Hex Enduction Hour - The Fall
Zen Arcade - Husker Du
Born Sandy Devotional - The Triffids
Viva Dead Ponies - Fatima Mansions
The Ramones 1st album
 
late to the game but what the heck:

Rory Gallagher - Deuce
Buena Vista Social Club - Buena Vista Social Club
Gravenhurst - Fires In Distant Buildings
Kaki King - Dreaming Of Revenge
Sixto Rodriguez - Cold Fact

(in no particular order)
 
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"

So young, so naive. The Wu remain seven years on, but, off the top of my head, I'll add in the following;

Andrew WK - I Get Wet
The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy
Mogwai - Les Revenants
DJ Assault - Off The Chain for the Y2K
 
Big Black - Songs About Fucking
Lemonheads - Shame About Ray
Neil Young - After the Goldrush
Tom Waits - dead heat between Bone Machine and Rain Dogs
Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger

Fuck that's difficult. I'm sure it'd be different if you asked me in an hours time.

they'd all make my top 20.

i'll draw a veil over the wanky metal album at the end of the list ;)

I think I was already old enough in 2007 not to embarrass myself too much - list holds up ok. But Dub was right, I guess. Not that I'm ashamed of it mind, but it's the only one of mine that I probably haven't listened to since I wrote that post.
 
No particular order:

ZNR - Barricades 3
Comus - First Utterance
Albert Ayler - Live in Greenwich Village: The Complete Impulse Recordings
Ground Zero - Revolutionary Pekinese Opera
Sun Ra and His Solar Arkestra - The Magic City
 
beastie boys - pauls boutique
sonic youth - sister
lee perry - blackboard jungle
reatards - teenage hate
13th floor elevators - psychedelic sounds of

bit like a list that Mojo might come up with.
