| Iggy Pop Tiny Girls The Idiot Virgin Records 1977 Debut solo LP from The Stooges front man and godfather of punk.

| Massive Attack Pray for Rain Heligoland Virgin Records 2010 Fifth studio LP from this experimental electronic-focused English act. Vocal contributions throughout this LP from members of Blur, Mazzy Star, Elbow, TV On the Radio, plus reggae artist Horace Andy. David Bowie was to be a vocal contributor but that did not happen. |

| Interpol My Desire El Pintor Matador 2014 Fifth studio LP and one of five singles released from this Manhattan band. Their 2002 debut LP "Turn On the Bright Lights" drew some (unfair) comparisons to Joy Division, though that release is now celebrated by fans and critics alike. |
10:56 PM |
| Bob Mould Low Season Beauty & Ruin Merge Records 2014 11th studio LP from the former Husker Du and Sugar band member. Fun Fact: Bob Mould was at one time a writer for World Championship Wrestling (WCW). |

| Wire Circumspect Object 47 P-Vine NonStop 2008 From the great English band formed in 1977. 11th studio LP. Title is a reference to the fact that this released marked the 47th recording made available by the band. |
11:03 PM |
| The Flaming Lips Oh My Pregnant Head Transmissions from the Satellite Heart Warner Records 1993 The Flaming Lips saw some mainstream success with their sixth studio LP following the minor commercial radio hit "She Don't Use Jelly".

11:07 PM |
| Dinosaur Jr. Almost Fare I Bet On Sky Play It Again Sam 2012 10th studio LP from the alt/noise-rock band. Rolled through Tucson in support of this album with a show at the Rialto. One of the loudest shows I've ever attended. |

| Protex Night Of Action Strange Obsessions Rob's House Records 2010 Irish punk band directly inspired by The Clash, with this band's name taken from the Clash cut "Protex Blue".
