I've only heard The Congos album out of that lotDubversion said:
Your top five albums
- Thread starter Cheesypoof
- Start date
you'd probably hate most of it. Maybe you'd like the Low album..
You've not heard the Neutral Milk Hotel one, CD? It's superb
The low one is good too. Was listening to that the other day...

I'd probably like the Shellac and I like Nick Cave but because I am an ignoramus, I unthinkingly put the likes of Sparklehorse, Low and NMH in the category I call 'whiny shit'

I have fond memories of stagediving to Leatherface and landing on my face

I can't show you the entire list, since us anoraks don't like to tell people about the most secret music we love to love in solitude, lest the evilcool people STEAL it from us, and spoil the purity of it by pimping it out to the mainstream and writing about it in magazines- 
soon everyone else will know about it and listen to it too- and THEN we won't have any lovely secrets to comfort us, and we won't feel special anymore

Uggh!
I don't make the distinction between 'artist albums' and mixes really

For me that mix is pretty much the touchstone for when techno split into two camps - good quality po-faced techno and poopy trancy acidy technoMagneze said:It's brilliantly bouncy and fun and pretty much every track is a classic.
Cheesy, are you a journo for NME?

nirvana - in utero
arcade fire - funeral
...and you will now is by the trail of dead - source tages & code
jane's addiction - nothing's shocking
pop will eat itself - this is the day, this is the hour, this is this

this is hardcore - pulp
hot fuss - the killers
scissor sisters - scissor sisters
modern life is rubbish - blur
come find yourself - fun loving criminals
as i type this, even i have to concede that doesn't look very impressive. they're not the cds i listen to most, either. mostly i listen to compilations - but i don't really count them as albums, because they aren't that shaped entity of themselves.
favoured compilations include:
voice of the beehive
the cure
dean martin
various sixties soul cds.

Number 1 is the Wu-Tang Clan's "Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)", and then, after much deliberation the following four in no particular order;
The Buzzcocks - "Singles Going Steady"
Basement Jaxx - "Kish Kash"
Chuck Berry - "The Anthology"
Girls Aloud - "Sound Of the Underground"
I selected these five to provide as much of a variety of my tastes as possible, so the Wu prevented any of Dre's work getting in, likewise the Jaxx with Daft Punk, and they are liable to change on any given day, and as I acquire more albums. They are in no way wholy representative of my likes and dislikes though, although "Enter...." will remain my ultimate for the forseeable future.
