Best Indie Record Store, Oakland County

UHF

512 S. Washington Ave., Royal Oak; 248-545-5955; uhfmusic.com

Although it hasn't even been around for two years, UHF already ranks as one of the best record shops in metro Detroit (and not just 'cause our readers say so). The store homes in on quality new and used vinyl, including pristine rarities and an ample local section. Dollar bins, used CDs and DVDs, hip merch and frequent in-store performances courtesy of local acts round out UHF's irresistible cool.
