thing to do. Let's break this down by category.

Indie

• Gorilla Manor by Local Natives. It was just suggested to me by my brother, and it's pretty much fantastic. It's available on Groove Shark, and I don't currently own it, but I would if I had any money at all.
• At the moment, I cannot stop listening to Dinosaur Jr. material from the '80s, particularly You're Living All Over Me. Specifically, the tracks "The Lung," "Sludgefest," "Raisans," "Tarpit," and their cover of The Cure's "Just Like Heaven." Of course, any and all of the Dino discography is well worth listening to, even the much maligned Without a Sound.

Blues

• Junior Kimbrough is required listening, plain and simple.
  
• Current garage-rock, blues-based group The Black Keys, who have a new album coming out in about two weeks, should also be heard. Since I'm calling this blues instead of rock, let's go with the excellent set of Kimbrough covers Chulahoma. Besides that, I'd start out with Rubber Factory or The Big Come Up.

Good Ol' Rock'N'Roll

• Tim by The Replacements. The expanded edition is recommended, especially for outtakes of "Kiss Me On the Bus," "Waitress In the Sky," and "Can't Hardly Wait."
• Nirvana Live at Reading. I don't know if it's cool to like Nirvana anymore, but this is a pretty excellent live show. I particularly recommend "Aneurysm."
  

Anyway, that's what's on the docket for me.
