I'd have to say some of my favorites have been

Beck "Guero"
Jet "Get Born"
Chemical Brothers "Push the bottom"

I've been spinning these discs ALOT lately. Jet, I could listen to for hours during the summer. Everytime I was at home with beer, that CD was playing. "Close your Eyes" by the Chemical Brothers sounds more like a Smashing Pumpkins tune then a Chem Bros tune, its quite brilliant how different this latest effort sounds then the rest of their releases (which I also adore also.

I really do want to check out some Social Distortion, is there a particular album I should start with? I quite like punk, I have a couple albums by Rancid, a bunch of The Clash, and even todays pop punk like Blink 182 is quite fun. I've heard many great things about Social distortion, have to check them out.
