I have been a big hip hop/rap and dance fan for years. A friend gave me 'Boxer' by The National and I absolutely love it. What else should I be listening to if I enjoy The National?

The Steve Goldberg Explosion

Go one album back with The National and fall even more in love with 'Alligator'.

Between difficult and impossible to say. What do you like about The National album? (p.s. I love it too.)

Sorry, but if you can't put your opinions into digestible sound bites, we can't help you. :)

Go-Betweens. Maybe Wilco's A.M.. Also, go beyond alt-rock and check out some Dylan records (John Wesley Harding} and "The Essential Guy Clark."

At the moment? The Wombats. Will be enormous in a couple of months. (Probably)

(yeah, no, I didn't think about The National comparison there, sorry. But listen to them anyway.)

Silkworm. Neutral Milk Hotel's ITAOTS (though keep that for last as you'll quickly realize you don't need anything else), Brainiac, Guided by Voices,... Shit like that. Altho I'm not sure if you'd label these as alt/indie.

in reference to anything, this is an incredibly depressing way of looking at music

anything produced by Steve Albini.

(i.e. nothing, since he doesn't "produce" ?)

Sorry, now I'm giving advice he never asked for.
