BEST OF THE DECADE

4. Modest Mouse-Good News For People Who Love Bad News (2003)

This record will always hold a special place in my heart. Not only did it make me pay attention to "indie" music, but it also the first album to make me feel genuinely upset. The best or worst memory I have of this album is listening to it to and from my grandmother's funeral. Even though this record can come off as terribly bitter something about the songs just made me sad, but it was real emotion. Even if they made their first major pop hit with this song, it is far from a pop record. It is on a major label, but it is pretty far from your typical lighthearted pop record. I am glad this album had as much exposure as it did because it turned to one of my all-time favorite bands. Thanks for the memories Mr. Brock.
