General

Two albums I can't believe I forgot how awesome they are:

"Live in Texas" Linkin park (Best of both great albums, Hybrid Theory and Meteora)

"One" by Ra their biggest hit 'Do You Call My Name' kicks it off and it's solid and excellent the entire way through!


I have to add
'Cracked Rear View' by Hootie & The Blowfish Hold My Hand, Time, Let her Cry....an amazing album. I miss the 90's

In no order whatsoever.

Oceansize - The Frame
Paul Simon - Surprise
Deerhoof - Offend Maggie
The Cure - Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
The Most Serene Republic - Population
Anais Mitchell - Hadestown
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
Sponge - Rotting Piñata
Grüvis Malt - Maximum Unicorn
Steely Dan - Katy Lied
Kevin Gilbert - Thud
Yes - Close to the Edge
Genesis - Abacab
Squeeze - Argybargy
Crash Test Dummies - God Shuffled His Feet
As Tall As Lions - As Tall As Lions
XTC - Skylarking
Noisettes - What's the Time, Mr. Wolf?

I would have to agree on Revolver. Though I have a soft spot for the Love album, I thought it was beautifully done and got me back into the Beatles after years away...

Others, blimey, that's hard.

Currently:
The Guillemots: Through the Windowpane
Nick Drake: Pink Moon
Fleet Foxes: Helplessness Blues
Vashti Bunyan: Lookaftering
John Martyn: Solid Air
Kate Bush: Aerial
James Taylor: Sweet Baby James

I'll have to check the second of those out, just for the title!

A big list I know, but it's hard to pick favourites. Of all these albums my first choice is probably The Stranglers, Rattus Norvegicus.

Well I'm gonna go off-piste here with some off-kilter modern jazz:

Wayne Shorter - Beyond the Sound Barrier
Blood Sutra - Vijay Iyer Quartet
Robert Glasper - Double Booked & In My Element
Esbjorn Svensson Trio - Seven Days of Falling
John Randall Quintet - Insomnia

Yay for music that sounds like someone just dropped their toolbox haha

Grace is practically untouchable. I'm rather enjoying the new Bon Iver too, even if the last track does sound a bit like Toto
