I know we already have an official music guide/sampler selection for artists playing at ROO but I am more of an album man...rather than picking up singles or just downloading a few tracks...if anyone has any suggestions for ONE album to pick up from any of the artists it would be more helpful to me at least.

I think everyone is going to point of different records...guess I'll throw in my 2 cents
Spoon - Kill the Moonlight (the height of the definitive Spoon sound) White Stripes - Elephant (WBC is the farthest from the WS sound, Jack placed limitations on this album, no guitar solos! no blues jams!) Black Keys - The Big Come Up (least produced album, closest to the Keys true sound on stage) Decemberists - Picaresque King of Leon - Youth and Youngmanhood

I'd change the Widespread Panic reccomendation to shows. Live in Classic City would have been a great representation of live Panic, if Mikey wasn't dead. panicstream.com/vault.htm/ has a ton of live Panic, and basically every show with Jimmy Herring, who will be playing with the boys at roo. I'd suggest 11/3/06, 12/31/06, and 10/30/06 for your listening pleasure. 10/30 has a ton of cover tunes, so it may be a good place for a lot of non-spreadheads to start.
If you like The National, do yourself a favor and get The Cherry Tree EP if you haven't already got it. For my money, it's the best thing they've done.
Lily Allen - Alright, Still Debut album, poppy british stuff, but it's good, good, good. Nothing wrong with a well-executed pop song.
Tool - Lateralus This could be debated for hours, but in my most humble opinion, this comes out on top of a very strong catalog.
Clutch - Blast Tyrant I don't know the whole album that well, but it's my instant favorite simply for the lyrics in "The Mob Goes Wild" i.e. - "Please allow me to adjust my pants/so that I may dance the good-time dance" and "Condaleeza Rice is nice/But I prefer A-Roni"
Gotta give some love to Clutch, and if there's one lesser-known artist worth checking out this year, it's them. (Though I'm sure there are many others.
It is an amazing CD.
