I don't have much time giving this real thought,

But for me some more recent work comes to mind

Elliott Brood - Ambassador, 2005 Open yet dark folky countrypop, so simple it blows your head off.

dEUS-Worst Case Scenario, 1994 shoves Beck under the carpet.

On edit: I guess Dinosaur Jr's Where you been, should be here too. Maybe something by Jon Spencer Bluesexplosion?

And Royal Trux selftitled album from 1992. Wikepedia: the band explored every inch of the rock-and-roll cliché from sub-underground nihilism to major-label biz for hire, without abandoning their unique romanticism and artistic integrity. Well, maybe they were just bad.
