I'm going to throw one in the mix that's pretty left-field: Creeper Lagoon. Take Back the Universe and Give Me Yesterday is the great lost 90s album- put on "Chance of a Lifetime" and try to not get psyched up.
Also totally underrated: The New Radicals. Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too is what would happen if Hall and Oates tried to write a Hold Steady album, especially the second track. Trust me.

the box set is so awesome. it'd be great if people really start going back and taking notice. with any luck, okkervil river fans will check out the new record and then get his other stuff. god knows roky could use the money

there's also about a million pop punk bands i'd list
mostly because pop punk is a genre that's not really taken very seriously by people outside of the pop punk scene
and thats a shame
