guided by voices (duh!), everything from vampire on titus through under the bushes under the stars, but nothing from before and nothing after.
sebadoh, anything pre-bakesale, which basically means anything with the word "weed" somewhere in the title, i think.
harry smith's anthology of american folk music.
lots and lots of stuff recorded in the 1920s and '30s.

Are you thinking of "No Life"?
Smog albums from 1990-1993 were lo-fi affairs.

"No-Fi" was also Mike McGonigal's zine/label post-Chemical Imbalance and pre-Yeti.

Ok, because it's quirkier and sloppier which somehow adds a rickety charm to the whole endeavor (see the vast drop off in AIS quality as their recordings got tighter over the years), and besides it's apparently (maybe) reflecting the intentions of Simon Dine, who subsequent history has proven to be the more talented member of the group.

but the blue album has "runaway," AIS' true masterpiece. and "underground sound." and "there was a time." and blah and blah and blah. it's the album where they totally nail the '60s girl-group thing in their warped/distorted/homemade way. and i was under the impression that both the yellow and blue albums were true dine/beattie collaborations, but i could be wrong about that. am i?

Neutral Milk Hotel - On Avery Islandseconded. I like it more than In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, but that's also good.

Also, since somebody mentioned The Microphones, I'll add Mt. Eerie to the list.
Wolf Parade seconded.

Was just listening to the Rolling Stones doing I Can't Be Satisfied, and it reminded me how much I liked Doo Rag's version of it. I know they weren't the best band in the world or anything, but I really liked that album that came in that cardboard box, and which had a great version of John Henry on it. Ah, here we go - Chunked and Muddled
Which is all a thinly veiled plea - does anyone have a copy of Chunked and Muddled that they would be willing to HERK HERM? I'm not sure where else I'd ask to be honest.
